Thereafter\, his primary influence was acclaimed Buenos Aires-based tanguero\, and dear friend\, Pedro “el Indio” Benavente\, the two of whom later formed the project Tango Protesta\, utilizing tango as a vehicle of social-political engagement. While Pedro began organizing actions in Buenos Aires\, Todd was training dancers to join in anti-war rallies in the Bay Area. Tango Protesta (SF) later evolved into the Milonga Masala Tango Project\, through which Todd began to convene friends and artists of different disciplines and cultural stripes for a monthly gathering at his then home in Cole Valley. Unknown to him at the time\, these gatherings were sowing seeds for what would come to be the Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco’s Mission District\, where he and co-founder Alex Allende taught classes throughout it’s first year. After a long hiatus from teaching\, and at the request of many friends and communtiy members\, Todd is bringing tango back to the Poppy with this 6-week series of dance classes.For more info on Todd\, visit: http://www.toddthomasbrown.com/Photo credits: Marc Hors (left)\, Nico Vera (right)

SUMMARY:Gabriel Kahane Celebrates His Major Label Debut: "The Ambassador:" Los Angeles\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the year’s very best albums\,” Gabriel Kahane’s major label debut\, The Ambassador\, is a meditation on the underbelly of Los Angeles seen through the lens of ten street addresses: one song per address. Named for the demolished hotel that housed early Academy Awards ceremonies and where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated\, The Ambassador is a song cycle based on life in Los Angeles from the 1920′s to the dystopian future. Using the street addresses as launching points\, Kahane explores everything from Blade Runner and Die Hard to the fiction of Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain; and from the architecture of R.M. Schindler and Richard Neutra to the tragic death of Latasha Harlins at the hands of a Korean grocer. Kahane’s musical performance at the Poppy will be a sonic taste of the upcoming staged version of The Ambassador\, directed by Tony-winner John Tiffany\, to be showcased at The Harvey Theater as part of the 2014 BAM New Wave Festival. \nVisit Gabriel Kahane’s website here. \nGet a preview of The Ambassador here.\nJoin the official Facebook event here. \nAdmission: $17 advanced. $20 at the door.\nPurchase advance tickets here\nDoors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome.

SUMMARY:Argentine Tango: The Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Taught by Todd Thomas Brown\, assisted by Mia Paschal \n6 week course: Mondays\, November 10th – December 15th \nA half-hour for first-timers… \n\n6:30pm-7:00pm: The basic of basics – introduction to weight-shift and maintaining axis in the embrace (if you have never taken a tango class\, you should make sure to arrive for this segment)\n\nRegular class begins…. \n\n7:00pm-8:00pm: Fundamentals of walking in the embrace\n8:00pm-8:30pm: Introduction to figures (combinations of steps)\, musicality and improvisation\n8:30-9:00: Additional practice time\n\nWhile this series is progressive\, with each class bulding on the next\, we have structured it with an initial half-hour of the super-basics to accomodate drop-in students that are attempting tango for the very first time. Beginner Level l focuses on the sublimely simple aspect of walking within the embrace\, techniques equally suitable for both beginners and more advanced students. The second half focuses on the development of combination of steps with special attention paid to the spirit of improvisation and musicality. Emphasis is on connection with one’s partner\, always simplifying until the connection is felt – or how else could it be called a “dance”? \nCost: $15 drop-in\, or $75 for the 6-week series No partner necessary\, queer friendly\, female leads welcome. Tango how you like\,  just come dance!ARTIST BIOTodd began his study of Argentine tango in 1997 in Montréal\, Canada\, with dancer Mylène Pelletier. Thereafter\, his primary influence was acclaimed Buenos Aires-based tanguero\, and dear friend\, Pedro “el Indio” Benavente\, the two of whom later formed the project Tango Protesta\, utilizing tango as a vehicle of social-political engagement. While Pedro began organizing actions in Buenos Aires\, Todd was training dancers to join in anti-war rallies in the Bay Area. Tango Protesta (SF) later evolved into the Milonga Masala Tango Project\, through which Todd began to convene friends and artists of different disciplines and cultural stripes for a monthly gathering at his then home in Cole Valley. Unknown to him at the time\, these gatherings were sowing seeds for what would come to be the Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco’s Mission District\, where he and co-founder Alex Allende taught classes throughout it’s first year. After a long hiatus from teaching\, and at the request of many friends and communtiy members\, Todd is bringing tango back to the Poppy with this 6-week series of dance classes.For more info on Todd\, visit: http://www.toddthomasbrown.com/Photo credits: Marc Hors (left)\, Nico Vera (right)

SUMMARY:Amendola vs. Blades: Organ and Drum Duo Return to the Red Poppy
DESCRIPTION:Wil Blades and Scott Amendola first became a duo when Scott had the vision of performing Duke Ellington’s “Far East Suite” with Wil on his Hammond B3.
