In May 2022, Portland Ovations presents the world premiere of "Hour Wolf"(working title), a full-length solo contemporary dance performance by dancemaker Riley Watts in collaboration with Heather Stewart/little house dance. Exploring mental illness and the physical mind, "Hour Wolf" is one of the first works to premiere from Ovations’ new Maine Artists Commissioning Program. In addition to the public performance, the project also encompasses dance masterclasses, a digital conversation and podcast around the work’s evolution, and a panel on mental health and the body.
