Wooden Dimes Tickets

Wooden Dimes is a dynamic performer-project celebrated for its Broadway-glamour aesthetic and narrative storytelling. Originating as a dance film world premiere in 2021 for the San Francisco Ballet, the work was later adapted for live performance, marking a notable entry into the contemporary dance landscape. The live stage debut occurred in early April 2024 at Portland's Newmark Theatre, integrated into a mixed-repertory program that paired the Wooden Dimes program with Ben Stevenson’s Three Preludes and Yue Yin’s Just Above the Surface. The production features an original score by James M. Stephenson, specially arranged for the onstage orchestra in the Portland production, underscoring the ensemble's storytelling with lush, cinematic textures.

Wooden Dimes exists within a broader ecosystem of choreographic innovation and collaboration. The project has drawn attention from major dance media, including a Guardian review in 2021 and coverage by Oregon ArtsWatch, highlighting its cinematic accessibility and strong narrative arc. While there are currently no publicly announced Wooden Dimes tour dates for 2025, fans and followers can expect continued activity from organizations connected to the work, notably within the Pacific Northwest dance scene.

About the artist: Wooden Dimes is closely associated with choreographer Danielle Rowe, an Australian-born artist who serves as the Artistic Director of Oregon Ballet Theatre (OBT). This collaboration brings together Rowe’s choreographic voice and the project’s theatrical storytelling, with Roots in contemporary dance that resonates with both seasoned dance enthusiasts and new audiences.
