about conduit dance, inc.


"Its digs are small but its reach is wide. Conduit Dance, the intimate performance studio in downtown's sunlit Pythian Building, has changed the face of modern dance in Portland."
- Oregonian


Conduit Dance is devoted to advancing contemporary dance by providing support for the creation of new work, a vital performance forum for the community, and professional training.

Conduit further seeks to create a broad-based community resource for dance artists. As a hub of collaboration with other regional and national dance organizations, Conduit provides a dynamic, inviting contemporary dance center accessible to diverse audiences.

Unlike many other artistic disciplines, dance is not created first on paper and then brought into the studio. Choreographers require a consistent viable dance space, and significant rehearsal time with a company of dancers to create new work. Conduit acts as a crossroad where choreographers, dancers, musicians, costume designers, set and lighting designers can work to develop new collaborations.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization, Conduit aims to continue expanding its role as a nexus for regional, national, and international dialogue on contemporary art, dance, and performance.
