OBT MOVES

OBT’s 2020/21 Season is aptly titled OBT MOVES reflecting the company’s literal movement out of traditional theaters and mode of performance, to locations throughout Portland offering rare behind-the-scenes access revealing what ballet is, and what it can be. In addition to newly planned season of in-person and digital performances, OBT MOVES will feature a range of public activities including pop up appearances, demonstrations, and classes presented by OBT company dancers, students, and teaching artists.
