After the success of last year’s Layla Means Night, which featured both dancers in a choose-your-own-adven- ture production of the story of Scheherazade, sinuous and emotional Persian dance takes center stage in this shared evening of work. Berenji, who is also a scholar, ethnologist, and archaeologist hailing from Iran, premieres two solos, The Persian Garden, inspired by Persian miniature art, and Dance of the Soul, which explores the mystical Sufi movement. Persian musicians Samandar De- hghani and Saman Mahmoudi will accompany Berenji live. Bay Area native Khorsandi combines traditional Persian dance with contemporary dance in her Game 2009 piece Transcendence, which features the live performance of Mahmoud Zoufonon’s original score and the poetry of Omar Khayyam. In the spirit of cultural exchange, ODC offers a special master class with the choreographers on Feb. 17 that includes a ticket to the show.

  • Sample Chapters. - Bio + Contact
    CONTENTS. - hello. - overview + design. - talent highlights. - marketing + pr. - competitive analysis. - sample chapters. - bio + contact. DAVID CROSS HELLO. Hi. Welcome. Mandee Johnson here, one of the producers and creators of The Super Serious Show. Joel Mandelkorn, my co-producer and partner is here too... We started The Super Serious Show in the summer of 2010 at a time when the independent comedy scene in Los Angeles was lacking shows presented and produced outside established comedy venues. We set out to build a stand-up show that represented everything we loved. An hour pre-party with great music, an amazing food truck for cheap eats, free beer/wine, and a well curated lineup. We are not comedians. We are producers. I’m also a photographer... Obviously. The portraits started off with a simple goal: document the comedians on the show. To capture each comedian at this time and place I took two 4x5 Polaroids (one serious and one silly) at The Super Serious Show. Over the last nine years the series has grown, the portraits are an iconic symbol of the show and the independent comedy. It also became a deeply personal series to me - it not only documents the comedians themselves but a moment in time in comedy history. To be clear, we didn’t start this show with big plans. We started it to be a part of the comedy community. I definitely didn’t start shooting the portraits to create a series with over 1,000 portraits, but here we are.
