What followed was one of the most significant protest movements in modern Iranian history and a brutal crackdown by the regime. \nICU is a full-length play currently in development as part of Golden Thread’s New Threads Staged Reading Series. New Threads is Golden Thread’s annual staged reading series that engages its audience in the process of playmaking and allows writers of Middle Eastern and non-Middle Eastern descent an authentic and supportive space to develop work about the Middle East.  \nBecause the events that inspired the work continue to resonate so deeply\, the artists wanted to share the story with audiences now rather than wait for the play’s final production. Portions of the performance will be presented with scripts in hand as part of the play’s ongoing development process. \nThe title ICU operates on several levels. It references the intensive care units where injured protesters sought treatment. It declares “I see you”—the fundamental demand to be witnessed\, recognized\, and remembered. It also evokes the eye itself and the power of sight\, which became a powerful symbol throughout the movement. \nThe play begins on a hopeful morning in the midst of the Women\, Life\, Freedom protests. From there\, it follows the aftermath of a single day and night\, tracing the lives of women whose futures are forever altered by the choices they make and the events they endure. \nThrough humor\, resilience\, grief\, friendship\, and extraordinary courage\, ICU explores what it costs to demand your humanity—and what it takes to keep fighting for it. With some laughs.  \nWritten by: Leyla Modirzadeh & Domenique Lozano\nPerformed by: Bridgette Loriaux \nPresented by Red Poppy Art House and Golden Thread Productions. \nAbout Golden Thread Productions\nGolden Thread Productions is a San Francisco-based theatre company dedicated to exploring Middle Eastern cultures\, diverse perspectives\, and global immigrant experiences.

Portion of the ticket and merch proceeds will go to humanitarian relief funds. Ian will sing in Ukrainian\, Polish\, French\, Italian\, Yiddish\, Farsi\, Armenian\, and several other languages and will also share original instrumental music from his last year’s release “The Alchemist”\, as well as some brand new compositions that haven’t been recorded yet. \nABOUT IAN MAKSIN: \nBREAKING BOUNDARIES both musical and geographical\, cellist\, composer and multilingual vocalist IAN MAKSIN has created his own unique style by blending elements of different genres and traditional music from around the globe in a new way using his cello as the main unifying force. \nONE-MAN ORCHESTRA: In addition to cello\, he used an electronic device called the loop pedal\, which allows him to create “loops” or layers by recording and replaying his own playing in real time. \nSINGING IN 30 LANGUAGES: What began as a hobby and a passion for linguistics and travel has become part of a unique concert experience. At this time Ian Maksin sings in Ukrainian\, Polish\, Russian\, English\, Farsi\, Armenian\, French\, Italian\, Arabic\, Hebrew\, Mongolian\, Bambara (one of the tongues spoken in West Africa) and many other exotic languages. Most of this repertoire was amassed by Maksin during his world travels\, jam sessions and collaborations with local musicians. Many of his original songs and instrumental compositions are also infused with flavors of ethnic music from countries and regions where he drew inspiration from: Mongolia\, West Africa\, Middle East\, the Balkans\, Andalusian flamenco. \nTHE GLOBAL MUSICIAN: Ian Maksin was born in Leningrad\, former USSR\, into a multinational family and grew up absorbing many cultures and traditions from an early age. He began playing guitar and piano at age 3 and cello at age 6 at the School for Gifted Children in Leningrad and then came to the USA at 16 to continue studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. After working for many years in the classical genre including a three-year tenure with the New World Symphony in Miami Ian has decided to look for his own musical path. His diverse musical experience\, including playing rock and blues guitar and passion for jazz and world music has allowed him to take the cello to a new dimension and develop his own distinct style as a musician and composer. In Ian’s own words: “At some point I realized that music is much more than mere entertainment. Music is one of most powerful and unifying forces in the world\, capable of healing\, inspiring\, bringing people together and bringing peace among them. I believe that cello will save the world”. \nPreview the music:  \n \nLearn more: Website | YouTube | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\nTime: (First Show) 6:30 pm doors\, 7:00 pm show / (Second Show) 8:30 pm doors\, 8:45 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $25-30 / (Door) $35 general\, $25 student & senior with valid ID\nNote: A limited quantity of additional tickets will be available for purchase at the door unless otherwise noted on the Facebook event page that the show is SOLD OUT. \nPurchase advance tickets for this event:\nNote: Purchasing an advance ticket guarantees admission but does not guarantee seats.

In this collection\, semi-abandoned spaces allow for a netherworld where structures and remnants left by people have been partially reclaimed yet still retain a human presence\, seen and unseen at the same time. \n  \nPatrick St. Clair juxtaposes the man-made and nature as elements at once in conflict and in harmony. His use of dilapidated and graffitied structures represents a hidden world of interlopers where nature reclaims the manmade and wanderers explore it as they would a garden. The juxtapositions create narratives that veer into territory that may be surreal or magical-realistic. St. Clair risks this for the sake of attempting to recreate a subjective experience of urban walkabout. In depicting scenes that not only exist in the margins between the urban and natural but are also abandoned of all life and shrouded in an eerie darkness\, St. Clair creates a world that is unreal and seems only to exist in hazy\, youthful memories of last night. \n  URL:https://redpoppyarthouse.org/event/last-night/ LOCATION:CA CATEGORIES:Artist Receptions,Artist Salons,Events,Exhibitions and Receptions,January END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121213T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121213T210059 DTSTAMP:20121206T234022Z CREATED:20121116T232150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20121206T234022Z UID:3185-1355421600-1355432459@redpoppyarthouse.org SUMMARY:POPPY Holiday Art Sale & Party DESCRIPTION:Photo: Gary Weiner \n  \nThursday Dec. 13\, 6-9 pm \n“POP!”Artist Reception by the members of the Bay Area Photographers Collective (BAPC)\n  \nBUY ART!
