Special Pre-Festival Event May 7-11
In the twisted tradition of Shockheaded Peter, Tim Burton and Edward Gorey, Seattle International Children’s Festival, in partnership with Seattle Repertory Theatre, presents Aurélia’s Oratorio. A dazzling display of stage illusion and circus theater spectacle.
Aurélia’s Oratorio is inspired by European circuses and medieval drawings depicting upside-down and inside-out worlds with altered states. Nothing is as it seems as the impossible happens. Furniture has a mind of its own, trains go through people and, at times, the puppets are in charge.
Creator and performer Aurélia Thierrée has performed as actress and illusionist since early childhood, initially with her parents Victoria Thierrée Chaplin and Jean-Baptiste Thierrée, the pioneers of new circus in the famous Cirque Invisible (Seattle Rep, 1997) and Cirque Imaginaire, and more recently with Tiger Lillies Circus of Shockheaded Peter fame.
“Grab the kids — not too young — and treat yourself to 70 minutes of the most fun you’ll have in a theater this year.” –Post and Courier, Charleston
“A magical slice of theatrical trickery”
–Metro
“It is an absolute spellbinder”
–Daily Telegraph
“It is a bewitching 70 minutes in which the nightmarish and the dreamy meet and disintegrate in a puff of smoke and the whistle of a train.”
–The Guardian

After two spectacular Seattle engagements, PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS returns to wet and woody Seattle. And this time, Writer/Comedian Cathy Sorbo is on hand to whip the audience into a hysterical frenzy before this “Powerful Pair of Penises” makes their highly anticipated entrance. PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS (POP) settles into their new home at ACT Theatre from April 29th – May 4th. Cathy comments, “I first met the boys a few years back and I can’t wait to see them again. I’ll bet they’ve ‘eh hem’ grown a lot since then. I wonder if I’ll recognize them?”
Make no mistake, there are no sock puppets in this show! This eye POP-ing show is exactly what it pretends to be; two naked penis puppeteers on stage presenting the ancient Australian art of genital origami with an astounding series of penis installations.
Requiring astonishing stamina, an unbelievable stretch factor and an amazing level of testicular fortitude, PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS leaves women and men gasping with more than 40 heroic and hilarious penis installations including The Pelican, The Windsurfer, The Eiffel Tower, Loch Ness Monster, and the signature installation, The Hamburger. POP has made countless celebrity’s eyes ‘pop’: Hugh Grant, Naomi Campbell, Posh Spice, Bono and Elton John to name a few. Join this star-studded list of POP supporters and see for yourself. PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS is a non-sexual adult show.

I wrote an article for this months issue of MAKE Magazine (http://www.makezine.com/) about folk artist Martin Sanchez and the environment he created out of found objects (including a beer-bottle chapel) and I’m going to be featuring some of those photos with commentary this Thursday 4/10 at See Sound Lounge on 1st and Blanchard in Belltown at 6pm.
Pecha Kucha Night was conceived in 2003 as a place for designers, architects and artists to meet, network, and show their work in public, and it has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world.
Give a mic to an architect or an artist and you may be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor.

Artists and presenters for the evening are Marlow Harris, Alex Steffen, Cameron Hall, Sage Saskill, Elizabeth Buschmann, Karen Lorene, Jesse Harris, Dawn Clark, Ross Leventhal and Michael Franz Horner

Seattle real estate agent Sarina McDonald aka “Ravenna Black” stars in this week’s episode of the ABC reality show “Wife Swap”. The show takes two women — whose families have vastly different values — and asks them to switch places for two weeks. Each episode documents the drama that results when the husband and the kids are forced to adjust to a new matriarch in the family.
For this show, Sarina went to upstate New York to live with the Robarge family. They are involved in lumberjack competitions, and their family’s activities revolve around husband Wally’s professional lumberjack competitions, where the McDonalds’ lives revolve around Sarina’s trips around the country to burlesque events.
Sarina saw this as a great opportunity to highlight some of the charity work she does with The Pin-Up Angels.
Do you love this girl or what?

Seattle’s colorful, industrial Georgetown neighborhood has drawn a lot of recent attention as the last outpost of a true blue-collar Bohemian arts community. In an effort to showcase the many accomplished artists and creative enterprises based in the neighborhood, the Georgetown Merchants Association is pleased to launch the first Georgetown Second Saturday Art Attack. The first of these lively monthly artwalks will take place on Saturday, February 9, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.
More than two dozen galleries, studios, nightclubs, boutiques, and cafes will participate in the inaugural event. The work of countless local artists in a variety of media will be presented. As the delicate social ecology of the historic Georgetown district faces challenges posed by gentrification, it is hoped that featuring Georgetown’s delightful creative diversity will generate public sentiment favoring the preservation of this regional asset.
Among the many highlights of the Second Saturday Georgetown Art Attack:
The lively “Art Jam” at 9 Lb. Hammer where a dozen Georgetown artists create modern masterpieces live onstage to a pulsating urban sound mix; Open artists studios at the newly developed Equinox Studios, housing more than three dozen artists and craftsmen; Art exhibition and book launch party for cartoonist Ellen Forney’s provocative new title “Lust” at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery; New works by the incomparable Rick Klu at Georgetown Tile Works; Open house celebration at the newly expanded Belle & Wissell studio gallery; Improvisational theater by Real Moment Players at Calamity Jane’s; A sneak peek at soon-to-open Full Throttle Bottles; A multimedia installation about the Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival at Bolte Creative and an opening at the rechristened MIX (formerly Christoff Gallery); Exotic shopping, diverse dining, thirst quenching fun and limitless entertainment in the charming and challenging Georgetown industrial arts quarter.
