Figurative Art, Performance and Event Space

Hipbone was founded 21 years ago in a very small studio downtown in the Pythian Building. Since then, with a couple of other locations and now in our current much larger space, it has evolved from its original purpose-to provide a space for visual artists to engage and study the human figure and respond creatively to it-to one that also includes the performing arts. The studio easily converts from what many say is the best place to draw in town, into a real, live theater to accomodate drama, storytelling, dance, music, literary readings, etc.. Other welcome uses have included; private parties, craft fairs, photography shoots, classes and rehearsals.

Since my childhood I have been captivated by and curious about the drama of human being and with Hipbone I feel excited and happy knowing it has become a place for myself and other creatives to explore and respond to its myriad reflections.

Introducing the Wednesday Night Eyeopener Special

Instructor-Facilitator: Jeff Burke
Every Wednesday: 6:30-9:30pm
Beginning October 1st

A blend of the Field Guide to the Figure Class and a regular Drawing Session in two parts:

Part 1- 6:30-7:20pm
A thorough exposition of a particular region of the figure. Using another model (usually female), direct demonstration, performance and slideshow, your eyes will be opened to vital insights to help you structure and develop your drawing.

Part 2- 7:30-9:30pm
Based on revelations during the demo, you proceed to draw from the model as you will, with no further guidance from the instructor. Poses will be 10 minutes of gestures and then three 30 minute poses that directly relate to that night’s subject. Some referential markings upon the model will be left to help guide you.

Drop-in, no registration required.

Cost: $20 for entire session
$10 for Part 1
$10 for Part 2

Instructor-Jeff Burke

This Fall marks the beginning of a new format for the Field Guide Class.

They will also be more frequent, generally every other Saturday for the term of the class.

	SESSIONS INCLUDE: • Lecture-Demos • Guided drawing time • Exemplary slideshows of masterworks • Summary handouts

PORTLAND, Ore September 17, 2008—Where can you purchase the talents of master playwrights and subject them to your every theatrical whim?  At Portland Theatre Works’ InsomniaActs!  This fundraiser for Portland Theatre Works starts on Oct 10th, 7:30 PM at Hipbone Studios where you will watch six short plays written by local playwrights.  Audience members will then bid to give their own first lines and last lines to their playwright of choice.  The entire audience will pick three props to be used by all the playwrights, who will create new plays overnight, which will be cast, rehearsed, and performed the very next day, October 11th, at 7:30pm again at Hipbone Studios.  Madness, you say?  Well it’s this sort of madness that keeps body and soul together at Portland Theatre Works.  Come to challenge us, create with us, celebrate with us, and give to us!  $12 will get you in either night, or see both for $20.
Our Friday night line-up includes Ciji Guerin’s “37 cents”, Ellen Kesend’s “The Rain, The Goddamn Rain”, Ed Reid’s “Happy”, Fancesca Sanders’ “Disgruntled Tiny Tim”, Marguerite Scott’s “Not Me” and Nick Zagone’s “Smoke Scenes”.
Portland Theatre Works is dedicated to connecting new scripts and playwrights to audiences in Portland.  Their FreshWorks series offers a monthly staged readings of  developing scripts.  After the reading, audience members can stay for a talk-back session with the playwright, asking questions and giving feedback that will help the fledgling script mature into a play ready for a full performance.  Their LabWorks series selects a script from FreshWorks to explore in a rehearsed workshop performance, followed by moderated discussion.
