On October 7, Profile Theatre will release the first audio play in their 2020-2021 season ON AIR. ​Mlima’s Tale​ — a vibrant piece of story-theatre with original music — tells the story of Mlima, last of the “big-tusker” elephants in Kenya, killed for the international ivory market. As his tusks change hands and travel the world from Kenya, to Vietnam, to Beijing, Mlima’s spirit follows. Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, Lynn Nottage (​Sweat​ and ​Ruined)​ , ​Mlima’s Tale​ explores ancestral history and the trauma that arises when bodies are subject to market forces and human greed.

Free for members and available to non-members for 24-hour rentals at a sliding scale.

BodyVox has created an immersive cinematic experience based upon their stage show BloodyVox. Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland have embarked on the creation of their first feature-length film, in collaboration with award-winning filmmaker Robert Uehlin, one of the Northwest’s most exciting new voices in the cinematic world of Screendance.

BloodyVox: Lockdown is a scream of a night celebrating BodyVox’s favorite time of year. This new feature-length dance film is inspired by the classic films Rocky Horror Picture Show, Moulin Rouge, The Blair Witch Project, and Chicago. BloodyVox: Lockdown is a dance theater experience that mines cinema, folklore, and our collective nightmares to bring All Hallow’s Eve to life. This re-vamped production features audience favorites in a new and exciting way. In addition to the return of every arachnophobe’s dear “Little Miss Tough It” and camper’s nightmare “First Bite,” BloodyVox: Lockdown also features the dark and whimsical “Side Show” and the premiere of “Lockdown,” a new dance showcasing the cinematic and choreographic prowess of Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland.

Location: A NW Portland partially covered drive-in site, announced following ticket purchase. Tickets start at $35 and you can purchase them here!
