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:CANCELLED: The Beth Custer Ensemble: Bass Clarinet & Guitar Driven Funky Songs & Instrumentals
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, tonight’s performance with The Beth Custer Ensemble is cancelled.  \nThe Beth Custer Ensemble is a veritable crème de la crème of Bay Area musicians and has been delighting audiences for fifteen years from across the US to abroad. On this night the ensemble will perform music from their vast repertoire and new tunes from their upcoming release ‘Aguaplano.’ Their unique blend of styles underscores the Beth Custer Ensemble’s lyrical depth and showcases recent projects including a commission by SF Cinematheque to compose and perform live scores from Alexandre Hammid’s films at SF MOMA as well as performing live for The Joe Goode Performance Group’s dance/theatre productions at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. \nA set might include a funky political song followed by a lilting country waltz\, then an Afro-fusion odd-metered driving instrumental\, followed by a rock cover tune. \nFeaturing… \nBeth Custer – voice\, clarinets\, piano\nDavid James – voice\, guitar\nJan Jackson– drums\nDiana Mangano– voice\nChris Grady – trumpet\, percussion\nVicky Grossi – bass \nGet acquainted with the band here. \nAdmission: $15-20. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome.\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event. Please arrive at the Red Poppy when doors open to purchase tickets. \nWe are pleased to announce that we have begun some minor construction at the Poppy to make our space fully wheelchair accessible. Due to this work\, we will be having audiences enter through the main front doors rather than the side door entrance that we normally use. We will have a slightly lesser seating capacity\, so keep that in mind to make sure you arrive in time.  \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here.
