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.

July 18 Skate Fight Love Club
The Boedecker Foundation is project of the late Sandy Boedecker who founded the big shoe company's skate business. Skylab built a fantastic building for the foundation. It hosts youth arts programs. They have a professional recording studio built out by Chris Funk. He moved on to build a studio in Iceland. The main space is filled by a skate bowl. It is like the empty SoCal swimming pools occupied by the mid-1970s Zepher skate crew who brought surfing movement to skating. The space hosts occasional cultural events.
Tonight they show the film Fight Club. It is based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk. Palahniuk has lived in Oregon since college and is a champion of the working class. He documented his own shenanigans among the about early 1990s Portland Cacophony Society, in Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon. He has been a prolific writer and he is a supporter of new fiction writers.
He had been camping, was assauted, returning to work at Freightliner, none of his coworkers asked about his injuries, he concluded they did not care, inspiring the book.
Fight Club tells the story of the narrator and Tyler Durden. Durden is the founder of the Fight Club and fights corporations on the side. The narrator has a corporate job protecting a major automaker from liability. The two characters are the same person, a projection of the narrator. It is visually rich, dark, and worth a watch. The rules of the Flight Club are a cultural meme many know and reuse.
The event is free, but the tickets are consumed. Get on Boedecker announcments for future events.

July 4 Independence Community
My observation from my work overseas is that when you have layers of colonizers, the earlier layer it assumes victimhood by the new layer, and discounts their own bad behavior. It is perpetuated by identity gridlock. So there is a lot of discussion of what independance was to who at various times. Happy personal independence day!
