SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays and Other Subversions
DESCRIPTION:Every Sunday in August\, join us for Samizdat Sundays—hands‑on textile workshops inspired by the spirit of creative resistance and DIY culture found in samizdat traditions. Each week offers a different project\, connecting archival stories of subversion with contemporary making. \nWe encourage participants to bring an item each week—a T‑shirt\, a pair of jeans\, or any textile you’re ready to transform\, repair\, or experiment with. \nAugust 3: Secret Messages on Any Textile – learn techniques to hide words and symbols in fabric. \nAugust 10: Tee Bag – transform and repurpose a T‑shirt into a bag. \nAugust 17: Visible Repair / Bellbottoms for the Adventurous – celebrate mending as art\, or reimagine old jeans with bold new flares. \nAugust 24: Secret Messages\, Part 2 – return to textile secrecy with new methods and layers. \nAugust 31: Communal Project: A Textile Exquisite Corpse – contribute to a collective\, evolving piece stitched together from everyone’s hands and ideas. \nEach session is free\, open to all skill levels\, and guided by artists who delight in subversion and play. Come for one or come for all—together we’ll stitch\, alter\, repair\, and imagine new forms of expression. \nAbout the teaching artist\nKate Ingold is an LA-based artist and poet working with the discarded\, the damaged\, and the worn out. Materials and methods include textiles\, collage\, photography\, video\, ceramics\, and performative installation. She works in series driven by conceptual concerns and is currently making work in two interwoven projects: Relics for Future Rituals and Damaged Goods/Small Repairs. \nRSVPs for this free program do not guarantee admission.

SUMMARY:Tea Dances at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center
DESCRIPTION:Move\, mingle\, and unwind through the joyful rhythm of social dance.\n\n\nThe Wende Museum’s Tea Dance series invites you to move\, mingle\, and unwind through the joyful rhythm of social dance. Hosted in the Glorya Kaufman Community Center\, each session features different dance traditions\, ranging from Argentine tango to vintage swing\, led by local artists and dance instructors. No experience or partner required. \nTea dances originated in early 20th-century Britain and America as daytime socials\, often held in hotels and ballrooms\, offering live music\, light refreshments\, and a welcoming space for community connection. Revived in the queer communities of mid-century America\, the tradition evolved into a vibrant celebration of expression and belonging. \nIn that spirit\, our Sunday Tea Dances offer a space to unplug\, connect\, and move together. These afternoons are for everyone: curious beginners\, practiced dancers\, and people just looking to enjoy good music and warm company. \nCome for the class\, stay for the social\, and rediscover the art of togetherness. \nFree and open to all. Comfortable shoes are encouraged. \nSchedule: \nSunday\, August 3\, 3-6 pm\, LA Swing Dance Posse with Beach Cities Swing Band \nLA Swing Dance Posse with Beach Cities Swing Band (LASDP) is a non profit organization formed to honor contributions African Americans have made to vernacular jazz dance through performance and education. They teach the history of those styles\, ranging from the 1800’s to the present. This gives them the opportunity to fill in knowledge gaps of Swing dance history\, a history that has deep roots in Black culture. Their mission is to educate\, preserve\, promote\, teach and perform the vernacular jazz dances such as Savoy Swing\, Charleston\, and Lindy Hop dance. \nThe Beach Cities Swing Band (BCSB)\, founded in 2000 by members of the El Segundo Concert Band\, is a 17-piece big band with featured vocalists\, performing classics made famous by Count Basie\, Glenn Miller\, Duke Ellington\, Benny Goodman\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Artie Shaw\, as well as modern swing arrangements and fresh takes on beloved tunes. Now operating under the South Bay Music Association\, the BCSB is dedicated to keeping the big band tradition alive and thriving. True to its name\, the band has performed throughout the South Bay’s beach cities—including Manhattan Beach\, Hermosa Beach\, Redondo Beach\, Torrance\, Palos Verdes Estates\, Long Beach\, Marina Del Rey\, Los Angeles\, and its home base of El Segundo. \nSunday\, August 17\, 3-6 pm\, Oxygen Tango \nDiscover the global language of tango in this one-hour beginner class led by Oxygen Tango\, a beloved LA-based school known for its welcoming\, connection-driven approach. You’ll learn the essentials of this improvised social dance and be ready to join the informal practica that follows—no partner needed. Just bring comfortable clothes\, shoes you can walk backward in\, and a spirit of curiosity. \nSunday\, August 31\, 3-6 pm\, Groove and Step
