What is WIP?
WIP 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.
The format is simple: each WIP features two artists sharing up to 25 minutes of work-in-progress, followed by a moderated post-show conversation.
WIP’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.

Defiant Laughter: An Evening of Soviet Jewish Purim Spiels
2026-03-03 18:00 - 19:30 | The Wende Museum’s Community Center, 10858 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
Join us for a staged reading of archival Purim spiel scripts shared within Soviet Jewish communities, performed in newly translated English. These witty, subversive works were originally passed hand-to-hand and performed in private apartments, where Jewish life continued behind closed doors.
Purim is a holiday celebrating survival and the triumph over oppression, traditionally marked by humor, costumes, and spirited storytelling. In the USSR, that spirit took on deeper meaning, as communities preserved tradition through intimate, often improvised performances in living rooms.
These spiels reflect that world—blending satire, history, and quiet resistance. Open to all audiences, this event offers a unique chance to experience both the joy of Purim and the resilience of cultural life under constraint.
As the museum will be closed during this program, please enter through the garden side gate, which will open 30 minutes before the start time. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.

Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditation. Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful A-Frame Theater of the Wende Museum Community Center
You do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class.
What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful.
We practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind, challenging emotions, and even physical pain. We can access peace, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time.

Bauhaus | Beyond the Surface: Dimensional Thinking on Paper
2026-03-04 19:00 - 21:00 | The Wende Museum’s Community Center, 10858 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
This hands-on workshop introduces key ideas from the Bauhaus by exploring how dimension emerges from simple materials. Participants begin with the 1D line, move to the 2D plane through drawing and cutting, and transform flat surfaces into 3D structures using folding techniques inspired by foundational Bauhaus exercises. Paper is treated not just as a surface for drawing but as a structural material whose strength, flexibility, and resistance could be revealed through various techniques – adhering to the Bauhaus idea that materiality meant understanding and honoring the inherent qualities of materials. Through strategic cuts, bends, and structural manipulation, paper becomes volume, tension, and space. Finally, participants activate their forms through movement or light (a mobile phone light will do) introducing time as a fourth dimension and expanding static geometry into a spatial experience.
This program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series, in which local artists lead hands-on classes inspired by the Bauhaus school’s learning-by-doing philosophy and its spirit of experimentation, play, and discovery.
About the teaching artist: Minna Philips is a contemporary artist from India, living in Los Angeles. Her architectural drawings explore spaces as it relates to our bodies and perception. Minna’s works have been exhibited nationally and internationally and are in private and public collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. One of her works, as part of the Moon Gallery project based in the Netherlands, will eventually find a permanent place on the Moon in 2026.

Designer and Black Mountain College scholar Michael Beggs leads a workshop exploring rearrangements, a family of collage and material exercises which Josef Albers developed at the Bauhaus and both broadened and refined at Black Mountain College. Participants will sample a few different rearrangement and reordering approaches, see examples from Albers’s classes, and explore the larger constellation of works using this technique by a variety of artists from the Bauhaus to the present day.
This program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series, in which local artists lead hands-on classes inspired by the Bauhaus school’s learning-by-doing philosophy and its spirit of experimentation, play, and discovery.

Bauhaus Legacies with Fritz Horstman
2026-03-07 12:30 - 14:00 | The Wende Museum’s Community Center, 10858 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
The Bauhaus curriculum was built upon its preliminary course. In the century since its brief existence, that enormously influential curriculum has reshaped art education around the world. Albers Foundation Education Director Fritz Horstman will provide historical context, before, during, and after the Bauhaus, touching on ways that these ideas were present in the Cold War, and how they are relevant today.
This will also provide an opportunity to make connections to the upcoming series of workshops at the Wende Museum in February and March that will be led by Horstman and a number of other artists working in modes related to the ideas of the Bauhaus, including workshops on color, paper folding, and design.

Same Player Shoots Again: A Biography of the Pinball Machine
2026-03-07 15:00 - 17:00 | The Wende Museum’s Community Center, 10858 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
Join us for a conversation with Andreas Bernard, author of Same Player Shoots Again: A Biography of the Pinball Machine.
Once a fixture of bars, arcades, and public life, the pinball machine flourished from the 1960s through the 1990s before quietly disappearing. Bernard uses pinball as a lens on much larger shifts. The erosion of public leisure. The collapse of clear boundaries between work and play. The rise of screen-based distraction and the thinning of social critique.
Part memoir, part cultural history, the book moves from specific machines to broader questions about how we spend time, how we gather, and what has been lost as games migrate from shared physical spaces to private screens.
The program will include remarks by the author, brief readings, and audience Q&A. A complimentary reception will follow in the garden. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Each 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.
SCHEDULE
“HAND” BOOK MADE OF CLOTH
March 8, 2026
Inspired by the beautiful “handbook” by artist Ruth Katzenstein Souza currently on view at Art Division in MacArthur Park, we will make a cloth “book” that is illustrated with embroidery, drawing, embellishments, collage, etc. Perhaps your “book” is a handkerchief that reveals its story when it is unfolded; or perhaps yours will be more of a scroll than a book, one that unfurls, or perhaps yours will unravel as it is read. Join us!
See images of Katzenstein Souza’s book on her website:
https://www.ruthkatzensteinsouza.com/handbook
ACCORDION BOOK
March 15, 2026
Modeled after the pilgrimage temple and shrine stamp books of Japan (called goshuin), we will make simple accordion books that can be embellished on the outside and the inside with collage, writing, cloth, etc. Working with our abundant stash of discarded materials, we will make accordion books of various sizes and for various purposes. Will your accordion book be for recording a spiritual pilgrimage? Or perhaps to hold your favorite recipes, or your favorite poems? Perhaps your accordion book will be an unfolding love letter, to another person or the squirrel who lives in your favorite tree.
PATCHES!
March 22, 2026
We will begin our workshop with a visit to the Wende Museum archives to see the beautiful handmade patches in the Soviet Hippie collection. Using felt as our substrate, we will embroider, collage, embellish, and appliqué designs to make a patch to use to cover up a rip or tear, or perhaps to communicate an idea or concept.
For an extra special weekend, come to the museum on Saturday, March 21 as well to enjoy the Soviet Hippie Archives Open House. You’ll come away inspired, I’m certain of it!
FINISH IT! CLINIC
March 29, 2026
Today we will finish up projects we’re working on, whether they’re projects begun in Samizdat Sundays, or other projects that have been lingering in your studio or drawer waiting to be finished. All of our materials will be available to you, but you’re also invited to bring your own materials, if your project requires them. If this is your first time coming to the workshop, you are welcome to work on a past Samizdat Sunday project. Perhaps you’ll make a series of mail art collage postcards, or perhaps you’ll sew a secret pocket or message into your favorite shirt. Let’s finish (or begin!) things together in the beautiful classroom at the Wende.
About the teaching artist
Kate Ingold is an LA-based artist and poet working with the discarded, the damaged, and the worn out.

2026-03-08 14:00 - 16:00 | The Wende Museum’s Community Center, 10858 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
Pianists Vivian Fan and Eloise Kim present an evening of music for two pianos that moves from cosmic intensity to lyrical intimacy to Latin American rhythm. The program opens with Holst’s Mars, the Bringer of War from The Planets, followed by Arvo Pärt’s meditative Hymn to a Great City and Chopin’s virtuosic Rondo in C Major.
After intermission, Debussy’s En bateau from Petite Suite evokes the gentle motion of water, leading into the warmth and folk-inspired lyricism of Guastavino’s Tres Romances and Bailecito. The concert concludes with Piazzolla’s Adiós Nonino, a powerful tango elegy that transforms personal grief into a universal expression of remembrance.
The program will be followed by a complimentary reception.
Vivian Fan is Director of Collaborative Piano at the Colburn Conservatory. An accomplished chamber musician and recording artist, she has performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall and collaborated with leading instrumentalists worldwide, with appearances broadcast on major television and radio programs.

S.U.T@LA – Vipassana Meditation Practice Group
2026-03-08 16:00 - 17:00 | CA
Practice Isn’t Just on the Cushion — It’s Wherever Life Takes Us
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.
Some 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.
This 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.
Please 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.

Bauhaus | The Shape-Shifting Forms of the Miura Pattern
2026-03-12 19:00 - 21:00 | The Wende Museum’s Community Center, 10858 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90230, United States
Learn to fold the Miura pattern and its various forms with artist Jeff Morrical. The pattern forms the basis of much of the artist’s sculptural work and within a few variations and combinations on the theme can create a wide variety of results. Attendees will first be walked through tutorials on the pattern and can then combine and apply what they have learned in their own creative process to create a finished sculpture of their own.
This program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series, in which local artists lead hands-on classes inspired by the Bauhaus school’s learning-by-doing philosophy and its spirit of experimentation, play, and discovery.
About the teaching artist: The work of LA-based artist Jeff Morrical incorporates single-sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity. From many years working in the world of architecture, finding form, structure and pattern in everyday materials has always been a driving force in his work. While his artwork generally falls into the world of sculpture, the pieces can become canvas, costuming and props for movement and performance, toys for play, screens for projection – abundant possibilities in one of the world’s most ubiquitous and humble materials. He’s now on a mission to unlock the geometric properties latent in every sheet of material, one fold at a time.

From two-time Academy Award–winning director Ben Proudfoot, The Eyes of Ghana (2025) follows 93-year-old filmmaker Chris Hesse, the personal cinematographer to Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah. As his eyesight fades, Hesse races to preserve and repatriate a hidden archive of more than 1,000 films documenting the birth of African independence in the 1950s and 1960s. Long unseen by the public, these images have the potential to reshape the historical record of Ghana, the African continent, and the global story of decolonization.
Executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, the film is both a portrait of a life’s work and a meditation on archives, memory, and the urgent task of safeguarding endangered historical materials.
The screening will be followed by a conversation and audience Q&A with members of the filmmaking team.
Nana Adwoa Frimpong, Producer, is Vice President of Partnerships and Impact at Breakwater Studios, where she develops strategies that connect documentary storytelling to public engagement and social impact.

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.
The format is simple: we introduce ourselves, we meditate, we talk, and then we eat ice cream.
We 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.
