Monthly Artist: August 08
Sojourn Theatre is an eight year-old, multi-ethnic, ensemble-based company making new performance in Portland, Oregon and around the nation. With a commitment to both adventurous theatricality and community engagement, Sojourn creates unique, often site-specific investigations of stories and themes that consistently surprise, delight and provoke diverse audiences. National touring, a body of 18 major works, and a growing international reputation for cutting-edge, high-quality arts and civic dialogue innovation allow the company to explore a variety of projects which bring our team of designers, performers and logistical wizards together on the road and at home. We match the fierce standards, risk-taking and exploration that drive our art-making with strong and innovative community engagement strategies.
