SUMMARY:Unit Souzou: Constant State of Otherness
DESCRIPTION:Constant State of Otherness is a multi-layered performance exploring the impacts of the universal experiences of othering and alienation. Through taiko\, Japanese folk dance\, song\, and personal story\, six performers guide the audience through a four-part journey inspired by experiences of isolation and displacement that come from not having an easy sense of home. \nRooted in ancestral wisdom and survival\, Constant State of Otherness resists simplistic translations of language\, cultural ways\, and the complicated emotions that otherness evokes. By allowing their stories to fractally unfold through the resonance of drum\, voice\, and movement\, Unit Souzou offers an invitation to locate our shared longing to belong.

SUMMARY:Minidoka Swing Band
DESCRIPTION:Imagine yourself as a young adult born in America\, knowing only the U.S. as your home. Now\, picture the country of your birth rounding up you and your family to be imprisoned because your ancestors legally immigrated from a country currently at war with the U.S. How would you deal with this upheaval in your life? \nThe Minidoka Swing Band dives into this topic\, taking you on a journey detailing the experiences of the Japanese Americans during World War 2 as they were forced into internment camps in the U.S. Seeking to create as normal a life as possible\, people in the camps formed sports teams\, Boy Scout troops\, and often held Saturday night dances for young adults and teens\, with music by bands formed in the camps. \nThe Minidoka Swing Band performs swing tunes from the Big Band era—music of the 1930s and 1940s popular in the internment camps of WW2—paying tribute to the resilience of the Americans unjustly imprisoned by the only country they ever knew. This evening will also include a presentation about these troubling events from United States history. \nThis performance\, supported by a City of Hillsboro Performance Series Grant\, directly supports the Minidoka Swing Band\, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Immigrant Story.

DESCRIPTION:The Roaring ‘20s meet the holiday season in this evening benefiting the arts in Hillsboro! Good Co brings an electric mix of tunes from the swing era and dance music of today\, with a healthy splash of holiday cheer stirred in. With a “new-old” sound\, the era of jitterbugging flappers and underground speakeasies combines with modern day pop\, dance\, and funk music. \nThis year’s annual concert to benefit the Hillsboro Arts & Culture Endowment features complimentary wine and dessert\, a donation paddle raise\, and the opportunity to dust off your dancing shoes. Nik Whitcomb of Bag&Baggage Productions and Harrison Butler of HART Theatre will emcee the evening. \nMore about Good Co.\nBrassy\, flashy\, and always a little sassy\, electro swing band Good Co is reimagining the dance music of today by taking the sound and style of the past and flipping it on its head. One of the first live electro swing bands in the U.S\, jazz came first to the band members and the “electro” followed after. Since 2013\, Good Co has performed around the world over and their music can be heard on radio\, label compilations\, independent films\, and on television. Whether it’s performing their music 10\,000 feet up in the Austrian Alps (true story)\, underwater (in bathing suits no less!) at the Bad Sulza Spa\, at a community theatre\, neighborhood performance center\, or local school\, Good Co is thrilled to play anywhere with a crowd ready for a good time!

SUMMARY:The Wardens
DESCRIPTION:The Wardens don’t just sing about the land\, they’re part of it. The Rocky Mountain-based band’s stories and songs rise from the very land they’ve protected as Canadian national park wardens collectively for over 50 years. With haunting three-part harmonies and chilling tales\, the band’s mountain music—blending folk\, roots\, and western styles—reflects Canada’s protected wilderness areas. \nCelebrating the return of wild buffalo\, wrangling grizzly bears\, lonely nights on the pack trail\, and reflecting on an environment in crisis\, a performance by The Wardens has been dubbed “the quintessential mountain-culture concert experience.” \nThere are few places in the world where wilderness exists in such abundance\, where you can jump on a horse or slip on hiking boots and disappear for weeks on end. The Wardens bring these experiences to the stage\, painting a picture so vivid that you’ll almost “smell the Pine forests and hear the Grizzly Bear in the woods.” (My Musix Blog)
