THEATER

The Lineup Interviews with Three Individuals Involved in Intiman’s Insane Summer Season

Intiman Theatre, which abruptly collapsed in 2011, is in the middle of producing a thrilling high-wire act of a summer festival to save itself: Four plays at once, with a small group of actors playing roles in multiple shows simultaneously. For more about the shows—Hedda Gabler, Romeo and Juliet, Dirty Story, and Miracle!, a drag-show version of the life of Helen Keller created by Dan Savage—see the theater calendar on page 26.

Questions by Brendan Kiley Portraits by Kelly O

Ryan Fields actor, firefighter

Andrew Russell

artistic director

Hannah Victoria Franklin actor

You’re 29. Aren’t you a bit young to be the artistic director of a Tony Award–winning theater?

I don’t know! [Starts to say something sarcastic, then stops himself.] I should take this more seriously. The plan was to curate a four-play festival from this group of people—some of them seasoned, some not at all seasoned.

Are you intimidated by this prospect?

It doesn’t feel outside of my grasp—yet. Our motto here is “It’s just theater. Let’s make it good. But it’s just theater, and the world will keep spinning.”

Where are you from?

Born, bred, and buttered in West Lafayette, Indiana.

How did you get into this high-profile predicament?

The theater closed in April, and I proposed this festival to the board. They said yes, but first we had to complete a successful fundraising campaign. It was like: “Congratulations! Your vision is great, and now we have to raise a million dollars! Your job is contingent on raising the funds for your own salary! Let’s do it!” It’s an experiment.

In retrospect, that sounds bananas…

“In retrospect”? You’re only 29 and you sound like a grandpa.

It sounds like “retrospect” wisdom because there’s been so much trauma in the past year. So, yes, I feel like I’m 80 years old.

Why did you decide to try and save Intiman when so many older, more seasoned people had walked away?

I can’t speak for others, but I thought, “I see a possibility here.” I saw there were so many people in this community who were an ornery and agitated bunch—that was so exciting to me. And I’m a stubborn and relentless human being. Q

You’re acting in three of the four shows. Are you losing your mind?

It’s pretty wild, that’s for sure. Most days, you rehearse for two shows a day, occasionally three. It’s extremely complicated, and the stage management here is amazing.

How are you memorizing lines for three shows at a time?

The lines aren’t as complicated as the mind-set—you get immersed in one entire world, then take a fiveminute break, and you’re in a different world. One moment, you’re mining the depths of your soul [for Hedda Gabler], and the next moment, you’re in a clown outfit and high heels dancing to Diana Ross [for Miracle!].

Where are you from?

I’m from Colorado—I’m a mountain kid. I was not a great student in high school, and in community college I realized, “Oh no, it’s gonna be theater!” But I boarded that train 11 years ago, and it just picked me up and took off—it’s like I joined the circus.

What’s it like being directed by Dan Savage in a drag musical about Helen Keller?

[Laughs] Dan and I have some similarities in that we’re both really sensitive, loving people in our hearts but outwardly very provocative. You can tell that he cares about people, even when he’s making fun of them.

What’s the best-case scenario for this insanely ambitious project?

Like any theater project—that people connect to their own humanity in a big, public place with lots of other people sitting around them.

Worst case?

I fall flat on my fucking face in high heels during a drag number. Q

Wait, you’re a firefighter?

I’ve been a firefighter for 10 years. I started testing when I was 18: written tests, physicals, psych tests. It’s similar to acting—you have a run of auditions. But my dad is a firefighter; my brother is a firefighter. So I knew sort of what the job entailed.

How did you get into theater?

I grew up in the South End of Seattle, Columbia City.

I went to Franklin and in my senior year to Roosevelt. I took some acting classes in high school and after that went to Freehold. I found some instructors I really liked [Charles Waxberg, Amy Thone] and took some private classes. I’ve been going out and auditioning since I was about 26, nine years or so. But I have kids, so it’s a fine balance. I have a 6-year-old, a 3-year-old, and a 6-weekold. I don’t want to be in rehearsal and missing out on their lives.

How much sleep are you getting these days?

Some nights, five hours. Some nights, if I’m working at the fire station until 8 a.m. and have rehearsal at 10 a.m., I don’t really sleep at all.

You’re in Hedda Gabler and Romeo and Juliet. How do you keep all that straight?

It’s tricky. I’ll get home from rehearsal, put the kids to sleep, say good night, then go down in the basement and look at the script and run lines and think about the history of these characters. Then I wake up in the morning and do another—I alternate.

How’s your wife dealing with all this craziness?

My wife is very patient. Very patient—and very busy. Q These interviews have been edited and condensed.

POETRY

Aphorisms 116 and 92

A Critique of What Jesus Is Wearing in Dalmasio Scannabecchi’s The Flagellation

By James Richardson

A knot is strings getting in each other’s way.

What keeps us together is what keeps us apart.

Dalmasio Scannabecchi’s The Flagellation—up all summer at Seattle Art Museum—presents a stark reminder from our darkest past. Back when those dowdy lace-up booties were absolutely everywhere: Christ’s assailants do well in tripping our paths, clogging our eyes, and fitting modest-cut, scoop-neck frocks with so ridiculously slinky—as if one’s feet had been elasticized waistbands, and caredipped into a tub of leather batter. ful accessorizing transforms each style, expressing individuality.

The boutique wants you to think you’re collecting, the discounter that you’re stealing.

James Richardson’s sixth collection of poetry, By the Numbers, was published

by Copper Canyon Press in 2010. He teaches at Princeton University.

What Are All Those Things in It?

his box of sharp metal tools belongs to Joel Radcliffe, a master bookbinder who recently made a new cover and spine for an old book out of genuine python hide. His shop, Ars Obscura, shoved into the basement corner of the Grand Central Arcade in Pioneer Square, is dimly lit and lightly covered in wooden shavings, paper scraps, and bits of ancient leather.

Ars Obscura offers a wide range of services: creating blank journals from scratch, crafting props for movie and theater sets, building archival boxes for old texts. But the staff prefers restoration; they’re currently repairing rare books from 1704 and 1716. They’re the last remaining bookbinders in Seattle to create, preserve, and restore books by hand.

But Radcliffe, who’s been doing this for 37 years, says, “We don’t try to be everything to everyone anymore. We can’t solve everyone’s cockamamie designs.” He recently turned down a project involving wood and metal: Those materials just aren’t his thing. The main focus—and challenge—for Ars Obscura’s restorations is to match the tone and color of a book’s existing ancient covering. “We try to work invisibly,” Radcliffe says. “It’s 95 percent preserving the original flavor.” Q

CHARLES MUDEDE REVIEWS JUPITER

(That’s a Photo, Not a Painting)

J

upiter is, to our eyes, a stunning symphony of folds—white clouds folding brown clouds, brown clouds folding blue clouds, light blue clouds folding dark blue clouds. What kind of beauty is this? And why is it able to stir the deepest parts of our souls?

Essentially, we are impressed by a world that is totally inhuman, unlivable, unthinkable. This confusion of clouds is alive in the deadest sense possible. It’s matter behaving only as matter. Matter violently thrown this way and that by spin, wind, and pressure. Even our extremophiles (microbes that live in the

most acidic, hottest, and coldest parts of Earth) would call Jupiter a living hell.

But it’s precisely Jupiter’s thoughtless hugeness that protects our thoughtful, music-making planet. Jupiter is big and dumb; Earth is small, delicate, and intelligent. The layer of life on our planet is not deep and is vulnerable. Sixty-five mil-

(This was lucky for us; mammals would still be small and hiding in the night if the dinosaurs were not exterminated by that asteroid.) But, as the UW professor Peter Ward points out in his book Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe, hits by comets and asteroids would be more common if we did not have Jupiter protecting us. Jupiter’s huge size and powerful gravity draw and deflect these life-threatening balls of ice.

The Most Fascinating Artists in the City Are…

or the 10th anniversary of the Genius Awards, we’re doing something new: Everyone who’s already won a Genius Award will vote to select this year’s winners. You won’t just have to take our word for it anymore!

On the following pages, you will find the three finalists in each category: art, theater, literature, film, and music. These finalists have been selected by the critics at A&P and The Stranger, who spend the whole year looking at, listening to, and writing about the city’s cultural output. There is no application process, no paperwork—nothing except a bunch of people with strong opinions sitting around arguing about who’s making the most fascinating stuff right now. In our collective opinion, all of the artists on the shortlist this year deserve a Genius Award. Here, we explain why.

At the end of the summer, the League of Geniuses—every Genius Award winner so far—will cast their votes for this year’s fresh Geniuses by secret ballot. Geniuses will only vote in their own area of specialty. A&P and Stranger critics will vote as well. The winners will be revealed live at the Genius Awards party on September 22 at the Moore Theatre. Runners-up will leave with ridiculously lavish gift packages, and five newly crowned Geniuses will each get a check for $5,000, as well as a giant, disgusting cake.

ince 2008, Sarah Bergmann has quietly been building what may be the largest art installation in Seattle history.

The Pollinator Pathway spans a mile of Columbia Street, from Seattle University to Nora’s Woods. It’s a series of gardens—when finished, there will be 60—in parking strips that are providing pollinating insects with a new thruway, biologically reconnecting two areas of the city.

Pathway is a microcosmic urban solution to the global megaproblem of pollinator decline (particularly colony collapse in honeybees that help provide most of our nongrain foods). It’s also a landscape painting made with the broadest brush Bergmann could devise.

She stopped painting, moved to New York, and found herself at an environmental ad agency working with, of all companies, Walmart, causing her to read up on distribution systems and pollinator decline. Walking in Manhattan one day, a bird suddenly fell at her feet. Migration, pollination, it all came together: She needed to create a project in her green home city of Seattle, where her mother had once selected her preschool according to how many plant species grew along the walk.

Tiny yellow “road” signs (for insects and bees to read!) dot the Pathway gardens if you kneel down to look. Bergmann hustles for grants, works mostly for free, and collaborates with property owners, botanists, beekeepers, and urban planners.

Rock is one of Dan Webb’s latest sculptures (going on view in August at Greg Kucera Gallery), and it embodies the reason he began carving back in 1990, during his final year at Cornish: “It just seemed badass.”

At Seattle Art Museum, a local art historian was fooled into believing that Webb’s carved Shroud was actually fabric. Another of Webb’s pieces, Little Cuts, is a series of photographs he took as he carved a head, then whittled it away to sawdust. At the end of the row of photographs sits a Plexiglas box containing the dust. Webb made Little Cuts

he unseen history of Amanda Manitach’s ecstatic drawings and videos is her actual experience crawling, crying out, and rolling around on the floors of the neocharismatic churches of her Texas childhood while her father preached.

Tongues were spoken. Humans barked, roared, and hissed. There was hysteria, and it was called good—as opposed to the symptoms of the 19th-century “women’s condition” that Manitach later came to love and also to imbue into her art. Using just pencil on paper, she summons writhing visions of wadded-up fabric that appear to have been exorcised of some wild force. Or florid, syphilitic labia. Her videos might picture her mashing her foot into a stiletto that already contains a pool of bruise-blue paint and a piece of soaked bread. Or masturbating. (You

see the ceiling she saw, then an electric shade of green that flashed on the screen when she dropped the iPhone to the ground.)

Manitach is an atheist. “Christianity is so silly and so erotic and so infantile,” she says; some of her favorite images are from the sexy crucifixion scenes in Jesus of Nazareth, the campy 1977 TV miniseries. (“When the body of Christ was autopsied, there was found one wandering uterus that had moored itself in the chest cavity, near

He’d decided to become an artist at the age of 16, when he saw a picture of Robert Rauschenberg’s late-1950s sculpture Monogram, a taxidermied goat wearing a rubber tire and standing atop a painted/collaged surface. He’d always made things, but, he says, “this was something you could enter on multiple levels.” What was missing from the late-20th-century art he was studying “was making something that was astounding, that was just fucking awesome.” Something intellectual, but pre-intellectual. As Webb likes to say, “Before art, there was carving.”

Goldston’s vision of music is vast, which is why her gigs range from ceremonial (Krugman) to Latin rock (El Pegaso) to drone doom (Earth). “I’m extremely, pretty radically undogmatic,” she says. “I’m from the suburbs—the town on Long Island next to Levittown” (the firstever mass-produced bedroom community).

“I really have an idea that it’s not good for things to be hemmed in.”

Even the pet rabbit in her Ballard home is sitting outside its cage rather than inside it. In conversation, Goldston is highly distractable. Restlessness is a great quality for a musician, maybe an inherently musical quality. As a kid, Goldston studied every form of music she could find: chorus, orchestra, band, jazz band, cello and guitar lessons. She dropped out of Bennington College after studying music for a couple years (“restless”), and in 1986, came to Seattle to

When Master Musicians of Bukkake siphon influences from other cultures’ sonic vernaculars, the results are sublime and arcane. never to take themselves too seriously.

Over the last seven years, MMOB have been assimilating elements from northern African trance music, Indonesian gamelan, Tibetan monk rituals, and krautrock to form a

distinctive brand of global-music subversion.

Live, MMOB favor unpredictability, dramatic lighting, and dry ice. Dressed in medieval clergymen robes and beekeeper headgear, MMOB strive to remove “self from the performance and make it an experience that transforms the space for us and the audience,” with the aim of sabotaging “the trappings of a standard rock band and the distracting focus of rampant individuality onstage,” explains keyboardist/producer Randall Dunn.

Thus swathed in mystery, MMOB let their music do the talking, in many exotic tongues.

MMOB have created a strange, uncompromising body of work that somehow appeals to heavy-metal fans, psych-rock aficionados, and avant-gardists. Their early days were marked by an undisciplined raucousness, but changes in personnel and a shift in priorities spearheaded by Dunn have resulted in a core group of players whose dexterity and diversity match their adventurousness.

Their most recent project is a trilogy called Totem, which is alternately eerie, euphoric, psychedelic, and grave—sometimes terrifying, sometimes spiritually uplifting, always intriguing. Their next two albums— an all-synthesizer opus and an all-acoustic, Popol Vuh–like work—could be their most genius moves yet. DAVE SEGAL

Their debut, Snow Motion, expressed a gift for making beats that were low-tech but catchy, funky but without any reliance on

traditional song structures or hooks. There is never a beginning, chorus, middle, chorus, end in their work. With THEESatisfaction, you enter a track in the middle and leave in the middle.

“Everything we put out is about progression. That’s what matters to us—getting better at what we do,” explains Stasia Irons, sitting next to her collaborator, Catherine Harris-White. “When we started, we didn’t know anything about music, about computer programs—nothing. So when we made a track, it was like: What can we do at this time? What can we make with what we know and what we got? And as we got

True, the records have different production values (awE sounds bigger and fuller), but they share the same experimental, lyrical, and melodic brilliance. If you have any doubts about their genius, then check out the video for “QueenS.” As with the track, it begins somewhere in the middle of an amazing party. CHARLES MUDEDE

Kary Wayson

During the War I lived in two houses, one apartment, took notes on a cocktail napkin and a record store receipt my salary almost covered. I abandoned my longing to be more serious, and grew out my hair.

Summer, I shaved to bury my mother, mourned a full season on the couch, television bright across shag carpet.

Ellen Forney

The train I rode around America was empty; the country was half-empty, like the zoo on Monday. I wept at the president, threatened to barefoot across the border, but in the end only rolled down the window to wave at a stranger who looked familiar.

More of the Same But even with my mouth on your thigh I want my mouth on your thigh.

At the center bite of bread I want the whole loaf toasted, and an orange. On a sunny day I want more sun, more skin for the weather.

I’m in Seattle wishing for Seattle, for this walk along the water, for her hand while I hold it: I want to tie my wrist to a red balloon.

I’m counting my tips.

I’m counting the tips I could have made.

I want the television on, the television off.

In the ocean, I want to float an inch above it and when my father finally held me like a stripe of seaweed over his wet arm, I was kicking to get away, wishing he’d hold me like he held me while I was kicking away. Listen to me.

I want to leave when I’m walking out the door.

Ellen Forney

C

hances are, you’ve encountered Ellen Forney’s cartoons in The Stranger.

For years, she’s published how-to cartoons, illustrated sexy Stranger reader personal ads, and drawn covers for the paper. (Much of that work has been collected in two books from Fantagraphics: I Love Led Zeppelin and Lust.) With the possible exception of Stranger Literature Genius Jim Woodring, Forney is the best cartoonist in Seattle. Her curvy, self-assured line work is deceptively simple, and her fastidiously designed page layouts are easier to read than to not read: Each page of Forney’s cartoons has been intentionally crafted to suck your eyes in at the top left corner and release them, sated, at the bottom right.

For the last four years, Forney has been at work on a sustained narrative completely unlike anything she’s ever done before. (“The last year in particular was like running a marathon,” she says.) The resulting book, a graphic memoir called Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me, is the kind of transformative work that changes an artist’s career forever.

Marbles is the shockingly honest story of Forney’s life with bipolar disorder. It’s a massive leap in form and content from her other work. The relationship between the pictures and words has changed—at times, the pages look less like comics and more like handwritten illuminated manuscripts. As

Forney demonstrates the manic ups and terrible downs of her mind, she also investigates some deeper questions: How much of her art (and the art of hundreds of other geniuses through history) is wrapped up in being bipolar? It’s completely unlike any other book on mental illness you’ve ever read. PAUL CONSTANT

Ed Skoog

Y

ou can’t swing a stick at a Seattle-area reading without hitting Ed Skoog.

Partly, that’s because he takes up space—he’s a broad, tall man who changes the weather patterns in a room just by sitting quietly. But mostly, it’s because he’s everywhere: in the audience of events celebrating local writers, attending readings by visiting poets, teaching writing classes over booze and ice cream at Hugo House, or headlining the APRIL Lit Crawl with a cheap-beer-soaked reading in a parking garage. The Seattle literary community without Skoog is an unthinkable thing.

Does he ever worry about overexposure?

He shrugs. “Everything seems interesting, especially in the last couple of years,” he says. Seattle’s literary community “has shown a remarkable level of intensity and vitality,” creating lots of “exciting and valuable” work. But this kind of vibrant community, he says, is “fragile—it probably will disappear, and I don’t want to miss it.”

This frenetic availability is at odds with what Skoog believes to be the duties of a poet. “Poetry works because of its silence and its reserve as much as its exuberance,” he says. “What happens before the poem and what happens after the poem” is as important as the contents of a poem, and the poetry that he chooses not to write is just as important as the books he publishes.

This restraint produces razor-sharp, lucid work that is at once stately and striking. His debut collection, 2009’s Mister Skylight, feels full of novels, about the death of a parent, about drinking, about repurposed asylums, about home and leaving home: “My last look around the house,” he writes in “Season Finale,” “took so long that the vine/climbing the rosebush climbed/into my eyes.” Such potent imagery is shoehorned into three and a half lines; then there’s that double “climb,” at the beginning and end of the third line, giving an impression of difficult but inexorable progress, of rising. Just imagine all the words that aren’t there. PAUL CONSTANT

Kary Wayson

K

ary Wayson leads a double life. Even though she’s won a Pushcart Prize, appeared in Best American Poetry 2007, and published a debut collection of poems in 2009 called American Husband, “I’m very much a waitress named Kary,” she says. “Many people have no idea

that I write poems.” She doesn’t fully occupy the restaurant world because she’s not very social, and she isn’t a part of the literary scene because, since age 17, she’s spent her nights waiting tables.

Her work, too, is riddled with doubles.

Her favorite rhythm is two syllables, or pairs of double syllables: “But I myself/will by myself/beside myself/be sitting—right/where she should be—” she writes in a recent poem, referring to a “daughter,” a word that appears again and again in her poems, even though Wayson doesn’t have one. “I guess I was also the mother to my mother,” she said the other day, when we were talking about her life so far. Her mother was in and out of psychiatric hospitals when Wayson was little, and divorced by the time Wayson was 5. She and her mother no longer speak, even though they look exactly alike, and Wayson sometimes runs into her mother’s twin, who lives nearby.

Wayson’s main subject—filial anxiety— makes her do a lot of second-guessing. She called her dad when she was chosen for Best American Poetry 2007, then called back to ask him if she should pull the selected poem because it calls him a “bitch.” Plus, there’s the whole second life of sorts that came with her recent decision to date men after 20 years of dating women. In a new poem, she writes: “It’s new to be beautiful/and boring.

It’s like counting to two/and turning around/ and counting to two again.” CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE SUMMER 2012

Theater SHORTLIST Keri Healey

O

ver the years, playwright Keri Healey has written extraordinarily funny and extraordinarily frank comedies—with sharp doses of tragedy—that have been rejected by regional theaters across America, mostly because of their sexual content. Artistic and literary directors who read the first 10 pages tend to love them and ask for more, Healey said in an interview a few weeks ago. But they balk when they get the whole thing, saying stuff like “I’m not sure our audiences are ready for this.” (Confidential to regional theaters: That attitude is part of what’s killing you.)

This March, Seattle audiences got to watch Healey’s already prodigious gifts as a writer take a jet-fueled leap forward with her play Torso. One part of it was loosely based on a real-life murder between siblings she knew growing up.

Grady West Zoe Scofield

Keri Healey pulled the magical trick of turning people into monsters and back into people again.

The other part involved a woman (loosely based on herself) spending a night riding around with a taxi driver, trying to make sense of the murder while struggling with homicidal urges of her own.

With Torso, Healey pulled the magical trick of turning people into monsters and back into people again. There’s a word for that—empathy—but her depth of empathy, which informs all of her work, is rare in any writer. Midway through Torso, a sad-clown type of man walks into a living room, covered in blood, twitchily explaining how he’d just clumsily murdered his brother (over a relatively paltry sum of money). The man’s sister grabs a plastic kiddie pool and hoses him off while he talks. And while we recoil from him— covered in his brother’s blood, real Cain and Abel stuff— Healey carefully built the play so we genuinely feel bad for this dumb and pathetic murderer, slathered in gore. That is genius. BRENDAN KILEY

enius isn’t static. It grows, sometimes in slow-motion evolution and sometimes in violent fits and starts.

Watching the staged visions (and sometimes fever dreams) of dancer and choreographer Zoe Scofield in the past four years has been a revelation not only for the dance-watchers of Seattle, but for the world. Scofield and her partner, the designer Juniper Shuey, have disassembled dance and put it back together again, smashing together the rigidity of ballet with the innovations of modern dance and installation-style design.

They have caked their dancers in white makeup, drawn little red lines on their lips, coated them in gold leaf, projected images of them falling nude and in slow motion onto the stage, had them sit on chairs and bark at each other like dogs, and had them draw rough silhouettes of each other on

rady West is a tall, handsome, quiet guy with a friendly smile and a great eye for art (his collection of paintings, some piled up along the walls of his home, is legendary). But the reason he’s on this list is Dina Martina, the explosively gauche drag persona West has been channeling onstage for the past 20 years. For those who do not know, Dina Martina is a singer who cannot sing, a dancer who cannot dance, and an absolutely atrocious thing to behold—bulging out of spandex with labia barely restrained, her face vandalized with makeup, sometimes with a Tootsie Pop tangled in her hair, Dina is an aggressive atrocity. But from all this failure and ugliness, West makes deep, weird, and profoundly hilarious art.

Describing Dina Martina to those who haven’t seen her is a challenge. “She’s brilliantly terrible!” only does so much.

West’s influences range from Divine and the Andy Warhol superstars to wet dogs and panhandlers, but he assembles these elements into razor-sharp satire.

If contemporary ballet companies had any sense, they’d be staging works by Zoe | Juniper (their company name) alongside oldsters like George Balanchine and mid-career guys like Benjamin Millepied.

Their latest work, A Crack in Everything, is based on the old Greek Oresteia plays (about violence and vengeance in one family, and how one bloody cause leads to many bloody effects) and was developed at residencies around the world, from Hungary to New Zealand to the prestigious MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire. The rest of the world is waking up to the visionary talents of Scofield and Shuey. BRENDAN KILEY DAVID BELISLE

Film SHORTLIST Drew Christie

I

t’s been a very good year for the local animator and filmmaker Drew Christie. In January, his short film Song of the Spindle screened at Sundance, the most prestigious film festival in the United States. On top of that, the short—which is about a whale discoursing with a human—caught the attention of the New York Times. “I got an e-mail from one of the programmers at Sundance,” explains Christie, “and it said that the guys [at the Times] had started a project called Op-Docs.

This program was new—it started in November 2011 and partnered with Sundance and other film organizations…” When the New York Times posted his funny, information-rich short Hi! I’m a Nutria—in which a Lake Washington nutria makes a defense for its kind and its habits—on March 18, 2012, Drew Christie’s career left the ground.

Christie’s work, which is always strange and surreal in a very smart and compelling way, has three basic components: visual art, cinema, and historical research.

Christie developed an interest in visual art while attending Skyline High School, where he found supportive teachers and time to learn the methods and modes of drawing. Credit for his development as a filmmaker goes to the Film School, which he attended 10 years ago while

beg you to look away, but Griffiths makes looking away impossible, thanks to her deep empathy and seriously intelligent storytelling. Much of Eden’s power comes from what we’re not shown but left to imagine, with audiences piecing together the facts of this horrifying world in time with our protagonist. The film is a masterful creation, engaging our deepest emotions without ever toeing the line of exploitation. Had Eden been made by an 80-year-old Scottish auteur, I’d sing its praises just as highly. That Eden was made by a woman who lives in our city is cause for celebration.

haun Scott’s 2009 documentary Seat of Empire is, in a sense, a failure. The sprawling 193-minute documentary about the history of Seattle isn’t a failure because it’s bad or because Scott lacks talent—it’s too ambitious, too massive, too much of everything. In another sense, it’s a great success, because Scott pulls off something new: blending the mixing art of a hiphop DJ with the narrative and visual intelligence of an experimental filmmaker. Empire looks like the work of a genius.

Same goes for Waste of Time, a documentary he completed in 2010. It concerns the history of consumer culture in Seattle, and it utilizes analytical tools and methods developed by the Frankfurt School to examine the foundations of a society that has no sense of the past or idea of the future, but only the present and its wants—more food, new home, new car. Scott, yes, is an intellectual.

Scott was born in Queens, New York, and raised here in Shoreline. He discovered his love for film while attending the University of Washington, where he was studying

irector Megan Griffiths got plenty of love for her previous feature film, The Off Hours, a slow, moody, gorgeously shot portrait of life during the late shift at a roadside diner. The film premiered at Sundance 2011, toured the global festival circuit, earned Benjamin Kasulke an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his cinematography, and won Griffiths the award for best director at the Ourense Film Festival in Spain.

But nothing in The Off Hours can prepare viewers for what Griffiths achieves in her latest film, Eden, which premiered at this year’s South by Southwest before screening at the recent Seattle International Film Festival. Drawing on the true story of a perfectly normal American girl who is kidnapped and imprisoned in a sex-trafficking ring, Eden takes viewers deep into the minutiae (second-to-second, day-to-day, year-to-year) of the child sex trade. The 90-minute film navigates plot points so fundamentally horrifying, they

Megan Griffiths’s Eden is so fundamentally horrifying, it begs you to look away, but she makes looking away impossible.

Shaun Scott

Shaun Scott pulls off something new: blending the mixing art of a hiphop DJ with the narrative and visual intelligence of an experimental filmmaker. history. “When I turned 24, I decided to devote my life to making feature films, even if that meant competing with people who were 15, 20, 25 years older than me in the formative stages of my career,” he says. “The field is deep, but I think my focus will set me apart. I’m 27 now, and what you see when you sit back and look at my body of work to date is someone who is preoccupied with time. That explains the pairing of contemporary music with older imagery in Waste of Time; explains the use of jump cuts and archival footage in my first narrative, 100% OFF; and explains my newest project, Pacific Aggression, which is a meditation on loneliness in the age of e-interconnectedness, in the form of a road movie about a travel writer.”

Scott’s time is now. CHARLES MUDEDE SUMMER 2012

Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art (through Sept 2) is a buzzing, glorious world full of dazzling visions that date back to the 1960sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but extend from the oldest known tradition of artmaking on the planet. The exhibitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 120 paintings, sculptures, and a funerary installation are laid out geographically as the sun rises and sets: you begin with aboriginal artists from the east of what is now called Australia and move west. There are desert rooms and water rooms. Many of the art works are meditative, a few record historical horrors, and all express identities based in the land itself, where the ancestors remain.

After the Martini Shot by Mika Tajima (through July 17) includes valuable paintings borrowed from SAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection and stashed into storage racks like so much surplus inventory. The show was inspired by two events: the invention of the cubicle and the collapse of Washington Mutual, the bank that once lived right upstairs from SAM, sharing the same skyscraping tower.

The permanent collection. In October, a large exhibition of female modern and contemporary artists comes to SAM from the Centre Pompidou in Paris. At some point before thenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the museum has not announced when just yetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the works by men in the permanent collections from those periods will be put in storage, replaced by an all-female lineup. Look for the changeover.

Outside In/Inside Out: The Inner Life of Jack (June 22-Aug 17): On the 50th anniversary of the Jack Straw Foundation, Seattle artist Ellen Sollod transforms the gallery into a camera obscura, “bringing the outside world passing by in real time on to the gallery’s walls, only upside down and backwards.” With an accompanying sound score by Johanna Melamed.

It’s time for another changeup at Lawrimore Project, but at press time, Scott Lawrimore would only say that the current exhibition, Can’t Get There From Here (through June 30) will be the final show in the gallery’s current space in Occidental Square—and that an announcement about the future will come out in mid-July. “I wish I could tell you more,” he said.

“Because it’s really awesome.”

We shall look into the level of awesomeness as soon as we are able. Until then don’t miss Can’t Get There From Here, a group show set in the tall, glowing white gallery that seems like a chamber of heaven. The artists probe what you want from art: transcendence? Transport? Three large photographs are anchors: A sublime sky over Nevada by Richard Misrach, displayed high like an altarpiece; a portrait of prehistoric underwater life taken at a natural history museum and printed in romanticizing black and white by Hiroshi Sugimoto; and what looks like a field of fog but is glass with potato-chip oil smeared on it by Isaac Layman.

Enter the women: Britta Johnson’s wax tomb videos, Amanda Manitach’s ecstatic folds and deferred orgasms, and Serrah Russell’s National Geographic pictures laid on real landscapes.

Jack Straw’s 50th Anniversary Event (June 15-16) is 25 straight hours of music (by everyone from Stranger Genius Award finalist Lori Goldston, whose profile is on page 13, to the Seattle Baroque Soloists), literary readings (by everyone from Doug Nufer to The Stranger’s David Schmader and Riz Rollins), and other kinds of performance—all free and open to the public at all hours.

Everyone knew him, and everyone who knew him, loved him. He seemed to have so many years ahead of painting the streets, the grids, the precise forms of this place, just as they were. This is a memorial exhibition (Aug 2-Sept 1), something like a museum event, with some paintings still available but some borrowed from their grateful owners.

We believe every project tells a story, let us help you tell yours.

All of Soly CissĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juicy, confident, expressionistic paintings (through June 30) begin with a black background. Growing up in Dakar, Senegal, his father was an X-ray doctor, and the young artist made his first paintings by attempting to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixâ&#x20AC;? the broken bones he saw in the dark X-ray films. Later, his teachers told him the rulesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including that certain colors were not African, particularly pink. Pink, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice, is a dominant color in his work. Lost Worlds, his first exhibition in the United States, is an arresting array of humans intermingling with other animals against backgrounds of hectic color, graffitilike text, and esoteric numerical codes.

Occupy M.I.A (Aug 2-Sept 2) is a group show co-curated with Seattle history remixer/filmmaker Shaun Scott (a finalist for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stranger Genius Award; read his profile on page 19).

The exhibition will feature local photographers on the theme of social activism.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant to bring attention to Suyama Spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history as a home to mechanics, and as part of Denny Regrade, which is easily forgotten but right there in the different levels of floors between the entrance and the gallery.

The first weekend, SEAF will be a central part of the Fremont Fair, which is when everyone already takes off their clothes and rides around on bikes, and the second weekend of SEAF coincides with Seattle Pride. DAMN! The 2012 visual art jurors are Dan Savage, Ellen Forney, Daniel McGlothlen, Jim Duvall, and Mistress Matisse.

The Project Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big summer topic (the venue tackles a topic a season, rather than limiting itself to an artist or a type of art), Susie Lee has devised this â&#x20AC;&#x153;speed dating eventâ&#x20AC;? for artists and technology workers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to investigate the nature of problem solving across different fields.â&#x20AC;? On the first date in June, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sit across a table from one another and try to figure out where the hell the other person is coming from.

On the second date in July, the whole group will identify problems that need attention and energy, and reflect on solutions.

That night is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dinner and a Movie?â&#x20AC;? There will be chaperones, who will will be eavesdropping and live-Tweeting.

JULY 26-29 The Long Walk For the third year in a row, artist Susan Robb will lead 50 walkers more than 40 miles over four days, from the city of Seattle (this time, starting at Golden Gardens Park) out to the falls of Snoqualmie. Along the way, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see new sides to King County, camp in parks, celebrate with a formal dinner, and experience interactive artworks. Then, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll jump in a car and it will take 40 minutes to get home. The experience of the Long Walk is an experience in stretching time into space. Very recommended (and prepare for blisters). If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to walk but want to witness the spectacle, The MidPoint Mash-Up celebration will be held at McCormick Park in Duvall on July 27.

Ostad Hossein Omoumi is a Persian classical music master (he performs on the iÞ, the traditional reed flute); he was born in Iran in 1944 and has performed all over the world. He’s now based at UC Irvine, but he’s worked in Seattle before, and one of his students here is the remarkable independent vocalist Jessika Kenney. They’ll be joined in music and poetry by Iranian writer/scholar Fatemeh Keshavarz. It’s the culmination of a four-day Classical Persian Music & Poetry summer workshop at Cornish that’s open to anyone (www.cornish.edu/summer/ courses/classical_persian_music_poetry).

test, just doesn’t want to get married. Did Puccini ever think of that? Hmm? She could have been the Queen Elizabeth of her day! Okay, that’s another story. In this classic opera, based on a story by the Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi and left unfinished

by Puccini when he died in 1924, Turandot’s cold heart is warmed by the nobility of a slave girl.

Though the piece is popular, it hasn’t been staged at Seattle Opera since 1996, when Jane Eaglen sang it. This new production (also touring to Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Ohio) is the Seattle debut of Quebecois director/designer team Renaud Doucet and André Barbe. In photographs, their version looks like a spectacular fairy tale. Expect bright colors, gongs, racially questionable mustaches, and bleeding, screaming, freshly decapitated heads.

Antama (June 29–30, July 1): The Esoterics are a thrilling a cappella group that does just what their name promises: They perform music you haven’t heard elsewhere, and aren’t likely to. Led by Eric Banks, this early summer concert is a series of works on the theme of community by lesbian and gay composers, including David Conte, Frank Ferko, Robert Kyr, Steven Sametz, Donald Skirvin, Joan Szymko, and Karen Thomas.

FESTIVALS Seattle Chamber Music Society Summer Festival (July 2–29, www.seattlechambermusic. org): Animating Benaroya Hall during its quiet summer months, this is a total feast of chamber music, with 26 concerts in 27 days focusing on beloved repertoire by composers from Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and Bartok to Mendelssohn, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky. There are new works, too (the world premiere of Gary Kulesha’s Quartet for Piano and Strings happens July 20), family concerts, and a free evening concert at Volunteer Park (July 25, featuring Dvorak’s Sextet for Strings in A Major, and Tchaikovsky’s summery - ÕÛi ÀÊ`iÊ Ài Vi) that’s preceded by a musical instrument “petting zoo.” Pet a cello.

There are seven concerts, led by artistic director Michael Palmer, and including the soloists Joshua Bell and Lynn Harrell.

Marrowstone Music Festival (July 22–Aug 5, www.marrowstone.syso.org): Some 200 aspiring professional musicians aged 13 to 25 come to Bellingham every summer from all over the world.

Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival (Aug 10–25, www.oicmf.org): This 15th-season lineup is 16 days of concerts in settings ranging from private homes to village greens. Mezzo soprano Frederica von Stade is expected to perform “art songs from ‘La Vie en Rose’ to ‘Send in the Clowns.’”

SOME OF THAT JAZZ

What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Most Looking Forward to This Season

by Charles Mudede SAT 6/30 Thomas Marriott Quartet Thomas Marriott is a prolific local jazz trumpeter who has won several awards and has the deceptive ability to make his artâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an art he has carefully crafted over many years and that is technically demandingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sound so easy. His mastery of the instrument has nearly removed all signs of effort.

All you hear is a beam of sound that seems as natural as a breeze on the surface of a pond. For an introduction to his world, I recommend his CD Human Spirit.

SUN 7/22 Ron Weinstein Trio Weinstein, a local pianist, is a perfect fit for Vitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a First Hill venue that cultivates a specific mode and moodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;jazz melancholy, after-hours blues, worldweary dandyism. When Weinstein plays, he really goes for the soul, goes to the bottom of things, but not in a rootsy or earthy way.

This is music for the type of souls who are sad when walking down a busy city street but soon bored when hiking in the woods.

Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange that Ravi Coltrane picked up the instrument (saxophone) his father dominated and revolutionized. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also strange (in the ghostly sense) that he sometimes does sound just like his father, particularly on the more strained or stretched notes.

Yes, much in Ravi Coltraneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music and mode (which is deeply intellectual) can be attributed to himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; his own development, life, and geniusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but there does appear to be a gene in the Coltrane family for the mastery of the saxophone.

ALL THAT JAZZ DIMITRIOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JAZZ ALLEY This is the place to hear national and international jazz acts nearly every night of the week. If you live in Seattle and have not heard of Jazz Alley, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible you have never heard of jazz music.

Tulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Jazz Alley are downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main jazz planets.

Indeed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to tell if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a club or a school, and this confusion is meaningful because the original place for a jazz education was not a school like Cornish but a club like Eganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Jazz and blues happen here from Tuesdays to Saturdays.

strength of its ideas—sounds an awful lot like the future to me. Other publishers would pigeonhole novels into literary, horror, or science fiction categories; at Small Beer, they’re just good. (It probably helps that Link is an excellent writer of short weird fiction in her own right.) This is a rare and welcome opportunity to look behind the scenes of one of the best publishers in the nation today.

Samuel Popkin Right around now, you should start panicking about the 2012 elections. As we head down the stretch into fall and the general election on November 6, it’s time to consider the United States with President Mitt Romney at the helm. Samuel Popkin is a political science expert with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of presidential campaigns. He’s maybe the closest thing we have to a crystal ball when it comes to politics, and his new book, The Candidate: What It Takes to Win and Hold the White House, is the accumulated storehouse of all his knowledge.

THURS 6/28 Chloe Caldwell and Diana Salier Cheryl Strayed calls Caldwell’s collection of essays, Legs Get Led Astray, “a scorching hot glitter box of youthful despair and dark delight.” Topics include love, books, and babysitting. Salier is a poet whose first collection, Letters from Robots, walks a fine line between confessional poetry and fun old science fiction novels. She’s a splendid reader of her own work.

It’s sure to be funny and involving and packed with the kind of brilliant writing that makes Walter one of the best writers at work in Washington State today.

His newest book, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, studies Camden, New Jersey, the poorest city in the United States. Hedges examines the ties between poverty, education, and crime (Camden’s high schools are currently barely functioning at a mind-boggling 70 percent dropout rate). Days of Destruction is a book that’s coming out just in time, addressing a problem that the United States, whether through Occupy or the Tea Party, has been arguing about.

MON 7/9 Joe Meno, Nathan Larson, Ryan Boudinot Office Girl might be Joe Meno’s breakthrough novel. Set in 1999, Office Girl tells the story of a pair of young, intelligent drifters who decide to start their own art movement. It’s a stripped-down experience of a novel (press materials promise no politics, war, or economic collapses happen during the course of the book), which means Meno’s crystalline prose has a chance to shine. Larsen’s The Nervous System is the exact opposite of Office Girl—a loud, brash postapocalyptic novel about good guys and bad guys in a trashed New York City. Both authors read with local novelist-made-good Ryan Boudinot, who has experience with both quiet character pieces and noisy dystopian futures.

AUGUST 9-12 Doe Bay The fifth annual Doe Bay Fest (held on gorgeous Orcas Island) hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t announced its 2012 lineup by press time, but previous performers include the Head and the Heart, Damien Jurado, John Vanderslice, Ravenna Woods, and Pickwick. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for concerts to happen on the shore of the Puget Sound, in the middle of the forest, or around a campfire.
