White Bird is a dance presenter. Instead of creating our own performances, we curate, host, and share work by artists from around the world.

You can think of White Bird like a film festival or a concert promoter.
A film festival doesn’t make the movies—it selects great films and gives audiences a chance to experience them. In the same way, White Bird selects extraordinary dance companies and brings them to Portland.

Adult tickets can be as low as $20 (Neon Green seats), and children’s tickets start at just $6 when accompanied by an adult. We’re committed to keeping performances accessible, with a range of pricing options and discounts for artists, families, students, seniors, and means-tested programs.

Not at all! White Bird performances are for everyone—no prior knowledge of dance is needed, just curiosity and an open mind.

We present a wide range of dance, spanning genres such as contemporary dance, percussive dance, hip-hop, contemporary ballet, and innovative reinterpretations of traditional forms.

White Bird doesn’t have a single home theater—we present performances in several venues across Portland and Beaverton to accommodate different artists and audiences.

We curate each season by selecting exceptional artists from around the world whose work is innovative, powerful, and culturally relevant. Our goal is to balance established companies with exciting new voices to create a diverse season that offers something for everyone while continually introducing our community to fresh perspectives.

Yes—many performances are appropriate for youth, though we recommend checking individual show details for age guidance.
