Portland based Physical Education (P.E.) is comprised of dance and performance artists keyon gaskin, Allie Hankins, Lu Yim and Takahiro Yamamoto. P.E.’s vision is to offer performance audiences, artists of all mediums and curious individuals, immersive methods of engaging with dance and performance.
P.E. acknowledges and scrutinizes the perceived illegibility and messiness of the performing body. P.E. organizes and hosts READING GROUPS, LECTURES, curated PERFORMANCES, AEROBICS/MOVEMENT classes, and straight-up sweat-it-out DANCE PARTIES.
P.E.’s motivation is to inspire critical dialogue between individuals of varying mediums and practices, while deepening their connection to performance and their sense of embodiment.

Pidzn Club is funded by: PIDZN Club has received funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation, RACC, and the PICA Precipice Fund.
The PIDZN CLUB online publication is a series of posts in which we commissioned artists to highlight new and/or existing work. PIDZN CLUB is a project that seeks to enliven artists creating within the virtual and physical Asian Diaspora. How do we move through the confines of historical representation and encounter the unknowable? With "diaspora" as glue, we curate artists who expand and re-future "Asian" through their work.
PIDZN CLUB produced it's first live showing in Portland, OR in August 2019.
PIDZN CLUB is organized by:
Yun Yu Chiu, Takahiro Yamamoto, Lu Yim, and Mickey Sanchez
