The Daipan Butoh Collective in Seattle present their annual outdoor, Wandering & Wondering, in Seattle's Kubota Gardens.
Kubota is the original family home and nursery of Fujitaro Kubota. https://kubotagarden.org/fujitaroremembered.html It is now a city park and free. If you are in Portland, the Portland Japanese Garden curator has been advising them and his rock work is identifiable by sytle.
This year the performers are dispersed, compared to previous years where they were in one spot. Performers are Joan Laage, Dhyana Garcia, Kaoru Okumura, Amy Ward, Bruce Fogg, Leatha McKenzie, Alycia Scott Zollinger, Julie Becton Gillum, Michael Shannon, and David Stanford.
Parking can be fierce, so share those rides. Secure valuables in vehicles out of sight.
