HISTORY

Mandy Christiansen and Noel Plemmons coincidentally moved to Portland around the same time. The two dancers, having worked together with Lizz Roman & Dancers in San Francisco, separately chose Portland as their new home for much the same reason; they recognized that Portland offers an artist a more sustainable style of living than their former hometown. Heavily influenced by Roman's fierce, yet felt, site-specific dances, the two transplants decided to share what they love with Portland.

POV Dance is an attempt to build upon what they learned from Roman. Each dancer brings her/his own dance background into the mix to create, what they hope to be, enchanting and beautiful dance installations in many spaces throughout Portland.
