SUMMARY:White and Wrong
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, I’ve written short essays in response to artworks produced by white artists\, works exhibited and distributed through major art-world projects (the LA Art Book Fair\, the Whitney Biennial\, and the Walker’s sculpture garden). Each of these artworks were meant\, by the artists\, to be\, in some way\, “about racism.” Here\, I’ll share this writing with an eye towards developing it into something more formal — perhaps teachable. The question — the hesitation — for me is: how to stage a conversation like this without centering discussion of anti-racist art practices on the work of white artists — and\, too\, how to confront racism in work about racism.  \nFraming this conversation with E.J. Hill’s work should support a different kind of conversation — one which takes shape in the space opened up by the act of calling out — calling out\, dialing in — pushing through — imagining art\, embodiment and abstraction so differently that\, perhaps\, what we have been taught to think of as art falls apart — collapses into a wood pile. \n— Jennifer Doyle

SUMMARY:Dialectics of Isolation
DESCRIPTION:Dialectics of Isolation \nCrystal Sepúlveda\nAngie Jennings\nRebeca Hernandez\nArtemisa Clark \nIn 1980\, Ana Mendieta curated Dialectics of Isolation: An Exhibition of Third World Women Artists of the United States at New York’s A.I.R. Gallery. The catalogue’s introduction describes the show as pointing “not necessarily to the injustice or incapacity of a society that has not been willing to include us\, but more towards a personal will to continue being ‘other.’” Dancers Rebeca Hernandez and Crystal Sepúlveda and performance artists Angie Jennings and Artemisa Clark will perform works that take as their starting point this “personal will to continue being ‘other\,’” via themes found in Mendieta’s work more generally – land\, ritual\, national (un)belonging. \nThis night was organized by Artemisa Clark and is part of ¡Mendieta Vive!\, an initiative facilitating Ana Mendieta-related events in and around Los Angeles. \nImage: Crystal Sepúlveda\, strands\, film still from the river knows

SUMMARY:The Prison In Twelve Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Screening + Pop Up Panel presented by critical resistance: \nMore people are imprisoned in the United States at this moment than in any other time or place in history\, yet the prison itself has never felt further away or more out of sight. The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is a film about the prison in which we never see a penitentiary. Instead\, the film unfolds as a cinematic journey through a series of landscapes across the USA where prisons affect lives\, from a California mountainside where female prisoners fight raging wildfires\, to a Bronx warehouse full of goods destined for the state correctional system\, to an Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.  \nCritical Resistance Los Angeles is hosting a screening of the film followed by a pop-up panel of local organizers who are fighting for a Los Angeles free of policing\, imprisonment and displacement: Pete White (Los Angeles Community Action Network)\, Laura Pulido (Chicana Studies Author and Professor)\, a member of Defend Boyle Heights\, Amber-Rose Howard (Californians United for a Responsible Budget)\, Xela de la X (Cihuatl CE of Ovarian Psycos Bicycle Brigade; Founders of autonomous community organizing space in BH – La Conxa and active members of the coalition DBH) \n$5 – $15 suggested donation\nNo one will be turned away for lack of funds \nPlease RSVP to crla@criticalresistance.org

SUMMARY:Looking at Performance: Guts\, Lust and Kinks
DESCRIPTION:A screening and discussion of the work of Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky\, \nwith Doran George\, Johanna Went\, Christine Wertheim\, and Mark Wheaton. \nIn celebration of X-TRA’s summer issue\, a discussion and screening about looking at performance through the work of Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky. \nJoin us for this special program with the artist Johanna Went\, her collaborator Mark Wheaton\, and issue contributors Christine Wertheim and Doran George. \nBoth Wertheim and George take up positions of enamored spectatorship\, presenting carefully crafted responses to the exuberant performance work of their subjects (Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky\, respectively). Bodies figure prominently—sexy\, messy and alluring. \nWertheim ends : “Johanna Went is a Dionysian genius\, a Siren whose irresistible song cannot help but lure us into the temptations of ecstatic\, participatory\, and brave self-annihilation.” Went was a fixture on the 80s punk scene in LA\, performing over 200 times between 1978 and 1988. \nGeorge begins his letter to Michael Turinsky\, the Artist’s Project in this issue: “Dear Michael\, You are hot and I want to have sex with you…” This letter thus consciously opens up pleasure\, sensation\, and desire as strategies for thinking—or should I say feeling—about dance\, disability\, sexual culture\, and social power.” The letter is in reaction to a performance by Michael Turinsky\, My body\, your pleasure (2014) that George saw in Germany. \nDon’t miss this foray into 80s punk\, desire\, disability\, fake blood\, and beats. \nAbout the participants: \nDoran George PhD is a cultural historian writing on sexual culture\, avant-garde dance\, and performance. They are also a performance artist and choreographer who deconstructs socio-political identity categories\, stages work that builds micro-communities\, and cultivates radical practices of intimacy. George’s artwork and scholarship is represented in art books\, Oxford University Press anthologies\, and journals. George currently lectures in Disability Studies and LGBTQ Studies at University of California\, Los Angeles\, and teaches erotic work in both art and sex-positive contexts. \nJohanna Went is an American performance artist who primarily works in the Los Angeles area. She started her career in the late 1970s as musician in the punk scene. Music is still an important element of her shows. She has often worked with musician Mark Wheaton\, whose fast\, rhythmic music beats provide the background noise in several of her performances. Further predominant elements of Went’s shows are the use of elaborate costumes\, which Went herself creates from various found objects\, and the use of artificial blood. The latter played an especially important role in her early work. Went’s performances are not strictly text-based. She typically works based on a sketch that determines the rough sequence of actions\, but leaves much room for improvisation. Went rarely uses language in her shows as means of communication. She rather sings\, screams\, whines and murmurs\, thus rendering large parts of the spoken words incomprehensible. (From wikipedia) \nChristine Wertheim’s books include three poetic suites\, the book of ME\, mUtter-bAbel\, and +|’me’S-pace; three edited literary anthologies\, Feminaissance\, The n/Oulipean Analects\, and Séance\, the last two with Matias Viegener; and Crochet Coral Reef\, with Margaret Wertheim\, about their decade-long art-science-feminist-community project. She has received grants from the Annenberg and Orphiflamme Foundations\, and teaches at the California Institute of the Arts. \nMark Wheaton has been composing music since he began collaborating with performance artist Johanna Went in the early 1980’s. In addition to composing for performance art projects\, Mark spends most of his time as the recording engineer for the studio Catasonic located in Echo Park\, California. \nPresented by X-TRA \nimage: Johanna Went performing at the Hong Kong Café\, Los Angeles\, 1979.

SUMMARY:Encounter #37
DESCRIPTION:Since July 2012\, a group of Los Angeles performance artists (and international guests passing through town) have met regularly to engage in a practice called Encounter\, organized by Peruvian American performance artist Mariel Carranza. Encounter is a space where we encounter each other\, ourselves\, and the space itself. We perform with and for one another within given conditions. There is no preparation\, no agenda (and generally\, no “audience”). Things unfold on their own. We agree that there will be no idle observers; everyone is active in the space. \nEncounter has been invited to perform in REDCAT’s International Festival of Live Art and Performance as part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA in January 2018. 6 Latin American and European artists will fly to Los Angeles\, joining 13 local artists in 8 hours of unscripted collaborative performance. For this reason\, Encounter is doing this show as a fundraiser. The film Same Difference: Equinox to Equinox\, a global performance convened by Bbeyond will be screened. \nThe public performance will be followed by a shared dinner (beginning at roughly 8pm).  \n$20 suggested or pay-what-you-can at the door\, or at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3046662. \nParticipating artists:\nMariel Carranza\nPaul Outlaw\nSebastian Hernandez\nAllison Wyper\nRebeca Hernandez\nCarol McDowell\nDouglas Green\nDoran George\nRochelle Fabb\nRossen Ventzislavov\nDorian Wood\nJohn Burtle\nSamuel White \n image: Carol McDowell\, Rossen Ventzislavov and Dorian Wood\nPhoto by Tyler Matthew Oyer

SUMMARY:Tino Sehgal (Untitled)(2000) - danced by Frank Willens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 10th 2017\, 8:00pm \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept: Tino Sehgal\nDanced by: Frank Willens \nThis presentation contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nHow can a society learn from choreographers? (Untitled) (2000) depicts an image of a world where dance and choreography can inspire a society. Originally conceived for stage and danced by Tino Sehgal himself\, the solo remains in the cultural memory as a “museum of dance.” The space of this museum does not contain objects\, but movements and gestures of iconic dance styles.  \nWith the mere presence of his body (unaccompanied by music\, and without a set)\, Frank Willens allows new spaces to emerge for new readings and interpretations. What is the task of theater or museum in a society? Has the obsession for objects\, for material values reached its end? \nThe art of Tino Sehgal is immaterial; it takes shape in the moment in which the spectator encounters it. Since 2000\, he has been constructing live situations in which performers enter into contact with the visitors and spectators by way of movements\, conversations\, or song\, inviting them to influence the structure of the work. \nTino Sehgal Born in London in 1976\, Tino Sehgal studied economics and dance. In 2005\, he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale. The Guggenheim\, Tate Modern\, and dOCUMENTA (13) have also presented solo shows of his work. In 2013\, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece 60 minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017. \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States. \nInfo: +1 323 5253388 or Info@losangeles.goethe.org

SUMMARY:On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense - Frank Willens and Peter Stamer
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 11\, 2017 @ 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, August 12\, 2017 @ 5:30 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis.\nNO RSVP needed. \nConceived\, directed\, set and staged by Peter Stamer\nPerformed by Frank Willens\nText by Friedrich Nietzsche\nAbridged and re-translated from German into English by Peter Stamer & Frank Willens \nPosthumous fragments: In some remote corner of the universe that is poured out in countless flickering solar systems\, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the most arrogant and the most untruthful minute in ‘world history’ – yet indeed only a minute. After nature had taken a few breaths\, the star froze over and the clever animals had to die.\n(Friedrich Nietzsche\, 1873) \nIn the light of infinity\, the limited time a human being spends on this planet does appear tobe deplorable\, even ridiculous. Knowing about the futility of his existence\, man tries to comprehend life by means of language which locks him into the cage of concepts though. Language\, following Nietzsche\, denies access to the actual life of matter. Searching for knowledge about the world\, about truth\, about himself\, man gets lost in the woodwork of his own thinking. To put it casually: man becomes a blockhead\, unable to see what is there. Taking away the foundation of the boards that mean the world to him: this is what it means to live. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece sixty minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017 On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense is his 5th collaboration with Peter Stamer. \nPeter Stamer (DE/A) is a theatre maker in the context of contemporary performing arts. In his projects\, he is interested in exploring conditions for discursive and physical empowerment within given performative\, social and narrative apparatuses. Currently\, Peter is working on a theatrical and installative adaptation of Kafka’s story In the Penal Colony (to premiere in 2017). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States.

SUMMARY:60 Minutes towards being here - Frank Willens

NO RSVP needed. \nCreated and performed by Frank Willens.\nGuest musician: Klaus Janek \n… or this is probably going to be a downer\, or in lieu of addressing insurmountable graver circumstances\, or best to keep on believing\, or giddy-up\, cowboy\, or too old to be new\, or some more rituals from the discarded catalogue…the title can change\, but nothing is to be taken for granted…that’s another possibility\, nothing is to be taken for granted. \n60 Minutes towards being here is an encounter with the moment. It is a negotiation between fixed material and an ever-evolving situation whose conditions can’t be ignored\, a composition between a performer and a musician. Frank Willens sets the alarm for one hour and investigates the vast multiplicity of the given condition. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler.

SUMMARY:Dirty Vestiges - Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 17\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM\nFriday\, August 18\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept and Performance: Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger \nThis performance contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nIn this dirty art-making practice Simone and Michael invite a collection of commonly understood domestic forms of dirt to confederate and co-perform on a high gloss reflective surface. With dust\, hair\, fat\, blood\, ash\, pigment and skin a temporary printing station is activated that pays close attention to qualities of materials\, their desires and orientations towards bodies and their transformation through intimacy and movement. With a knowing wink but certain irreverence towards art-historical references they stage a close-up inquiry into both the happenstance and determinism of dirt transmission. Attraction and repulsion are mutual forces that go beyond the surface and play out in this sleazy cleaning/mess making fantasy. In an intensely concentrated environment and companioned by a queer alchemy of materials\, Michael and Simone practice touch and the narratives produced by the surplus of touching. Vestige research accentuates the potentiality and futurity of indelible traces and acts as a response to the so-called ephemerality of performance. \nCreated within the project DRECK: EIN APPARAT at Ufer Studios Berlin\, a project initiated and produced by Stephanie Wenner that examined dirt and the communion of all things through a new materialist perspective. \nSimone Aughterlony is an independent artist based and supported in Zurich and Berlin\, working predominantly in dance and performance contexts. Over more than decade\, Simone she has been devising and producing choreographic works. As a performer she has worked with artists such as Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods\, Forced Entertainment and Jorge León\, Phil Hayes amongst others. In 2015 «Supernatural»\, a collaboration with artists Antonija Livingstone and Hahn Rowe premiered in American Realness while in the same year the performance project «Uni * Form»\, devised by Jorge León and Simone premiered at Zuercher Theater Spektakel. Alongside an extensive tour of these works and the «Biofiction Trilogy»\, she is currently touring with Jen Rosenblit «Everything Fits In The Room»\, a commission from HAU Hebbel am Ufer and Haus der Kulturen der Welt.  \nEngaging with alternative forms of kinship inside her process\, new constellations of family emerge as possibilities for reconfiguring a culture of togetherness that fosters both familiar and unknown quantities. Her works playfully compose with representation and its saturation\, seeping into and embracing the phenomenology of mis-recognition and the absurd. Simone approaches the performance genre as a world-building practice where she navigates the contradiction between the domination of desire alongside the agency of all elements. \nMichael Günzburger is a visual artist living in Zürich\, working with methods of drawing and printing and research on the reference to the materials of used production. Collaborations with other fields of the arts\, sciences and crafts like performer Ntando Cele\, writers Lukas Bärfuss and Raphael Urweider\, Masterprinter Thomi Wolfensberger\, hunters\, gatherers\, virologists\, genetic scientist\, etc. has always been an important part of his work. His works have been shown in galleries\, museums\, public spaces and project spaces across the world such as the Zürcher Kunsthaus\, Kunstmuseum Bern\, Galleries in Mexico D.F.\, Sao Paulo\, New York\, Paris\, Bern and Zürich in solo and group shows. They found their way into many private and public collection\, and he has received a numerous fellowships and grants. He is a research fellow at the Institute for Contemporary Art and Research (IFCAR) at the University of the Arts in Zürich (ZHdK). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States

SUMMARY:MERCE (Maria Chavez/Shelley Burgon)\, Lucas Gorham
DESCRIPTION:MERCE is a duo comprised of harpist/electronic musician Shelley Burgon and turntablist Maria Chavez. Tracing it’s roots to the artists’ time in residence with the Merce Cunningham Dance company\, this project finds Maria and Shelley performing improvised pieces that employ loops and live processing. MERCE has performed at Issue Project Room\, MoMA PS1 and the Stone in New York City. This will be the duos’ first performance in Los Angeles. \nMaria Chavez is an avant-turntablist whose work has been known to focus on solo electric-acoustic sound pieces that use a collection of new and broken needles\, which she calls “pencils of sound.” Accidents\, coincidence and failures are themes that unite her sound sculptures\, installations and other works with her improvised solo turntable performance practice. \nShelley Burgon is a harpist\, composer and sound artist living and working in both NYC and CA. Shelley is currently a member in the chamber group Ne(x)tworks featuring Joan La Barbara and in Anthony Braxton’s Septet. As a soloist she performs ambient\, ethereal\, electronic music and enjoys making multichannel sound and light installations. \nLucas Gorham is an interdisciplinary artist whose work ranges from music (both pop and avant- forms) to conceptual art. Within the world of experimental music\, he is most known for his work on prepared lap steel guitar\, where his live performances seek to walk the line between meditative compositions and spastic improvisations. \nDoors at 7pm / Sound at 8pm

How are these two realms of the personal and the political intra-acting? How does history lay the ground of our everyday experience and possibilities\, and in what ways does it impregnate the materiality of our work? Can what we do aesthetically\, materially\, socially\, emotionally\, intervene with larger agendas that seem unreachable\, oftentimes abstract\, and weighing over us? These questions\, among others\, will thread the program. \nWe are interested in thinking about these open-ended questions with the public at Human Resources. \nDuring our first meeting on November 10th\, we plan to discuss the disconnect between political and daily life in relation to our work and processes: how we do it\, where it exists\, and what we hope it enacts. The format of the second meeting on November 17th will take shape in the aftermath of our conversations\, where participants will perform\, or share a piece\, a work-in-progress\, a text or lecture. \nWe hope you join us. \nImage: Kandis Williams\, “We are too much in the habit of looking at falsehood in its darkest associations…That indignation which we profess to feel at deceit absolute\, is indeed only at deceit malicious.

SUMMARY:A Benefit Party for Human Resources Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Zackary Drucker\, Kibum Kim\, Eve Fowler\, Mara McCarthy\, Jackie Tarquino\, and Francois Ghebaly\, with Committee Co-Chairs Holly Stanton and Andrew Greene \nCocktails and Hor D’Ouvres – Full Moon Pickles\, Fort Point Beer\, Kikori Whiskey\nPerformances by Anenon and LA Fog \nHuman Resources is raising money for it’s 2018-2020 schedule of programming\, and would like to invite you to attend our Art Auction Viewing Party! Please come to eat\, drink\, be entertained\, learn about the history of Human Resources\, and meet the artists\, curators\, and organizers of Human Resources’ community. Also\, come to see the work of many of the artists we have come to know and work with over the last 8 years. \nWe believe that Human Resources serves a vital role in an art economy that often fails to recognize and support the work of both emerging and established artists who are exploring performative and experimental modes of expression. Our strategy has been to actualize our mission by putting the intentions and practices of artists\, curators\, and community activists first\, and by maintaining a decentralized decision-making process that allows for maximum community access — and maximum artistic freedom\, invention and brilliance. \nOver the past seven years\, our unique organizational model has produced an incredible outpouring of creative enterprises\, with a positive impact that far exceeds our walls. In recent history\, we have hosted the exhibitions and performances of Ligia Lewis\, Rafa Esparza\, E.J. Hill\, Artemisa Clark\, Dorian Wood\, Keijaun Thomas\, Yann Novak\, Michael Parker\, Martine Syms\, Gelare Khoshgozaran\, Dirty Looks\, and living legends like Kembra Pfahler\, Terre Thaemlitz\, Rocio Boliver\, Ron Athey\, as well as a rare production of Tino Seghal’s (Untitled) 2000. We strive to make the art community a better environment for all\, even for those who may not visit or work with HR directly. \nFrom the Human Resources team\, our most heartfelt thanks\, \nVardui Sharapkhanyan\, Managing Director\nLuke Fischbeck\nJennifer Doyle\nGiles Miller\nEric Kim\nShoghig Halajian\n​Devin Mcnulty \nlink to paddle8 auction live now! \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS:\nScoli Acosta\, Mathis Altmann\, Edgar Arceneaux\, Carmen Argote\, Ron Athey\, Nora Berman\, Johanna Breiding\, Kristin Calabrese\, Carolyn Castaño\, Sam Durant\, Olivia Erlanger\, Patricia Fernandez\, Cristóbal Gracia\, Pippa Garner\, Mariah Garnett\, Laeh Glenn\, Piero Golia\, Sayre Gomez\, Justin John Greene\, Andrew J.

SUMMARY:Flawless Sabrina Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Facebook RSVP\nFree\nFrank Simon\, The Queen\, 35mm\, 68min.\, 1968\nCourtesy of www.thequeen1968firstlegaldvd.com\nOn November 18th\, we lost one of the greats – Jack Doroshow / Flawless Sabrina was a fierce role model and pioneer of performance and queer cultures with a legacy that spans 7 decades of advocacy\, activism and drag. In 1967 she staged a drag pageant that was documented by director Frank Simon. We will screen the resulting feature\, The Queen – which is the first feature-length documentary dedicated to the art of drag – in honor of Sabrina\, our reigning queen. \nThe Queen offers one of the earliest cinematic documentations of a drag ball. Depicting the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest for female impersonators held at Town Hall in New York and organized by “mistress of ceremonies” Flawless Sabrina\, the film also features Crystal LaBeija\, who would gain greater fame years later for her appearance in Paris Is Burning. The contestants get settled in their hotel rooms\, gossip\, share beauty secrets\, and discuss their backgrounds. Topics of discussion include gay life\, sex change operations\, problems with the draft\, and “husbands” in the service. Andy Warhol judges the competition and Mario Montez makes a guest appearance\, singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” \nPresented by Dirty Looks. \nImage: Curtis Carman\, Drag Icon #5\, 8×10”\, 2014

SUMMARY:Heal Her
DESCRIPTION:#HealHer is a global action by women who are coming together to break the silence on violence. Meeting in circles around the world\, we create rituals dedicated to storytelling\, consciousness-raising\, empathetic listening\, and collective healing. \n2017 shifted the narrative on sexual violence. As we enter 2018\, join artists\, healers\, performers\, and activists in holding a space where survivors can speak for themselves and commit to the mutual journey of healing. \n* Bring a flower or offering for the ceremony. Each attendee will be given a healing charm to take home with them. * \nWomen who speak about harassment and assault are often shamed\, disbelieved\, or dismissed. As awareness about violence against women increases through campaigns such as #MeToo\, it is time for those who have been silenced to be heard. Heal Her uses the ancient concept of the women’s circle as a platform for participants to share survival stories\, coping strategies\, and experiences related to gender-based violence and trauma. Known as talking circles\, healing circles\, or moon circles\, the ritual of meeting in circles is rooted in indigenous practices that many communities still engage in today. By coming together through storytelling\, music\, dance\, and ritual\, circles promote group cohesion\, facilitate interpersonal communication\, and provide spiritual guidance. \nHeal Her launches in 2018 with events in Los Angeles\, New York\, Berlin\, Boston\, San Francisco\, London\, Paris\, Baltimore\, and Utrecht. To bring Heal Her to your community\, email healherproject@gmail.com. Collected stories and contributions will be turned into an interactive installation and website. #HealHer is a collaboration between Lena Chen and Annique Delphine\, organizers\, community groups\, activists\, and survivors worldwide. \nThe project has been made possible with funding from DAZA Filmes\, a women-led production company founded in 2010 by Leandra Leal\, Carol Benjamin\, and Rita Toledo in Brazil. Their feature-length documentary As Mil Mulheres / A Thousand Women will show the behind-the-scenes development of Heal Her. \n(Cover image by Annique Delphine) \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\ninstallation images courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:New Performances
DESCRIPTION:An evening of short performance by: \nErica Magrey \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez \nAbigail Levine & Corey Fogel \nPasadena House Wives \n Erica Magrey is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist working with video\, performance\, music\, costume\, sculpture\, photography\, and set design. Her work playfully examines the embodiment of personas in order to inhabit familiar and foreign\, human and non-human characters\, performing an investigative relationship with them. Once conjured\, the persona’s fit may be surprising: like a deja vu glove\, a seamless transition; or\, bulkily\, somewhere on the spectrum toward needs alteration. In videos and live performances\, the audience bears witness to acts of transformation and embodiment; in interactive works\, the user is granted agency to participate in transformative manipulations. \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez is a Blaxican queer fat femme dyke writer and performer. She has performed at SORORITY at The Hammer Museum\, the Radar Productions Queer Readings Series\, and the McDonald’s in Silverlake next to her favorite gay bar. When she isn’t spilling her guts onstage\, she can be found creating semi-relatable social media content @failureprincess and letting her dogs kiss her on the mouth\, even though everyone says that’s some white people shit. \nAbigail Levine is a New York-based choreographer and performer. Her works are rooted in dance and draw from visual and performance art. Corey Fogel is a drummer and artist whose practice is based in momentary encounters often involving the intersection of sounds\, objects\, textiles\, foods. The two artists perform together for the first time on January 12 \nPasadena House Wives met at a cocktail and craft party held every third Sunday of the month at their country club. They bonded over mutual frustrations with absent husbands and annoying children\, their abilities to drink more cocktails then beads on a necklace\, and hot secretive affairs with their children’s college friends. They started playing music together because both their therapists suggested alternative modes of mental and physical release as a way to maintain a healthy outlook on life.
