Creating art at Echo Lake Elementary brought the community together

Thursday, June 22, 2023

Community art project at Echo Lake Elementary shows their heart
Photo by Steven H. Robinson

By Kaija Dalan

The Echo Lake Elementary PTA started doing a community art night as a way to both beautify the school and connect as a school community. 

Art brings people together and it is one of the easiest ways to open conversations with others. It was so fun to watch both kids and parents be creative.

They were painting 4x4 squares of wood. Being only 4x4 they didn’t have to make anything elaborate so pressure was low.

I never know exactly how things will turn out. I have a tentative plan in my head but kids are hard to plan for, so flexibility and adaptability are critical.

When all the pieces were done, and ready to go on the fence along Ashworth at the school, we didn’t know exactly how we were going to hang them till we started. 

We tried different layouts on the sidewalk. The heart was created on the spot with all the assorted colored pieces. So it’s always cool to see how things turn out.

Kids love showing off what they did and trying to find their square on the fence.

PTA will continue to try to bring the community together with events like this, back to school bbq, trunk-or-treat, science night etc. 

Since Covid people are longing for the connections with others and the school. So we are trying to create new and reestablish old traditions to foster that.
 
Next year, and until the budget issue is rectified, we will need families at the school more than ever to support our kids and staff. 

We hope PTA events like this will help encourage families to participate in whatever manner that they can because they feel comfortable and connected and proud of the school. 

It took hundreds of hands to make the new art, each piece unique and different. It wouldn’t have been the same if just a few people did it. It took the whole Echo Lake community to make it as unique and special as it is.

Dunn Lumber graciously donated all the wood, so that was amazing. Big thank you to them for supporting local schools and the PTA.

Tree wrap stolen from in front of City Hall

Wednesday, June 7, 2023


Community members were invited to create knitted tree wraps in honor of Pride Month and display them on street and park trees in Shoreline.

This wrap was in front of Shoreline City Hall.

Just a week after it was placed, it was stolen.

The artist who created it, Amanda Drewniak, issued an appeal.
I'm hoping someone who enjoys the piece took it. If you did message me- you can have it back at the end of the month. Please share this and help me get the piece back to the tree in front of City Hall.

The City has received reports of tree wraps being torn down from trees in Boeing Creek Park. 

These works of art are individually hand crafted by volunteer creators and remain their property, loaned to the community for the month of June as a visual representation of the City’s support of our LGBTQIA+ residents. Police have been notified about the thefts.

If you know of the whereabouts of the removed art, please return it to City Hall or contact Neighborhoods Coordinator Constance Perenyi at cperenyi@shorelinewa.gov or 206-801-2253.

Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra at Benaroya Hall - 2023-24 season

Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, Adam Stern conducting

SEATTLE PHILHARMONIC ANNOUNCES
2023-24 SEASON AT BENAROYA HALL

The Seattle Philharmonic, the oldest of Puget Sound's community orchestras, is pleased to announce details of their 2023-24 season of concerts at Benaroya Hall.

Under the leadership of Music Director Adam Stern, the orchestra will perform four widely-varying programs comprising thirteen major works from three different centuries and nine different countries.

"I am unbelievably fortunate to have an orchestra that supports my programming 100%", Stern effuses. 
"When I was asked to become this superb ensemble's music director in 2003, I was urged to 'program my heart' and not feel constrained by conventional programming trends. 
"The Philharmonic has thus been able to provide the public with concert experiences that are unrivaled in their presentations of quality lesser-known works alongside some of the beloved gemstones in the symphonic repertoire."

Alongside familiar concert staples by Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander Borodin, Johann Strauss, Jr., Antonín Dvořák, and Sergei Rachmaninov, the Philharmonic will present U.S. and local premieres of music by Maria Grenfell, Isidora Žebeljan, Alexis Alrich, and Jeanne Demessieux. 

A major musical happening will be a rare U. S. performance of Arthur Honegger's Symphony No. 3, the Liturgique, one of the most profound musical pleas for an end to war and hatred, and for an everlasting peace.

The season:

Fantasy: A World with No Boundaries
October 28, 2023 • 2:00 p.m. • Benaroya Hall


A musical celebration of myths, legends, and fantasies. The program opens with the overture to Prometheus by Ludwig van Beethoven (his sole full-length ballet score), based on the Greek myth, and closes with the most beloved waltz of Johann Strauss, Jr., The Blue Danube, a magical conjuration of Austria's past, the peace and love that the river inspires, and even its mermaid inhabitants. 

Australian composer Maria Grenfell's orchestral fantasy Hinemoa, based on a Maori fairytale about young lovers united by music, is heard in its first U.S. performance. Alexander Borodin's popular "musical tableau" In the Steppes of Central Asia, an evocative vision of a desert caravan, precedes Frederick Delius' romantic and sensuous Concerto for Violin and Cello, a work described by one commentator as "an orgiastic outpouring of melody," with our sensational soloists, Sempre Sisters (Charlotte Marckx, violin and Olivia Marckx, cello).

  • BEETHOVEN Prometheus, Op. 43: Overture
  • BORODIN In the Steppes of Central Asia
  • DELIUS Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Orchestra
    • Sempre Sisters, soloists:
    • Charlotte Marckx and Olivia Marckx
  • GRENFELL Hinemoa (U. S. premiere)
  • J. STRAUSS, Jr. The Blue Danube

"The interrelation between Nature and Life:" Dvořák's Eighth
January 20, 2024 • 2:00 p.m. • Benaroya Hall


This all-Slavic program brings together three works that boast passionate emotions, vivid colors, and consummate compositional mastery. Antonin Dvořák's Symphony No. 8, a perennial audience favorite, is a work aglow with the joys of life. 

The Philharmonic's esteemed concertmaster Luke Fitzpatrick joins the orchestra for the U, S premiere of Serbian composer Isidora Žebeljan's violin concerto Three Curious Loves, a work once affectionately described as a form of "crazy, wild, capricious Balkan dance". As an opener, we present a little-known symphonic poem by Alexander Glazunov, Spring, a sumptuous and lyrical paean to the season of rebirth.

  • GLAZUNOV Spring (A Musical Picture), Op. 34
  • ŽEBELJAN Three Curious Loves (U. S. premiere)
    • Luke Fitzpatrick, soloist
  • DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 8 in G, Op. 88

"A Spirit in search of serenity": Honegger's Third
April 13, 2024 • 2:00 p.m. • Benaroya Hall


The Swiss composer Arthur Honegger's third symphony, subtitled Liturgique, was written as a postlude to World War II, and is a fervent outcry against war and its concomitant dehumanization, and a plea for abiding peace. 

The program begins with Bell and Drum Tower by Alexis Alrich, a work that, to quote one commentator, "navigates the scenes and moods of Beijing by replicating the metallic and percussive qualities of Chinese bell towers." Franz Liszt's alternately heroic and tender Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by the winner of the Philharmonic's 2023 Don Bushell Competition, the blazingly talented Nathan Zhao.

  • ALRICH Bell and Drum Tower (Northwest premiere)
  • LISZT Piano Concerto No. 2 in A
    • Nathan Zhao, soloist
  • HONEGGER Symphony No. 3, Liturgique

"How fresh, how beautiful it is!": Rachmaninov's Second
June 1, 2024 • 2:00 p.m. • Benaroya Hall


The brilliant and tragically short-lived French organist Jeanne Demessieux was also an accomplished composer; her Poème, the only large-scale work she created for organ and orchestra, is given a rare performance by distinguished Seattle organ virtuoso Joseph Adam. 

Following intermission, the Philharmonic concludes its 2023-24 season in grand fashion with one of the most romantic and dazzling symphonies in the repertoire, the Symphony No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninov.

  • DEMESSIEUX Poème for Organ and Orchestra, Op. 9
    • Joseph Adam, soloist
  • RACHMANINOV Symphony No. 2 in e, Op. 27

Benaroya Hall is Seattle's premier concert hall. A city block long, it has three acoustically superb performance spaces in a beautiful building at 200 University Street

University of Washington School of Drama announces 2023-24 season

Saturday, June 3, 2023



SEATTLE—The School of Drama at the University of Washington main campus is excited to share our 2023-24 public season. We invite you to join us as we continue to showcase the creative talent of our student artists. 

This year we are presenting five productions: The Moors, by Jen Silverman, Vanity Fair, by Kate Hamill, A Thick Description of Harry Smith, Vol. 1, by Carlos Murillo, The Adding Machine, a newly devised adaptation of the Elmer Rice classic, and our ongoing series focusing developmental projects: the Producing Artists Laboratory.

All of our stages are laboratories where students can apply the skills they are learning in our classrooms. To support the breadth of their learning, our season will showcase works in progress, works of varying style and genre, and experimental works, all intended to prepare students to advance into the professional theatre arena.

The 2023-24 public season features five thought-provoking productions, each offering a unique theatrical experience:

THE MOORS
By Jen Silverman
Directed by Leah Adcock-Starr
Venue: Meany Studio Theatre
Performances: NOV. 2 – NOV. 12
Previews: OCT. 28 & 31

Experience The Moors — an ingenious dark comedy that subverts the tropes of the 19th-century Gothic romance. Contemporary Queer playwright Jen Silverman has brilliantly crafted eight characters (six women, a dog, and a moor hen) who each contend with desire, fear, and transformation. In their struggle to change, we recognize their love and their desperate need to be seen.

A THICK DESCRIPTION OF HARRY SMITH (Vol. 1)

By Carlos Murillo
Directed by Nick O’Leary
Venue: Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse
Performances: JAN. 19 – JAN. 28
Previews: JAN. 13 and 17

A Thick Description of Harry Smith, a proto-psychedelic medicine show, takes a wild ride through the life, work, and times of filmmaker, musicologist, painter, anthropologist, collector, occultist, and fabulist, Harry Everett Smith. Best known for editing the seminal Anthology of American Folk Music, Smith's peculiar life is an emblem of American bohemian life in the 20th Century.

VANITY FAIR
By Kate Hamill (based on the novel by William Makepeace Thackeray)
Directed by Kate Drummond
Venue: Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse
Performances: MAR. 7 – MAR. 16
Previews: MAR. 2 & 5

In Vanity Fair, Becky, orphaned and disadvantaged, is cunning and ambitious, while Amelia, born into privilege, is well-intentioned but naive. As they each strive to secure love, success, and stability in the patriarchy of early 19th-century London they face many obstacles to their dreams.

As their parallel stories unfold, the audience is forced to confront our own hypocrisy and the complexities of a world that often rewards those who break the rules. Through Becky and Amelia’s travails, this thrilling, highly theatrical (im)morality play explores the flexibility of our morals when faced with the harsh realities of our lives.

THE ADDING MACHINE
a new adaptation of the Elmer Rice classic
Directed by Ryan Guzzo Purcell
Venue: Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse
Performances: MAY 21 – JUN. 2
Previews: MAY 18 and 21

In this unique adaptation of "The Adding Machine," the unremarkable Mr. Zero, an accountant, is unexpectedly replaced by an adding machine. What follows is a series of remarkable events during and after his life that are outside of his control--or are they? In this devised adaptation, Director Ryan Purcell and student artists will examine the present-day emergence of artificial intelligence in the context of Rice’s prescient expressionistic classic of the 1920s.

Producing Artists Laboratory
Spring 2024
Venue: TBA
Performances: TBA
Previews: TBA

The Producing Artists Lab is an opportunity for student artists to share exploratory or developmental projects with the public. The Audience members may see a wider range in the levels of production and often more vigorous artistic risk-taking in these Lab productions. Stay tuned for the title announcement in early Spring 2024.

Subscriptions and single tickets will be available for purchase starting September 15, 2023. Visit https://drama.washington.edu/ for updates on ticket sales and to learn more about the School of Drama and our season.

About the UW School of Drama

The University of Washington School of Drama develops innovative and courageous artists and scholars poised to be the creative leaders of tomorrow. Degrees offered include a BA, an MFA, and a Ph.D. 

The School of Drama’s public season features fully produced shows and Lab projects in five different venues on the Seattle campus. These productions provide further opportunities for practice, experimentation, and exploration — often alongside prominent, internationally known artists. 

We believe in the power of theatrical storytelling to elevate individual and collective voices, promote understanding, and nurture compassion.
