Tacoma is set to host its first-ever Butoh dance workshop on August 3rd and 4th at the Tacoma Armory. The event, organized in collaboration with ACE at Tacoma Arts Live, promises to immerse participants in the transformative world of Butoh, an avant-garde dance form that originated in post-war Japan in the 1950s and has since become a celebrated international performance art.
The workshop, titled "Radical Resonance: A Butoh Workshop," will be conducted by Julie Becton Gillum, a master teacher with over 40 years of experience in dance and 27 years of dedicated Butoh practice. Gillum, the artistic director of the Asheville Butoh Festival, brings a wealth of knowledge and international acclaim, having performed and taught across the US, Europe, Asia, and Mexico.
Participants in the workshop will delve into the possibilities of their bodies in their natural form through exercises derived from Noguchi Taiso, a practice that emphasizes natural, effort-free movement. These exercises will help dancers strip away societal and cultural behaviors, allowing their bodies to respond freely to sensations, forces, and emotions. The workshop aims to expand the participants' range of movements to include the subtle, avant-garde, fading, and unleashed bodies.
Noguchi Taiso, central to the workshop, proposes that movement should not fight gravity but embrace it, using its force to assist natural responses. This principle has been widely adopted by Butoh and dance practitioners in Japan for its ability to make the body more transparent and aligned with universal forces.Gillum’s extensive background includes influential mentorships with renowned Butoh artists such as Anzu Furukawa, Diego Piñon, Yoshito Ohno, and Natsu Nakajima. Her recent performances at prominent events like the Amsterdam Butoh Festival, Seattle Butoh Festival, and NYU Abu Dhabi Art Museum have been highly acclaimed, further cementing her reputation in the Butoh community.

As a material, glass is ubiquitous. However, it is more than just the screen on your smartphone. Glass is an artistic medium, capable of using a vibrant visual language to convey powerful ideas about who we are, and how we feel about the world around us.
Like painters with a palette, glass artists harness the unique qualities of molten glass to make artwork capable of telling the same stories art has been telling for centuries. Glass can create landscapes that represent the world around us; reflect how we see ourselves and others in portraits; compose still lives that discuss our relationship to our material culture; or be sculpted in abstract works that convey emotion and ideas.
Out of the Vault: Art History 101 takes visitors on a visual journey through the four basic pillars of art history: landscape, portraiture, still life, and abstraction, showcased through new and significant acquisitions from the Museum’s collections.

[image] a quiet place
A woman named Sam finds herself trapped in New York City during the early stages of an invasion by alien creatures with ultrasonic hearing
A Quiet Place is one of the most surprising horror franchises of the 21st century. Performing at a consistent level of quality that has shown no signs of slowing down. This consistent level of quality continues with A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel film showing the first days of the alien invasion that caused the entire world to go silent. Even though it succumbs to the same flaws as its predecessors, it's still a thrilling ride that will make you hear your heartbeat.
We follow Sam (Lupita Nyong’o), a terminally ill cancer patient, and her therapy cat, Frodo, as they struggle to survive an alien invasion in one of the noisiest places on Earth, New York City. As she realizes her time is limited, she decides to make the dangerous trek across NYC to fulfill her dying wish, a slice of Paty’s pizza. With this basic synopsis, Sam’s story will either deeply resonate with you, or would grossly frustrate you. It can easily be said that seeing someone do everything you are not supposed to do during an alien invasion, can be infuriating to watch due to their stupidity. However, in a Quiet Place: Day One, their “stupidity” is logical as they know they are already dead man. Thus I surprisingly found myself moved by Sam’s journey as she fulfilling her dying wish. Her journey was filled with themes of morality and facing the inevitability of death, which hit way harder than it should have been. This guttural reality is brought beautifully to life by Lupita Nyong’o. She perfectly portrays all of the anger and frustration of one's life being taken away too soon but gives a hidden warmth and wisdom to her character that can only be found in those whose days are numbered. And she manages to encapsulate these layers without saying a single word.
On her journey, Sam meets Eric (Joseph Quinn), a student studying to be a lawyer, and he becomes her unlikely companion during the apocalypse. Now it is hard not to be frustrated with his character, as he is mostly sane and a perfectly healthy individual, but he decides to go on this su!c!dal journey with Sam. Yet, his need for companionship during the end of the world was deeply resonating. This resonance was played perfectly by Joseph Quinn, who proves himself to be more than just this Stranger Things breakout role. His performance is touching, sweet, and occasionally funny, as he encapsulates his character's struggle without saying a single word.
As previously stated, A Quiet Place: Day One does succumb to the same flaws as its predecessor, such as the alien's supersonic hearing being inconsistent, but it is still a thrilling ride nonetheless. Even though we may not be able to see the horrors of an alien invasion, we sure do hear them. The film's sound design is impeccable as the quietest of frequencies feels like a church bell ringing, ringing to the sound of death. This intense sound design will keep you on the edge of your seat as we see our characters make the dangerous trek across New York City for that famous Paty’s Pizza.
Overall, A Quiet Place: Day One lives up to its predecessor by being one of the best horror franchises to come out of the 21st century. Even though it has the same tragic flaws as its predecessors, it is still a thrilling entry into this original franchise. Plus it Frodo the Cat lives, so that is always a bonus.

[image] kinds of kindness
A man seeks to break free from his predetermined path, a cop questions his wife's demeanor after her return from a supposed drowning, and a woman searches for an extraordinary individual prophesied to become a renowned spiritual guide.
After being thoroughly disappointed and disgusted by 2023 Poor Things, I was glad Yorgos Lanthimos was teaming up again with Efthimis Filippou, who wrote Dogtooth, The Lobster, and The Killing of the Sacred Deer. This reunion signified Yorgos’s return to his roots as he explores the comedic humiliation of personal, societal, and familial degradation. This comedic degradation can be warmly welcomed in Kinds of Kindness. Now if you are not a fan of classical Yorgos Lanthimos, then this film will most likely not be for you. However, if you love his classical work, then you will warmly embrace Kinds of Kindness.
Kinds of Kindness is an anthology film telling three separate tales, with the ensemble playing different characters in each part. Each story is vaguely connected, with only the title being the one clear similarity. Even though the quality varies among the three tales, I readily enjoyed each one.
The first tale, is my favorite of the three, as we follow Robert (Jesse Plemons), who is fired by his toxic, god-like boss, Raymond (Willem Dafoe), who dictates every element of his life. Soon he becomes desperate to win over his former boss as his life begins to fall apart. This story is a tragic tale of the vicious and abusive cycle of control and rebellion, between god and man. It is a fascinating and hilarious deconstruction of how we let others dictate how our lives are being lived. From the score being our character's inner monologue chanting “No”, to the broken John McEnroe racquet, this story fully embraces the absurdity of control that others will have on us.
The second tale is the one that I am most confused by. Daniel's (Jesse Plemons) wife, Liz (Emma Stone), returns home after being lost at sea for several months, for him only to believe that she is not his wife. This story is unsettling and alien, yet it is the most muddled out of the three. I first believed that this was going to be a commentary on the tragedy of falling out of love because your spouse doesn’t feel like the same person anymore. However, the story transformed into something that I didn’t recognize. The story drags out about 10 minutes longer than it should and has an ending that will leave you scratching your head. It has some excellent moments scattered throughout, but I was left confused by its end.
The final tale comes as a return to form for the short stories but has some structural and narrative issues that plague it from greatness. We follow two cult members (Stone and Plemons) as they search for a necromancer to spread their gospel. This cult is unkind and rarely shows compassion to each other outside of sex. Yet when a normal person does something horrific, it highlights there is no escape from the cruelness of the world. I believe that this tale had the potential to be the best of the three given it has emotional stakes with Stone's character as she is torn between the cult and her family. But the story becomes muddled as it drags out its story. However, it has the best ending of the three tales that will leave you dying from uncomfortable laughter.
As with all Lanthimos films, the performances from his ensemble are outstanding. Here Jesse Plemons takes the lead, in the first two tales, and it is hard not to see why he won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. His comedic timing is impeccable as he perfectly infuses himself with Lanthimos’s dry humor. Yet within his comedy, he finds tragedy within his characters that is filled with soul. Emma Stone co-leads with Plemons in the second and leads in the final tale. However, it is in the final character that she truly shines as she gives her character an emotional depth that would have been lost if it was not for her performance. The rest of the ensemble is great, even though I would have liked to have seen more screen time from some actors. I would have loved to have seen more from Hong Chau, Margaret Qualley, Willem Dafoe, and Mamoudou Athie in each story.
Overall, Kinds of Kindness is a strange film that will not be for everyone. It is not the best work that Lanthimos has ever done, but it is easily his most ambitious and experimental film to date, to which I give him a badge of respect.

Before you fire up the mower or hedge trimmer, keep in mind that for many of our local birds, mid summer is still nesting season--and some birds build nests in grass or even in dirt. This behavior is called ground nesting. The nest pictured above, barely visible in the tall grass, belongs to a dark-eyed junco, one of Washington State's native songbirds.
Know Before you Mow
-If you plan to mow grass, carefully walk around the area first and look out for ground nesting birds. Don't worry if you scare the parents off the nest--they'll be back once you've left the area. Leave about a 6 foot radius of uncut grass around the nest and cut it once the birds have fledged.
-Check for nests before trimming shrubs or low hanging tree limbs. Hummingbirds are one species that will be sitting on eggs at this time of year, and their nests can be very small--so check thoroughly!
-If the yard work can't be avoided, move the nest to the nearest safe location, then wait until the parent birds have returned. Sustained disturbance can cause birds to abandon a nest--wait at least several hours, ideally until the following day, before doing any further work near the nest.

Wednesday, a significant disruption occurred on Everett highway SR 529 after a large sinkhole emerged. Authorities determined that it was caused by unauthorized tunneling beneath the road. They promptly responded by closing the affected section to ensure public safety and to assess the damage.
As of Thursday, the highway has been successfully repaired and reopened to traffic. Crews worked overnight to fill the sinkhole and reinforce the area to prevent further incidents.
The person responsible for the tunneling has not been identified publicly.
If you have information about this individual, please send it to newsroom@weekly-volcano.com. Even though this is outside our coverage area, we Tacomans love a good tunnel story.
