April 2000 marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of Indochina and the end
of its war with America, inspiring this exhibition of works by artists with
connections to Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. Indochina: The Art of War
addresses the relationships between the East and West, history, personal and
institutional memories, and the complexities of experience and the place of
culture in our lives. Working primarily in photography, these artists aim
to remember and understand, and to make us aware of what took place during
the war and its aftermath.

Don't miss out on the fun and frolic of CONDORS on
March 23 at the Japan America Theatre. Call box
office for tickets at 213-680-3700.

The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center
(JACCC) proudly presents Condors, Japans most
outrageous new dance theater company, in "Love You
Live," on Friday, March 23, 2001 at 8pm at the Japan
America Theatre (JAT) in Little Tokyo in Downtown Los
Angeles. The performance is part of the first U.S.
tour of the wildly playful, all-male group that Dance
Magazine Japan describes as "eros with madness and
joyfulness." The JAT is located at 244 S. San Pedro
St. Tickets are $20/$18 reserved, $17/$15 JACCC
Members, $12 Students/Seniors/Groups.

"Both mysterious and nuttyIf there had been an
applause meter on the premises, the needle would very
likely have swung off the high end for Condors."
NEW YORK TIMES

CONDORS: This crowd-pleasing, all-male "bad boys" of
comedic dance theater from Japan premiered their
signature brand of sexy, spoofy dance theater to rave
reviews in NYC in January 2000. With a corps of
"utterly untrained and vicious" dancers, the company
consists of a dozen neer-do-wells who perform
hilarious and high-energy skits as sumo wrestlers,
bowling pins, and smirking bald brides and grooms,
among other iconic images. Director/choreographer and
lead dancer Ryohei Kondos weightless and razor sharp
movement is combined with unique and kinetic
stagecraft, taking the audience on a wild, rock and
roll ride through pop culture. The company will film
footage in L.A.s Little Tokyo for use in their West
Coast premiere production at the Japan America
Theatre.

Utilizing a casual, free-form, streetwise, movement
style reminiscent of Stomp!, most of the dancers are
formally untrained but all possess unique stage
personalities. The groups standard costume is the
gakuran, a traditional military-style uniform worn for
decades by most Japanese schoolboys. The use of the
gakuran within the context of performances that
subvert Japans patriarchal male identity has gained
them much fashion/style publicity in their home
country. The company performs regularly to
enthusiastic audiences throughout Japan. This
performance is part of their U.S. premiere tour, which
begins in New York.

RYOHEI KONDO (Director/Choreographer) Ryohei Kondo
was selected as one of the top 100 21st Century
Cultural VIPs by Japans SPA Magazine. Kondo is
credited as the new Messiah of the Japanese
contemporary dance by creating his own world of a
comedy dance theatre, which overturned the
pre-existing concept of dance in Japan. "He may be
the Messiah who turns Japanese contemporary dance
world into mainstream entertainment." Bridge
Magazine. Born in Peru and raised in Argentina,
Ryohei Kondo founded Condors in 1996 in Tokyo. He has
directed and choreographed nearly a dozen works for
the company while also working with other artists and
maintaining a solo performance career. His work,
"P-kies Summer Concert 1995," was created for Fuji
Television and toured to more than 40 venues in Japan.
He has also helped international screen and stage
star John Lone realize Lones stage show, "Night and
Day." Kondo made a major international debut as the
lead dancer in Kota Yamazakis "Inflection" in 1994 at
the prestigious International Choreographic
Competition in Bagnolet, France. He has also performed
with butoh pioneer Akira Kasai and such well-known
choreographers as Kuniko Kisanuki and Toshiko Takeuchi
among others.

DIRECTIONS & TICKETS: The Japan America Theatre (JAT)
is located at 244 South San Pedro Street (between 2nd
and 3rd Streets) in Little Tokyo, Downtown Los
Angeles. For tickets, call the JAT Box Office,
213-680-3700, Mon.Sat., 12-5pm or Sun. after 12pm on
show days.

Selected Year 2000 PRESS QUOTES for Condors:

"A comfortable, harmonious world is instantly
overturned by the group who call themselves the
Condors, a rough gang of bad boys. They are
criticizing dance which heretofore exhibited a taste
for conventional beauty and emphasis on technique.
But rather than loudly critiquing or laughing, they
snicker and play on the stage as though to say, "It's
more fun this way." (Dance Magazine, June 2000)

"Condors clearly are aware of "the second
possibility." Such limits as dance and what is not
dance, male and female, hairdo and physique, white and
black are critiqued along with laughter."
(Ballet, July 2000)

"They dash alone through the Japanese dance scene with
their unprecedented performance full of humor."
(Hanako, February 2000)

"For those who want to laugh all they want to and be
submerged in a little bit of nostalgia. For all those
who were once boys."
(Men's Extra, March 2000)

" They move ceaselessly, shed sweat, fill the theater
with their energy. Winds of frenzy and humor they
stir up as they prepare for their next performance
place, Europe."
(Dance Magazine, May 2000, "Contemporary Dance
Frontier")

"The distance between street dancers and dance on the
stage is far apart. But Condors have that feeling of
familiarity of the street dance. Their attitude of
giving preference to uncommon absurdity over formal
beauty
Is thrilling."
(Beyond Da Vinci, Color Lead Story)

"Full of a daring and lighthearted desire to laugh off
the idea of established dance, they continue to double
betray the audience's expectations and predictions.
Their sense of play communicates itself
to the audience, and the whole theater was enveloped
in laughter.
(Dance Magazine, October 2000)

Greetings...

I am looking for a writer to work with on a story having to do with Broadway
Avenue in downtown LA. Broadway Ave. is on the verge of separating even
further from its past and some of those 'links', those that connect the
present to the past are breaking everyday as deals are being brokered to
revitalize the LA's 'Historic Core', as the area is called. The project I
am looking for a writer for has to do with one of those links that will be
broken on the 28th of March.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-redevelopment/revitalization/preservation,
I just see there is much to be lost in the transition, and as a photographer
my goal is to document this.

It is imperative that anyone interested contact me ASAP for a discussion on
the direction of this project and potential outlets for exposure and
publication. I am particularly interested in working with someone who is
just starting out and is interested in solidifying a name for themselves in
the area of urban development, 'street' history, or social/cultural issues
of contemporary LA. I am in a simliar nascent position, and believe that
for the write person, this opportunity I am advertising would be mutually
beneficial.

Please email me: alexyy9@.... I will respond to all emails I
receive, if you don't hear from me within a day after you reply, please
resend your message. I have been having trouble with my email account...

Thank you,


Lorena Turner

Israeli Artist Yair Dalal Performs L.A. Concert for
Peace on March 20 with Houman Pourmehdi


Don't miss this exclusive concert at Santa Monica’s Morgan Wixon Theater.
"Yair Dalal takes you on a captivating journey," says the Jerusalem Post.

Touring Israeli world music artist Yair Dalal will perform with Iranian-born

evening benefit the May 20 peace conference, “The Israeli/Palestinian Crisis:
New Conversations on a Pluralistic Future,” sponsored by Open Tent Middle
East Coalition (www.opentent.org).

reinvigorating Eastern Jewish musical traditions in Israel and abolishing
ideological barriers between Jews and Arabs. He was a featured performer at
the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize Gala Concert honoring the late Israeli prime
minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yassir Arafat. Dalal frequently
forms musical partnerships with international musicians of diverse ethnic
backgrounds, and appears on the forthcoming recording “One” with Omar Faruk
Tekbilek, Rabbi Haim Louk and Nabil Azzam. He refers to the Middle Eastern
music he performs as “a route of brotherhood between peoples living in the
region because peace is the most precious merchandise of all." His most
recent CD is “Perfume Road.”

A top-10 favored percussionist of world music critics, Houman Pourmehdi is a
cofounder of the Lian Ensemble and a master of daf and tombak. His Persian
and Middle Eastern repertoire includes Sufi music and a variety of world
music styles. He performed on “Syncopation” with percussive master John
Bergamo, and has recorded “Quest,” “The Name of The Beloved” and “Banquet
in the Tavern of Ruin.”

The evening begins with a reception at 7 pm featuring the art of Lidia

--------------------
1. WHAT IS LA CULTURE NET?
LA Culture Net is a forum in which arts administrators, artists, and anyone passionate about the arts in Los Angeles County can communicate with each other. Originally launched by the Getty Center in 1995 in response to interest from local arts, cultural, and educational institutions, the listserv now exists on its own, with some support provided by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission. Appropriate postings include announcements of arts events, job listings in the field, and cultural policy discussions about all topics, including advocacy.

2. HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE TO LA CULTURE NET?
To subscribe, send an e-mail to <laculturenet-subscribe@...>. To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to <laculturenet-unsubscribe@...>. You may also modify your subscription settings, review archived messages, or take advantage of other Yahoo Groups features like chats, polls, and shared files (for download by members only) by going to the group website at <>. You will need a Yahoo account to take advantage of these features.

3. HOW DO I SEND MESSAGES TO LA CULTURE NET?

4. WHAT TOPICS ARE BEING DISCUSSED?
LA Culture Net discussion focuses on everything having to do with the arts. Feel free to introduce new topics and questions that serve your interests! Announcements of relevant programs or position openings are also welcome.

5. WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE ON LA CULTURE NET?
LA Culture Net is open to anyone interested in the culture of greater Los Angeles: artists, museum curators, activists, programming staff from community organizations, librarians, archivists, and teachers in K-12 and higher education interested in using networks to access
cultural material for curriculum development and classroom instruction. LACN is an unmoderated list, and members are free to un/subscribe or post to the list without the moderator's approval. Only members may post to the list, so there should not be any outside spam posted to this list.

6. HOW MANY MESSAGES WILL I BE GETTING FROM LA CULTURE NET?
As of February 2001, there are about 350 subscribers. Traffic, or mail volume, varies but usually range from 10 to 15 a week. For your convenience, all messages sent to the new LACN address will be tagged with [LACN] in the subject line, so you can easily identify the e-mails sent to LACN-list. Based on common Netiquette and past problems with large unsolicited attachment files, all e-mail attachments sent to LACN will be automatically rejected.

7. WHAT IS THE PREFERRED FORMAT FOR MESSAGES?
First of all, always put your name and email address at the end of every posting, so that other subscribers can easily identify you. It also helps to use a meaningful subject heading, so that people can see if your message deals with a topic that interests them. For job announcements, please include the phrase <JOB:> in the subject heading. For event announcements, please include the phrase <EVENT:> In the subject heading.

Examples:
Subject: JOB: Bilingual archivist wanted in Orange County
Subject: EVENT: LACN Web Raising this Saturday!
