I love this time of year! For one, I love the constant threat of snowfall bringing our entire infrastructure down to a grinding halt—for real! I love how it yields a slower paced life. I love hunkering down on the couch, underneath blankets, and binge-watching a bunch of content that guarantees happy endings (not that kind, pervs). Sometimes, we just need that dopamine hit. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
“The Nutcracker” at PNB is a chance for representation & community
When Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) first came to his school when he was in the third grade, Zeheng Huang didn’t know what kind of dancing they did.
“Slumberland”: As much about the waking as the dream world
If I were the same age as “Slumberland’s” heroine, Nemo, perhaps around 12, this would have instantly become my new favorite fantasy movie. Netflix’s “Slumberland” has everything that a movie for youngsters on the cusp of adulthood should have—imagination, humor, enigmatic fantastical creatures, and dreams—everything we need to escape the hardships of real life.
Dancer Christopher D’Ariano talks about his career and PNB’s “The Seasons’ Canon”
“I started dancing hip hop and gymnastics at a studio a block away from my family’s Chinese restaurant in the Bronx, New York,” Christopher D’Ariano, dancer at Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB), told the Weekly

Julie Kim brings the funny stuff from way up north
Julie Kim grew up in Toronto, and learned culture from a Korean-Canadian point of view.
Tan Dun’s “Buddha Passion” beguiles ears, minds, and hearts
Witnessing Tan Dun’s “Buddha Passion” is like being in a Tibetan Buddhist temple, being in a Christian house of worship, and being in the church of Nature, all at the same time.
In “The Menu,” revenge has multiple courses and even the hot dishes are cold
In “The Menu,” directed by Mark Mylod and starring Ralph Fiennes as chef Julian Slowak and Hong Chau as his loyal majordomo, Elsa, doom and discomfort are what’s for dinner.
Soundgarden founder Hiro Yamamoto honored at Asian Hall of Fame
He’s traveled the world playing music. The band he helped found came to embody the grunge style, and they’ve sold more than 30 million records worldwide.
“Blockbuster” TV show nostalgic about movie rental era — if you remember it
Netflix released its new comedy TV series, “Blockbuster,” on Nov 3. It was ranked number seven in TV shows on the streaming service over its release weekend—although I’d attribute a lot of that to newness.
