“Buy Local” signs or stickers are in the window of some shops you walk by. Maybe you have seen an advertisement for the local Sunday farmers market. No matter how big or small the city you live in, local goods and services are always available.

Once a year, Active Entertainment hosts an event that brings Seattle’s creative communities of art, music, dance, entertainment and fashion together to create a collaborative performance known as AMDEF. This event was created as a community building effort where the blending of artistic genres strengthens our local creative culture by exposing both artists and attendees to new mediums of entertainment.
One of the greatest and most powerful aspects of the Cascadia movement is bringing passionate people together to collaborate and advance change in our region. It is through collaborating with others that our perspective grow and innovative ideas arise. This is what makes events such as AMDEF so powerful. When talented individuals from very different creative disciplines come together to share their different perspectives and collaborate, it results in an experience you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
Be sure to check out this year’s AMDEF production as it returns to Neumos on September 17th. For more information on who will be performing or to purchase tickets head to the AMDEF Facebook page.

Something so simple yet epic: putting a human against nature in such a dramatic way,” Wilson said.
