Linda Austin and Tahni Holt are pleased to announce our Dinner Series fundraiser. Each dinner will host two Portland performers, artists or writers in discussion with each other and the dinner guests. There will be one dinner each month, with the first one kicking off on Feb. 27th. We do this for our love for communal eating, a desire for more discourse that touches upon performance as an art among other arts, and a curiosity about other people’s processes: what & how & why they make what they make and do what they do. Please help us realize our 2010 performance projects, Tahni’s CULTURE MACHINE and Linda’s PAIRED SPECTACULAR.
To make reservations please email Tahni at HELLO@TAHNIHOLT.COM.
All dinners start at 7pm and are at undisclosed locations (Portland bound).
Seating is limited to 20 people so please make your reservations now.
We hope to see you at one or many of our dinners,
Tahni Holt Linda Austin

This class is a laboratory and it is a construction site. What is constructed and possibilities of research depend on the participants. We decide what space we create. Is it an open space, or a closed space? Is it one space, or several? Is it a public space or a private one? Like scientists we work with functions, like philosophers we work in concepts and as artists we compose blocks of space-time. It is a forum for possibilities, a production of communications and situations. It is a performance. Not because I say so but because you say so. It is a class. Not because I say so but because you say so. I say: perform more,
share more, perform more, share more, talk more, think more, pretend less, pretend more? You say: Yes.
Things that could possibly take place in our lab: reading, writing, discussing, viewing, doing, eating, drinking, sharing, dancing, performing. Your first assignment is to find three more things that could possibly take place and share one of these things with the rest of us. In the end, as in the beginning, I am sure this will help us define the space. What if the way it is taught is what is being taught. You say yes. I say yes.
