  • Hash(Tag) America at Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood on Monday, November 18, at 8:30Pm
    1042 N. Vista Street #8, West Hollywood, CA 90046 • 323.845.9781 [email protected] Chris Isaacson Presents in association with The VFC Project has announced #Hash(tag) America at Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood on Monday, November 18, at 8:30pm. #Hash(tag) America is a new theatrical musical, an urgent urban rock concert, and a soul stirring personal testimonial all rolled into one powerful explosion of sound, youth, diversity and truth. Set against original musical collaborations by Anthony Fedorov and other artists, this inspirational new musical explores true stories of social justice, gender identity, race, immigration, and economic inequalities within the fabric of the American experience. #Hash(tag) America began as a concept album entitled Calling On You (co-produced by Anthony Fedorov and Grammy Award-winner Jeeve Ducornet) from a successfully funded 2016 Kickstarter campaign. Los Angeles will be treated to a concert version of the show first performed to a rousing audience and critical response at New York’s The Green Room 42. — MORE— AT CATALINA JAZZ CLUB IN HOLLYWOOD [Page 2] Joining Fedorov (American Idol, Rent), Isa Briones (Star Trek: Picard, Hamilton), and Eden Espinosa (Falsettos, Wicked, Rent) will be Kyle Carter (The Lion King, In the Heights), Christina Sajous (SpongeBob SquarePants, Spiderman, American Idiot), and Heath Saunders (Alice By Heart, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on FOX). Said Fedorov, “In the wake of our current political climate and as an immigrant myself, I felt like I had to do something. I started writing songs about racism, gun violence, and discrimination, and creating a show that will hopefully bring people together in these difficult times.

  • Newsletter Sep 2011
    In a quiet moment I sat in our back yard, basking in the golden hues and mellow warmth of the Autumn afternoon. Memories of summer gone remained; happy, glorious moments. Crossing Georgia Strait in our sailboat, the ocean so incredibly calm I was able to do an entire yoga practice on the bow. In the past I had found it difficult to concentrate with so many sensory distractions. Constantly present is the sense of the ocean and every single sound carried by the salty air. When I approached Marlene on this issue, she told me to simply “become the sound”, “ be the motion.” So I sat blissfully in swastikasana, rocking gently with the rhythm of the boat. When I opened my eyes, the sea was a stunningly crisp, blue expanse. The sun brilliant and breeze so very soft; I was on a bolster of happiness. How different it was from our return crossing. In that difficult sea, the wind was cold and biting. Waves crashed onto the deck and our boat rocked back and forth, up, down and sideways like a crazy horse. I had to summon up a bit of faith. I recalled what wonderful gift yoga has been to me. It is a practise you can take with you and do anytime, anywhere in the world. Your practise can be structured to improve weakness and help heal injuries. Yoga has slowly made so many positive changes not just in my body, but in my life. Autumn, for me, is synonymous with the harvest. It is a time to not only give thanks for the fruits of our labour but for all of the beauty and grace in our world.
