In By Heart, Portuguese playwright and actor Tiago Rodrigues teaches a poem to 10 people.

Over the years, I’ve asked artists, producers, and directors their stance on art as social responsibility. Not one has put it as plainly as Jerome A. Parker, mastermind behind House of Dinah.  On a rainy Seattle Saturday, I sat down to converse with Jerome regarding his take on the project and how it acts as a catalyst for exposing Northwest audiences to marginalized stories.

C'est vrai - a few Seattle papers are recommending this weekend's performance by Christian Rizzo, Sophie Laly and Lori Goldston. Here's what's come out so far:

"Dance, dance dance! Rizzo, Horvitz and Velocity in Seattle" - Seattle Times

"J'adore the French freak-auteur Christian Rizzo..." - The Stranger
