SUMMARY:Reading Willa Cather: American Voice
DESCRIPTION:Willa Cather was one of the most singular American novelists of the 20th century. She broke new ground as an artist by emphasizing ordinary lives and struggles\, lending dignity and significance to her characters’ inner worlds. Behind the appearance of serenity in her stories\, however\, stands a complex writer of conflict who was doubtful of even the possibility of knowing anything for certain. \nJoin LA-based actors Linda Bisesti and Matthew Reidy for an afternoon of selections from Willa Cather’s fiction\, criticism\, and letters. \n“The end is nothing\, the road is all.” – Willa Cather\, Old Mrs. Harris

SUMMARY:WIP 018
DESCRIPTION:WIP 018 featuring Kirsten Schnittker & Shoji Yamasaki with post-show talk back moderated by Jas Lin. \nShoji YamasakiA Visual Encyclopedia of Trash \nShoji Yamasaki is a first-generation Japanese American transdisciplinary creative\, born and raised in the unceded ancestral land of Tongva\, recently known as Los Angeles\, who creates site-responsive and immersive works that explore the history\, architecture\, and community. His continual desire for expansion as an artist and his experimental ideas has allowed him to take on roles of a choreographer\, dancer\, performance artist\, director\, writer\, and filmmaker. His recent on-going project\, LITTERED MVMNTS\, has connected with millions of viewers around the world through social media and has given him opportunities to collaborate with brands such as Paloma Wool\, Harper Collective\, and H. Lorenzo. He has also been featured in articles such as Hyperallergic and Die Presse. A Visual Encyclopedia of Trash is derived from this project and utilized WIP to explore the live iteration of what has only existed in the digital world. \nIG handle: @shojers / @litteredmvmntswww.shojiyamasaki.com \nkirsten schnittker\nSubstantial Person\nPerformers:Laura Bartczak\, Frankie Halbiger\, Jessica Hemingway \nkirsten michelle schnittker is a dancer\, choreographer\, improviser\, arts administrator\, and a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. kirsten’s fascination with the sources of behavior in the environment of performance\, as well as with the layered hierarchies of choice and action that create a person/performer\, inspires the dances they make. In public workshops and invited working groups\, most recently hosted by CRAWLSPACE LA\, kirsten invites performers to practice their clearing scores: an improvisational awareness and self-direction practice that supports the emergence of artistic voice and more liberated presence. In all kirsten’s work\, they seek to increase our sensitivity to the sources and quality of meaning and transformation within us. kirsten’s work has been presented by AUNTS\, Brooklyn Arts Exchange\, Center for Performance Research\, Danspace Project’s Draftwork series\, Green Space\, The Knockdown Center\, Movement Research at The Judson Church\, Triskelion Arts\, Junior High LA\, Vital Joint\, FIRST DRAFT\, CRAWLSOLO and in various galleries\, studios\, and parks across LA\, NYC\, and Zurich. \nIG handle: @somatic_autumnPerformer IG handles: @laurawynne\, @frankieh456\, @germanhemingway\nkirstenschnittker.com \nWhat is WIP? \nWIP is an artist-led\, work-in-progress performance platform co-founded by dance artists Kate Wallich\, Stephanie Zaletel\, and Belize Wilheim. Launched in 2023\, WIP was created to give choreographers and performance makers a “low-tech\, high-visibility” space to share evolving works with audiences\, fostering curiosity\, dialogue\, and critical exchange at every stage of development. \nThe format is simple: each WIP features two artists sharing up to 25 minutes of work-in-progress\, followed by a moderated post-show conversation. \nWIP’s mission is to provide a supportive and sustainable environment for artists to test new ideas\, receive meaningful feedback\, and catalyze experimentation within the Los Angeles dance and performance community. By centering progressive and innovative work that challenges convention\, WIP strengthens the local ecosystem and deepens connections between artists\, arts institutions\, and audiences.

SUMMARY:Art for Everybody Screening
DESCRIPTION:You’ve seen his cozy cottages\, idyllic gardens\, and welcoming village streets on everything from canvas to commemorative plates. Both celebrated and disparaged for his kitschy signature settings\, the “Painter of Light” Thomas Kinkade rocketed to popularity in the ‘90s by marketing himself to American evangelicals and pitting himself against the elite art establishment. \nYet beneath the pristine public persona were demons that would drive him to alcoholism\, scandal\, and death from an overdose in 2012. After his passing\, Kinkade’s daughters uncovered a trove of unseen\, unexpectedly dark paintings\, a discovery that launched an investigation into their father’s true personality. \nThrough the voices of skeptical critics\, adoring fans\, and Kinkade’s closest friends and family\, ART FOR EVERYBODY digs deep into Kinkade’s life and work to elucidate the real man behind the persona. Accomplished editor Miranda Yousef’s directorial debut is an insightful documentary that peels back the layers of Kinkade’s facade\, delivering a portrait of a complex man divided by the same forces that continue to pull us apart as a nation. \nAcademy Award winner John Ridley will moderate a post-screening Q&A with director Miranda Yousef and producer Morgan Neville. A light reception will begin at 7pm in the museum garden and resume after the program.

SUMMARY:Sandhi\, A Traditional Kathak Solo by Rukhmani Mehta
DESCRIPTION:Experience Sandhi\, a traditional Kathak solo by celebrated choreographer and performer Rukhmani Mehta along with acclaimed musical artists Jayanta Banerjee on sitar and Salar Nader on tabla. \nDrawing inspiration from the Sanskrit concept of sandhi — which describes a meeting point where opposing energies intertwine and boundaries blur – Mehta explores how the traditional kathak solo is itself such a meeting point. \nThe performance invites audiences into the dualities that give kathak dance its vitality- tradition\, history and the present moment; the multiplicity of human expression and divine oneness; the collective story of a people and the individual voice of an artist. \nIn Sandhi\, artist and audience go on a shared journey of dance\, music\, rhythm and storytelling\, exploring the liminal spaces where dualities converge and give way to transformation and transcendence.

SUMMARY:S.U.T@LA – Vipassana Meditation Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Our practice is inspired by the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya (S.U.T)\, which invite us to bring wise awareness into every part of life. Mindfulness isn’t just for the cushion — it’s for the small\, ordinary moments that make up our days. \nSome weeks\, we’ll sit together in silence at the Wende Museum. Other times\, practice might take us outdoors for a gentle hike\, to a public event\, on a mindful shopping trip\, or even online via Zoom. Wherever we are\, the essence of practice remains the same: staying present\, open\, and kind. \nThis new L.A.-based sangha is rooted in curiosity\, ease\, and Dharma friendship. Together\, we’ll explore how to live with awareness and discover what unfolds when we meet life just as it is. We warmly invite you to join us — to sit\, to walk\, to laugh\, and to grow together on this path of practice.
