An evening at Velocity on Sunday, October 20, 2018. The Midsummer, by Beth Terwilleger, is a new work for her new dance company, The Gray, here in Seattle. I find it appropriate that her double-debut is the subject of my first article for the Seattle Central Collegian. Because I arrived…

Seattle Central College is home to many diverse artists, some with a rich personal history of involvement with the arts.

So, a new year, a new batch of students who don’t know basic elevator etiquette. I went over this a little in a previous op-ed, but my observations in the first few weeks of the quarter leads me to write about this topic again. You all don’t seem to realize…
