SUMMARY:WIP 021
DESCRIPTION:WIP 021 features works in progress by Adam Kerbel & Santiago Villarreal followed by a post-show talk back moderated by WIP alum Daria Kaufman. \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. \nwww.wipla.info/#info

SUMMARY:Tuesday Men's Club
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Men’s Club is a gathering for men to sit in meditation\, have an honest conversation\, and enjoy each other’s company. Men of all ages (our group ranges from 27 to 82) gather after work every other Tuesday. Some nights we talk about integrity\, grief\, or what it means to show up. Other nights it’s managing screen time\, coaching Little League\, parenting teenagers\, staying in shape\, or dealing with tennis elbows. \nThe format is simple: we introduce ourselves\, we meditate\, we talk\, and then we eat ice cream. \nWe meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month at 7pm at the Wende Museum. No experience with meditation or group work is required. Drop-ins are welcome. \nMore at tuesdaymensclub.com.

SUMMARY:Naming the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB) and the Planetary Program at the Berggruen Institute are thrilled to present Naming the Unknown\, a LARB editor’s salon exploring how language evolves to name and make sense of emerging phenomena in a rapidly changing world. \nWhether from political\, philosophical\, artistic\, or literary vantage points\, language is constantly evolving to capture the realities of the present. Terms like mansplaining\, enshittification\, and the latest internet fixation\, mogging\, show how new words emerge to name experiences that once went unarticulated. Our world is increasingly dominated by a new lexicon as we learn to adapt. \nTo discuss\, LARB and the Berggruen Institute have brought together writers Dashiel Carrera\, Gideon Jacobs\, Jonathan Blake\, and the artists behind the Bureau of Linguistical Reality\, Heidi Quante and Alicia Escott. Join us on the evening of March 26 at 7 p.m. at the Wende Museum for a defining conversation moderated by LARB editor-in-chief Medaya Ocher. \nThis event is made possible with the support of the Planetary Program at the Berggruen Institute. The Berggruen Institute is a think tank with centers in Beijing\, Venice\, and Los Angeles that develops foundational ideas to shape the future\, building new conceptual frameworks that transcend academic disciplines and cultural boundaries while connecting a global network of thinkers to generate ideas with real-world impact. Within this work\, the Planetary Program addresses the political\, philosophical\, and institutional challenges of an interconnected Earth system\, recognizing that issues such as climate change\, technological systems\, and ecological breakdown exceed national borders and require a fundamental rethinking of politics\, responsibility\, and interdependence at a planetary scale. \nDashiel Carrera is a novelist\, Human-Centered AI researcher\, and media artist. A Visiting PhD Researcher at Columbia University\, his research explores how Generative AI will affect the trajectory of contemporary literature. Also the author of The Deer (Dalkey Archive Press\, 2022) and an Assistant Editor at Conjunctions\, his work has been published in Los Angeles Review of Books\, LitHub\, FENCE\, and BOMB\, and his research has taken him to the MIT Media Lab and Harvard’s metaLab. \nGideon Jacobs writes fiction and nonfiction\, contributing to The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Artforum\, BOMB Magazine\, The Drift\, Heavy Traffic\, and others. He is currently performing a one-man show and working on a novel\, both about images. \nJonathan Blake is Director of Programs at the Berggruen Institute\, where he directs the research projects and wider research agenda for the Planetary Program. Blake is the co-author\, with Nils Gilman\, of Children of a Modest Star: Planetary Thinking for an Age of Crises (2024) and author of Contentious Rituals: Parading the Nation in Northern Ireland (2019). He previously held research positions at the RAND Corporation\, Columbia Global Policy Initiative\, and the Chumir Foundation. His writing on planetary politics\, governance\, ethnic conflict\, migration\, and more has appeared in Noema\, where he is Associate Editor\, The Atlantic\, Boston Review\, The Nation\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, and scholarly journals. \nHeidi Quante and Alicia Escott are the creators behind The Bureau of Linguistical Reality\, a public participatory artwork focused on creating new language as an innovative way to better understand our rapidly changing world due to manmade climate change and other Anthropocenic events. The vision of the artwork is to provide new words to express what people are feeling and experiencing as our world changes as climate change accelerates. We will be using these new words to facilitate conversations about the greater experiences these words are seeking to express with the view to facilitate a greater cultural shift around climate change.

SUMMARY:S.U.T@LA – Vipassana Meditation Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Practice Isn’t Just on the Cushion — It’s Wherever Life Takes Us \nOur 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. \nPlease note we are holding Q&A session from 5PM. Q&A sessions are for continuing students only. Please contact me if you are interested in joining.
