Welcome to Seattle Center
Two dancers traverse parts of the Seattle Center. They play with the landscape they see and the one they imagine, attempt to tell each other jokes without words, and wonder if melting into the scenery itself is possible. Raw and Sunny is a surreal exploration of context and place, physical conversation, and external/internal landscapes via the moving body.
The audience will begin the performance at International Fountain then travel with the dancers across campus.
Created and Performed by Giordana Falzone and Grace Yi-Li Tong

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 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.
