SUMMARY:Disappearing Waters
DESCRIPTION:Disappearing Waters is part of the Concert for the Climate music event at the L.A. First Congregational Church. The piece is a collaborative piano and video exploration of Southern California’s evaporating lakes and rivers. Using aerial drone photography\, artist Lori Pond creates beautiful\, haunting\, revealing images of the devastation brought on by the current drought ravaging the waterways of our state. Vicki Ray’s piano underscoring uses famous “water” pieces form the repertoire and gradually “depletes” their supply of notes and richness over the course of the film. \nThe current state of drought is in direct relation to the climate crisis facing our state\, our nation\, our world. By viewing these evaporating waters from above\, one begins to sense their relation to the surrounding environment in broader terms. To see a shore recede while viewing it from ground level is one thing but to experience the shrinkage from above enters our psyche on deeper\, more visceral level. We hope help raise awareness about the loss of these beautiful waters through our work and to inspire people to action. \nTickets are free but space is limited.  Please make a reservation to secure a seat.

SUMMARY:Steppin' Into the Art of Mar Vista
DESCRIPTION:This art walk is intended as a showcase of the great outpouring of all local Mar Vista arts — visual\, music\, dance\, performance and interactive media — and will feature live painting to the accompaniment of music and even a burlesque. Great food and drink. We are mounting our inaugural Mar Vista art walk — Steppin’ Into the Art of Mar Vista\, on Thursday\, December 3\, 2015\, 6-9P\, along the 1-mile stretch of Venice Blvd. between Inglewood Bl – Beethoven St. \nOne of our goals is to get people out of their cars by improving the walkability of our communities. Art zones with art walks are a proven way to get people walking and engaging locally. Many of our artists have incorporated sustainability into their participation. For example\, the artistic duo known as Babak (Mitchelito Orquiola + Chalavie) have painted a used billboard wrap and repurposed it to promote the event (Venice Bl @ Grand View Av). There are art scavenger hunts with recycled plastic household items upcycled as art. \nImage by Tomas Medina.

SUMMARY:DREMPELS - The Short But Happy Life of the Drempel Hieronymus Aloisius Plonk
DESCRIPTION:DREMPELS is a world premiere Rudie-DeCarlo allegorical musical theater tale about a small but powerful society of Displaced Drempels – the tiny sub-species of human who live in the cracks of the earth and are caretakers to the Green – and their quest to save their society\, and in so doing\, save the world. Internationally acclaimed Actors Repertory Theatre conjures up a dark miniature world laced with biting comedy\, DREMPELS is a tale of remembrance and renewal. But it is also a tale of warning\, exploring and examining environmentalism\, genocide\, gentrification\, revitalization\, rebirth\, and political\, as well as literal\, bulldozing. \nActors Repertory Theatre breathes life into dozens of separate characters\, creatures and curiosities\, taking audiences on an awe-inspiring\, eye-opening\, musical journey rooted in old-world European story-telling and physical tomfoolery peppered with sharp contemporary satire. Look beneath the cute and you will find an alarming amalgam of past\, present and future atrocities\, set in a microcosmic society that frighteningly mirrors the macrocosm of our own foundering world. \nFor tickets: www.showclix.com/event/DREMPELS2015
