WELCOME TO UCLA’S CENTER FOR THE ART OF PERFORMANCE

UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) is the public facing research and presenting organization for the performing arts at the University of California, Los Angeles—one of the world’s leading public research universities. We are housed within the UCLA School of the Arts & Architecture along with the Hammer and Fowler museums. The central pursuit of our work as an organization is to sustain the diversity of contemporary performing artists while celebrating their contributions to culture. We acknowledge, amplify and support artists through major presentations, commissions and creative development initiatives. Our programs offer audiences a direct connection to the ideas, perspectives and concerns of living artists. Through the lens of dance, theater, music, literary arts, digital media arts and collaborative disciplines, informed by diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, artists and audiences come together in our theaters and public spaces to explore new ways of seeing that expands our understanding of the world we live in now.

One of the driving features of CAP UCLA’s 2020-21 Season is The Tune In Festival; a convergence of music and poetry in the time of change. Tune In is a four-day convening of artists, bands, ensembles and soloists from across the U.S., Canada and Latin America performing together in a grand gesture of cross-cultural solidarity that shares the time-honored tradition of music and poetry as a wellspring of resilience, resistance and inspiration. Every generation and era that ushers forth the human need for major change has an anthem or verse that call people to stand up. The Tune In Festival is chock full of song lines and rhymes from some of our most revered voices who speak from the rousing perspective of activating truth.

I knew we needed folk singers and poets in the fall of 2020—long before COVID-19, the despicable tragedy of George Floyd and so many others and the escalated tension that befalls us during a “normal” presidential election, let alone this one. I started talking with musicians and poets across genres and generations, with a mind towards re-booting The Tune In Festival I had brought with me to L.A. after presenting it at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. What is the music we want to hear from others’ struggles for human rights and justice? What are the poets of today speaking to? What do we want to remind one another of and inspire us as we look to the future? Not surprisingly, Kronos Quartet was thinking along the same lines and were

Photo by:Randi Malkin Steinberger developing a concert to celebrate the incredible life and music of Pete Seeger for the 100 year anniversary of his birth. “We Shall Overcome” is an anthem for the ages and across the ongoing struggles for civil rights that continue to be sought by successive generations. As Kronos planned their concert for CAP UCLA, I started working on building the festival around these shared aims.

Tune In is the voice of right now speaking up and out for the unmet needs and rights of so many in the Black and brown communities in America since our founding. What these music-makers and poets address through their lives and experience are the anthems that say ENOUGH. Conjoined through successive generations of music, poetry and song, they inspire us all to push forward for the changes we have always known to be urgent.

Tune In is also an incredible celebration of the voices of artists who can inspire us to rise up, tune in, resist, keep pushing and support one another as society’s other narratives try to push us in the opposite direction.

This is the soundtrack of getting out the vote! This is the soundtrack of now! And it is going to be joyous!

AUNTIE SEWING SQUAD — Radical Care in the Time of Coronavirus is a film directed and edited by Valerie Soe, in collaboration with the Auntie Sewing Squad, music from Kronos’ Fifty for the Future: “Pulsation,” by Susie Ibarra, performed by Kronos Quartet. This piece looks at the Auntie Sewing Squad, a group of mostly women of color volunteers who came together under the leadership of Kristina Wong following the U.S. government’s botched response to the COVID-19 crisis. The Aunties sew masks for farmworkers, day laborers, unhoused people, refugee and immigrant groups, First Nations tribes, recently incarcerated people, Black Lives Matter demonstrators, and others in need in the U.S. Using images, voices and sounds primarily generated by the Aunties themselves, in tandem with Kronos Quartet’s performance of Susie Ibarra’s “Pulsation,” this film seeks to inspire others to work toward radical care in the time of coronavirus. Produced by Janet Cowperthwaite and Reshena Liao and production management by Kronos Performing Arts Association. auntiesewingsquad.com
