Stormwater: Life in the Gutter - at Seattle Center, May 4-26

For more than a decade, solo performer Stokley Towles has been studying us. He examines the mundane aspects of life in Seattle like an anthropologist from another planet--our libraries, our trash system, our police force, the history of a single city block--and delivers his findings in rich, understated monologues full of bizarre, colorful trivia and bittersweet observations about how people navigate the world and each other. His latest study, Stormwater, is about the rivers that run beneath our feet. -- Brendan Kiley, The Stranger Weekly

As part of the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Center, I will perform Stormwater: Life in the Gutter. During the month of May I will install an exhibit of stormwater related photo-prose stories and maps in an office trailer in Center Square (behind Experience Music Project).

Performances will be held in the trailer:

Fridays - May 4, 11, 18 @ 7pm

Saturdays - May 5, 12, 19 @ 1pm.

Additional performances at SIFF Cinema at the Seattle Center - Friday, May 25 @ 6 pm and Satruday, May 26 @ noon. SIFF is located at the Seattle Center, Northwest Rooms (formerly the Alki Room) just south of the Seattle Repertory Theater and next to the Vera Project.

All performances are free and open to the public.

Commissioned by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, the project was made possible with SPU 1% for Art funds and support from 4Culture.

Your Bus Stories

As part of a project about the METRO bus experience, I would like to hear your tales of riding the bus. To share your story please click here. I am also interviewing bus drivers to hear what it's like to navigate through the city.
