It's amazing to think that the holiday season is already upon us!
The autumn has been a time of regrouping and looking to the future for Pendulum. We have welcomed new company members, started to plan a tour for High Art, and appeared at some beautiful events in Portland, including supporting two great organizations: Work for Art and our season sponsors, The Benson Hotel.

Pendulum enjoyed appearing outdoors in Pioneer Square once again with Work for Art in support of the Standard's Volunteer Expo. We had the opportunity to embody characters from Avatar for an event sponsored by the University of Southern California. And helped our season sponsors, The Benson Hotel, celebrate the renovations of their exquisite Crystal Ballroom.
