Dance The Dream: Into the Visual Realm of Kate Bush

THIS EVENT IS TAKING PLACE AT THE TOMORROW THEATER - 3530 SE DIVISION ST. THIS EVENT IS ENTIRELY SOLD OUT. THANK YOU PORTLAND! We are thrilled to present a special screening of Kate Bush’s mystical art film The Line, The Cross, The Curve , directed by, written by and starring Kate Bush. It was released in 1993 as a companion piece to her album The Red Shoes, and features 6 songs from the album. The album and the film both draw inspiration from the classic Grimm’s fairytale of The Red Shoes, as well as Michael Powell’s 1948 film of the same name. We’ll also kick off the screening with a curated selection of some of Kate Bush’s most iconic music videos, from the fertile early years of her career, 1978-1993, which saw her collaborating with the likes of Terry Gilliam and more. Join us as we step into the visual realm of this singular avant-pop diva, a world rich with mythology and magic, full of striking fashion, sumptuous sets, deep symbolic imagery, and imaginal resonance. As we journey through her music videos, as well as her film, we see her embodying a myriad of feminine archetypes, holding a mirror up to these aspects of womanhood. Her music, and her cinematic offerings, invite us – to quote Clarissa Pinkola Estes in Women Who Run with the Wolves – to experience “ llamar o tocar a la puerta , the fairy-tale knock at the door of the deep feminine psyche.” This event is curated by Gina Altamura, Holocene talent buyer and also known as DJ Serious Moonlight on XRAY.FM , and is presented at the Tomorrow Theater in partnership with PAM CUT, Holocene, and XRAY.FM .
