"Double Vision" is curated by Tracey Fugami, independent Seattle based curator. Columbia City Gallery is located at 4854 Ranier Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98118. (206) 760-9843.

Name: | George Bellah | Hometown: | Department: | Theatre Arts |
| News: | George Bellah recently traveled with a contingency of 30 American professors to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The trip, coordinated by the United Institute for Theatre Technology, focused on the theatre, dance, costumes, and puppetry of those regions. “What was most striking to me was the vast cultural difference between those nations and the U.S.,” says Bellah. “The juxtaposition of abject poverty and lavish wealth was staggering. But in all three nations we witnessed an incredible level of discipline and commitment that all of the artists bring to their art.” Bellah will be giving several presentations on his travels both on campus and at local grade schools. He will also incorporate his experiences into a new Asian Drama course, and has begun writing an extensive account of his experiences.
