SUMMARY:Transfiguration International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 6:30pm Screenings at 7pm \n\n\n\nTHE TRANSFIGURATION INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL is a traveling film festival showcasing an eclectic variety of experimental short films. Curated by Jonni Peppers (award-winning animator / filmmaker\, lead programmer for animation shorts at Slamdance Film Festival\, jury member at Ottawa International Animation Festival\, etc.)\, Transfiguration 2024 features work by a diverse selection of experimental independent + student filmmakers\, new and old\, sweet and mean\, silly and serious\, animation and live action.  \n\n\n\nI started with a long shortlist of around 250 films that were hand picked based on my taste and narrowed it down to 35 stellar shorts that will blow your mind. The goal was to put together a satisfying block that covers a wide array of topics and styles while also feeling like a cohesive experience. The work featured is kinetic\, raw\, interesting\, human\, passionate\, and all made by individuals or very small teams. At Transfiguration International Film Festival\, we implore you to think worldwide\, start giving a shit\, and wake up from the bad dream. See you there…

SUMMARY:Page Person: GREEN SCREEN VOCAL SAC
DESCRIPTION:A meditation on our relationships with nature and technology\, GREEN SCREEN VOCAL SAC invites attendees to use their phone/device to playback a video (accessible via QR code) to create an environment in which the artist will tell a story from a recent experience with a population of California tree frogs in the San Gabriel mountains. Audience participation is intended to foster community thinking; not only between us as individuals but also with the various other life forms whose needs intersect with ours. How can we imagine new ways of thinking about our environment while acknowledging our complicity in its destruction? What does interspecies learning look like? What is love and how can we sustain it? Does evolution favor competition or interdependence? What is in the water and is it making the frogs gay?Page Person (M. Page Greene; 1972\, Atlanta) is a visual and performing artist based in Los Angeles. Their work has been exhibited in galleries including Peres Projects\, Stuart Shave/Modern Art and Deitch Projects; museums such as the Hammer Museum\, The New Museum\, DESTE Foundation\, Kunsthalle Schirn\, and Kunsthalle Vien. Person’s work has been reviewed in Artforum\, Frieze\, The New York Times\, The Believer\, Artillery\, Flash Art\, The Wall Street Journal and the Village Voice. Their work is in the permanent collections of the Hammer Museum\, Museum of Modern Art\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, Frank Cohen Collection\, DESTE Foundation and the Luckman Gallery of Los Angeles City College. Person has performed at the Hammer Museum\, the Broad Museum\, LAXART\, Glasslands\, Los Angeles LGBT Center\, Human Resources\, Los Angeles Nomadic Division\, and in queer nightlife spaces throughout Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Ashira Darwish | a Sufi prayer for Gaza  
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Sufi prayer and sacred dance of power for Gaza. Ashira Darwish will lead an active Sufi meditation to release stress\, grief and anger. We will then join together in chanting and Sufi whirling to build resilience in our hearts and bodies. Register here!  \n\n\n\nWe ask that attendees make contributions to Catharsis holistic healing\, a trauma therapy project in Palestine. Please bring proof of donation; we will also accept contributions at the door.    \n\n\n\nAshira Darwish is the founder of Catharsis holistic healing. She is known for pioneering Sufi active meditation to help people suffering from continuous trauma. This type of active meditation draws its roots from ancestral and Indigenous knowledge. Her personal journey of healing from full body paralysis with a severed spinal cord in 2012 has given her a deep insight into the process of recovery and healing. This unique perspective allows her to offer a highly specialized and culturally sensitive approach to trauma healing. In 2021\, she received the ISABS Honors from the Indian Society for Applied Behavioral Science for her contribution to positive societal transformation through the application of behavioral science principles and practices.

SUMMARY:Ringdown
DESCRIPTION:Left: Mattie Barbier. Center: Alex Hawthorn. Right: Stephanie Cheng Smith\, photo by Lena Pozdnyakova.\n\n\n\nTickets are $10; click here to purchase. \n\n\n\nOn July 23rd\, 2024 at Human Resources Los Angeles\, Alex Hawthorn will present an evening of experimental electronic music performances by renowned artists\, culminating in the world premiere of their new work\, “Ringdown”. The evening will feature opening solo sets by Stephanie Cheng Smith (electronics)\, Mattie Barbier (trombone)\, and Hawthorn (electronics).For their Human Resources debut\, sound artist and composer Alex Hawthorn brings their singular blend of electronics\, field recordings\, and contact mics to build lush\, dense ambient soundscapes\, dilating time to explore the intricacies of small sounds.“Ringdown” draws inspiration from the phenomenon of the same name\, first recorded in 2015\, which describes the gravitational waves emitted during the final stage of a merger of two black holes\, as they combine into a singular entity. Hawthorn was struck by the data\, which showed these gravitational waves were oscillating in the range of human hearing. “Ringdown” builds on this data to imagine the sonic possibilities of such a merger. \n\n\n\nThe concert features design elements by Jane Hamor\, Claire Chrzan\, and Drew Sensue-Weinstein. \n\n\n\n*Stephanie Cheng Smith is an L.A.-based composer\, performer and programmer who creates interactive pieces\, installations\, improvisation\, and through-composed works. Often using electronics\, violin and light elements\, Smith’s work stretches from ensemble performances and the realization of others’ scores to a solo practice that has included several projects that each utilize a novel technology-driven instrument of her own devise. Developing software and designing circuitry to control motorized elements\, she has imagined a unique hybrid form where physical materials such jingle-bells\, plastic cups\, or pieces of paper can be deliberately – or aleatorically – controlled to “perform” expressive and organic sound events. A recent work\, Life Cycles\, uses such apparati to vibrate vellum\, evoking the sound of cicadas. Smith’s 2021 album Forms was released on A Wave Press. \n\n\n\nMattie Barbier is an LA based musician and sonic researcher focused on experimental intonation\, noise\, and the physical processes of their instrument. Their playing has been described by the LA Times as being “of intense\, brilliant\, virtuosic growling that gave the striking impression that Barbier was dismantling the instrument while playing it\,” by the Wire as “exploring the nooks of instrumental tone far beyond the reach of most mortals\,” and by the New Yorker as being a “diabolically inventive trombonist-composer.”Mattie engages in collaborative relationships with a range of musicians including Weston Olencki\, Ellen Arkbro\, Clara Iannotta\, Sarah Davachi\, Michelle Lou\, Wolfgang von Schweinitz\, Jacob Kirkegaard\, and Katherine Young. As an interpreter they have given premieres by and collaborated with a broad spectrum of composers including George Lewis\, Catherine Lamb\, Liza Lim\, Lester St. Louis\, Kevin Drumm\, Kaori Suzuki\, Raven Chacon\, and Scott Walker. Mattie is a member of RAGE Thormbones\, wildUp\, echoi\, wasteLAnd music\, and is an active soloist and improviser on low brass instruments and bagpipes. Additionally they teach at CalArts.Mattie has presented and created work with and for the Museum of Jurassic Technology\, Getty Villa\, Monday Evening Concerts\, San Francisco Exploratorium\, Indexical\, Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Green Umbrella Series\, Roulette Intermedium\, RedCat\, Mahler Chamber Orchestra\, Ensemble Apparat\, Factory Seconds Brass Trio\, and Issue Project Room as well as in collaboration with holographer Tristan Duke. They have made a wide array festival appearances including: Borealis (NO)\, IMD Darmstadt (DE)\, Donaueschinger (DE)\, Maerzmusik (DE)\, Bludenz Tage zeitgemäßer (AT)\, Spor (DK)\, Chicago’s Frequency Festival\, Dartington International Summer School (UK)\, Kalv Festival (SE)\, JAMA (SK)\, Minu (DK)\, the Ojai Music Festival\, and Musica Nova Helsinki (FI) with the Helsinki Philharmonic\, as well as at Donaueschinger with the SWR. Various recording projects have been released on Sofa Music\, Dinzu Artifacts\, Carrier\, Tripticks\, Populist\, Mode\, Hat Hut\, Innova\, Late Music\, Faux Amis\, New Focus\, Domino\, New Amsterdam\, and Kairos Records. \n\n\n\nAlex Hawthorn is an artist\, composer\, and technologist whose work flows between performance\, installation\, object-making\, and sound-making. As a non-binary interdisciplinary artist\, Hawthorn is most comfortable outside prescriptive boxes\, allowing their research and intuition to shape the form and medium of their projects. They use their work as a lens through which to investigate the natural world\, specifically focusing on time: how we experience it\, how we have codified it\, and how we exist within it. Hawthorn’s recent research has focused on extremely long timescales: from the geological to the galactic. \n\n\n\nHawthorn has performed at sound art festivals nationally and internationally\, most recently as part of the opening of the Floating Transmissions festival in Hamburg\, Germany. Hawthorn’s work in theatrical sound design has garnered them an Obie award\, LA Ovation Awards\, and has been heard across North and South America\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, Europe\, and the Middle East. www.AlexHawthorn.com / @afhawthorn
