Baby Ketten Karaoke @ Skylark Café & Club9:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Baby Ketten Karaoke starts at 9 pm at Skylark Café & Club. Details on Baby Ketten and songlists here.
“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Based in Switzerland, the artist travels worldwide with his Tibetan lute, singing the songs of the 6th Dalai Lama, Milarepa, as well as other traditional songs of Tibet and his own music. He connects songs of the past to the reality of the present, taking his audience on a journey
through the landscape of Tibetan spirituality.On May 16, 2012, Namling began what he called A Journey for Freedom – One Man, One Path, Tibet. He walked from the Swiss capital of Bern to Geneva, dragging a black coffin inscribed “Free Tibet,” in order to attract attention to the Tibetans’ worsening situation in today’s China. On July 8 he arrived in Geneva, where he performed with the Swiss band The Young Gods in a concert organized by Young Gods singer Franz Treichler in support of Loten’s action, held in front of Geneva UN headquarters.
In October 2012, Namling was given the Free Spirit Award in McLeod Ganj for his “Journey of Freedom” march.

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

K-5 STEM PTA meeting to discuss potential permanent campus @ Boren School7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
January 15, 2013 at 7:00 pm in the Boren School cafeteria, the K-5 STEM PTA meeting will have special guests to talk about the school’s potential permanent campus.
From Carmela Dellino, Executive Director of Schools – West Seattle Region:
HelloThank you for your email. Thank you also for all you and the parent community have contributed to making the launch of K-5 STEM such a success. We know that what makes a successful school is all members of the community working together on behalf of the students. Your school has quickly emerged as a strong academic program, established specifically in the West Seattle region, due to over-capacity concerns and the demand for focused curriculum and instruction in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
I understand how stressful and frustrating it might be that there is not yet a decision regarding West Seattle STEM’s final home. I want you to know that I have always supported West Seattle STEM and will continue to do so. I watched as your vision and mission statement was crafted and am working with Dr. McKinney and her team as she develops the strategic plan.
We have asked to participate in your PTA meeting scheduled on January 15, 2013 at 7:00 pm in the cafeteria. This will be an opportunity to have District staff, School Board Director Marty McLaren, and the STEM parents/guardians discuss the options available, the limitations we face, and your concerns and ideas. As you most likely are aware, West Seattle STEM will continue to be at the Boren site for the 2013 – 2014 school year. Our discussion will focus on the permanent location.
I look forward to meeting you on January 15th. May your winter break be restful and filled with joy.
Sincerely,
Carmela Dellino

Baby Ketten Karaoke @ Skylark Café & Club9:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Baby Ketten Karaoke starts at 9 pm at Skylark Café & Club. Details on Baby Ketten and songlists here.
“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Global Lens Film Screening: ‘Fat, Bald, Short Man’ @ West Seattle (Admiral) Library2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Global Lens Film Screening: “Fat, Bald, Short Man” at the West Seattle (Admiral) Library, 2:00 pm, Sunday January 27th.

Library events and programs are free and everyone is welcome. Registration is not required. Doors open at 1:30 pm.
More about the film:
“Fat, Bald, Short Man (Gordo, Calvo Y Bajito)”
Lonesome, middle-aged virgin Antonio Farfán is picked on and ridiculed as a matter of course, whether by coworkers or his bullying mooch of a brother (who only calls when he needs money). An employee of a notary’s office, his status improves a bit when his new boss — and strangely affable doppelganger — takes an interest in him.Yet Farfán’s deep-seated shyness and insecurity are only partly assuaged. When he joins a self-improvement group, he slowly confirms what the undulating lines of this story (animated by rotoscoping) suggest: everything is in motion, and change is inevitable. The question becomes what use one makes of it.
Director: Carlos Osuna
Country: Columbia
Language: Spanish, with subtitles in English
Year: 2011
Length: 91 minutesThe Global Lens film series supports the distribution of unique and critically acclaimed cinematic works from around the world. Since its founding, the series has provided a platform for exceptional storytelling and opened a window in the diverse world in which we live.
Now in its ninth year, Global Lens continues to attract dynamic audiences and discover extraordinary new films, building upon the unique perspectives that have come to define the Global Film Initiative’s library of films.

Healthy Planet Nutrition’s Purest Protein Products will assist in revitalizing your inner youth while helping you achieve maximum health.
Whey Protein is a 100% natural nutritional protein supplement. It is perfect for adults and children, to take before or between meals to help manage hunger and energy levels. Healthy Planet is a premium biologically active whey protein. It is produced to maintain the range of fragile immunemodulating and regenerative components naturally present in fresh milk. It is GMO-free, hormone-treatment-free and undergoes minimal processing. The milk for this product is derived from cows that graze year-round on pesticide-free, chemical-free, natural grass pastures.
Colostrum is a natural immune system enhancer. Colostrum is beneficial to general health and is known to raise both general immunity and physical strength.
Glutamine is an amino acid that is a building block to protein, and it is an important nutrient with multiple health benefits. The key to building lean muscles is protein metabolism and, following a strenuous workout, the body needs glutamine for recovery and muscle growth. Glutamine is also a natural antioxidant vital to the function of a healthy immune system, as antioxidants neutralize the free radical activity in the body. Glutamine is a super nutrient for digestive health and is also commonly referred to as brain fuel, as it supports mental energy and function.

At the Metropolitan Market (WSB sponsor) Sunday January 20, 4:00—6:00 pm:
Iridology or iris readings for your health and booksigning provided by Tierney Salter, founder of The Herbalist. Tierney will sign her new book, Flourish: Go-To Guide for Herbal Medicine.
Iridology is a practice that examines patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris that may be able to indicate a client’s systemic health status. Practitioners match their observations to iris charts, which divide the iris into zones that correspond to specific parts of the human body. Iridologists use the charts to distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those that are overactive, inflamed, or distressed. Iridologists believe this information demonstrates a patient’s susceptibility towards certain illnesses, reflects past medical problems, or predicts later health problems.
Flourish: Go-To Guide for Herbal Medicine
This book will help you flourish with herbal formulas, single herb extracts, and essential oils. Learn about common health conditions and the holistic approach. Discover diagnostic tools that uncover root sources. Read about how to follow an anti-inflammatory diet and make healthy dietary choices.4:00 pmBooksigning: “Flourish: Go-To Guide for Herbal Medicine” @ Metropolitan Market -

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

Come join Sustainable West Seattle’s Annual Membership meeting 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Tuesday, January 22nd, at the West Seattle Senior Center, 4217 SW Oregon St., around the corner from California Ave. SW.
At our membership meeting you’ll hear about SWS programs for 2013 and ways that you can get involved as a volunteer. We will be encouraging attendees to join SWS as a member and describing the benefits that SWS has brought our community over the last year. We’ll be spending time listening to all attendees about what ideas you have for SWS and West Seattle for 2013. What type of projects and efforts should our organization be involved in?
At this meeting you’ll also meet the new Board for the 2013 year. We have 3 board members leaving; Christina Hahs, Patrick Dunn, and Amanda Goodwin. We are excited to have at least 5 new (and returning) board members joining us: Bryan Fiedorczyk, Kimberly Leeper, Stu Hennessy, Denis Martynowych, and Kate Kaemerle! These new and returning members will join Chas Redmond, Bill Reiswig, and Melissa Metcalf who will remain on the Board.
You will also learn about an exciting new project of SWS for 2013. Our February meeting will kick-off this new project, and we will be describing it at this January Meeting. It’s called 2013 SWS Green Project Incubator, a $1000 grant, generously donated from the CoHo Team of Windermere Agents, that SWS will offer to a West Seattle resident who applies with an idea to foster sustainability in our neighborhood.
Finally, this meeting will retire early, at the completion of the above-mentioned agenda, to Elliot Bay Brewery for beer, tea, or your favorite beverage, and a short and uplifting celebration of the work of our departing Board Members Patrick Dunn, Amanda Goodwin, and our President Christina Hahs.

Baby Ketten Karaoke @ Skylark Café & Club9:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Baby Ketten Karaoke starts at 9 pm at Skylark Café & Club. Details on Baby Ketten and songlists here.
“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Shirley Valentine @ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
“Shirley Valentine” at the ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery runs January 23 through February 16, 2013.
January 22 — Pay What You Can Preview
Showtimes: Wednesdays — Saturdays at 7:30 pm
Sundays January 27 and February 3 at 3:00 pmTickets: $34.50 Adults / $34.00 Seniors / $12.00 (Under 25) / $10.00 TPS members
Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Shirley Valentine @ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
“Shirley Valentine” at the ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery runs January 23 through February 16, 2013.
January 22 — Pay What You Can Preview
Showtimes: Wednesdays — Saturdays at 7:30 pm
Sundays January 27 and February 3 at 3:00 pmTickets: $34.50 Adults / $34.00 Seniors / $12.00 (Under 25) / $10.00 TPS members
Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”

You do a quick line check, introduce yourself to the audience, and get right to performing your 15-minute set (three songs is a good estimate since that includes set up and break down time).
Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.
We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

Community forum: The Stages of Homelessness @ St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Friday, Feb. 1st, 6 pm at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church
People do not suddenly become chronically homeless. Often circumstances beyond their control cause a downward spiral in which the barriers to re-housing grow at every turn.Until recently, the focus has been on those who are living in shelters or on the street. But the rising tide of homelessness are now families “sofa surfing” or living out of their cars. The Safe Parking Community Network, a vehicle resident outreach organization, invites everyone interested in finding better solutions to a forum on the Stages of Homelessness here in West Seattle:
Alison Eisinger, Seattle King County Coalition on Homelessness, will speak about homelessness locally. Learn about some of the root causes that bring about homelessness, how most families start out camping in their cars, and what we can do about it.
Dinner is included. Starts at 6 pm, program at 6:30 pm. Donations of non-perishables for local food banks are welcome.

Performance Workshop with Athena Nation @ Higland Park Improvement Club10:00 am – 2:30 pm
Workshop One: Fight or Flight?
Come to the workshop!
Saturday, Feb 2nd, 2013
at the Highland Park Improvement Club
10 am-2:30 pm
Cost: $100Having trouble getting it on paper or getting on stage?
Me, too!I had to construct a way for me to work through my fear and ended up creating improv poetry. Only, I created it AS I was just getting onto poetry stages in 1997. I had to create a way for my voice to literally emerge from me that didn’t sound like everybody else on stage and was true to my craft. Improv, Stand-up comedy, and Slam broke me down, then built me up. They helped me learn not to be afraid (okay, less afraid) of that damn microphone and audience. It got me to concentrate on why I was there: My work. My writing.
I want to show you some techniques and exercises in writing and stage work to help you simply feel comfortable. This will include reading, editing, rewriting, and performing in front of your classmates. The goal, though, is to get you on stage with an audience and a microphone.
I also work one-on-one with people if you’re not ready for a group dynamic. Hey – I’m not a fan, either, but collaboration and healthy critique are valuable skin-thickeners!
Come to the workshop!

Global Lens Film Screening: ‘The Finger’ @ Delridge Library2:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Global Lens Film Screening: ‘The Finger’ at the Delridge Library, 2:00 pm, Saturday February 2nd. Join us for a screening of the Argentinian film, “The Finger.” This movie is part of the Global Lens series, which includes 10 award-winning narrative feature films from Albania, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Rwanda and Turkey. Library events and programs are free and everyone is welcome. Registration is not required. Doors open at 1:30 pm.
More about the film:
“The Finger (El Dedo)”
After seven years of dictatorship, a remote village in Argentina formally becomes a town with the birth of its 501st inhabitant. Hidalgo, a slick and ingratiating scion, is eager for the new post of mayor. Smelling a rat, Baldomero (a beloved natural leader with a habitually tapping digit) opposes him with his own candidacy — and soon turns up dead. His shopkeeper brother vows revenge, keeping Baldomero’s severed finger in a jar, initially as a remembrance, but eventually as an absurd icon of leadership that spurs the town to defy Hidalgo, crooked elections and interloping powers as the town goes its own way. Based on real events, this charming dramatic comedy pokes fun at small town ways while celebrating true democratic values.Director: Sergio Teubal
Country: Argentina
Language: Spanish, with subtitles in English
Year: 2011
Length: 93 minutesThe Global Lens film series supports the distribution of unique and critically acclaimed cinematic works from around the world. Since its founding, the series has provided a platform for exceptional storytelling and opened a window in the diverse world in which we live.
Now in its ninth year, Global Lens continues to attract dynamic audiences and discover extraordinary new films, building upon the unique perspectives that have come to define the Global Film Initiative’s library of films.

Box Office: Online at www.artswest.org or (206) 938-0339, Tues-Sat, Noon-7pmArtsWest Presents Heather Hawkins in SHIRLEY VALENTINE
Shirley Valentine is a witty and insightful story of a middle-aged working class Liverpool housewife who is transformed by a surprise holiday in the Greek islands. A Laurence Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy in 1988 and Tony Award nominee for Best Play, the one-woman play stars Footlight Award winner Heather Hawkins. Shirley Valentine runs from January 23 — February 16, 2013 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery in West Seattle.
Shirley’s life, stagnant and in a rut, takes a rare turn when her best friend buys tickets for a trip to Greece and invites her along. Like Eat, Pray, Love, the trip takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, soul-searching, love, and renewal. Inspiring and
heartwarming without being syrupy, Shirley Valentine is a surprisingly powerful, memorable and authentic character and story.Named recently among the “most influential postwar British plays” by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Shirley Valentine was written by Willy Russell, one of Britain’s most successful modern playwrights. Russell is also author of Blood Brothers, which closed November 2012, as well as Educating Rita. Both Rita and Shirley have also been turned into very successful films. Russell’s work has won wide acclaim as well as numerous stage and screen awards.
Heather Hawkins (Footlight Award Winner for As Bees in Honey Drown) stars in the title role. A long-time Seattle-based performer, Hawkins first appeared at ArtsWest in 2006 as Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s musical Blood Brothers, directed by Christopher Zinovitch. She then followed that with the 2006 Footlight Award Winning performance as Alexa in As Bees in Honey Drown. Heather has also appeared in Measure for Pleasure, Bat Boy: The Musical, The Sweetest Swing in Baseball, and On the Verge at ArtsWest. Other Seattle credits include work at Seattle Public Theater: Mauritius, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, End Days, The Winter’s Tale, and Betrayal. Seattle Shakespeare Company Wooden O: Othello, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Julius Caesar. She has also graced the stages of Book-it Repertory Theatre, Taproot Theatre, the Village Theatre, ACT, Mirror Stage Company and Our American Theater.
“I love this play because Shirley is such a strong woman. In my mind she is the Fool in King Lear — wise, but because of her status no one listens to her, including herself,” notes show director Christopher Zinovitch. “But the stories and wisdom she imparts speak to all of us, regardless of age or gender.”
