Repertory Returns! CalArts Dance presents adventurous repertory celebrating the new season and the return to in-person performing. Featuring work by Toru Shimazaki, Donald Byrd, Merce Cunningham, and Sidra Bell performed by CalArts Dance’s spectacular students.
Featuring an array of techniques, from collage, animation, time-lapse, and meticulous sound design, attuned to the rustle of motile life forms, this selection of short works navigates the vast expanse of inner worlds untethered from a human scale.
The MFA Creative Writing Program at CalArts is excited to partner with REDCAT to host the 2022 MFA Writers Showcase, which presents the grit, style, and perspectives of twelve imaginative emerging writers to a wider public.
There is a mounting need for solutions to our national housing crises. Can art help us meet these challenges? The Most Beautiful Home… Maybe offers a nerdy and raucous vision for guaranteed housing. Hosted by chanteuse Zébra (a zebra), this multimedia, immersive performance juxtaposes housing data, Lyndon B. Johnson, and torch songs while time traveling through stories of Americans facing home insecurity, past and present.
Overcoming institutional and personal lapses to give attention to little-seen works—some more recent, some surviving loss and decomposition—this program collects loose parts in motion, a series of bangs, or kalampag in Tagalog, assembled by individual strengths and how they might resonate off each other and a contemporary audience.
In celebration of the opening of American Artist: Shaper of God at REDCAT, the artist joins Octavia E. Butler scholar Ayana Jamieson to discuss Butler’s continued resonance in contemporary life and the author’s intersections with American Artist's upbringing in Altadena, CA.
