SUMMARY:The Goldberg Variations by Clayton Lee
DESCRIPTION:In The Goldberg Variations\, Canadian performance artist Clayton Lee freely references and entangles queer diasporic sexuality and aesthetics with classical music (Johann Sebastian Bach) and professional wrestling (Bill Goldberg). Using deadpan humor\, generosity\, and a low-vibrating mischievousness to facilitate and indulge the “what-ifs” of the live encounter\, Clayton guides the audience through his sexual history while conjuring and perhaps manifesting new fantasies at the exact same time. The Goldberg Variations is an unhinged and reckless deep dive into power dynamics\, sexual desire\, Domination/submission\, heartbreak\, vulnerability\, tenderness\, and the tensions that exist within.

SUMMARY:Planetary Dance
DESCRIPTION:Dance artist Lucie Baker will lead a group through Anna Halprin’s noted Planetary Dance community ritual. Planetary Dance is a participatory ritual of healing and community renewal created in 1980 by legendary dance pioneer Anna Halprin. Designed as a dance for peace\, it invites people of all ages and abilities to walk\, run\, or stand in concentric circles around a central group of drummers to create a moving mandala. The dance is rooted in engaged community activism and offers an opportunity to process grief\, celebrate resilience\, and dedicate one’s movement to a personal or global cause. Learn More about the Planetary Dance HERE and watch Anna Halprin discuss the practice in THIS short film. You can RSVP for the event HERE.

SUMMARY:Bumbershoot: CYPHER Queenz and Julie Slick
DESCRIPTION:In 2001 three BGirls\, Naj\, Bean and Lee dived into the breakin’ culture that quickly became a huge part of their expression\, growth and purpose. Over the years there was a growing desire to create more space for other BGirls that was not intimidating and celebrated women. Their strong connection as women was a main factor in encouraging each other to continue their passion in the breakin’ scene. They asked themselves\, “would more BGirls start and stick around if we did more for them? Yes!” CYPHER Queenz began in 2019 after many years of seeing a need for more community for BGirls. They have observed many women briefly coming into the scene and then quickly leaving because of lack of support. There is an explosion of talented BGirls all over the world now and there is so much more to come. In Seattle\, they want to provide that space for them.

SUMMARY:Sagimai: Heron Siege Peace Procession
DESCRIPTION:Kubota Gardens and Kintsugi Somatic Art Present\nSagimai – Heron Siege Peace Procession\nAugust 30\, Noon\nAdmission: FREE\nKubota Garden\, 9817 55th Ave S\, Seattle\, WA 98118 \nInspired by the thousand year old Japanese tradition of Sagimai (heron dance)\, Kintsugi Somatic Art\n(KSA) will present their “Heron Siege Peace Procession on Saturday\, August 30 at noon. Sagimai is\na Shinto ritual for peace still performed at temples in Tokyo today. For KSA’s procession\, the\n“temple” will be the glorious sanctuary of Kubota Garden. KSA’s dance ritual is informed by cellular\nbiology\, gestural movement\, somatics\, and improvisational play while honoring the traditional\nexpression. The dance will open Kubota Garden’s annual Summer of Thunder: Taiko in the Garden\nevent.\nSince 2025\, choreographer and KSA founder/director\, Leah Okamoto Mann\, has staged numerous\nHeron Siege Peace Processions at events such as Vashon Strawberry Festival\, Kizoku Ishiki Obon\,\nHiroshima 2 Hope\, Open Air Festival (Vashon)\, Tacoma Museum of History and Industry\, and the\nBeam Theater (Atl). The processions are contemplative action with a physicalized intention of\npeace. They are a means of compassionate communal engagement amid violence and warfare here\nand abroad. A siege is the name for a flock of herons. It is also defined as a persistent force toward\na goal. The heron is a symbol of perseverance and inner calm.\nWe invite community to join in this collective action as a “human murmuration”. A murmuration is a\nflocking formation utilized by starlings and other non predatory birds to become greater than the\nsum of the parts for survival.. For the procession at Kubota\, the hope is to amplify the “murmur” of\npeace.\nDancers include: Dana Lupton\, Grace Matsuoka\, Zahra Matsuoka\, Andrea Braganza\, Naon\nFoongfuang\, Sheli Potmesil\, Elizabeth Mendana Shaw\, and Leah Okamoto Mann. Koto no WA will\nplay live accompaniment.
