SUMMARY:Tito y su son de Cuba: A Night in Old Havana Cuba
DESCRIPTION:Tito Gonzalez leads his ensemble for a vibrant night of Cuban tunes as he serenades the audience through the streets of Old Havana. Singer/composer Tito Gonzalez is a master showman with a voice that has been compared to that of classic son singer Daniel Santos. Gonzalez delivers songs that are deceptively simple – between their fluid melodies and retrograde rhythms\, they evoke a focus and introspection that Tito attributes\, in part\, to his life in America. \nThe Cuban rhythm son\, which has been made popular by the Buena Vista Social Club\, is an essential element of both Tito’s music and his own being. Along with son\, his music demonstrates a broad range of Cuban genres such as rumba\, guaracha and the most romantic boleros. \nThe night’s lineup includes: \nTito Gonzalez – lead vocals\, guitar\, tres guitar\nSandy Poindexter – violin\nDavid Frazier – congas\nRubin Hurtado – piano\nCarlos Ramirez-Ortiz – bass\nMore about Tito Gonzalez: \nTito\, who first appeared on the Cuban music scene pushing forty and fully-formed\, still possesses the creative impulse that drove him more quickly than most up a long and slippery ladder as a professional musician. Tito first experienced the tres guitar through his father\, who had played when Tito was a boy. Since then\, Tito has had an on-again-off-again relationship with the tres. Music had been in and out of his life: he flirted with the guitar when he was into Elvis Presley\, the Beatles\, and Frank Sinatra. He later rekindled the romance with the guitar while on a long tour with the Cuban national fishing fleet\, and traded the instrument in for a tres when his ship docked in Spain. However\, he later dropped the tres altogether for a steady job as an auto mechanic. Now however\, Tito and the son had found each other\, never to part. \nContinue reading about Tito’s life 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. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here. \n

SUMMARY:YESCKA: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca Mexico
DESCRIPTION:In Conjunction with the Mission Arts & Performance Project\, \nthe Red Poppy Art House & EDELO Present:  \nYESCKA: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca\, Mexico \nThe Red Poppy Art House collaborates with EDELO (En Donde Era La ONU ‘Where the United Nations Used to Be’) for the inauguration of YESCKA: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca Mexico. The Poppy will exhibit the works of street artist Yescka for an evening of critical engagement in societal matters. \nSchedule: \n1:00pm – 6:00pm: Family Art + Heartbeat Soundscapes \n“Stopping Police Violence Altar” – Family Art MAPP invites parents and their children to participate in creating a mandala out of yarn and sticks called God’s Eye or Ojo de Dios. This meditative practice comes from indigenous people in Mexico that created them for the blessing of a space\, for newborns\, and to represent the four elements: earth\, fire\, air and water. The Ojo de Dios will be part of an altar offered as a blessing\, gift\, and a net of safety for the community and those lost to police violence. The altar will be part of the inauguration of the exhibition and mural by Yescka Guerrilla Art. \n*Family Art is a free art program offered by the Red Poppy Art House every Saturday 1-4pm. \nCollaborating artist Katy Fox adds her work\, Heartbeat Soundscapes\, to the altar by amplifying the heartbeats of children who attend the Poppy’s Family Art Program. To perceive the heart\, to feel and hear it\, to have your rhythm literally sync with another’s\, is to perceive what Paolo Virno deems a relation between “the highest possible degree of communality and the highest possible degree of singularity.” We Are Movement’s Heartbeat Soundscapes amplify a live heartbeat(s) into public space. Adding this intimate living sound to the usual mix of sounds on the street gives people surprising\, direct experiences of their own embodiment—by first listening outward to someone else’s beat. \n6:00pm – 7:00pm: YESCKA Art Opening \nIn 2011\, Yescka founded guerilla-art.mx\, a German-Mexican street art collective consisting of street artists and filmmakers. Born from the wish to spread intercultural art\, the collective has successfully organized project trips and exhibitions\, and has contributed to numerous street art festivals throughout Mexico\, Germany\, USA\, Switzerland\, Sweden\, and Spain. These art projects question and take a critical look at our society. The observer is called upon to actively consider issues and injustices\, thus preventing himself from becoming a mere consumer. Film documentation and fruitful collaborations with local artists play a central role in traveling with the guerilla-art.mx collective. \n7:30pm – 8:00pm: Matiz Flamenco \nMatiz Flamenco is back in the Mission\, featuring singer/dancer Yuli Norrish\, guitarist Laurel Lobovits\, and dancers Yukie Takahashi\, Maria Sanchez\, Paz de la Carzada & Valentine Boisnard! \n8:00pm – 8:30pm: San Francisco Youth Theatre \nSan Francisco Youth Theatre’s DREAM Ensemble performs excerpts from Gary Soto’s In & Out of Shadows\, based on interviews with Bay Area undocumented teenagers. Directed by Cliff Mayotte. Music by Emily Klion & George Brooks. \n8:45pm – 9:00pm: Leroy F. Moore Jr. \nThe Black Kripple Delivers will be a multi-media performance with a video trailer of an upcoming documentary about police brutality against people with disabilities by Emmitt Thrower\, a retired New York cop who has a disability. The trailer will introduce Leroy Moore\, aka The Black Kripple\, as he continues with the theme of police brutality and other forms of violence against people with disabilities through spoken word performances. \n9:11pm – 10:00pm: Kenya Moses & Adrian Arias / Open Hours \nLOVE story in a BOX is a multi-disciplinary performance with sound and silence\, joy and fear. \n*The space will be open until 10pm for art viewing\, music and conversation. \nMore on the Artists & Performers: \n \nPhoto credit: Yescka \nYescka started to make graffiti at the age of fifteen\, later attending a college of art where he began to combine fine arts with street art. In 2006\, there was a strong social and political movement in his state of Oaxaca. This urged him to communicate what was going on by revealing all the violence and experiences through art. At that point\, Yescka\, along with other artists from his city\, founded a collective called ASARO\, short for Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca. They started to use their works to criticize the social and political situation in an attempt to re-integrate art into society. \n“I feel that art right now is standing outside society because it belongs to a limited sector of galleries\, intellectuals and museums. I believe\, art is for everybody and that’s why we’re trying to create a link\, so that the people can get in touch with art in their everyday lives again.” – Yescka \n \nKaty Fox founded We Are Movement\, a body literacy project\, in 2012. Combining her background as large format printmaker and Hatha yoga instructor\, she believes that when embodiment is brought into public space\, it becomes a resource for greater self and civic engagement\, as well as for individual and collective development. She has lived in San Francisco for 20 years. \n \nPhoto credit: Matiz Flamenco \nMatiz Flamenco is a unique and inclusive flamenco organization. Their mission is to produce authentic and accessible flamenco shows\, and to offer classes and opportunities to support future performers and aficionados. \n \nPhoto credit: SF Youth Theatre \nSan Francisco Youth Theatre is dedicated to creating cutting-edge theater for children and youth ages 4-24 throughout the Bay Area. SFYT provides a world-class platform for art-inspired youth to create and perform theater that tells the compelling stories of our community. The core values include personal expression through the arts\, creativity\, inclusiveness and changing the world\, one play at a time. \n \nLeroy F. Moore Jr. is a Black writer\, poet\, hip-hop/music lover\, community activist and feminist with a physical disability. He has been sharing his perspective on identity\, race and disability over the past thirteen years. His work began in London\, England where he discovered a black disabled movement\, eventually leading to the creation of his lecture series: “On the Outskirts: Race & Disability.” Leroy is co-founder and the Community Relations Director of the Sins Invalid performance project\, and is also a contributing writer and performer for many itsshows. He is the creator of Krip-Hop Nation (a group of hip-hop artists with disabilities and other disabled musicians from around the world) and produced the Krip-Hop Mixtape Series.  In addition to founding several movements and organizations\, Leroy is one of the leading voices around police brutality and wrongful incarceration of people with disabilities. He has won many awards for his advocacy from the San Francisco Mayor’s Disability Council under Willie L. Brown\, to the Local Hero Award in 2002 from Public Television Station\, KQED in San Francisco. Leroy is currently writing a Krip-Hop book with Professor Terry Rowden as well as his poetry/lyrics book\, The Black Kripple Delivers Poetry & Lyrics. \n \nPhoto credit: Marc Hors \nAdrian Arias is a Peruvian-born visual artist and poet. He has worked as the Multimedia Coordinator at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts since 2001. During years 1981-2001\, Adrian was part of Arias & Aragon\, comprised of two visual artists who are recognized as the pioneers of video-art in Peru. They are winners of important prizes for their artwork in Peru\, France and Japan. Adrian’s visual art\, video-poems and poetry have been exhibited all around the world\, including Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, Peru\, Dominican Republic\, Canada\, U.S.\, Greece\, Italy\, France\, Poland\, Spain\, and Japan. His video Frida in the Mirror / Frida en el espejo was an official selection at the SF Film Festival and was also the winner at the Berkeley Film & Video Festival in 2009. His poetry has also been awarded in Peru\, Argentina\, US and Macedonia. In 2010\, Adrian had an Artist Residency at the de Young Museum of San Francisco. \n“In my work I try to connect the real world with the world of the unknown\, using the absurd and its aesthetic possibilities\, poetry and performatic techniques” – Adrian Arias \nMore on the Programs: \nFamily Art is a free art program offered by the Red Poppy Art House every Saturday 1-4pm. The program proudly participates in the outstanding bimonthly arts festival\, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP). Each alternating first Saturday of the month\, Family Art expands upon its usual afternoon activities and reaches even deeper into the Mission community. The families\, youth and volunteers are encouraged to partake in the organizational process\, curating\, presenting and\, of course\, performing. Activities are led by Sofia Elias. \nThe Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly\, multidisciplinary\, unruly intercultural happening that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco. The MAPP has produced over 65 neighborhood-level arts festivals since its inception. Instead of an “art walk\,” the MAPP is a collage of 10-20 odd spaces transformed into micro art centers\, focused on intimate artistic and cultural exchange among people. It was founded with some of the same organizational principles as the Red Poppy Art House (which still enthusiastically participates in MAPP as a neighborhood hub) as they both rely on the energy of the surrounding community\, and operate with the help of many volunteers. Placing art and performance on the street level\, MAPP utilizes such alternative spaces as private garages\, gardens\, living rooms\, studios\, street corners\, and small businesses. At its heart\, the MAPP shows how ordinary spaces can be made extra-ordinary through creative techniques. \nFor more information on the MAPP\, visit the Poppy’s webpage or the MAPP website.

SUMMARY:Rob Reich Quintet: "Shadowbox" CD Release
DESCRIPTION:Accordion player and pianist Rob Reich is quintessentially what makes the San Francisco music scene a vibrant and vital mecca for independent music; he’s become one of its stalwart underground artists. Shadowbox\, the musician’s debut album\, marks a fully realized collection of original compositions. The music branches off from the musician’s work with revered Bay Area ensemble Tin Hat Trio\, mixing improvisational romps with refined and melodic ensemble arrangements. Doses of wry humor and elements of spontaneous revelation keep the music characteristically Reich\, whose idiosyncratic accordion prowess helps propel the instrument’s modern renaissance. \nRob Reich Quintet is:\nRob Reich – accordion & piano\nBen Goldberg – clarinets\nIla Cantor – guitar\nJohn Wiitala – bass\nEric Garland – drums \n“Rob‘s music is just like he is: guileless\, thoughtful\, playful and charming. His music wears a bowler hat and a pair of Chuck Taylors. Imagine finding out that your grandpa is an amazing ballroom dancer… and is inexplicably in his thirties again. That’s Rob Reich.” – Carla Kihlstedt\, Tin Hat Trio \n“Whatever context he’s in\, Reich transforms it into a creative hothouse where thousands of musical flowers bloom.” – Andy Gilbert\, East Bay Express \nLearn more about Rob here and get a taste of some of his music here. \nAdmission: $10-20. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome.\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

SUMMARY:Byb Chanel Bibene & Kiandanda Dance Theater: Taboo and Heroes
DESCRIPTION:“When war struck the Congo in 1997 my family and I fled Brazzaville to escape the chaos of the coup d’état. Kidnapped at one point\, I thought they would shoot me from behind when let go\, like so many others. Finally rejoining my parents and siblings\, we had a terrible choice to make: either walk nearly 500 miles to get to Pointe‐Noire or try to find a place on a train already overcrowded with thousands of people.” \n-Byb Chanel Bibene \nTaboo and Heroes is a multimedia work that addresses the reality and consequences of violence and corruption through the specific experience of the war that overtook the Republic of Congo in the late 1990’s. Using dance performance and creative documentary film-making\, choreographer Byb Chanel Bibene\, joined by Kiandanda Dance Theater\, narrates his personal experiences\, in which hope was the only strength for survival. Bringing together dance and theater performers\, an original music score\, set design\, and video elements\, the piece aims to transport the audience into the charged atmosphere of conflict that permeated the Republic of Congo and continues to echo in Congolese life to this day. \nFour years of process infuses this multiform work. Through his years of developing written and performance material\, Byb has vacillated between choreographing for the stage version and finishing the script for the film rendition of this story. During this presentation\, Byb will talk about his choreography process\, his personal stories of being a war survival\, what he witnessed\, how war has impacted his home country\, and how hope played a major role in keeping him and many others fighting for a better future and life. The evening will include footage of the process\, shot in the Congo and the Headlands of Marin County\, as well as live dance excerpts of the larger project. The night will conclude with a question-and-answer session accompanied by refreshments and Congolese specialties. \nFrom my questioning of the sources and implications of conflicts came the impetus to create a performance work that could inspire active consideration of current events\, in the belief that this is another step towards collective solutions to global problems. This work is intended to be a mobile\, internationally viable project that can widely communicate its political initiative through the explanatory power of its emotional and kinetic journeys. \nStories behind a civil war that tore a country. An evening of food\, film\, performance\, and discussion. This evening event will begin with a description of the Congo\, its social environment and its brief political history. Then will follow the introduction of the project Taboo and Heroes that will be presented in five parts: \n1st: The motive of the project (war and stories of victims and assailants)\, creative process in the Congo with a cast of Congolese dancers. We will share photos and videos shot in different locations of the Country.\n2nd: Creative and performance process in the US with a cast of American dancers. We will share photos.\n3rd: The film project: During the night we’ll discuss the need of shooting for a film. We’ll share the film trailer and photos and videos shot in the Marin Headlands.\n4th: The event will culminate to an excerpt performance of the piece by the dancers.\n5th: In the Congo we welcome our guests with food and drinks\, here we mingle and we are open to your questions. \n“This project is furthermore a turning point in my career as choreographer: it is an extensive\, long-term undertaking\, employing new creative approaches in my choreography and socio-political purpose. The fruition of this project will allow Kiandanda Dance Theater to establish itself significantly in its new home in the Bay Area.”\n– Byb Chanel Bibene \nByb blogs about his process here and here.\nWatch an excerpt of the performance.\nRSVP on Facebook. \nThis work was developed through the CounterPulse Performing Diaspora Program with the support of the Ken Hempel Fund for the Arts\, National Endowment for the Arts\, San Francisco Arts Commission\, and the Walter & Elise Haas Fund.\n \nDancers’ Group fiscally sponsors Taboo and Heroes. Taboo and Heroes is made possible through the generous support of the Zellerbach Family Foundation and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation\, CounterPulse\, the San Francisco Arts Commission\, San Francisco International Art Festival\, Sean Carson & UC Berkeley\, Sarah Lappas & CSUS Sacramento\, and all individuals who have donated and supported the project. \nAdmission: $5-20. Doors at 6:30pm. Event at 7:00pm. All ages welcome. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

Red Poppy resident artists Byb Chanel Bibene\, Iu-Hui Chua\, and Todd Thomas Brown share their artistic and pedagogical practice and process through movement workshops\, artist performances\, discussion\, and sharing. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes for movement. \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS: \n11am – 11:45pm: Byb Chanel Bibene – African Contemporary Dance \nByb Chanel Bibene uses movements inspired by the traditional dances from the Congo as a springboard into the African contemporary dance aesthetic.

No experience is necessary\, just an open bodymind and a desire to be oneself. \n1:30pm-2:15pm: Todd Brown – Basics of Argentine Tango \nRed Poppy founder Todd Thomas Brown covers the fundamentals of Argentine tango partnering techniques. At it’s most basic level\, Argentine tango is a dance of walking in the the embrace of another. While the dance can become quite complicated with complex figures\, at its core is a spirit of improvisation. No experience or partner necessary. \nEach artist will present a 45-minute workshop session\, followed by performances by Byb and Iu-Hui. The afternoon will conclude in a group sharing session with an open floor for movement and discussion. \nARTISTS’ BIOS:\nByb Chanel Bibene is a choreographer and performer working in theater and contemporary dance.

She manifests work that is creative\, intuitive and impacting. Simultaneously experimental\, performance art\, installation\, physical theater\, sculpture\, and memory\, her work utilizes intense visual and physical components to encourage connection\, curiosity and change. She has been a member of Anna Halprin’s Sea Ranch Collective for several years (including performing in the Isadora Duncan Award winning re-staging of Parades and Changes) and been an associate teacher for Ms. Halprin\, teaching her classes while she has been on tour. In 2011 she collaborated with the distinguished Asian American performance artist Dan Kwong on a multi-media production which premiered in Los Angeles.

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. \nAdmission: Free\nTime: 11am-4pm. All ages welcome and experience levels welcome. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here.
