The first Dreams Landing-sponsored performance took place on Friday and Saturday, November 20 and 21, 2009  at Hipbone Studio, 1847 E. Burnside #104, in Portland, OR.

“The Sound of Renewal: How Myth and Dream Unite Us All” was a two part performance event.  The first part was a live presentation (with sound effects and a cast of 5) of the original audio drama “The Old Woman and the Sea,” while the second part, “A Dialogue For Dreamers,” was interactive — members of the audience were invited to bring their own dreams, and see a dream brought to life!

“The Old Woman and the Sea” was written by Peter Armetta, and  the performance featured a live, improvised musical score by Joe Sorce and Ben Gardiner.

“The Sound of Renewal” was presented in part through a grant from the Regional Arts & Culture Council.

A landing is a touching down, a coming to earth. A Landing is a place where people gather as journeys begin and end, a place where goods are loaded, unloaded, and claimed for future use. Dreams Landing aspires to be a staging ground for the images and stories held in a community’s unconscious, an arena where we can affirm that we must live our stories together in the timeless land of myth and dream, as well as in the world of daily life.

We embark from the Landing with two initial ports of call:
Mythological Audio Dramas and a Dream Gallery.
