SUMMARY:October 1st MAPP: Calling Divine Spirits / Joining Opposing Forces
DESCRIPTION:Byb Kongo Bibene presents Nkisi Nkondi: A Divine Sculpture from Central Africa\, a public talk which reveals the not so told functions of the nkisi nkondi\, the sacred statues found in the great kingdom of Kongo in the 19th century. The Nkisis were power figures used by individuals\, families\, or whole communities to destroy or weaken evil spirits\, prevent or cure illnesses\, repel bad deeds\, solemnize contracts or oath taking\, and resolve disputes. A diviner or holy person would activate the statue\, using magical substances. In this presentation\, Byb shows a portrait of Central Africa before and after colonization\, with social\, political\, and religious implications. The talk precedes a demonstration of a few dances that may have served as support in the process of calling for the divine spirits to inhabit the body of the nkisi nkondi\, as practiced by the Kongo people.  \nDynamism is Ben Baker’s project for the exploration of themes relating to the deliberate bringing together of oppositional forces. He has adopted the practice of butoh to examine existentialist themes. Butoh\, known as the Dance of Utter Darkness\, is characterized by dancing through imagery and may be utilized to examine the ongoing battle between light and darkness.\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 \nMAPP Schedule:\n7:00-8:00PM – Nkisi Nkondi: A Divine Sculpture from Central Africa\nDance Demonstration & Public Talk with Byb Kongo Bibene\n8:10-9:10PM – Dynamism\nButoh Dance-Theatre Talk & Performance with Ben Baker\n \nAbout the Artists:\nByb Chanel Bibene is a choreographer and performer working in theater and contemporary dance. His own technical and aesthetic sensibility is rooted in the culture and dances of his country of origin\, the Republic of Congo. He has toured the world and performed internationally with companies and choreographers from Africa\, England\, France\, and the USA. Artistic Director of Kiandanda Dance Theater\, Bibene launched Mbongui Square\, a multidisciplinary arts event that gathers artists from the Bay Area and around the world. \nBen Baker holds an MA in Drama from San Francisco State University and an MFA in Contemporary Performance from Naropa University. He is a Performance Artist that assumes many roles in theatre as a writer\, director\, actor\, dancer\, and choreographer. He presently teaches improvisation\, movement meditation\, and ecstatic voice workshops in SF.\n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: Event 7:00PM\nAdmission: Free\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

SUMMARY:Resilience and the Unseen in the Context of an Art House
DESCRIPTION:RPAH Professional Development Track\nSpeaker Series in Community-Engaged Arts Presenting ft. Todd Thomas Brown\n \nRed Poppy Art House founder Todd T Brown headlines the Poppy’s October professional development session with a conversation on resilience while making art and creating art spaces. \n“Zena Carlota\, Red Poppy’s Managing Director\, asked if I would be the guest speaker for the Poppy’s October professional development session. I decided I would take the opportunity to share some of the ideas/insights that lay closest to my heart\, ones that have served as a guide across the years of making art and creating art spaces\, but that I don’t always get to talk about. Like\, what is it that brings a sense of magic into the moment? Often\, our most amazing (transformative) experiences of connection happen entirely unplanned\, emerging out of a synchronicity of variables in a given moment such that it comes almost as a surprise. In art and in community engagement\, this is something we seek–to facilitate\, or invite\, transformative moments of connection. But\, if we can’t plan spontaneity\, what are we to do? How do we create space\, an opening\, for something yet to be known or determined? Or\, what can we do to set the context\, and the invitation? \n“Underneath these kinds of questions\, for me\, is a profound appreciation for the formless quality of life; life energy and life intelligence\, the kind of intelligence that lives in children\, in our immune systems\, in plants and ecosystems of nature–a constant spring of resilience. We can’t own it or control it\, but we can make a little more space in our lives\, and in the environments we inhabit\, to let it do its work. This is the kind of inquiry I enjoy looking at\, and I’m hoping we can have a conversation along these lines\, and see how these things relate to the work of art houses and to a range artistic practice.”\n \nAbout Our Guest:\nTodd Thomas Brown\, a multi-practice artist engaged in visual arts\, performance\, and social practice\, has been awarded numerous grants in disciplines of music and theater. His projects include collaborative music ensemble Nefasha Ayer: The Space of In-Between\, the dance-theater production of “Teobi’s Dreaming: A Performative Inquiry into Biology and Being\,” and\, more recently\, the collaborative dance/performance piece “This. Now.” Todd\, the founder of the Mission Arts & Performance Project/MAPP in San Francisco\, has performed and/or presented work throughout the Bay Area\, Europe\, the Caribbean\, South America\, and Mexico.\n \nPhoto: Sky Whales by Martin Vlach\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. \nFocused on “community engaged arts presenting\,” the 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 7:00PM\nAdmission: Free\nAll ages are welcome.
