OLD LITTLE THEATER, BEHIND THE COLLEGE OF CREATIVE STUDIES

From 2009 to 2010, Artist Allison Leigh Holt lived and worked in Central Java, Indonesia as a Fulbright Fellow through the U.S. Department of State. The focus of her research was traditional Javanese concepts of multi-dimensional reality. Through her work she explores the intersections of the traditional Javanese world view with contemporary psychology and physics. In an open-dialog format, Holt will present her ongoing research, consisting of original diagrams, video-sculpture, and live-processed sound installation created in collaboration with members of the new media lab, House of Natural Fiber, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum 

 

Forum Lounge: Monica Bill Barnes,  Suddenly Summer Somewhere

Thursday, April 5, 5 pm happy hour at CAF,  7 pm performance at Center Stage Theater ADMISSION IS FREE

 

Monica Bill Barnes’ choreographed antics and quirky characterizations bring the Rat Pack to CAF in Suddenly Summer Somewhere.

 

A whimsical dance theater work, Suddenly Summer Somewhere is performed by dance duo Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass of Monica Bill Barnes & Company.  Set to live Rat Pack recordings complete with audience applause, the performance blends deadpan comedy, space-devouring choreography, and awkwardly strenuous partnering as Barnes and Bass embody endearing, fallible, and familiar characters reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.  Barnes’ work slips between comedy and tragedy as the performers struggle along their journey together, presenting to us both the roughhouse shenanigans and extreme closeness of fast friends. Monica Bill Barnes will be performing at Center Stage Theater at 7 pm sharp! We invite you arrive early and join us for a pre-performance happy hour at CAF--featuring La Tour wine, music, and an opportunity to peruse the exhibition Fights from Wonder.

 

New York-based choreographer and performer Monica Bill Barnes received her B.A. in Philosophy from the University of California, San Diego, San Diego, CA. In 1995, she created Monica Bill Barnes & Company, a contemporary American dance company.  Monica Bill Barnes & Company has performed in venues in New York City, including the Fall for Dance at New York City Center, Bates Dance Festival, American Dance Festival, and in over 30 cities nationally and abroad. 

 

A Virginia native, Anna Bass (Rehearsal Director/Dancer) received a B.A. in Dance and Theater from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA. In 2003, Bass joined Monica Bill Barnes & Company and became Rehearsal Director in 2009. Anna teaches repertory and master classes and has assisted Barnes with workshops, commissions, and community projects. 

 

About the Forum Lounge Series:  Forum Lounge is a series of free, unique, performance-based events, ranging from the theatrical to the avant-garde that are normally found only in large metropolitan venues, and that reflect CAF’s mission to sustain and encourage the artistic process by presenting art in the form of exceptional music, dance, video, and other multi-media to our community.  

 

Support for Forum Lounge 2011-2012 is generously provided by: the National Endowment for the Arts, Endevermusic Productions, the Franciscan Inn, KCSB, La Tour Wine Merchant, Santa Barbara Independent, and Therese Schweidler.  Forum Lounge is presented in association with the Santa Barbara Downtown Organization’s 1st Thursday.

TWO CABINS
SCREENING/TALK/Q&A
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14TH
6.00 pm. POLLOCK THEATER
Admission Free

Between July 2007 and June 2008, veteran independent film-maker James Benning built replicas of two iconic American Cabins in a remote part of the High Sierras:  Henry David Thoreau's hut from Walden Pond and the one-room plywood shack in rural Montana from which  Theodore John Kaczynski (the 'Unabomber') conducted his 16-year bombing campaign via the U.S. mail. The juxtaposition of these two  simple structures invokes and implicates deeply conflicted and  enduring foundational American myths concerning the scope and meaning  of personal liberty, civic responsibility and the rule of law;  individual conscience, democracy and civil disobedience; the  transcendental value of nature, wilderness and the god-given right to  exploit natural resources; American exceptionalism, environmental  conservationism and faith in technological progress; the imperative to make oneself (anew), to 'succeed' and, if necessary, to secede.

James Benning will introduce and screen a 30 minute film related to  the project. Afterwards New York- and Oregon-based artist, Julie Ault  and UCSB faculty member, Dick Hebdige (Art Studio and Film & Media  Studies) will talk about their contributions to the resulting book,  "Two Cabins by James Benning" (A.R.T Press, New York, 2011).

JAMES BENNING has made more than 40 films including "81/2x11" (1974),  "One Way Boogie Woogie" (1977), "American Dreams" (1984), "Landscape  Suicide" (1986), "North on Evers" (1992), "The California Trilogy"  (2000-1), "13 Lakes" (2004), "Ruhr" (2009) and Twenty Cigarettes  (2011). His work has been shown at major Film Festivals and Biennials  including Austin TX, Berlin, Brisbane, Duisberg, Jeonju, London,  Ljubljana, New York,Rotterdam and the Whitney.

JULIE AULT is an artist, curator and editor. One of the co-founders of Group Material, a New York-based artists' collaborative, she has  produced over 50 exhibitions and public projects exploring  relationships between politics and aesthetics. Her publications  include  Alternative Art New York, 1965-1985, (University of Minnesota  Press, 2002), Come Alive: The Spirited Art of Sister Corita, (Four  Corners Books, 2006), Felix Gonzalez-Torres, (steidldangin, 2006)  and Show and Tell: A Chronicle of Group Material, (Four Corners Books,  2010).

Copies of  Two Cabins by James Benning, (A.R.T. Press, 2011) will be  on sale at the event.
THIS EVENT IS CO-SPONSORED BY THE ARI (ARTS RESEARCH INITIATIVE) AND UCIRA

IMAGINE THAT!: An Original Dance and Theater Production

 

Santa Barbara Dance Institute's Event-Of-The-Year 2012, IMAGINE THAT!, is an original dance/theater piece, written by Rosalina Macisco and Rod Lathim. The show’s creative team includes: music producer, Michael Mortilla, voice over artist, Katie Thatcher, and choreographer, Rosalina Macisco. IMAGINE THAT!  will be performed by 300 children from Adelante Charter, El Camino and Solvang Elementary Schools.  The performance will take place on Sunday, May 20^th at 3pm at the Marjorie Luke Theatre, 721 East Cota St.  

 

In addition to the 300 schoolchildren, special performing guests that evening will be our local schoolteachers, parents, and community members.  Here is an enthusiastic testimonial from one of last year's teachers:

 

"Some students in my class need special education assistance several times a week. Others

go to our speech therapist. These special needs students, through the opportunity of dance with SBDI, are allowed to be equal and excel with their peers. I have witnessed such enthusiasm and confidence displayed by these children throughout the school year. The best confidence-builder

is performing on stage. I believe it affects them in other life endeavors.”  – Chris Bowman, 3^rd Grade Teacher & SBDI Liaison, Solvang Elementary School

 

IMAGINE THAT! is a dance performance experience for young people to explore the vast possibilities of what can happen when imagination and creativity are made a priority.  Art, new technology, and social change happen because of our ability to find creative solutions, dream, and envision a better world. IMAGINE THAT! explores the work of visionary world leaders and the simple wonders of letting one's creativity run wild through the medium of dance. A diverse pallet of music, from vintage through contemporary, will please both young and old in the audience. The exuberance and joy of the 300+ young dancers from elementary schools in Solvang, Goleta, and Santa Barbara has made past SBDI productions legendary. IMAGINE THAT! delivers an inspiring, fun, and exciting dance performance experience for the entire family!!

 

SBDI uses dance as a vehicle to establish a standard of excellence in children and to teach a valuable life lesson: that energy, discipline, hard work, commitment, and joyful concentration lead to success.  For many children, SBDI is a life-changing event; for all, it is an amazing experience they will never forget.  As a non-profit founded in 2005, SBDI’s full-year programs have served more than 1,800 children and over 8,000 audience members.

"A Bold Master Plan for A New Global Financial System"

Occupy World Street is a masterpiece which deserves to get wide circulation and commitment by world leaders.    ”
—Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the UN Earth Summit, Rio 1992

 "A Bold Master Plan for A New Global Financial System"

    People the world over are starting to rise up against a global financial cabal that has essentially bought governments and left economies in tatters. In the United States, occupiers gather in an ever-growing list of cities. In Greece, angry citizens march outside their parliament crying out “Thieves!” and “Traitors!” as their economy crumbles and pundits discuss how just long it will take for Portugal, Spain, and other nations to follow suit. Not all the demonstrators clearly understand the roots of these problems; not all can articulate solutions. But they know one thing: their lives have been radically changed, for the worse, by an unsustainable financial paradigm.

    In Occupy World Street, Ross Jackson delivers one of the most incisive, clear descriptions of the global financial practices that have driven economies—and resources—to the brink of collapse. He also puts forth a compelling, detailed plan to let sovereign nations 

• regain control of their economies
• reorganize global trade alliances on more human scale
• gradually phase out global institutions that have wreaked havoc and replace them with institutions that support sustainable economies, uphold human rights,and respect environmental standards

    In sum, he has done what few others have dared to: constructed a specific, implementable plan to reorganize the way world economies work. It’s a plan that, according to sustainable economics pioneer Hazel Henderson, “has the potential to unite hundreds of NGOs and millions of ordinary citizens in the streets behind a single simple proposal that could change the current dysfunctional game.”

    This work is the end result of forty years of looking for solutions to global problems like overpopulation, unsustainable growth, ecosystem overload, species extinction, exploitation of the developing countries, growing inequality, global injustice, and, more recently, global warming and peak oil. This book asks, "Where are the leverage points that can break the logjam and create real solutions that could lead to a radically different kind of global society?

    Ross Jackson, an expert in international finance and operations research, has long been an innovative leader in both the business and NGO worlds. He is chairman of Gaia Trust, a Danish-based foundation that supports the Global Ecovillage Network and Gaia Education, as well as hundreds of sustainability projects in forty countries. He is also director and owner of Urtekram, Scandinavia’s largest wholesale organic-food company, and former chairman of Gaiacorp, foreign-exchange consultants and hedge fund managers. 

  The event takes place on Friday, March 30 7:30-9:00pm  at the the Ayni Gallery 216 State St Santa Barbara CA 93101
