About The Company
Our Origins
Constructive Interference is a company created by Eliana Perlmutter, Mara Rico, Meghan McClure, and Sequoia Allen. Each member brings their own experience to the group from dance pole, gymnastics, partner dance, traditional and contemporary circus. The four producers met in 2021 during the Elements Training Program at The Circus Project. Creating their end of year show formed a bond between them and a passion to continue creating together. Bringing their backgrounds together creates a unique style to their shows.

Land Acknowledgement
Indigenous tribes and bands have been with the lands that we inhabit today throughout Oregon and the Northwest since time immemorial and continue to be a vibrant part of the region today. We would like to express our respect to the First Peoples of this land.
It is important that we recognize and honor the ongoing legal and spiritual relationship between the land, plants, animals, and people indigenous to this city we now call Portland. The interconnectedness of the people, the land, and the natural environment cannot be overstated; the health of one is necessary for the health of all. We recognize the pre-existing and continued sovereignty of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Cowlitz, Clackamas, and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians who have ties to this place and thank them for continuing to share their traditional ecological knowledge and perspective on how we might care for one another and the land, so it can take care of us. We must not forget that this land was taken through theft, genocide, and forced treaty. It is our responsibility to uplift and make reparations to native communities, and break the continuing cycles of colonial oppression and violence. Please take a moment to donate to the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) to support the community or share this resource if you are unable to donate.
About Echo Theater
ECHO'S MISSION
To create space for collaboration, empowerment and the joyful celebration of community using movement and ensemble theater traditions, imaginative play, and aerial arts to help people of all abilities discover their potential, encourage perseverance and embrace their humanity.
The ETC School encourages physical confidence, freedom, and grace in a creative, non-competitive atmosphere. Students of all ages and abilities develop strength, balance, flexibility, and creativity while working with others to explore the intersection of circus, movement, and storytelling. We support a faculty of teaching artists, who cultivate their students’ abilities, model through performance and are life-long learners themselves. Our faculty and youth performance groups create unique, professional performances aimed at bridging generational and cultural gaps while celebrating the collective potential of all people.
