An Oral History-Driven, Multi-Media Performance
This collaborative performance features an award-winning creative team: film maker Adam Sekuler and director Lisa Halpern, with the Tiptons Sax Quartet collaborating with Coastal Salish story-teller/musician Paul ‘Che oke ten’ Wagner.Mythunderstandings explores the common threads of our individual experiences and the myths we tell ourselves and each other to make sense of them. How do people deal with Fate, Superstition, Love, Death and other facets of the Human Experience?
The heart of this audio/visual feast is centered around personal stories recorded from a diverse range of people— including a hoarder, a refugee, an adoptee, a bank teller, several grand mothers, and a northwest Salish tribe member, whose tales are woven together into a provocative tapestry of video and live music, presented with humor and pathos.

- Amy Denio: alto sax, clarinet, accordion, voice
- Jessica Lurie: alto & tenor sax, flute, accordion, voice
- Sue Orfield: tenor sax, piano, voice

- Tarik Abouzied: drums and percussion
