Today's performance features circus arts by Oroki Productions. May 30, 6pm, Armory Stage. Free

Six Asian American Circus artists perform an acrobatic family dinner in Rice on Repeat: An AAPI Circus.

Acrobats will set the table, serve the rice, and share their life stories through dance and circus arts. It's an ordinary routine full of extraordinary acts: handstands on the lazy susan, bowls of rice served from a flying pole, and a chosen family celebrating their shared experiences through movement. The relatable moment when you forget to set the rice is suddenly a game of partner acrobatics as we wait for dinner to be ready.

Today! presents From BNA to SEA: From one music city to another.
May 29, Armory. Free

Musical artists Stephcynie, Jared Mitchell, and S-Wrap did their time in Music City — and now they're in Seattle. BNA to SEA is their first introduction to a city with its own deep musical identity — grunge, jazz, and everything in between.
This is a show about what happens when Nashville's less obvious sound lands in the Pacific Northwest. When artists transplant to a new city, find their footing, and continue their vision.

will present an exciting music performance on May 29th in Seattle Center Armory. Free.
From BNA to SEA: From one music city to another.

When people hear Nashville, they think of music about truck stops and that southern twang. But Nashville isn't called Music City because of one genre. It earned that name from being a hub for music creation. All types of music.
Stephcynie, Jared Mitchell, and S-Wrap did their time in Music City — and now they're in Seattle. BNA to SEA is their first introduction to a city with its own deep musical identity — grunge, jazz, and everything in between.
