SUMMARY:WIP 020
DESCRIPTION:WIP 020 features works in progress by Emily Barasch & Kevin Williamson followed by a post-show talk back moderated by WIP alum Jmy James Kidd. \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.

By centering progressive and innovative work that challenges convention\, WIP strengthens the local ecosystem and deepens connections between artists\, arts institutions\, and audiences.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. 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’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou 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. \nWhat 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. \nWe 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. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:Go Clara Go: The Art of Creative Resistance | Screening
DESCRIPTION:During the 1970s\, the artist group Clara Mosch transformed the former socialist model city of Chemnitz\, then Karl-Marx-Stadt\, in the GDR into an avant-garde happening zone. Silent performances and plenary actions alternated with exuberant art festivals and collaborative works presented in the local Galerie Oben. Through interviews with the protagonists and archival sources\, including materials from the Getty Research Institute\, filmmaker Sylvie Kürsten sheds light on this extraordinary chapter in East German art history in her new documentary Go Clara Go: The Art of Creative Resistance (Germany\, 2025). \nFollowing the screening\, filmmaker Sylvie Kürsten will be joined in conversation with curator Isotta Poggi of the Getty Research Institute.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. 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’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou 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. \nWhat 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. \nWe 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. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:My Sonic Valentine: Love Wrapped in Sound
DESCRIPTION:A FREE immersive Valentine’s Day offering. \nStep into a Valentine’s Day experience unlike any other\, where love\, sound\, art\, and vibration invite connection\, presence\, play\, and yes\, more love. \nPresented by Sonic Unity\, My Sonic Valentine: Love Wrapped in Sound marks their West Coast debut\, with a gathering that reimagines Valentine’s Day beyond romance\, embracing self-love\, friendship\, and community through sound and art\, and unfolds its vision across the indoor and outdoor spaces of the Wende Museum. \nDoors open at 3:30pm and guests will be invited to move freely\, follow the sound\, and experience living art and soundscapes that unfold across the museum’s spaces. This is envisioned as an interactive sound-art journey\, an experience that blends stillness with mindful movement into the realm of dreamlike wandering gently through sound\, art and connection. \nIn the spirit of community and public art\, the Wende Museum is honored to welcome the NXT Art Foundation\, which will present their brilliant Attune 1.0\, a first-of-its-kind public art platform designed to connect Angelenos through coordinated sound and light-based works presented simultaneously across multiple locations. Attune 1.0\, presented by NXT Art Foundation and Arup and produced by Carmen Zella (Cofounder\, NXT Art Foundation and Creative Director\, NOW Art)\, will unfold across Los Angeles County at sunset on Valentine’s Day as part of a free\, family-friendly public art experience. \nAttune 1.0 will activate the garden space as a central feature\, inviting guests to bring picnic blankets or chairs and settle around a light-based installation as they experience a collective sound journey created by local artists to inspire connection and calm… \n…and AMPLIFY LOVE. \nAt the heart of the experience is a continuous sound bath flow in the museum’s theater\, where guests are invited to receive as much or as little sound as feels right—dipping in and out as they wish. You are welcome to lie down\, sit\, move quietly\, or simply listen as sound moves through the space. We ask that this space be held with care and mindfulness\, honoring it as a sacred environment for sound bathing. \nTHEATER | THE SOUND BATH SANCTUARY \nA curated progression of exceptional sound artists bathing you with healing sound \n4:00 PM – Isaac Sabu\nVibroacoustic frequencies and immersive sound healing \n5:00 PM – Anthony Profeta\n2025 Evergreen Award Winner for Best Sound Therapist in the USA\, often referred to as “The Mozart of Sound” \n6:00 PM – Sandy Duarte\nStage 4 Cancer Survivor whose sound was born in chemo. A deeply intentional sound journey rooted in lived healing experience. Supported by Peter Hess® Therapy Bowls and Rainbow Sounds® crystal bowls \n6:40 PM – Closing Sound Bath\nA powerful collective sound immersion where all artists come together to jam and co-create in sound. \nJoining us as a special guest is Grammy-nominated artist Bella Rabbit\, adding her presence and creative spirit to the gathering. \nBella Rabbit is a Grammy-nominated songwriter\, artist and producer whose voice moves between sensitivity and power\, using sound as a frequency to alchemize emotion and presence. Her vocal work bridges intimacy and expansiveness\, inviting listeners into a shared space of resonance and release. \nSPACES BEYOND \nDiscover Biotune Wellness Technology through vibroacoustic offerings available on a first-come\, first-served basis. These experiences invite deep relaxation\, heart–brain coherence\, and elevated states of meditation\, supporting both individual and collective wellness. \nPlus\, make your way up to the museum’s beautiful rooftop for Sonic Unity Talking Circles\, a welcoming space for reflection\, heartfelt conversation\, and meaningful connection\, hosted by Janein Chavez\, LMFT\, and Nick Sharp\, M.A.\, LPCC\, GEP. \nWHAT THIS IS \nThis is not a workshop or a traditional performance. It is a curated sonic environment designed for listening\, nervous system regulation\, reflection\, shared presence\, and most of all LOVE. \nOpen to all—come alone\, with a partner\, or with friends and family. Experience Valentine’s Day as a moment of self-love\, friendship\, community\, and collective resonance. \nABOUT SONIC UNITY \nSonic Unity is a collective devoted to exploring sound as a universal language for healing\, connection\, and collective resonance—where love is the language beyond words. Their work brings together ancient and contemporary vibrational expressions through sound\, art\, and technology to create immersive experiences that support nervous system regulation\, emotional clarity\, embodied presence\, and community gathering. \nSonic Unity was co-founded by wellness and creative artist Sandy Duarte and wellness entrepreneur Melissa Rosen with the mission to foster coherence within the self\, between individuals\, and across communities through intentional sound and vibratory experiences. \nSandy’s sound practice was born during her journey through chemotherapy as a Stage 4 cancer patient\, where sound became a source of calm\, grounding\, and inner peace. That lived experience informs the depth\, care\, and intention behind every Sonic Unity offering. \nThis Valentine’s Day gathering marks the West Coast debut of Sonic Unity’s immersive sound work\, following an acclaimed multi-day event during Miami Art Week featuring over 25 sound facilitators of various genres in collaboration for continuous sound programming. \nAs founders of this movement\, we leave you with both our ethos to ponder with joy and possibility. \n“The power of love’s sound is for everyone.” – Sandy Duarte\n“Listening is love.” – Melissa Rosen

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. 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’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou 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. \nWhat 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. \nWe 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. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:Bauhaus | Tactile Sensibility with Cameron Taylor-Brown
DESCRIPTION:Artist and weaver Anni Albers wrote in her iconic essay Tactile Sensibility that “our tactile experiences are elemental” and that playful exploration of materials is essential to “regain a faculty that was once so naturally ours.” \nIn a two-hour workshop\, participants will play with a wide variety of materials—paper\, cardboard\, foil\, sticks\, buttons\, pebbles\, seeds\, wire\, fibers\, and more. In Albers’s words\, they will “group them\, cut them\, curl them\, mix them\, finally perhaps paste them\, to fix in a certain order.” The resulting exploratory collages will revitalize the sense of touch and lead to a deeper appreciation for the elemental importance of materials. \nThis program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series in February and March 2026\, 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.
