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.

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] REDCAT IS CALARTS’ DOWNTOWN CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS IN THE GALLERY 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.

  • Mills College Pushes the Limits of Contemporary Sound, Oakland Magazine
    The Evolution Mills College Pushes n 1946,a young pianist from Concord, Calif., fresh from his army service in World War II, enrolled as a graduate student in music at Mills College iIn Oakland. He had chosen Mills, best known as a liberal arts school for women, because his older brother was teaching music there under Darius Milhaud, the prolific jazz-influenced French composer who had emigrated to Oakland from war- torn Paris in 1940. Although David Warren Brubeck did not finish his master’s degree, he did launch an illustrious jazz career while studying polytonality and polyrhythms with Milhaud: By 1951 he had formed the immensely popular Dave Brubeck Quartet, which, among other accomplishments, recorded the best-selling jazz single of all time, 1959’s “Take Five.” Brubeck may be Mills College’s most famous former music student, but he is hardly the lone star on a roster that includes Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, minimalist composer Steve Reich, pop performance artist Laurie Anderson and current freak- folk star Joanna Newsom. Nonetheless, the music program at Mills remains one of Oakland’s best-kept secrets, better known to avant-garde music connoisseurs worldwide than to general music audiences in the Bay Area. “Because we are progressive and try to push the limits, what we do here is mar- ginalized on the boundaries of the music world,” says David Bernstein, who has taught music theory, analysis and historical musicology at Mills since 1989. “The Bay Area is a free-thinking place, but new Percussion instructor William Winant (this page) strikes out toward the future in his Mills College studio.

  • Chris Brown's Six Primes
    Chris Brown’s Six Primes (2014), for retuned piano in 13-limit just intonation, is like a six-course, fifty-minute microtonal meal: The unique flavors of each new course surprise and delight! The idiosyncratic tuning, shifting modes, asymmetrical rhythmic patterns, and expressive moods are engrossing, and even more so upon repeated listening. The composer premiered Six Primes at the Center for New Music in San Francisco, California, on June 24, 2014. Composer, pianist, and electronic musician Chris Brown composes music for traditional instruments, acoustic instruments with interactive electronics, improvisers, and computer networks. With this new piece—drawing on the Rhythmicana ideas of Henry Cowell, the pure keyboard focus of Conlon Nancarrow, the affection for just intonation of Lou Harrison, and the unadulterated clarity of mathematical process of James Tenney—Brown is staunchly positioned, aesthetically, as a West Coast American experimentalist. Upon hearing Brown’s masterly performance of this virtuosic, contemporary work, it is surprising to learn that he spent a whole year of his early life practicing almost nothing but Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54 (1841), though that explains in part where he got his serious piano chops. Brown was born in 1953 in Mendota, Illinois, a small town ninety miles west of Chicago, and then spent his first few years in Minneapolis. In 1958, his family moved to the Philippines, where Brown lived from age five until nine while his parents worked as missionaries.
