Series - Live Shows
Live Music
** a night of music, poetry, and film with K. Van Petten & friends **
ABOUT:
Join us for a double release show & screening for the video poem For Jumping made after K. Van Pettens newly released cassette tape For Someone. There will be live music, poetry, and the debut screening of For Jumping followed by a short Q&A with the creators.
Van Petten created For Someone in Port Townsend, Washington where they sampled sounds, wrote music, and recorded poetry in residence with Centrum at Fort Worden. The tape is available for purchase online via Hello America Stereo Cassette, or at The Vera Projects cassette tape vending machine. The short film For Jumping is a video poem, exploring moments of jumping the railing. Prints from the short film will be available for purchase via donation to Centrum.
This event proudly supports Centrum Residences, the non-profit that made this work possible. Centrum envisions a future where anyone from anywhere can nurture their creativity in an environment that is supportive, challenging and uplifting building a world of greater inclusion through the arts. All proceeds from tickets and merch sales will be donated to Centrum.
Words on For Someone:
This album does the very best of what poetry and sound can do. I listened to the first half in the car, on my way to work, and all day what Id heard made a little refrain inside me. Made me feel more alive, comforted. I listened to the second half on my way home, and I wept, but in that way that heals. This album is a vital thing, and I mean that both ways. Alive, and necessary. For Someone is a wound, a door, a balm. Nicole Morning
The music- gentle and light as air, a tapestry of earthy sound. The words are illuminating like sunshine after a long night. There is a benevolence to these 11 pieces of writing that will stick with you long after listening. For Someone is in fact for someone for you, for me, for anyone who needs it, and I feel certain a very large number of people need this encouraging, sweet, magical creature of a debut album. Adam Gnade

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
