SUMMARY:The Bumdog School of Film
DESCRIPTION:Led by underground photographer and filmmaker Bumdog Torres\, this five-session workshop at the Wende Museum invites participants to learn the essentials of DIY filmmaking using just a smartphone – no crew\, no budget\, just pure creative grit. \nWith lessons grounded in Bumdog’s own journey of making a feature film while unhoused on the streets of Los Angeles\, the purpose of these classes will not be just to teach film grammar. But to learn the great value of the experience of making a movie. The personal growth and adventure of pure creation. And the importance of knowing afterward that you made your mark on the world… even if it’s just a stain. \nIf you’re ready to dive into the full five-session adventure\, email Michael Balot-Garza at education@wendemuseum.org and share a few sentences about why you’re interested. Space is limited\, and\, by signing up\, you’re committing to attend all five sessions. Participants are recommended to be ages 18 and up and must have a smartphone with video capability. \n#1: Editing and transitions. Cinematic composition. Juxtaposition of Sound. “Recreate Your Day”. September 20th\, 9am – 5pm \n#2: “Stories for Movies” September 27th\, 1pm – 5pm \n#3: “Storytelling for Movies” October 11th\, 1pm – 5pm \n#4: “Mastery” October 25th\, 1pm – 5pm \n#5: “Gestalt” and “Make your own damn movie” November 8th\, 9am – 5pm \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd.

SUMMARY:CONTRA-TIEMPO: Roots of Loving Us - A Ritual Procession
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of beautiful things – live art\, music\, dance\, and a sneak peek into a brand new work. \nThis gathering is more than performance – it is a ritual of transformation. Together\, we will honor the sacred act of turning what has been discarded into what is beloved. Through a ritual procession of formerly given-away clothes and items\, we celebrate the way one person’s orphaned belongings can become another’s chosen treasure. This is a practice of reimagining family\, of weaving new kinship through care\, creativity\, and collective imagination. \nAs choreographer holly johnston describes: \n“Our collaboration is an adoption process where we are joining together Responsive Body and CONTRA-TIEMPO to expand the family of artistic work. Beyond merely doing things side by side\, we are committing to mutual care\, support\, and the ongoing development of one another’s artistic lives.” \nThe Flow of the Night\n✨ 6:30 PM – Doors Open (with music + community vibes) \n✨ 7:15 PM – Ritual Procession & Fashion Show \n✨ 7:30 PM – Performance (work-in-progress sharing) \n✨ 8:00–9:00 PM – Dance Jam Reception + Mini Sabor Session \n🍷 Wine (rosé & white) will be served \nThis is a community sharing of work in progress and radical joy through movement. Come ready to witness\, move\, and celebrate with us. \nWhy Come?\nExperience a collaborative work-in-progress unlike anything else in LA.\nWitness how discarded things become sacred treasures through art.\nBe part of a ritual of belonging\, adoption\, and transformation.\nDance\, sip rosé\, and jam with community.
