Herb Alpert Award Artist–Dance. The Wooden Floor, the Santa Ana youth company composed of gifted dancers from underserved communities, has been inspiring audiences and elevating young lives for 30 years. Its latest program offers works by Herb Alpert Award-winning choreographer Susan Rethorst, New York’s Ivy Baldwin, and company artistic director Melanie Ríos Glaser. Known for a collaborative dancemaking process that enables youth to work side by side with internationally recognized choreographers, The Wooden Floor’s vision of contemporary dance dissolves ethnic, gender, class and age stereotypes in the service of creating transformative art. The Herb Alpert Award in the Arts, a fellowship program that supports innovative practitioners in the fields of dance, film/video, music, theater and visual arts, is administered by CalArts on behalf of The Herb Alpert Foundation.

JANUARY 20 LYNNE SACHS YOUR DAY IS MY NIGHT LOS ANGELES PREMIERE

FILM/VIDEO. Shot in the kitchens, bedrooms, wedding halls and mahjong parlors of New York’s Chinatown, Your Day Is My Night (2013, HD, 64 min.) is a provocative, many-layered hybrid documentary in which Lynne Sachs explores the immigrant stories that unfold in a “shift-bed” apartment—a domestic space “A strikingly handsome, meditative work… shared, due to economic necessity, by people neither in the same family nor a mixture of reportage, dreams, memories in a relationship. Seven characters ranging in age from 58 to 78 play themselves as Sachs transforms the shift-bed into a stage, illuminating a collective history and playacting.” —The Nation of Chinese immigration through intimate conversations, dreams, autobiographical monologues, songs and theatrical improvisations. Since 1994, Sachs’ experi- mental films have investigated the intricate relationships between personal observation and collective memory, notably in locations of international conflict such as Vietnam, Bosnia and Israel. In person: Lynne Sachs, cinematographer Sean Hanley Presented as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud. Additional works by Sachs are screened at Los Angeles Filmforum on Jan 19. Mon 8:30pm $10 [members $8]

JANUARY 24–MARCH 15 Pablo Bronstein Enlightenment Discourse on the Origins of Architecture

ART–PERFORMANCE. This newly commissioned project by Pablo Bronstein (Argentina, 1977) functions as a “staged essay” in which the London-based artist combines a series of drawings, sculptural furniture and choreography to articulate architectural themes from the naturalistic perspective of the Enlightenment. The series of drawings and furniture/buildings together create an intricate setting that represents a traditional 18th-century room. The furnishings are activated by a performer who opens, closes and rearranges the objects in the exhibition, and then returns them to their initial state by means of a set choreography. As the pieces change shape and location, the suite is transformed into an urban plaza reminiscent of the idealized view of a city in traditional Renaissance painting. While in their open position, the pieces create patterns that imitate the elements of a bourgeois city; when closed, they resemble an abstract representation of state power and order. By exaggerating their decorative and constructive morphology, Bronstein gives his objects an essential and practical function, creating a “real architecture” that emphasizes the archeological interests of Enlightenment thinkers, without focusing on the mythological or religious perspectives that dominated the era.

MUSIC–MULTIMEDIA. Taking its title from a key phrase in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s seminal “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” internationally acclaimed composer Yotam Haber’s soaring, impassioned three-movement work for orchestra, chorus, four soloists, electronic sound and video commemorates watershed events of the Civil Rights Movement that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963—in particular the fatal bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. Haber’s immense 75-minute opus is performed by the 80-member CalArts Orchestra and Choral Ensemble under the direction of Mark Menzies, and accompanied by a live soundscape created by Philip White and a silent documentary directed by filmmaker David Peterson. The text of the oratorio incorporates writings by Dr. King as well as oral histories and FBI records from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Commissioned by architect and philanthropist Tom Blount. Co-produced by The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center and The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts.

“Yotam Haber has not only composed a monument to Birmingham’s civil rights legacy, he has made an important contribution to a larger body of works that focus on historic world events.” —Birmingham News

FILM/VIDEO. Remastered and re-edited 17 years after its original release, Thom Andersen and Noël Burch’s insightful essay film Red Hollywood (1996/2013, digital video, 114 min.) still offers a radically different perspective on a key period in the history of American cinema. “The victims of the Hollywood blacklist have been canonized as martyrs, but their film work in Hollywood is still largely denigrated or ignored,” Andersen and Burch noted in 1996. “Red Hollywood considers this work to demonstrate how the Communists of Hollywood were sometimes able to express their ideas in the films they wrote and directed.” The work draws on extensive original research, interviews with blacklisted artists, and clips from 53 films that span numerous Force of Evil (1948), directed by Abraham Polonsky, is cited in Red Hollywood. genres and raise questions about war, race relations, class “A highly illuminating, groundbreaking, solidarity, women’s labor and the studio system itself.

FEBRUARY 4 Chase/Colpitts/ Krieger Percussion, Justly Tuned world PREMIERE

MUSIC. Brian Chase, John Colpitts and Ulrich Krieger— three innovators working the edges of rock and experimental composition—stir up pulsating soundscapes, at once intense and meditative. This three-part program focuses on just-intonation percussion instruments as expansive sonic tools rather than drivers of rhythm. Chase, drummer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, opens with a new iteration of his ongoing Drums and Drones for solo percussion and electronics, with live video projections by Ursula Scherrer. Krieger, of Metal Machine Trio (with the late Lou Reed) and Text of Light, follows with the nuanced Hit Men for percussion and electronics, revealing seldom-heard acoustic properties of snares, toms and cymbals. Closing out the program is Oneida drummer Colpitts, aka Kid Millions, who leads a performance of Ur Eternity—a rockin’ drone maelstrom for 10 percussion pieces and two basses. Tues 8:30pm $20 [members $16] Brian Chase. “Chase is able to make drums sing… A mind-bending recontextualization of the perceived

February 7–9 Miwa Matreyek This World Made Itself and Myth and Infrastructure

THEATER–MULTIMEDIA. Los Angeles multimedia performance artist Miwa Matreyek creates magical, visually rich fusions of intricate animation and live performance that leave audiences spellbound. Her latest solo work, This World Made Itself, merges cinematic vistas with theater and intricate shadow play. The fantastical kaleidoscopic experience is sophisticated yet full of childlike wonder, leading the audience through the history of the earth, from its birth to today’s complex and fast-paced world. The thematic journey is a spectacle of surrealistic metaphor and fantasy. Matreyek also performs Myth and Infrastructure, which traverses seascapes, cityscapes and domestic spaces to conjure dreamlike scenes with nuanced layers of light and shadow. Part of the Radar L.A. Artists in Action program, with generous support from ArtPlace America.

FEBRUARY 10 Far from Beijing: The State of Independent Chinese Cinema Cha Fang. LOS ANGELES PREMIERES

FILM/VIDEO. Two startling new documentaries attest to the growing decentralization of Chinese independent film to the farther reaches of the country. In Cha Fang (The Questioning, 2013, digital video, 21 min.), producer, festival programmer and distributor Zhu Rikun expands the seminal role he has played in independent cinema by turning filmmaker; his camera records an absurd hotel room confrontation with police during a visit with human rights activists in southeastern Jiangxi Province. In Yumen (2013, 16mm transferred to HD, 65 min.), J.P. Sniadecki of the Sensory Ethnography Lab teams with artist-filmmakers Xu Ruotao and Huang Xiang for an uncanny expressionist portrait of a largely abandoned oil-drilling town in the highlands of northwestern Gansu Province. The directors describe the work as “a fragmented tale of hungry souls and restless youth, bringing together narrative gesture, performance art and socialist realism into a crude and radiant collage.” In person: J.P. Sniadecki Presented as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud. Organized in collaboration with Los Angeles Filmforum. Mon 8:30pm $10 [members $8]

February 17 Jean Painlevé The Vampire, The Seahorse and the Octopus in Love

FILM/VIDEO. Twenty-five years after the death of nature film maverick Jean Painlevé, REDCAT gives a rare presentation—in glorious 35mm—of his most daring and exquisite achievements, including several of the legendary underwater films. Spanning decades, this program features The Seahorse (1934), The Vampire (1939), Shrimp Stories (1964) and The Love Life of the Octopus (1965), among others. Painlevé possessed an inquisitive eye, unerring in its view of nature’s subtle poetry. In more than 200 documentary shorts, he delivered serious scientific investigation as well as breathtaking beauty and dream-like drama, linking research, art, even anti-fascist politics. In the process, Painlevé scandalized the hidebound scientific community but also won over surrealists and avant-gardists— friends and collaborators such as Artaud, Eisenstein, Vigo, Buñuel, Calder, Rouch and Godard. In person: Marie Jager, Les Archives Jean Painlevé Presented as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud. Funded in part with generous support from the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles. Mon 8:30pm $10 [members $8] “Painlevé had a taste for beauty, researched it, and re-staged it in front of the camera—an undiscovered universe all the more fascinating because we know it is the one we live in.” —Cahiers du cinéma

February 27–March 9 The Wooster Group Cry, Trojans! (Troilus & Cressida) WEST COAST PREMIERE

THEATER–MULTIMEDIA. The Wooster Group’s newest production, Cry, Trojans! tackles the Trojan side of Shakespeare’s dark and scabrous Trojan War play about sincere love corrupted and the downfall of a noble hero. The piece originated as a co-production between The Wooster Group and the Royal Shakespeare Company for the World Shakespeare Festival, presented in conjunction with the 2012 London Olympics. In that version, the RSC played the Greeks and the Group played the Trojans. Director Elizabeth LeCompte and the Wooster Group have converted the collaboration into an independent piece, reimagining the Trojans as a pastiche fictional tribe of early Americans struggling to assert its dignity in the face of doom. Funded in part by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Thur Feb 27–Sat Mar 1, 8:30pm Sun Mar 2, 3pm Tues Mar 4–Sat Mar 8, 8:30pm Sun Mar 9, 3pm

CONVERSATIONS. Known as a compelling and brilliant speaker and performer, Fred Moten works at the intersection of performance, poetry and critical theory. In his lecture “The Sustain: Blackness and Poetry,” Moten discusses instances of black poetic inscription in visual, plastic and performance art. These inscriptions are by black artists, implying that there is such a thing as black poetic inscription and that many non-black artists engage in it. Through this talk, he seeks to shed light on some recent debates in the poetry world regarding race, politics, conceptualism and the form/purpose of the anthology. Professor of English at the University of California, Riverside, Moten is Theorist in Residence this spring in the CalArts Program in Aesthetics and Politics. Poet Douglas Kearney is on hand to lead a post-lecture Q&A. Presented in association with the CalArts MA Program in Aesthetics and Politics. Thur 8:30pm $10 [members $5]

MUSIC. A pianist of astonishing technique, the Dutch musical daredevil has focused on questions that often elude traditional notation: sound, timing, physicality, space, memory, noise, environment— and the points at which interpretation touches improvisation. Having premiered works by experimental composers such as , Alvin Curran, Maria de Alvear, Francisco López, John Oswald and Charlemagne Palestine, van Houdt brings a terrifically absorbing program of piano solos to Los Angeles. It includes the newly completed Concerto per la mano sinistra, for piano and umbrella, by Fluxus-affiliated legend Walter Marchetti; Luc Ferrari’s sound journal 36 Enfilades for piano and tape; and a piano variation of Chimanzzi by the eccentric genius Jerry Hunt.

APRIL 5–JUNE 1 Javier TÉllez

ART–FILM/VIDEO. For his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, the New York-based artist Javier Téllez (Venezuela, 1969) creates a new series of assemblages in the form of theatrical dioramas that highlight his ongoing investigation into the history of psychiatric institutions and societal definitions of normalcy. The point of departure for the exhibition is Téllez’s film O Rinoceronte de Dürer (Dürer‘s Rhinoceros, 2010) shot in the panopticon of the Miguel Bombarda Hospital in collaboration with psychiatric patients. Built in 1896 within the compounds of the largest psychiatric facility in Lisbon, the panopticon was designed as a prison for the criminally insane, following the original plans of Jeremy Bentham. The site provides the focal theme of the narrative, in which the patients imagine themselves as the inhabitants of the former asylum and perform fictional scenarios within their assigned cells. Téllez’s dioramas feature a collection of objects that refer to the history and development of psychiatric institutions and treatments. The project appears as a trompe l’oeil of the delirious narrative of objects, characters and historical moments in the development of psychiatric methods, with references to renowned figures such as Antonin Artaud, Robert Walser, Unica Zürn, Adolf Wölfli and Daniel Paul Schreber, known for articulating unique vocabularies informed by their conditions. This exhibition is co-produced with Kadist Art Foundation, . Funded in part with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Price’s uncompromising work has been presented at storefront cinemas, underground performance venues and, in recent years, museums such as MoMA and the Whitney.

APRIL 9 Vinny Golia Large Ensemble WORLD PREMIEREs

MUSIC. Formed by vaunted L.A. composer and multi-instrumental improviser Vinny Golia to perform his ambitiously scaled original compositions, the Large Ensemble has been a powerhouse of the west coast creative music scene for three decades. Now numbering more than 40 virtuoso performers, the orchestra blends Golia’s intricately notated contemporary chamber music with crackerjack improvisation, incorporating extended instrumental techniques, 20th-century idioms and world music concepts. Only a fraction of the orchestra’s huge repertoire is performed live more than once—making each concert a can’t-miss occasion. The Large Ensemble’s latest incarnation is built around the Vinny Golia Electric Sextet: Golia on a dizzying array of winds, plus trumpeter Daniel Rosenboom, saxophonist Gavin Templeton, guitarist Alex Noice, bassist Jon Armstrong and drummer Andrew Lessman. For the first time, the orchestra also features a vocalist, Andrea Young. “Mingus meets Wed 8:30pm $20 [members $16]

“Hills breaks down standard sounds and images, transforming them into perceptive alternatives, political critiques, and a search for occult, creative expressions that have not been said or explored before.” —Mónica Savirón APRIL 28 THE ART of COLLISION: MONTAGE FILMS by HENRY HILLS

FILM/VIDeo. Uncovering the ethereal in the mundane and the abstract in the naturalistic, Henry Hills activates a heightened attentiveness in viewers through his signature use of montage— intensely concentrated, rhythmically complex, and replete with eccentric wit. A celebrated maker of experimental film since 1975, Hills has collaborated with New York “Language” poets, composer John Zorn and choreographer Sally Silvers, among other artists. The former longtime resident of the East Village now teaches at FAMU, the Czech national film academy in Prague, and lives in Vienna. Hills’ recent short arcana (2011, digital video, 30 min.) has collected top prizes at Curtas Vila do Conde in Portugal and the Melbourne International Film Festival.

FILM/VIDEO. A novelist–turned–artist, photographer and videomaker, Juan Manuel Echavarría screens two films in which peasants in his native Colombia devise original ways of coping with entrenched everyday violence—bloody conflict among guerrillas, army, paramilitaries and drug traffickers that has persisted for decades. In Bocas de Ceniza (Mouths of Ash, 2003–04, digital video, 18 min.), subjects look directly to the camera and mourn the toll of violence in individually created folk Réquiem NN. songs. The second documentary, Réquiem NN ( 2013, digital video, 67 min.), takes place in the town of Puerto Berrío on the Magdalena “A touching visual essay River—from which local residents regularly fish out the remains of victims of violence.

June 6–7 Partch: Boo Intrusions

MUSIC. Having augmented its already dazzling array of custom-built microtonal instruments with a brand-new “BOO”—a justly tuned bamboo marimba—the Grammy-nominated ensemble devoted to the music of American creative iconoclast Harry Partch returns to REDCAT. The group showcases the BOO in the composer’s final 1968 iteration of Barstow: Eight Hitchhiker Inscriptions, a cycle of “song-settings” first begun in 1941. Also featured are settings of Isleta chant in Partch’s chamber music masterpiece Eleven Intrusions (1949–50); the haunting Dark Brother (1943); and San Francisco: A Setting of the Cries of Two Newsboys on a Street Corner (1943)—first presented during Partch’s Carnegie Hall Harry Partch. debut. Music by a kindred spirit rounds out the lineup as the ensemble “Funny, moving, inventive and insanely theatrical… plays John Luther Adams’ Five Athabascan Dances (1995). An unforgettable performance.” —San Francisco Chronicle Fri–Sat 8:30pm $25 [members $20]

June 27-August 24 Allora & Calzadilla

ART–PERFORMANCE. REDCAT hosts the first Los Angeles exhibition by the Puerto Rico-based duo of Jennifer Allora (USA, 1974) and Guillermo Calzadilla (Cuba, 1971). Inspired by particular historical events, Allora & Calzadilla’s videos, sound pieces, installations, sculptures, performances and interventions explore areas of social and political tension. Their work could be considered as a set of artistic experiments that put to test notions of authorship, nationality, borders and democracy, as well as their significance within contemporary global conditions. The works presented at REDCAT result from the artists’ research into the historical applications of music, its role in influencing the behavior of individuals and communities, and the sonic dimension of the battlefield. The exhibition includes a selection of videos and the premiere of a new performance installation. Funded in part with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Opening Reception: Fri June 27, 6–9pm Exhibition hours: Tues–Sun 12–6 pm or through intermission Free
