Works by Amy Rice, "You May be Surprised at What You Grow to Love"

03 Nov 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Bluebottle Art Gallery
415 E Pine St
Seattle, WA 98122-2311
Ongoing through Sunday, November 29, 2009, 7pm

Beginning with not-so-traditional print making methods (hand cut stencils and a Japanese Gocco printmaking toy) Minneapolis based mixed-media artist Amy Rice makes original, one-of-kind pieces by additionally employing acrylic, gouache, ink and collage. Her canvases range from weathered wood panels and found objects to antique envelopes, age-worn love letters, and found journal pages yellowed with time. Rice draws inspiration for her work from childhood memories, both real and imagined (or just slightly exaggerated with time), the urban community in which she lives, vintage botanical prints, her dog Ella, bicycles, street art, gardening, random found objects, collective endeavors that challenge hierarchy, acts of compassion, downright silliness and things with wings.

Registration Details: Press Release, Rock the Terminal, Art Market, On November 7th from 6 PM until 10 PM an amazing arts event will be taking place at Art/Not Terminal Gallery (2045 Westlake Avenue). It 's not that there will be 30 artists there to show & sell their work. It's not that it includes a market place to find beautiful locally created art objects to take home & treasure. It's not even that there will be 4 bands, and a live entertainer, along with fantastic sweet & savory appetizers. What is amazing about this event is that it is bringing together arts organizations that are traditionally competitors. The sponsors include all four major art stores, (Artist & Craftsman Supply, Dakota Art Supply, Daniel Smith, and Utrecht). Also working with each other will be Cornish College of the Arts, and The Art Institute of Seattle. And finally two other galleries will be involved; Form/Space Atelier, and Halogen Gallery. This show was put together in record time. Work started after a board meeting on September 20, when it was brought to the board's attention that no artists had rented the SubT Space for the month of November. As work progressed on the event, it became more about the entire arts community, and less about a show to fill an empty space in a building. Every member of Art /Not Terminal Gallery has become involved in this community effort, an effort to create a supportive environment for all artists; students, emerging artists, and well established long time arts professionals. Become a part of this historic evening at Art/Not Terminal Gallery, where cooperation is not just a word, but a way of life., _______________________________________________________, Contact:, Zachary Sofia, President, Art/Not Terminal Board of Directors, 206-588-2918, zacksofia@hotmail.com, Liz Sheets, Secretary, Art/Not Terminal Board of Directors, 206-409-1574, lizartseattle@mac.com

Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard

ACT-A Contemporary Theatre
700 Union St
Seattle, WA 98101-2330
Saturday, November 7, 2009, 7:30pm

When the Soviet hammer falls on Prague Spring, Jan returns to his native city to rescue two things – socialism and his mother. His only luggage: a suitcase full of rock albums. This show won raves on Broadway, and it's no wonder – Stoppard's writing, like the best music, invigorates your mind along with your spirit. The relationship of self to state and of body to mind are just some of the ideas he explores, with help from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, and many others.

"Astounding, funny, wise and triumphant. Rock 'n' Roll renews your awareness that history is what happens while we live our day-to-day lives. I left the theater feeling elated." —New York Magazine

Full Description: Acclaimed author and historian Jack Nisbet turns his attention to the 19th century Scottish explorer and naturalist David Douglas in his new book, "The Collector: David Douglas and the Natural History of the Northwest." Douglas led a fascinating life that took him everywhere from New York to Hawaii, but he is best known for his groundbreaking observations of the Pacific Northwest. His discoveries include hundreds of western plants — most notably the Douglas Fir. Douglas’ detailed field notebooks and lively narrative sketches, along with extensive flora and fauna collections, provide baseline information about Pacific Northwest landscape and culture during the period of initial European contact. Nisbet weaves an evocative narrative that infuses excerpts from Douglas’ journals with descriptive historical information, inviting readers to travel alongside the early explorers., “...an exhilarating biography that provides an entertaining portrait of the unfettered determination that drove one of the giants in the field of botanical exploration and infused the young nation he viewed with a keen and zealous spirit.”, --Booklist, “We've long needed a modern biographer of naturalist David Douglas and who better to write it than Jack Nisbet, one of the Northwest's great storytellers....Nisbet has authored a narrative tapestry.”, --David Nicandri, Director of the Washington State Historical Society, This program is presented in partnership with The Elliott Bay Book Company. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Devo, Reggie Watts

The Moore Theatre
1932 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101-1102
Sunday, November 8, 2009, 7:30pm

Formed in Akron, OH in 1974 as a multi-media experiment, DEVO caught the attention of such pop music luminaries as Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Neil Young, whose support led to a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. The label released the Brian Eno-produced Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in 1978, followed by Duty Now for the Future in 1979. In 1980, DEVO released its commercial breakthrough album Freedom of Choice, which featured the timeless Top 20 hit “Whip It,” followed by 1981’s New Traditionalists, 1982’s Oh, No! It’s Devo, and 1984’s Shout, its last album for Warner Bros. Records. After releasing 1988’s Total Devo and 1990’s Smooth Noodle Mapson Enigma Records, the band went on hiatus.

Now original members Gerald Casale, Bob Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Bob Mothersbaugh are back with drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Guns N’ Roses).

They will perform Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! on November 8th and Freedom of Choice on November 9th.

Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard

ACT-A Contemporary Theatre

Seattle, WA 98101-2330
Sunday, November 8, 2009, 7:30pm

When the Soviet hammer falls on Prague Spring, Jan returns to his native city to rescue two things – socialism and his mother. His only luggage: a suitcase full of rock albums. This show won raves on Broadway, and it's no wonder – Stoppard's writing, like the best music, invigorates your mind along with your spirit. The relationship of self to state and of body to mind are just some of the ideas he explores, with help from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, and many others.

"Astounding, funny, wise and triumphant. Rock 'n' Roll renews your awareness that history is what happens while we live our day-to-day lives. I left the theater feeling elated." —New York Magazine

Silent Movie Mondays: Adventure Stories to Silent Classics

10 Nov 2009 03:00:00 GMT

The Paramount Theatre
911 Pine St
Seattle, WA 98101-1818
Monday, November 9, 2009, 7pm

With innovative, illusionary cinematic techniques, trick photography with superimposed images, dissolves and cuts - Silent Movie Mondays: Adventure Stories to Silent Classics explores the early works of visionaries who created a science fiction film world from such malleable objects as cardboard cut outs, clay, and cedars. An Arabian prince, an evil sorcerer, underwater adventures, and baby brontosaurus populate the dreamland uncovered in the THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, and LOST WORLD, easily some of the eras most innovative forays into science fiction and fantasy filmmaking. Catch these handcrafted films that boldly go where no CGI-laden Star Wars, or Harry Potter movie ever can, an imagined world constructed of the tactile not the digital.

November 2nd - 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA
(Stuart Paton, USA, 1916, 105 min)
The prototype of the special effects spectacular, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA is a groundbreaking production marshalling the expertise underwater experts Ernest and George Williamson. This production, financed by Universal, would require location photography, large sets, exotic costumes, sailing ships, and a full-size navigable mock-up of the surfaced submarine Nautilus. It was also the first feature film version of Jules Verne’s classic tale (mixed with plot elements from another Verne novel, The Mysterious Island). Allen Holubar stars as Captain Nemo, whose military efforts mirror preparations for the war that the world was facing when this feature was filmed. The only previous attempt to produce the film was in short form back in 1907 by pioneering science fiction filmmaker George Méliès of Voyage to the Moon fame.

November 9th - THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED
(Lotte Reiniger, Germany, 1926, 67 min)
Climb aboard a flying horse and fly away to the kaleidoscopic world of The Arabian Nights! THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED - the oldest extant feature-length animated film - is a breathtaking work of art. Created in 1926 by 23 year-old German teacher Lotte Reiniger, the film tells the story of an Arabian prince, an evil sorcerer, and a captured princess using silhouette-animation techniques. ACHMED is a vital part of film history and a breathtaking work of art. The film is made of nearly 300,000 camera shots, a meticulous triumph of imagination and animation. Legendary French filmmaker Jean Renoir proclaimed the film “a masterpiece,” adding that Lotte Reiniger was “born with magic hands.”

November 16th - THE LOST WORLD
(Harry O. Hoyt, USA, 1925, 106 min)
A wonder from the pre-Jurassic (the Cinezoic) period, 1925's THE LOST WOLD, now beautifully restored. Known as "the granddaddy of all prehistoric monster movies," based on a tale by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, THE LOST WORLD is a live-action feature with stop-motion animated creatures by Willis O'Brien, who went on to create King Kong. O'Brien's creatures topped all other movie monsters, not only for their fierce realism but for their individual, sometimes impish personalities; just as Kong became the darling of the Surrealists, you'll bond with Brontosaurus and his cynical sneer. He may simply be reacting to the acting of his captors in an expedition headed by Professor Challenger (Wallace Beery) whose account of a "lost world" has made him the laugh of London. The laughs stop when London Bridge is falling down under Bronty's weight. Cinematographer Arthur Edeson (The Thief of Bagdad) captures the netherworldliness of an Amazon jungle plateau where prehistoric life has been preserved, a spectacle magically photographed (and gorgeously toned) on sets more bonsai than miniature. This was reportedly the first in-flight movie too! Preservation funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Moore Theatre

Seattle, WA 98101-1102
Monday, November 9, 2009, 7:30pm

Formed in Akron, OH in 1974 as a multi-media experiment, DEVO caught the attention of such pop music luminaries as Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Neil Young, whose support led to a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. The label released the Brian Eno-produced Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in 1978, followed by Duty Now for the Future in 1979. In 1980, DEVO released its commercial breakthrough album Freedom of Choice, which featured the timeless Top 20 hit “Whip It,” followed by 1981’s New Traditionalists, 1982’s Oh, No! It’s Devo, and 1984’s Shout, its last album for Warner Bros. Records. After releasing 1988’s Total Devo and 1990’s Smooth Noodle Mapson Enigma Records, the band went on hiatus.

Now original members Gerald Casale, Bob Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Bob Mothersbaugh are back with drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Guns N’ Roses).

They will perform Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! on November 8th and Freedom of Choice on November 9th.

Alex Steffen: Building a Planet with a Future

12 Nov 2009 03:30:00 GMT

Great Hall, enter on 8th Avenue
Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 7:30 – 9pm

At the Copenhagen climate summit in December, the world’s leaders will try to reach agreement on a path to a climate-safe future. As debate rages about how to lift the developing world out of poverty while redefining affluence on dramatically more sustainable lines, Alex Steffen’s answers are increasingly influential. Steffen, the Seattle-based editor of the instrumental sustainability site Worldchanging.com, has become one of the world’s leading thinkers on the planetary future, and his ideas on “bright green” environmentalism—sustainable, dynamic, prosperous, and fair—have a wide following in Northern Europe. Steffen will be keynote speaker at three of the major events during the Copenhagen summit, but first he’ll deliver a special two-night talk at Town Hall exploring what a bright-green future means for the planet—and the perils and opportunities that future will bring for Seattle. Richard Conlin introduces tonight’s talk, which will focus on global issues and big trends. Presented by Town Hall’s Center for Civic Life.

Tickets are $5 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006, and at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Town Hall members receive priority seating.

For the past two decades, author and award-winning journalist Mark Danner has reported from Latin America, Haiti, the Balkans, and the Middle East, exploring not only the real consequences of American engagement with the world, but also the relationship between political violence and power. From the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti to the tumultuous rise of Aristide; from the onset of the Balkan Wars to the painful fragmentation of Yugoslavia; and to the invasion of Iraq and the legacy of the Bush administration, Danner, former staff writer at The New Yorker and author of Stripping Bare the Body, has visited some of the world’s most troubled regions, bringing back lessons on politics, violence, and war. Presented by Town Hall’s Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series supported by RealNetworks Foundation, the Brown Foundation, and the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.

Advance tickets are $5 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006, or at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Town Hall members receive priority seating.

Technology Commercialization in Difficult Times

13 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Downstairs at Town Hall; enter on Seneca Street.
Thursday, November 12, 2009, 5 – 7pm

Seattle is famous for its techies and biotechies—they’re super-smart and filled with great ideas, but might not have the entrepreneurial know-how to turn those ideas into a product or a company, especially in today’s economic climate. But Lee Hood and Carl Weissman have a solid track record of translating ideas into successful businesses— and they’re willing to share their insight, which is considerable: Hood, co-founder and president of the Institute for Systems Biology, invented the automated genome sequencer and has co-founded more than 14 biotech companies. And Weissman, chairman and CEO of Accelerator Corporation, has led the company as it invested in 10 biotech companies, three of which have raised more than $114 million in additional rounds of financing. Hosted by the ISB Associates Network and sponsored by Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt.

Tickets are $10 at isbtownhall.eventbrite.com and at the door beginning at 5 pm.

Alex Steffen: Seattle's Bright Green Moment

13 Nov 2009 03:30:00 GMT

Great Hall, enter on 8th Avenue
Thursday, November 12, 2009, 7:30 – 9pm

At the Copenhagen climate summit in December, the world’s leaders will try to reach agreement on a path to a climate-safe future. As debate rages about how to lift the developing world out of poverty while redefining affluence on dramatically more sustainable lines, Alex Steffen’s answers are increasingly influential. Steffen, the Seattle-based editor of the instrumental sustainability site Worldchanging.com, has become one of the world’s leading thinkers on the planetary future, and his ideas on “bright green” environmentalism—sustainable, dynamic, prosperous, and fair—have a wide following in Northern Europe. Steffen will be keynote speaker at three of the major events during the Copenhagen summit, but first he’ll deliver a special two-night talk at Town Hall exploring what a bright-green future means for the planet—and the perils and opportunities that future will bring for Seattle. Mike McGinn introduces tonight’s talk, which will focus on the local picture and what we can do right now. Presented by Town Hall’s Center for Civic Life.
Tickets are $5 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006, and at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Town Hall members receive priority seating.

No Age

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of their classic 1989 album Doolittle, the band - Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering - will kick off the very special US "Doolittle Tour" in November. The U.S. tour will hit a total of nine cities, including two dates in Seattle.

On this tour, the Pixies will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides, "Weird at My School," "Dancing the Manta Ray," and "Bailey's Walk" among them. Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away."

The Boston-formed Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom. They disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April, 2004 when virtually every, single date sold out within minutes and fans traveled hundred of miles to attend a show. In post-Pixies years, Black Francis has enjoyed a successful solo career as Frank Black, Kim Deal went on to form the Platinum-selling band the Breeders, Joey Santiago started the band The Martinis and has carved a career as a music composer for film and TV, and David Lovering performs as a magician and continues to drum. The US "Doolittle Tour" will be the band's first American trek since 2005.

No Age

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of their classic 1989 album Doolittle, the band - Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering - will kick off the very special US "Doolittle Tour" in November. The U.S. tour will hit a total of nine cities, including two dates in Seattle.

On this tour, the Pixies will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides, "Weird at My School," "Dancing the Manta Ray," and "Bailey's Walk" among them. Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away."

The Boston-formed Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom. They disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April, 2004 when virtually every, single date sold out within minutes and fans traveled hundred of miles to attend a show. In post-Pixies years, Black Francis has enjoyed a successful solo career as Frank Black, Kim Deal went on to form the Platinum-selling band the Breeders, Joey Santiago started the band The Martinis and has carved a career as a music composer for film and TV, and David Lovering performs as a magician and continues to drum. The US "Doolittle Tour" will be the band's first American trek since 2005.

Falls Theatre at ACT

Seattle, WA 98101-2330
Friday, November 13, 2009, 8pm

NO LATE SEATING

I am Gregory Maqoma, an African dancer. I have plenty of exotic stories to sell. Which one would you like to hear tonight?

In his acclaimed solo performance, Beautiful Me, South African choreographer and dancer Gregory Maqoma looks deeply into his connections to history, humanity and nature. A dancer of mesmerizing precision balanced with lyrical warmth, Maqoma portrays his conversations with three master choreographers who have inspired him, and who contributed “minutes” of music, text and movement to Beautiful Me: Akram Khan’s Contemporary Kathak, Faustin Linyekula’s visual dance-theater, and Vincent Mantsoe’s Afro-Fusion. With live music by four exceptional players (on violin, cello, sitar and percussion), Beautiful Me speaks honestly about the difficult and profound task of finding one’s authentic voice.
