DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with FRESH Festival 2017\, the Red Poppy Art House is pleased to present FRESH Exchanges\, free and by-donation events made to cultivate\, cross-pollinate\, invigorate\, create access\, and generate outreach within and outwith the dance\, music\, and performance communities. These interactive exchanges include Social Practice/Potlucks on Wednesdays\, January 4\, 11\, 18.

Her dance making practice utilizes Yoruba spiritual ritual to address issues of race\, gender\, social and environmental justice\, community\, identity\, and belonging. \nCat Brooks grew up in Las Vegas dreaming of an acting career even as she tagged along with her ‘radical feminist’ mother from one protest to another. The Oakland resident has emerged as one of the most prominent organizers in the Black Lives Matter movement\, and Brooks has played a key role staging protests that halted a San Francisco-bound BART train full of Black Friday shoppers\, blockaded Oakland’s police headquarters\, and helped end Mayor Libby Schaaf’s short-lived effort to crack down on nighttime street marches.

SUMMARY:FRESH Exchanges: Experimental Structures ft. Dia Dear & Sebastian Hernandez
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with FRESH Festival 2017\, the Red Poppy Art House is pleased to present FRESH Exchanges\, free and by-donation events made to cultivate\, cross-pollinate\, invigorate\, create access\, and generate outreach within and outwith the dance\, music\, and performance communities. These interactive exchanges include Experimental Structures on Tuesdays\, January 3\, 10\, 17. Hosted by Abby Crain and José Navarrete\, Experimental Structures invite artists working on the edge of their form to speak about their work\, share excerpts of current projects\, and lead group discussions. \nOn January 10th\, artist Dia Dear shows an excerpt of her piece On Tension\, discussing her work in ‘pop’ performance art and the power plays of the queer body on display. She is interested in tension\, what it is\, how people relate to it\, and the power of tension in body-based art.\n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nDia Dear‘s performance art combines gay club aesthetics of appearance\, movement\, and attitude with their opposites. She uses trickery\, sincerity\, and pop culture to create emotionally visceral and visually fascinating images through live performance. Her work has been featured in various festivals and curated shows in the United States and internationally. Most recently\, Dia was a recipient of the Maroc Artist Meeting Residency\, in collaboration with Marrakech Biennale 6 in Marrakech\, Morocco (2016)\, and Musik I Syd Future Legends Residency in Malmö\, Sweden (2015). \nSebastian Hernandez is an LA native and multi-disciplinary artist who received his B.A. in Art Practice and Dance & Performance Studies from UC Berkeley in 2016. He employs a feminist theoretical analysis\, queer theory\, brownness\, and notions of collectivity as modes of thinking and generating works that shift and complicate Mexican and Chicano narratives in the contemporaneous social imagination. His work inherently challenges traditional notions of space as he deals with his the interdisciplinary nature within both art and dance contexts. \nAbby Crain is an Oakland-based artist who makes dances and other structures for performance. She also works in the field as a teacher\, performer\, writer\, and curator. Her curatorial projects include the NO THANK YOU SHOW\, which asked artists to represent or stage work that has been rejected by granting organizations\, theaters\, collaborators\, or the artist herself; the NON MAJOR SHOW\, which asked artists to show work not in their primary medium; as well as being on the curatorial panel of FRESH Festival. \nJosé Navarrete is a native of Mexico City where he was first exposed to theater and dance\, choreographing and performing in parks\, hospitals\, and children’s parties as a clown and dancer.

SUMMARY:MAPP: Crossover Collaborative Residencies\, Cohort II\, Final Performance
DESCRIPTION:An interdisciplinary residency program supported by the Kenneth Rainin Foundation and San Francisco Arts Commission\, Crossover Collaborative Residencies provides a framework to support the exploration of collaborative processes between artists in dance and music disciplines. Pairing six choreographer/dancers and six composer/musicians\, the program follows a four-stage development from preliminary artists gatherings and orientation workshops\, to early-stage “raw” presentations of works-in-progress\, a middle-stage free community-engaged presentation\, and a final performance/presentation. \n\n \nAbout the MAPP:\nLaunched in 2003\, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly\, multidisciplinary\, intercultural happening that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco. On the first Saturday of every even month of the year\, the MAPP transforms ordinary spaces\, such as private garages\, gardens\, living rooms\, studios\, street corners\, and small businesses into pop-up performance and exhibition sites for a day/night of intimate-scale artistic and cultural exchange among a kaleidoscope of individuals and communities. \n  \n\n \nAbout the Artists (Cohort II):\n \n\nByb Chanel Bibene is a choreographer and performer working in theater and contemporary dance. He has toured the world and performed internationally with companies and choreographers from Africa\, England\, France\, and the United States. Artistic Director of Kiandanda Dance Theater\, he is pursuing his Master in Fine Arts in dance at Saint Mary’s College of California. \n\nDaniel Berkman has several albums to his credit\, ranging from postmodern kora music and a planetarium soundtrack to electronic music under the moniker Colfax. In the spirit of timeless innovation\, Daniel’s future albums will include ballets\, songs\, and soundtracks\, all featuring odd combinations of instruments including cello\, viola da gamba\, ukelin\, marxophone\, ukulele\, esraj\, guitar\, and Handsonic. \n\nDavid Molina is an award-winning composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, sound artist/designer\, recording engineer\, and instrument inventor. He has created music and sound for the performing arts\, film\, and multimedia installations for the past 20 years. His music and bands—including Ghosts and Strings\, Transient\, Impuritan\, and Ackamoor/Molina Duet—are available on Resting Bell (Berlin)\, Dorog Records (Peru)\, Black Note Music and Distant Spore (USA)\, or self released. \n\nDohee Lee\, born on Jeju Island in South Korea\, learned Korean dance\, Korean percussion\, and vocals rooted in Shamanism. Her art now focuses on integrating these traditional ritual forms with contemporary elements. Her works emphasize the mythical\, experimental\, ritualistic\, theatrical\, historical\, and healing aspects of music\, dance\, and visual which shares the thoughts and ideas on vital issues such as identity\, politics\, nature and spirituality. \n\nChris Evans\, an Oakland-based interdisciplinary artist trained in music and dance\, explores where the lines between dance\, music\, space\, artist\, and audience blur. She is a member of Bandelion Dance Theater\, Black and White Projects art collective\, and regularly collaborates with David Boyce\, Byb Chanel Bibene\, Sheena Johnson\, Ernest Jolly\, and Randee Paufve. \n\nJosé Navarrete is a native of Mexico City\, where he studied dance at the National Institute of Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:RPAH Speaker Series: Community-Engaged Arts Presenting ft. Regina Y. Evans
DESCRIPTION:Anti-trafficking activist Regina Y. Evans headlines the Poppy’s November professional development session with a performance and discussion on fighting sex trafficking in the Bay Area. The second-generation Oakland native will perform excerpts of her 52 Letters\, a theater piece that looks at the fight against trafficking through the lens of slavery. The play\, which won a Best of the San Francisco Fringe Festival Award in 2013\, serves as a community call to action against trafficking. Her performance will be followed by a discussion/talk-back. \nRegina Y. Evans is a social justice playwright/actor/poet and a modern-day abolitionist in the fight against sex trafficking. She is the owner of Regina’s Door\, a vintage boutique\, artistic performance space\, and sanctuary for at-risk youth and young Oakland artists. \nLearn more: Website\nPhoto by: Sian Taylor Gowan\n  \n\n \nAbout the Professional Development Track Program:\nOn the third Monday of every month\, the Red Poppy Art House invites guest artists\, arts leaders\, community organizers\, and other creative thinkers to share their experience and ideas on the work they are doing and the questions that we are exploring at the Red Poppy Art House. We like to open these presentation-discussions to artists\, arts professionals\, and others seeking to develop their skills and understanding of the arts ecosystem in relation to socially-engaged arts presenting. \nThe Poppy’s Professional Development program centers around inquiry in: \n\nHow can we best facilitate a space of encounter\, an environment that connects both artists and people from different communities?\nWhat is the relationship/tension between art as a force for social transformation and art as a form of cultural entertainment that follows a consumer relationship (i.e. you buy a ticket and consume a show)?\nWhat are the different practical needs in different disciplines (i.e. dance as opposed to a music production)\, and how can we familiarize ourselves with them to better anticipate the needs of a particular collaboration? In other words\, how do we become cross-disciplinary in our thinking?\nSeeing that social/professional relationships in the arts tend to fall along the dividing lines between artistic disciplines and genres\, what are some strategies that can help intersect and cross-pollinate respective communities?\nHow do we find new and creative ways of addressing issues around equity and access\, particularly as we see them play out in our immediate community?\n\nClick here to learn more about the program.\n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: Session 7:30PM\nAdmission: Free\nAll ages are welcome.\n

SUMMARY:"Needles in the Camel’s Eye" Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Poppy invites you to join the artists and curators behind its current exhibition\, Needles in the Camel’s Eye.  \nAcquiring its name from the opening song on Brian Eno’s debut solo album\, Needles reflects artists Stephani Martinez and Jessica Tang’s needle-related experimentation with the unexpected in an exhibition laced with lyrical\, literary\, and rhythmic overtones.  \nTang’s GIRL series features embroidery rendered onto brightly colored\, empty fabric that depicts faceless young Asian women in suggestive poses. The resulting images challenge viewers’ notions of stereotypes\, exoticism\, and identity. Martinez\, meanwhile\, tests our sense of permanence by adding\, subtracting\, and repositioning an organic crochet sculpture that will continuously evolve over the course of the exhibition\, which closes on Saturday\, December 10. \nCurators Modesto Covarrubias and Monica Lundy\, who actively seek work that enlivens and engages the space in which it exists\, present Needles in the Poppy’s performance space to spark a dialogue between music\, voice\, movement\, and the act of seeing. Covarrubias and Lundy view this exhibition as an opportunity for visual and performing art to come together\, to nourish\, inform\, and challenge one another\, and to create an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.\n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: Event 2:00PM\nAdmission: Free\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer for this event!\n\n
