NEWSLETTER: zippity do dah day

ALAFIA!!! Ola!!! Hello and how do?

Bless that ocean, will ya? Not too hot, just enough breeze coming on shore, beautiful waves. This is why we lived so jammed packed out here on the West Side. But we often miss the adventure and thoroughly jagged edges of art in the City. So here's to the time disruption torn map known as "El Lay." This weekend there is no class as I get ready to hit the road and embark on a series of local projects. AFROLOGICS West African Dance Class will return, but in a different location and time.


Afrologic. Afrological. Afrologica. How big is your 'fro?
Multiple, fractal, improvisational, polemical but always moving with spirit and in the service of lifting it/us all up. That's the logic of the Afro.


BLOWIN' BACK THE FRO
My goodness, there is a A LOT happening in these next 73 hours, so this edition of the newsletter will feel more like a dispatch, cause I'm tryin' to get one of the events tonight, so that I can make the rest over the weekend!

OPENING TONIGHT:
Task FORCE
11 Missing Days


Actually TaskForce has been dancing on/in water for a few days now, but they go on tonight in San Pedro. Last night they were at the OPEN SPACE. They continue through the weekend.

Meg Wolfe's "11 Missing Days" starts its first weekend at the Unknown Theatre. I think you can still book tickets right now to get the $18 price. It is $25 at the door.

THE BIG BLOW OUT COMB
Viver Brasil takes the stage on Saturday, July 5th at 8:30 PM. There are still tickets. So get some asap. I'll be there. Shall we meet?

So my recommendations:

STEPHAN KOPLOWITZ: TASKFORCE tonight
11 Missing Days on Friday
"Omi Odara/The Gift on the Water" Viver Brasil on Saturday
TASK FORCE Sunday Afternoon
11 Missing Days Sunday night

There is still the Hawai'ian Fourth of July right now at the Santa Monica Pier. It is free. They are planning on breaking a world Hula record. Show is underway.

You can do this!

UPCOMING:
July 11th on Wilshire BLVD, there will be watermelons...
July 12th at the NEST, Pat Payne hosts a salon, myspace.com/spunkyxipe


OKAY my dears, I must away. I've just been told that I must go take a master dance class, so no Task Force for me tonight.

There will be a dispatch with further show info...there are so many splendid things happening for children and families this weekend, too!

Look to the Dark for all the light you need...

in love,
-Anna
