An Associate Company of Joyce Theater Productions, Malpaso — together with The Joyce — has commissioned original works from a number of prominent North American choreographers including Ron K. Brown (Why You Follow), Trey McIntyre (Under Fire), and — most recently — acclaimed Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton. Touted as "totally engrossing" (Palm Beach Arts Paper), Barton's work Indomitable Waltz was supported with a production and touring grant from The National Dance Project and made its world premiere in Havana-Cuba in Fall 2016. The company has also recently premiered Dreaming of Lions, a new full-length commission choreographed by Osnel Delgado, featuring an original score composed by Grammy award-winning, Cuban-American composer Arturo O’Farrill, performed by the Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble. The work was inspired by the classic Hemingway novella "The Old Man and the Sea" and had its US premiere at Duke Performances in Durham-NC in Feb. 2017 followed by a NYC premiere at The Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Harvey Theater. Other active rep includes: 24 Hours and a Dog, also by Delgado and featuring music by O’Farrill, Bad Winter by Trey McIntyre and Face the Torrent, a new creation by Sonya Tayeh, commissioned by and set to premiere at Los Angeles Music Center in Dec. 2017.

THE MUSIC CENTER | PERFORMING ARTS CENTER OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY 4 ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER OSNEL DELGADO Founder, Artistic Director, Dancer, and Choreographer “[Osnel] Delgado studied tuition-free at the National School of Dance, as did both his parents and as do most professional modern dancers in Cuba, unless they train at one of the island’s excellent ballet schools. After he graduated, he joined Danza Contemporánea de Cuba, the country’s foremost modern dance troupe, founded by Mr. Guerra in 1959. In 2011, the company made its first United States tour. Mr. Delgado’s performance at the Joyce Theater in New York was a moment of triumph, but at 25 he had already decided to break off on his own as a choreographer. Everyone told him he was making the wrong move…It’s called Malpaso, which in Spanish means “misstep.” His wrong move came at the right time.” - Brian Seibert, TheNewYorkTimes "[Mr. Delgado's] finely kneaded movement, which almost makes you want to grab it in fistfuls, buoys into and out of the ground with delectable ease." Photo by Alex Boerner - Siobhan Burke, TheNewYorkTimes ABOUT THE COMPOSER ARTURO O’FARRILL AND THE AFRO LATIN JAZZ ORCHESTRA The GRAMMY award winning Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra (ALJO), led by pianist, composer, and director Arturo O’Farrill, brings together the drama of big band jazz, the culture of Latin music, and the virtuosity of eighteen of the world’s most accomplished solo musicians.

The orchestra’s debut album Una Noche Inolvidable was a 2006 GRAMMY nominee and their second; Song for Chico (ZOHO) won the Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album of the Year in 2008.

  • THE SOUND of MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles
    experienceL.A. THE SOUND OF MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles THE SOUND OF MUSIC The Sound of Music is a stage and film musical based on The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, the memoir of Maria von Trapp. The story takes place in Austria at the brink of World War II. Maria, a plucky nun turned governess, is charged with caring for the seven children of a military captain. Maria’s delightful teaching of music to the children leads to their becoming a celebrated touring act, the innocence of which is shattered as the realities of Nazi rule become inescapable. Notably, many details of the von Trapp family story were changed to increase the dramatic impact of the musical version. Inspired by a pair of German films about the von Trapps from the mid-1950s, the stage version of The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959. The production won multiple Tony Awards, and the show has been revived many times since, including a renowned 1998 Broadway revival. The 1965 film version starring Julie Andrews won five Academy Awards and is still beloved today by viewers around the world. Written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the songs of The Sound of Music—including “My Favorite Things,” “Do, Re, Mi,” “Edelweiss,” and the title song—have been celebrated for more than half a century. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein were one of the most prolific, successful songwriting teams in the history of musical theatre. The pair’s first collaboration, Oklahoma! (1943), marked the start of a new theatrical genre: the musical play, which combined elements of musical comedy, operetta, and drama.

    MORPHOSIS 5960 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood 2014 Emerson College opened this Morphosis-designed, glass-and- aluminum satellite campus in Hollywood in 2014. While Emerson has been Boston-based since the nineteenth century and has long focused on the performing arts, the Los Angeles campus aims to boost graduates’ job prospects by allowing them to spend semesters in the company of the area’s entertainment industry giants. The campus, which features a first-rate view of the Hollywood sign, firmly indicates Emerson’s prominent role as an entertainment industry educator. A sculptural, free-form base connects the two rectangular ten-story towers that make up this 107,400-square-foot building on LOS ANGELES Sunset Boulevard. An overhead bridge anchors two towers, which serve as student residences. The base features lecture halls, black box theaters, and other educational and performance spaces. In order to maximize the creative possibilities of the building, Morphosis’s design includes rigging for film-quality lighting and sound through most of the interior and exterior spaces, so that students may spontaneously transform them into sets or a stage. Thanks to Morphosis’s smart balance of window shading for heat reduction and use of the abundant natural light, the Emerson campus is anticipated to receive a LEED Gold rating. In addition, solar panels cover the rooftop of the west tower, providing enough energy to heat the building’s hot water.
