Always fun happenings at the Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center. This coming Saturday, January 17th, the Tiptons Sax Quartet and Drums presents Mythunderstandings:
398979_4687667147039_894621784_n-403x400An Oral History-Driven, Multi-Media Performance
This collaborative performance features an award-winning creative team: film maker Adam Sekuler and director Lisa Halpern, with the Tiptons Sax Quartet collaborating with Coastal Salish story-teller/musician Paul ‘Che oke ten’ Wagner.

Mythunderstandings explores the common threads of our individual experiences and the myths we tell ourselves and each other to make sense of them.  How do people deal with Fate, Superstition, Love, Death and other facets of the Human Experience?

The heart of this audio/visual feast is centered around personal stories recorded from a diverse range of people— including a hoarder, a refugee, an adoptee, a bank teller, several grand mothers, and a northwest Salish tribe member, whose tales are woven together into a provocative tapestry of video and live music, presented with humor and pathos.

The Tiptons Sax Quartet:

  • Amy Denio: alto sax, clarinet, accordion, voice
  • Jessica Lurie: alto & tenor sax, flute, accordion, voice
  • Sue Orfield: tenor sax, piano, voice
  • Tobi Stone: baritone sax, voice
  • Tarik Abouzied: drums and percussion
  • Paul ‘Che oke ten’ Wagner: tribal drum, cedar flutes, voice, stories

This project was developed with support in part by 4Culture. www.4culture.org.

Show’s at 8 pm, tickets are by donation, sliding scale, $5 – $20.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
