Kristy Edmunds, the founder of PICA,and now CAP UCLA visionary, forced Thomas MEOW MEOW and I together some years ago because she had “a feeling” about the magic we Post-post-modern diva Meow Meow has hypnotized, inspired, and terrified audiences might make together if we met.

THOMAS M. LAUDERDALE (piano) Thomas Lauderdale was raised on a plant nursery in rural Indiana. He began piano lessons at age six with Patricia Garrison. When his family moved to Portland in 1982, he began studying with Sylvia Killman, who to this day continues to serve as Photo by Karl Giant his coach and mentor. He has appeared as soloist with numerous orchestras and ensembles, including the , the Seattle Symphony, the Portland Youth Philharmonic, Chamber Music Northwest and Oregon Ballet Theatre (where he collaborated with choreographer James Canfield and visual artists Storm Tharp and Malia Jensen on a ballet based on Felix Salten’s Bambi, written in 1923). In 2008, he played Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F with the Oregon Symphony under the direction of Christoph Campestrini. Lauderdale returned as soloist with the Oregon Symphony in multiple concerts in 2011, and again in 2015, under the direction of Carlos Kalmar. In 2017, he and his partner Hunter Noack created and performed a dazzling, rhapsodic two-piano arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with choreographer Nicolo Fonte for Oregon Ballet Theatre.

Active in Oregon politics since a student at U.S. Grant High School (where he was student body president), Thomas served under Portland Mayor Bud Clark and Oregon governor Neil Goldschmidt. In 1991, he worked under Portland City Commissioner Gretchen Kafoury on the drafting and passage of the city’s civil rights ordinance. He graduated with honors from Harvard with a degree in History and Literature in 1992. He spent most of his collegiate years, however, in cocktail dresses, taking on the role of “cruise director” … throwing waltzes with live orchestras and ice sculptures, disco masquerades with gigantic pineapples on wheels, midnight swimming parties, and operating a Tuesday night coffeehouse called Café Mardi.

Instead of running for political office, Lauderdale founded Pink Martini in 1994 to play political fundraisers for progressive causes such as civil rights, the environment, affordable housing and public broadcasting. In addition to his work with Pink Martini, Lauderdale is currently working on three different recording Art in Action projects with international superstar and singing sensation Meow Meow, the surf band Satan’s Pilgrims and singer/civil rights leader Kathleen Saadat. “Art in Action is somewhere between an academic symposium and the In Spring 2008, Lauderdale completed his first film score for Chiara Clemente’s vibrancy of an eagerly awaiting coloring book. This is where we explore in documentary Our City Dreams, a portrait of five New York City-based women artists of different generations. In 2016, Lauderdale created the score and three public to release the energetic potential of sharing ideas together.” featured songs for the Belgian film Souvenir, starring the legendary French actress —Kristy Edmunds Isabelle Huppert.

This season, we’re continuing two ongoing initiatives and introducing a third. Writing the Landscape returns with new takes on the Poetry Bureau and special activities with our library partners, exploring how the impulse to make something results in an altered land- scape, or new view. Hearing Beyond Listening devises ways to “listen better,” with artist- curated playlists, personalized music maps, intimate salons, and the now popular, CAP Listening Lab. A new series of programs, Facing the Blank Page, takes direct inspiration from this season’s the theater is a blank page. Activities throughout the season will investigate how we transmit traces of ourselves through the written word, movement, sound and imagery. cap.ucla.edu/ArtInAction CODA21

CODA21 is a pilot initiative that supports dialogue, research, and collaboratively designed experiments between UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance and leading research cen- ters and labs across campus. Collaborating labs include Denise Cai and Silvalab, a leading neuroscience research lab studying molecular and cellular cognition; Hakwan Lau and the Consciousness & Metacognition Lab; the Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity; and the Design Media Arts Lab.

Informing CODA21’s design is the belief that the students at UCLA represent the conditions emblematic of society at large. Economic anxiety, homogeneous living arrangements, and media saturation imposing gender and racial stereotypes have seriously eroded the acade- my’s critical role in fostering a pluralistic, tolerant, progressive, and socially interdependent community. Curriculum is increasingly limited in its ability to play this historic role. The remaining antidote is a thoughtfully curated arts presenting program like CAP UCLA, an interdisciplinary learning experience offering students and the extended audience exposure, through live performance to artists who represent the diversity of traditions, ethnicities, gender roles, and aesthetics reflective of the demographic terrain in which we all work and live. Through its experimental collaboration, CODA21 seeks to confirm, amplify, and enhance this crucial role.
