We’d like to hear whatever you choose to say\, write\, paint\, record\, dance\, photograph\, or compose to/for/about the fragment of the planet known as Long Beach\, CA. We’re asking for work that addresses\, describes\, converses with\, interrogates\, celebrates\, howls\, laughs\, screams at\, symbolizes or represents our land-sea-air-scape and anything in it.” \nView video here: \n \neARThLB ACE Event contributing artists:\nAkari Komura • Alexander McVickar • anthill.on.linden • Bret Harte Elementary School students • Carole Rouin • cindy “cindita” macias • Connie DK Lane • Da Aie Park • Dani Lunn • David Eddington • Institute 4 Labor Generosity Workers & Uniforms • Karena Massengill • Kay Erickson • Kommunitarischerkitschkünstler • mirrored fatality • Ricardo Tomasz • Sheriann Ki Sun Burnham\n(Artist bios available on the soundpedro2023 east village caravanserai artist page.)

The Institute 4 Labor Generosity Workers & Uniforms space will be activated–come by and join us for what will now be a precursor\, or trailer\, for the full production rescheduled in the Fall. \neast village caravanserai (caravanserai)\nand\nInstitute 4 Labor Generosity Workers & Uniforms\npresent \n“Socrate\,” at Frau Fiber’s Institute 4 Labor Generosity Workers & Uniforms (ILGWU)\, on March 14\, 2020. 2 performances: 7pm and 8pm. 322 Elm Avenue\, Long Beach\, CA 90802 \nORIGINAL PLAN: “Socrate” is the first production of caravanserai’s 2020 season. Composed in 1919\, “Socrate” was commissioned by the Princesse Edmond de Polignac\, born Winnaretta Singer\, heir to the American Singer Sewing Machine fortune who enjoyed a happy lavender marriage with Prince Edmond while indulging in dilectations and dalliances with the damsels. She used her resources to fund a wide range of causes\, notably a salon that supported and entertained the likes of Monet\, Colette\, Cocteau\, Valery\, Fauré\, Debussy\, Ravel\, and Stravinsky. Her numerous public health projects in Paris included public housing\, shelters for people sleeping rough\, and hospitals for working people. Collaborating with Marie Curie during WWI\, Singer converted private limousines into mobile radiology units to help wounded soldiers at the front. The performances of “Socrate” will celebrate the extraordinary Winnaretta Singer during Women’s History Month. This free event is directed by Marco Schindelmann\, with performers from the University of Redlands Opera Workshop. The performance will invite audiences to connect this century old work to contemporary issues. \nWHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE TIME OF COVID19: \nBy March 14 2020\, although State and City shelter-in-place directives were not yet mandatory\, we were all learning how to rethink public meetings and performances. Academic institutions were already cancelling student participation in activities and so our updated publicity materials read\, “UPDATE: “Socrate”: the event is not cancelled but it is changed\, to accommodate safety requirements that prevent the whole cast from assembling. The Institute 4 Labor Generosity Workers & Uniforms space will be activated. east village caravanserai (caravanserai) and Institute 4 Labor Generosity Workers & Uniforms will present “Socrate\,” at Frau Fiber’s ILGWU\, on March 14\, 2020. 2 performances: 7pm and 8pm. 322 Elm Avenue\, Long Beach\, CA” \nThe performances at IFLGWU followed extensive preparations with the cast of singers at University of Redlands\, which included a social practice workshop by Frau Fiber. Two performances\, with full cast and orchestra were performed in Redlands\, one within the “Gritty Salon” series and the other on the amphitheatre stage—both were informed by the social practice exploration of transnational garment production\, an aspect of the work that also illuminated  the final production in Long Beach. \nLast minute Covid19 health concerns necessitated a change of plans as student singers were prevented from attending. We substituted a staged reading focused on Winnaretta Singer\, the works she commissioned\, and her time in Paris\, with a particular emphasis on the death and devastation caused by The Spanish Flue. With script\, poetry and music\, we connected the moments of pandemic across 100 years. During this last Second Saturday Artwalk before the lockdown\, an audience gathered and celebrated the life and accomplishments of this extraordinary lesbian icon\, just as we were moving into our own uncharted epidemiological terrain. The performances took place against a background of early-modernism\, graphic imagery highlighting Winnaretta Singer and the ubiquitous Singer Sewing Machine\, one of the formative phenomena of current garment production systems. Some audience members shared the inside space with us and some stood outside\, watching through the storefront windows. \n“Socrate” successfully met our Mission: east village caravanserai curates and presents dynamic\, relevant theatre-based performance fostering dialogue and community. \n \n  \n \n  URL:https://www.eastvillagecaravanserai.org/event/socrate/ LOCATION:ILGWU\, 322 Elm Avenue\, Long Beach\, CA\, 90802\, United States CATEGORIES:Opera,Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.eastvillagecaravanserai.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Socrate-2_6_20.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190824T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190824T210000 DTSTAMP:20260529T082938 CREATED:20190724T232011Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190826T174843Z UID:648-1566676800-1566680400@www.eastvillagecaravanserai.org SUMMARY:A BODY IN THE O DESCRIPTION:A big thank you to everyone who attended this wonderful evening! \nEspecially to Tim Miller for bringing in “A Body in the O” to Long Beach\, and to Virginia DeMoss for letting east village caravanserai use The Found Theatre to present Tim’s exciting performance. For more information about Tim’s books and future performances\, visit: http://www.timmillerperformer.com  \n \n\neast village caravanserai presents \na new performance (and book)\nby  performer Tim Miller \nClimb along with performer Tim Miller inside the giant O of the Hollywood sign – or as Shakespeare called it “the wooden O” of the theatre- as Miller performs a new work created  from his brand new book of performances and stories A BODY IN THE O . \nJumping off from a day in 1984 when Miller scrambled up  inside of the O of the Hollywood sign and imagined the performance space tree house of his dreams (Highways)\, A BODY IN THE O  journeys through the hoops of the Department of Homeland Security\, the human heart’s mysterious Os and finally a wedding day as Miller imagines the full possibility of performance that changes the world inside these wooden Os! \n“For an entire generation of queer artists working in the experimental theater world—including me—Tim Miller led the way. His imagination\, daring and vision continue to inspire us.”    —Moisés Kaufman\, author of The Laramie Project \n“Tim Miller sings that song of the self which interrogates\, with explosive\, exploding\, subversive joy and freedom\, the constitution and borderlines of selfhood. You think you don’t need to hear such singing? You do! You must!”\n–Tony Kushner\, author of Angels in America \nTIM MILLER is an internationally acclaimed solo performer. Hailed for its humor and  passion\, Miller’s solo theater works have been presented all over North America\, Australia\, and Europe at such prestigious venues as Yale Repertory Theatre\, the Institute of Contemporary Art (London)\, the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis)\, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He is the author of the books SHIRTS & SKIN\, BODY BLOWS and 1001 BEDS\, which won the 2007 literary prize for best Drama-Theater book from Lambda Literary Foundation. Miller has taught performance in the theater departments at UCLA and at Cal State L.A.. He is a founder of two of the most influential performance spaces in the United States: Performance Space 122 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica\, CA. He can be reached at his website: \nwww.TimMillerPerformer.com \nExcerpt from A BODY IN THE O \n\n\n\n\nCan this cockpit hold\n\n\nThe vasty fields of France? Or may we cram\n\n\nWithin this wooden O the very casques\n\n\nThat did affright the air at Agincourt?\n\n\n\n\nWell\, we better damn well try: For if we are not going to try to “cram within this wooden O” the Battle of Agincourt along with drawing to take up the battle to confront racism\, the struggle against homophobia\, the challenge to imagine a better future\, then why bother making theater! \nSolo Performance as First Response \nSolo performers are first responders. If a theatre artist is taking the full heat of their vocation seriously\, they can be among the first humans to creatively spelunking into he messy stew of the injustices that surround them and steep in to confront a new crisis that threatens their communities and bring it to the “wooden O.” Long before government\, the law\, or community structures marshal their resources to respond to a social challenge\, there is usually a period where solo performers–including storytellers\, slam poets\, risk-taking comics\, and performance artists–in lean and mean creative gathering spaces are the first to publicly cry foul and demand that we do something. \n\nThe Found Theatre \n599 Long Beach Blvd.\, Long Beach 90802 \n(corner of 6th & Long Beach Blvd.)\nThe Found Theatre is located in bike-friendly downtown Long Beach \n(bike racks available in front of the theatre).\nThe Metro Blue Line 5th St. station is located directly in front of the theatre\, as is a downtown Passport shuttle stop. \nParking: \nTwo hours free parking in the CityPlace lot just west of the theatre.
