Mission
Since 1995, Conduit Dance, Inc. has been at the forefront of contemporary dance in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. We draw from our extensive collection of materials to curate exhibitions, performances, screenings, talks, and lectures, both at our studio in Portland and in partnership with organizations nationwide.
In the progressive and independent spirit of our founders, Linda K. Johnson and Mary Oslund, Conduit's mission is to advance contemporary dance while preserving and deepening engagement with the art form’s history, practice, and performance. Through our modular and accessible programming, Conduit fosters learning, appreciation, and creativity for artists and audiences alike.
