SUMMARY:"How We Emerge" available online!
DESCRIPTION:The Kitchen Table Project’s latest film features an intergenerational cast of artists\, including: Cody Brunelle-Potter\, Haylee Nichele\, Diana Lynn Wallace\, Chelsea Roquero\, Jeannette Bland\, and Spencer Jensen. The film honors the memories of eight community members who were lost during the pandemic. Among others\, the project honors the memories of an elder from Standing Rock and a farmworker from the first community where Karlin delivered handmade masks through her work with the Auntie Sewing Squad in the early days of mask shortages. Karlin also brought her beloved family member\, Ann\, and Invertigo staff members Rosa Navarrete and Chelsea Sutton brought their family members to the table; Navarrete lost her father – Luis Navarrete a pastor who worked in a mission in Mexicali\, Mexico and Sutton lost her grandmother in late 2020. Alongside Karlin\, who directs and choreographs\, the film was developed with Glyn Gray (Director of Photography)\, Chris Stokes (Lighting Designer)\, Rebecca Baillie Stumme (Production Manager)\, and Invertigo Dance Theatre staff support. \nThe arts are a way to share stories\, reach across the table and say “I was affected too.” It integrates loss and love of community in a creative way. As Karlin says\, “The kitchen table is full of memories and symbolism\, intercultural exchange and intergenerational connections…there are so many stories to tell.” \nWATCH FILM NOW\nPresenters\n \n  \n \n        \n

SUMMARY:Sugar Plum Jam
DESCRIPTION:Sugar Plum Jam\nThursday\, December 2\, 2021 @ 6:00 PM/Pacific\nLocation: Culver City Town Hall Plaza\nFree & Open to the Public\nIn a “Tchaikovsky meets Tim Burton” twist\, this piece brings mischief\, mayhem and sweet revelry to the stage.\nInvertigo is excited to team up with Culver City once again for a night of holiday uplight and good cheer as we gather around art and community — and this year\, behold\, it’s LIVE! A special confection for the holidays. Free & Open to the Public. \nMusic & composer: a commission by Chris Thomas\nDancers: Hyosun Choi\, Jessica Dunn\nCreated by: Laura Karlin\, Haylee Nichele\, Hyosun Choi\, Jessica Dunn \n \nVisit Culver City’s website: www.downtownculvercity.com/tree-lighting-2021\nFeatured Artists\n \nHyosun Choi\, Performing Artist & Collaborator \nAt the age of 4\, Hyosun mimicked her parents during their ballroom dance classes. An observing instructor offered to teach her. Around that time\, she followed her cousin to a Korean cultural dance school and afterwards\, declared that she was going to learn. Upon quickly mastering the Korean drums\, fans\, and swords\, she performed regularly. At 7\, she was winning National and Regional Ballroom Dance Competitions\, including the Grand Prix. When her parents stopped ballroom dancing\, Hyosun had to quit. A few years later\, she stopped Korean cultural dance to focus on her schooling. This began a decade-long separation from dance. \nAfter graduating as high school valedictorian\, Hyosun attended USC on a scholarship with acceptance to their accelerated pre-pharmacy program. To her parents’ disappointment\, Hyosun announced that she did not want to follow her father’s footsteps as a pharmacist after graduating in 3 years with a B.A in Biology and a minor in Cinema. During her last year\, having enrolled in a jazz class on a whim\, Hyosun was asked to join USC’s Jazz II Dance Company\, and to perform for both faculty and student choreographers. One of the graduating choreographers she was paired up with was Kate Hutter\, co-founder of Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company (LACDC)\, who would hire her years later. \nHyosun began recreationally dancing at EDGE Performing Arts Center as she secretly pursued professional acting while studying at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. Encouraged by her family\, she went to New York Law School. In New York\, she took open classes at Atlantic Acting School\, Alvin Ailey\, Broadway Dance Center (BDC) and STEPS. BDC’s faculty teacher\, Ginger Cox\, invited her to join LiNK Dance Company. This launched her professional dance career. \nWithin a few weeks of moving back to Los Angeles\, she auditioned for LACDC and was hired. Hyosun currently dances with LACDC\, Invertigo Dance Theatre\, Iris Company\, and La Dansa Dansa. She is a certified trainer in the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods\, works as a Corporate Trainer at Bank of Hope\, is admitted to the State Bar in CA and NY\, plays cello\, piano\, and guitar\, composes music\, and reads.

They are the co-founder of RAHOK\, a family-owned business that illuminates the interdependence of Race\, Ancestors\, Health\, Outdoors and Knowledge to cultivate loving Eco-Hoods. RAHOK provides services in education\, land stewardship\, and asset management. Over the past twenty years Río has worked alongside Black Indigenous People of Color communities to remember and reimagine our ancestral medicines as a way of being in joy\, health\, freedom and liberation.\nIG: @riooxas\nWeb: rahok.org\nEmail: riooxas@rahok.org \n  \n\nDoreen Sanchez – Previously\, the Director of Arts for the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council\, Doreen Sanchez first realized her passion for the arts in an elementary school summer program at the Inner-City Cultural Center with C. Bernard Jackson. She continued in High school at the Salesian Catholic High School\, Drama Department\, and went on to study at a small theatre in Altadena\, CA. Doreen began to venture into sharing spoken word at venues like Beyond Baroque and the Women’s Building. In the early 80’s she discovered Danza Azteca; soon after\, she joined Xipe Totec and has been a dedicated danzante ever since. Through her work with Xipe Totec\, she has had the opportunity to perform at the Ford Theater\, Universal Amphitheatre\, and many backyards. Her adoration of the theatre and the process brought her to Chicana\, Cholas\, and Chisme\, where she committed herself to learn about Stage Management and perform in their annual production. \n  \n\nLauren Ballesteros is a poet\, writer\, and actor that believes in the transformative power of storytelling. Originally from El Monte\, Lauren was raised by a single mother whose resilience has been the backbone of her childhood. She received her B.S in Sociology and Theater from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Upon graduation she worked for a labor union as an organizer. In 2012\, she returned to L.A and got involved with CASA 0101 Theater in Boyle Heights. There she discovered her voice as a third generation working class Chicana. Since then she has produced several of her short plays and performed in several festivals and mainstage productions. \nIn 2019\, Lauren moved back to Honolulu and currently works for Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi as a community organizer where she feels a profound sense of purpose in connecting deeply rooted values to movement building. She is also a new mother to a multi-racial daughter and dedicates every moment she has to building a strong woman. \nHer first short film Token is currently in post-production\, set to release in early 2021. Her next short film\, Confessions to the Moon is set for filming in summer 2021. As a founding member of Matriarchy\, she hopes to inspire more womxn to use their voice to heal and radically shift our society… \n\nEvent Organizers\n\nRosa Navarrete is a Writer\, Actor\, and Director. Her movement work is centered around storytelling and dance theater work. Rosa enjoys teaching all ages\, allowing for sources of movement to emerge from choreography\, storytelling\, and the community themselves. Rosa’s experience with intergenerational communities stems from her work with organizations like Angela’s Pulse (angelaspulse.org)\, The Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton (themuck.org)\, and the families of Casa 0101 Theater’s Youth Program (casa0101.org). In 2018\, she worked in a year-long community organized project titled Pittsfield Moves! in Massachusetts – funded by the Ford Foundation and produced by Angelas’s Pulse and Jacob’s Pillow. These days\, playing is a lost art for most adults\, so let’s shake it up with our littles and enjoy moving in rhythm together.
