envisioned by Walt Disney encompasses a vibrant, eclectic community
with global reach, inviting experimentation, independent inquiry, and
active collaboration and exchange among artists, artistic disciplines and
cultural traditions. Based in Valencia, north of Los Angeles, CalArts further
extends its commitment to the arts through REDCAT and the nationally
emulated Community Arts Partnership (CAP) youth arts program.

The Wooden
Floor
Herb Alpert Award Artist– Dance. 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.

LYNNE SACHS
YOUR DAY IS MY NIGHT
LOS ANGELES PREMIERE
FILM/VIDEO. 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
shared, due to economic necessity, by people neither in the same family nor
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
of Chinese immigration through intimate conversations, dreams, autobiographical
monologues, songs and theatrical improvisations. Since 1994, Sachs’ experimental films have investigated the intricate relationships between personal
observation and collective memory, notably in locations of international conflict
such as Vietnam, Bosnia and Israel.
“A strikingly handsome, meditative work…
a mixture of reportage, dreams, memories
and playacting.” —The Nation
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.

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.

A More Convenient
Season
Composed by Yotam Haber
WEST COAST PREMIERE
MUSIC– MULTIMEDIA. Taking its title from a key phrase in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s
seminal “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” internationally acclaimed composer Yotam
Haber’s soaring, impassioned three-movement work for orchestra, chorus, four soloists,
electronic sound and video commemorates watershed events of the Civil Rights
Movement that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963—in particular the fatal
bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. Haber’s immense 75-minute opus is
performed by the 80-member CalArts Orchestra and Choral Ensemble under the
direction of Mark Menzies, and accompanied by a live soundscape created by
Philip White and a silent documentary directed by filmmaker David Peterson. The text
of the oratorio incorporates writings by Dr. King as well as oral histories and FBI records
from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
Commissioned by architect and philanthropist Tom Blount. Co-produced by The University of Alabama
at Birmingham’s Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center and The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts.
Sat 8:30pm & Sun 3pm $30 [members $24]
“Yotam Haber has not only composed
a monument to Birmingham’s civil rights legacy,
he has made an important contribution
to a larger body of works that focus on historic
world events.” —Birmingham News

RED HOLLYWOOD
Thom Andersen
and Noël Burch
FILM/VIDEO. Remastered and re-edited 17 years after its original
release, Thom Andersen and Noël Burch’s insightful essay film
Red Hollywood (1996/2013, digital video, 114 min.) still offers a
radically different perspective on a key period in the history of
American cinema. “The victims of the Hollywood blacklist have
been canonized as martyrs, but their film work in Hollywood is
still largely denigrated or ignored,” Andersen and Burch noted
in 1996. “Red Hollywood considers this work to demonstrate
how the Communists of Hollywood were sometimes able to
express their ideas in the films they wrote and directed.” The
work draws on extensive original research, interviews with
blacklisted artists, and clips from 53 films that span numerous
genres and raise questions about war, race relations, class
solidarity, women’s labor and the studio system itself.

Percussion, Justly Tuned
world PREMIERE
MUSIC. Brian Chase, John Colpitts and Ulrich Krieger—
three innovators working the edges of rock and experimental
composition—stir up pulsating soundscapes, at once intense
and meditative. This three-part program focuses on just-intonation
percussion instruments as expansive sonic tools rather than
drivers of rhythm. Chase, drummer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
opens with a new iteration of his ongoing Drums and Drones
for solo percussion and electronics, with live video projections
by Ursula Scherrer. Krieger, of Metal Machine Trio (with the late
Lou Reed) and Text of Light, follows with the nuanced Hit Men
for percussion and electronics, revealing seldom-heard acoustic
properties of snares, toms and cymbals. Closing out the program
is Oneida drummer Colpitts, aka Kid Millions, who leads a
performance of Ur Eternity—a rockin’ drone maelstrom for
10 percussion pieces and two basses.

Miwa Matreyek
This World Made Itself
and
Myth and Infrastructure
Los Angeles multimedia performance artist
Miwa Matreyek creates magical, visually rich fusions of intricate
animation and live performance that leave audiences spellbound.
Her latest solo work, This World Made Itself, merges cinematic vistas
with theater and intricate shadow play. The fantastical kaleidoscopic
experience is sophisticated yet full of childlike wonder, leading the
audience through the history of the earth, from its birth to today’s
complex and fast-paced world. The thematic journey is a spectacle
of surrealistic metaphor and fantasy. Matreyek also performs Myth
and Infrastructure, which traverses seascapes, cityscapes and
domestic spaces to conjure dreamlike scenes with nuanced layers
of light and shadow.

Far from Beijing:

The State of Independent Chinese Cinema
LOS ANGELES PREMIERES
FILM/VIDEO. Two startling new documentaries attest to the growing decentralization of Chinese
independent film to the farther reaches of the country. In Cha Fang (The Questioning, 2013, digital video,
21 min.), producer, festival programmer and distributor Zhu Rikun expands the seminal role he has played
in independent cinema by turning filmmaker; his camera records an absurd hotel room confrontation with
police during a visit with human rights activists in southeastern Jiangxi Province. In Yumen (2013, 16mm
transferred to HD, 65 min.), J.P. Sniadecki of the Sensory Ethnography Lab teams with artist-filmmakers
Xu Ruotao and Huang Xiang for an uncanny expressionist portrait of a largely abandoned oil-drilling town
in the highlands of northwestern Gansu Province. The directors describe the work as “a fragmented tale
of hungry souls and restless youth, bringing together narrative gesture, performance art and socialist
realism into a crude and radiant collage.”

Jean Painlevé
The Vampire, The Seahorse and the Octopus in Love
FILM/VIDEO. Twenty-five years after the death of nature film maverick Jean Painlevé, REDCAT gives
a rare presentation—in glorious 35mm—of his most daring and exquisite achievements, including
several of the legendary underwater films. Spanning decades, this program features The Seahorse
(1934), The Vampire (1939), Shrimp Stories (1964) and The Love Life of the Octopus (1965), among
others. Painlevé possessed an inquisitive eye, unerring in its view of nature’s subtle poetry. In more
than 200 documentary shorts, he delivered serious scientific investigation as well as breathtaking
beauty and dream-like drama, linking research, art, even anti-fascist politics. In the process, Painlevé
scandalized the hidebound scientific community but also won over surrealists and avant-gardists—
friends and collaborators such as Artaud, Eisenstein, Vigo, Buñuel, Calder, Rouch and Godard.

The Wooster Group
Cry, Trojans! (Troilus & Cressida)
WEST COAST PREMIERE
THEATER– MULTIMEDIA. The Wooster Group’s newest production, Cry, Trojans! tackles the Trojan side of
Shakespeare’s dark and scabrous Trojan War play about sincere love corrupted and the downfall of a noble
hero. The piece originated as a co-production between The Wooster Group and the Royal Shakespeare
Company for the World Shakespeare Festival, presented in conjunction with the 2012 London Olympics.
In that version, the RSC played the Greeks and the Group played the Trojans. Director Elizabeth LeCompte
and the Wooster Group have converted the collaboration into an independent piece, reimagining the
Trojans as a pastiche fictional tribe of early Americans struggling to assert its dignity in the face of doom.
Funded in part by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Fred Moten
The Sustain: Blackness and Poetry
CONVERSATIONS. Known as a compelling and brilliant speaker and performer,
Fred Moten works at the intersection of performance, poetry and critical
theory. In his lecture “The Sustain: Blackness and Poetry,” Moten discusses
instances of black poetic inscription in visual, plastic and performance art.
These inscriptions are by black artists, implying that there is such a thing as
black poetic inscription and that many non-black artists engage in it. Through
this talk, he seeks to shed light on some recent debates in the poetry world
regarding race, politics, conceptualism and the form/purpose of the anthology.
Professor of English at the University of California, Riverside, Moten is Theorist
in Residence this spring in the CalArts Program in Aesthetics and Politics.
Poet Douglas Kearney is on hand to lead a post-lecture Q&A.

MUSIC. A pianist of astonishing technique, the Dutch musical daredevil has focused on questions
that often elude traditional notation: sound, timing, physicality, space, memory, noise, environment—
and the points at which interpretation touches improvisation. Having premiered works by
experimental composers such as Robert Ashley, Alvin Curran, Maria de Alvear, Francisco López,
John Oswald and Charlemagne Palestine, van Houdt brings a terrifically absorbing program of
piano solos to Los Angeles. It includes the newly completed Concerto per la mano sinistra, for piano
and umbrella, by Fluxus-affiliated legend Walter Marchetti; Luc Ferrari’s sound journal 36 Enfilades
for piano and tape; and a piano variation of Chimanzzi by the eccentric Texas genius Jerry Hunt.

Collapse
WORLD PREMIERE
MUSIC–THEATER– MULTIMEDIA. The vocal stylings of mesmeric frontman Timur Bekbosunov join with haunting
experimental chamber music and the stagecraft of post-punk cabaret in the world premiere of Collapse, an
operatic song cycle composed as a requiem mass by Daniel Corral, who is also the ensemble’s music director.
Backed by a five-piece band (accordion, viola, guitar, bass and drums), classically trained Kazakh-born tenor
Bekbosunov brings urgent dramatic figuration to Corral’s laments of environmental degradation past, present
and impending. Timur and the Dime Museum are accompanied by video projections created and live-mixed
by artist Jesse Gilbert.

Twenty Looks or

at the Judson Church (L)
west coast premiere
Photo: Miana Jun
Dance–Theater. With a bold theatrical vision and a potent score of remixed
pop, electronica and more, Trajal Harrell concocts an intoxicating blend
of strutting, voguing, extravagantly outré fashion and irresistible movement
in the latest and largest edition of his acclaimed series of works inspired by
a provocative question: What if the Harlem ball culture of the 1960s had
paraded its way into downtown New York’s early postmodern dance scene?
This speculation is smartly brought into a contemporary context through
Harrell’s choreography for an international ensemble of virtuosic dancers.
As a genre-bending exploration of race, gender, sexuality, culture and
history, the resulting Antigone Sr. is much more than a fierce, all-male take on
the classic tragedy. It serves up a revelatory investigation of Sophocles’
themes, set to dance music with deep bass.

APRIL 5–JUNE 1
Javier TÉllez
ART– FILM/VIDEO. For his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, the New York-based artist Javier Téllez
(Venezuela, 1969) creates a new series of assemblages in the form of theatrical dioramas that
highlight his ongoing investigation into the history of psychiatric institutions and societal definitions
of normalcy. The point of departure for the exhibition is Téllez’s film O Rinoceronte de Dürer
(Dürer‘s Rhinoceros, 2010) shot in the panopticon of the Miguel Bombarda Hospital in collaboration
with psychiatric patients. Built in 1896 within the compounds of the largest psychiatric facility in
Lisbon, the panopticon was designed as a prison for the criminally insane, following the original
plans of Jeremy Bentham. The site provides the focal theme of the narrative, in which the patients
imagine themselves as the inhabitants of the former asylum and perform fictional scenarios within
their assigned cells. Téllez’s dioramas feature a collection of objects that refer to the history and
development of psychiatric institutions and treatments. The project appears as a trompe l’oeil of
the delirious narrative of objects, characters and historical moments in the development of
psychiatric methods, with references to renowned figures such as Antonin Artaud, Robert Walser,
Unica Zürn, Adolf Wölfli and Daniel Paul Schreber, known for articulating unique vocabularies
informed by their conditions.
This exhibition is co-produced with Kadist Art Foundation, San Francisco.

WORLD PREMIERE
FILM/VIDEO. Luther Price’s painstakingly
handcrafted films and slides are truly one of a
kind as the artist layers viscerally distressed
found film strips with provocative images,
anarchic visual patterns, dirt, mold and other
detritus in a sensuous, even ecstatic, vision
of entropy and mortality—inscribed directly
onto the film medium. Price’s uncompromising
work has been presented at storefront cinemas,
underground performance venues and, in
recent years, museums such as MoMA and
the Whitney. The program features two slide
projection pieces, including Light Fractures
(2013), several Super 8 films, and a new
16mm film.

Vinny Golia
Large Ensemble
WORLD PREMIEREs
MUSIC. Formed by vaunted L.A. composer and multi-instrumental improviser Vinny Golia to
perform his ambitiously scaled original compositions, the Large Ensemble has been a powerhouse
of the west coast creative music scene for three decades. Now numbering more than 40 virtuoso
performers, the orchestra blends Golia’s intricately notated contemporary chamber music with
crackerjack improvisation, incorporating extended instrumental techniques, 20th-century idioms
and world music concepts. Only a fraction of the orchestra’s huge repertoire is performed live more
than once—making each concert a can’t-miss occasion. The Large Ensemble’s latest incarnation
is built around the Vinny Golia Electric Sextet: Golia on a dizzying array of winds, plus trumpeter
Daniel Rosenboom, saxophonist Gavin Templeton, guitarist Alex Noice, bassist Jon Armstrong and
drummer Andrew Lessman. For the first time, the orchestra also features a vocalist, Andrea Young.

composition, Anne LeBaron has used her music to explore
a range of fanciful subjects and stories—from the
mysterious Singing Dune of Kazakhstan to figures such
as the apocryphal cross-dressing Pope Joan and Voodoo
queen Marie Laveau. Surveying four decades of
adventurous musicmaking—honored with the Herb Alpert

Shelly Silver: Intimate Visions
and Public Spaces
FILM/VIDEO. This screening of two works by Shelly Silver begins with What I’m Looking For
(2004, digital video, 15 min.), the second in her trilogy of fictional essay films shot in public
spaces, which explores the relationship between a female photographer and subjects
met on the Internet. The program continues with Touch (2013, digital video, 68 min.), in
which a gay man recounts, mostly in Mandarin, his return to New York’s Chinatown after
50 years in order to care for his dying mother. Like the narrator—a librarian, cataloguer and
recorder—the city has changed and yet the past still haunts familiar streets. The character
is an invention of the filmmaker, but as her narrator confides, “words make the impossible
imaginable, therefore possible.” Currently chair of Columbia’s Visual Arts Program,
Silver has utilized video, film and still photography to investigate contested territories
between public and private, narrative and documentary, the watcher and the watched.
“By staking her right to documentary
material as well as fictional writing,
Shelly Silver sizes up the likelihood
of an imaginary point of view reaching
a truth more subtle than
autobiographical truth.”
—Cinéma du Réel

Presented as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud.

ROCCO
DANCE–THEATER. Choose a ringside seat for this intensely physical dance event
set in a stylized boxing ring and the sweat produced by this remarkable
Amsterdam-based company may become part of the experience. In ROCCO,
choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter Scholten put dancers face to face in
a suite of choreographed bouts that are exhilarating, exhausting and deeply
poignant—with a healthy dose of humor as counterpoint. With virtuosic
performances, and plenty of nimble footwork, the competitors represent
brotherly love with intense abandon: both the good and the bad, from Cain and
Abel to Romulus and Remus to Laurel and Hardy. As in the film that inspired it,
Luchino Visconti’s Rocco e i suoi fratelli (Rocco and His Brothers), the artists expose
both physical and psychological extremes in this powerful work that recieved
Holland’s prestigious SWAN Award for Best Dance Production of 2012.

SMALL NEW FILMS
WORLD PREMIERES
“Mysterious and lush explorations of the
visual world…Rick Bahto’s Super 8mm films
play like formalist, haiku-like postcards
to distant friends.” —San Francisco Cinematheque
FILM/VIDEO. Since 2002, the Echo Park Film Center (EPFC) has
been an influential proponent of small-gauge film, particularly
Super 8mm and 8mm. This survey of handmade films affirms the
independent spirit of the EPFC community in an aesthetically
eclectic range of works from personal diary films to crossdisciplinary collaborations, from documentary portraiture to
hand-processed abstraction. Drawing on young experimenters
from the center’s education and residency programs as well as
artists commissioned to make brand-new films for EPFC’s 12-year
anniversary, the program includes Kate Brown’s 4X3, Marilyn
Hernandez’s Perforated Damage, Alee Peoples’ Waxing and
Milking, a film for two projectors by Rick Bahto, and shorts by
Paul Clipson, Chloe Reyes and Pablo Valencia—all projected
from Super 8 or 8mm camera originals.

THE ART of COLLISION:
MONTAGE FILMS by HENRY HILLS
FILM/VIDeo. Uncovering the ethereal in the mundane and the abstract in the naturalistic, Henry
Hills activates a heightened attentiveness in viewers through his signature use of montage—
intensely concentrated, rhythmically complex, and replete with eccentric wit. A celebrated maker
of experimental film since 1975, Hills has collaborated with New York “Language” poets,
composer John Zorn and choreographer Sally Silvers, among other artists. The former longtime
resident of the East Village now teaches at FAMU, the Czech national film academy in Prague,
and lives in Vienna. Hills’ recent short arcana (2011, digital video, 30 min.) has collected top prizes
at Curtas Vila do Conde in Portugal and the Melbourne International Film Festival.

Juan Manuel Echavarría:
Coping with Violence,
Defying Oblivion
FILM/VIDEO. A novelist–turned–artist, photographer and videomaker,
Juan Manuel Echavarría screens two films in which peasants in his native
Colombia devise original ways of coping with entrenched everyday
violence—bloody conflict among guerrillas, army, paramilitaries and
drug traffickers that has persisted for decades. In Bocas de Ceniza
(Mouths of Ash, 2003–04, digital video, 18 min.), subjects look directly
to the camera and mourn the toll of violence in individually created folk
songs. The second documentary, Réquiem NN ( 2013, digital video,
67 min.), takes place in the town of Puerto Berrío on the Magdalena
River—from which local residents regularly fish out the remains of victims
of violence. Burying the so-called “No Names” (“NNs”), the townspeople
adopt the fallen as their own: they give them names, invent personal
histories, and decorate and visit their tombs.
In person: Juan Manuel Echavarría, Margarita De la Vega-Hurtado

Partch:
Boo Intrusions
MUSIC. Having augmented its already dazzling array of custom-built
microtonal instruments with a brand-new “BOO”—a justly tuned bamboo
marimba—the Grammy-nominated ensemble devoted to the music of
American creative iconoclast Harry Partch returns to REDCAT. The group
showcases the BOO in the composer’s final 1968 iteration of Barstow:
Eight Hitchhiker Inscriptions, a cycle of “song-settings” first begun in 1941.
Also featured are settings of Isleta chant in Partch’s chamber music
masterpiece Eleven Intrusions (1949–50); the haunting Dark Brother
(1943); and San Francisco: A Setting of the Cries of Two Newsboys on
a Street Corner (1943)—first presented during Partch’s Carnegie Hall
debut. Music by a kindred spirit rounds out the lineup as the ensemble
plays John Luther Adams’ Five Athabascan Dances (1995).

Lionel Popkin
Ruth Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
LOS ANGELES PREMIERE
DANCE. Inspired in part by the career of American modern dance pioneer Ruth St. Denis, Ruth Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is an eveninglength trio by the engaging choreographer and dancer Lionel Popkin, performed to a live score by Guy Klucevsek for accordion
and violin. St. Denis was famed for her lavish “Oriental” dances built from her fascination with Eastern cultures and a love of elaborate
costuming. Popkin foraged through St. Denis’ archives, inquiring into the legendary figure’s acts of appropriation as well as her
original sources. This legacy allows Popkin—who is half Jewish and half Indian—to playfully wrestle with his own uncertainties and
awkwardness with representations of South Asia. Amid a vast array of costume elements and lush fabrics, the performers attempt
to order a messy journey that questions the mechanisms of cultural sourcing, representation and transmission.
Part of the Radar L.A. Artists in Action program, with generous support from ArtPlace America. Presented as part of the Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series.
Funded in part with generous support from the National Performance Network (NPN) Performance Residency Program, and the New England Foundation for the Arts’
National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and with additional support from
the National Endowment for the Arts. Ruth Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is an NPN Creation Fund/Forth Fund Project co-commissioned by REDCAT in partnership

Allora & Calzadilla
ART– PERFORMANCE. REDCAT hosts the first Los Angeles exhibition by the Puerto Rico-based duo
of Jennifer Allora (USA, 1974) and Guillermo Calzadilla (Cuba, 1971). Inspired by particular
historical events, Allora & Calzadilla’s videos, sound pieces, installations, sculptures,
performances and interventions explore areas of social and political tension. Their work could
be considered as a set of artistic experiments that put to test notions of authorship, nationality,
borders and democracy, as well as their significance within contemporary global conditions.
The works presented at REDCAT result from the artists’ research into the historical applications
of music, its role in influencing the behavior of individuals and communities, and the sonic
dimension of the battlefield. The exhibition includes a selection of videos and the premiere
of a new performance installation.
Funded in part with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
Opening Reception: Fri June 27, 6–9pm
