The Owlrey

Bizarre Bazaar was not your typical yard sale. The event brought together spoken word poetry, barbershop singing, live music and fire dancing in the spirit of back yard camaraderie. Friends, neighbors and strangers alike bonded over refreshments and entertainment for eight straight hours on a beautiful summer's day to support The Heroes.

“Truly powerful. Brims with smart dialogue, true-to-life vibrant empathetic characters, by turns hilarious and intensely moving. Part of the irresistible magnetism & charm of BAGGAGE CLAIM is its greenness & sheer originality as a theatre production, both as a piece of writing & performance.” - A comment by Audrey on The Stranger blog.

“So much fun!”

seattle sometimes feels like a city of transplants.  natives are few and far between, especially in the arts world.  the theme of this reading asks participants (some native to the art of writing, some not) to consider how they relate to place, both locally and beyond.  am i texan because i was born and raised there?  am i a seattleite because i live here now?  in what ways am i both?  in what ways am i neither?

Jewelbox Theater at Rendezvous

There is a dynamic relationship between the body and the arts: the body as inspiration, symbol and as a medium. But in spite of this concentration, artists don’t often prioritize the needs of their own body which are oftentimes subject to the rigors of their art. Artist and massage therapist, Rye Russell will guide students through this one-time-only workshop that enables artists to better serve their bodies. The workshop includes a survey of different muscles and how to touch them, self-massage, couples massage, how to incorporate household objects into your massage routine, and more.
