Welcome to Seattle Center
máaxo'ob chan (Who are we) is a collaborative dance that features Alfonso Cervera, Emily Vazquez, Margaux Gex, Rodrick Barnes, Giordana Falzone, and text by writer Sam Finger who revel in re-imagined situations of marginalization. Combining various aesthetics, movements, and improvisational strategies, the dancers navigate structures and dynamics that ask them to collaborate and build the material in the moment through labor, endurance, and rigor.

Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.
Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on a newly revitalized Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected through an open application process with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, cultural demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
