The California Department of Education, the California Alliance for Arts
Education, the California Arts Council and The California Arts Project are
partners in presenting the ARTS WORK CONFERENCE in Pasadena, May 17 – 19th.
More than 400 teachers, administrators, artists, parents and community arts
activists will meet to exchange best practices, curriculum resources and
partnership strategies.


The ARTS WORK CONFERENCE this year will feature year-two results from the
Model Arts Program, a network of twenty-two diverse school districts
throughout California. Using a specially developed TOOLKIT, each district
will present a self-study of its arts programs, placing them on a continuum
of program implementation. Soon all California schools will share in the
research and contribute to the proven methods of comprehensive, sequential,
standards-based arts education through a groundbreaking website:
www.teachingarts.org.

The ARTS WORK CONFERENCE will also bring together the members of the
California Arts Assessment Network who have pioneered student assessment in
the arts, along with appropriate professional development for K-12 educators
on assessment techniques. Special workshops will be presented on the new
California Content Standards in the Visual and Performing Arts, adopted by
the State Board of Education January 10, 2001.

For anyone concerned about improving education in California, for anyone
eager to maintain California’s competitive edge in business and industry, for
anyone interested in the role of the arts to invigorate community life, the
ARTSWORK CONFERENCE offers a unique opportunity to learn about the excellent
work now in progress. I would be pleased to answer questions about the
Conference or you may contact Beth Mott, Project Coordinator, for further

ARTSWORK


A Call for Arts Education for all California Students
THE REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT’S TASK FORCE ON THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING
ARTS, 1997



After a series of four meetings, May to September 1997, the State
Superintendent’s task force of 60 artists, business and industry
representatives, arts providers, researchers, scholars, parents and educators
prepared the following Call To Action.



The Vision:

The Superintendent’s Task Force on the Visual and Performing Arts envisions
fully funded arts education programs that reach all of California’s students.
Schools with strong arts education programs are better schools. Arts
education must not be limited to students who are especially talented. All
students can learn and benefit from arts education. All teachers and
administrators, not just those who specialize in the arts, must support and
be involved in arts education and must have opportunities to participate in
well-designed preservice and in-service arts education programs. Time,
staff, facilities, materials, and equipment must be provided to support arts
education programs.



The Goal:

All students in California public schools will have high-quality arts
education program from prekindergarten through grade twelve. All students
will:

? Develop and demonstrate literacy in and through dance, music, theatre and
the visual arts.
? Participate in arts-related school-to-career experiences.
? Have access to the arts through a variety of educational experiences and
technologies both in and out of school.


Recommendations

To achieve this goal, the Task Force makes the following recommendations:

Recommendation 1 – Literacy in and Through the Arts
Incorporate dance, music, theater and the visual arts into the core
curriculum for all students and ensure that arts programs are taught by
trained and qualified arts educators and are supported by classroom teachers
and artists.

Recommendation 2 – Standards and Assessment
Provide statewide content and performance standards in the visual and
performing arts that specify the competencies students should demonstrate in
each of the arts as they progress from prekindergarten through grade twelve.

Recommendation 3 – Preparation for Careers
Provide career awareness, career exploration, and career orientation and
preparation experiences in the visual and performing arts for all students.

Recommendation 4 – Access for All Students
Provide every student with an arts education program that includes access to
the arts through technology and access to the arts in the community.

Recommendation 5 – Support for Arts Programs
Develop an action plan that provides support for the implementation of
comprehensive and sequential visual and performing arts programs in every
school for all students.

The ARTSWORK Building Standards-Based Programs conference is for
administrators, teachers,
arts specialists, teaching artists, parents and community people who are
ready to evaluate their current
programs and needs, celebrate their successes, and develop short and long
range action plans for program
implementation, improvement, and expansion.

The major g oa l s of the conference a re to:
? demonstrate how comprehensive arts education programs can and do work in
individual districts
throughout the state, regardless of size, location or expertise;
? provide information on how to move toward standards-based instruction in
the visual and performing arts;
? present tools for moving through an arts program self-study process and on
to an action plan for
implementing, improving or expanding your visual and performing arts program.
Who is this conference for?

VC Film Fest - the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film & Video Festival Turns
Sweet 16
LA Premieres and World Premieres of Over 80 Films and Video Works and the
25th Anniversary of a Landmark Film Will Celebrate Over 30 years of Asian
American Media

Los Angeles, CA April 25, 2001 Mark your calendars for VC FilmFest 2001:
The Visual Communications Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film & Video Festival,
set for May 17-24, 2001. Now in its 16th year, the Festival will unreel over
90 films and videos will at the Directors Guild of America, The Village at Ed
Gould Plaza, and the Japan America Theatre.

"This year's VC FilmFest is representative of the coming of age for many
of our under represented Asian American communities" said Festival
Co-Director David Magdael. "A majority of our festival films reflect the
changing face of Asian America, as well as a growing cosmopolitan profile
of Asian communities including the Philippines, Vietnam, India, Malaysia,
Thailand, Singapore, and the gay Asian communities. This year’s featured
Asian American directors have served up a variety of works that pull no
punches in being distinctly American while keeping true to their Asian
roots."

Bookending the Festival will be the Los Angeles Opening Night Premiere
of "Green Dragon" by Timothy Linh Bui (co-producer and co-screenwriter of the
multi-award-winning "Three Seasons") on Thursday, May 17 at the Directors
Guild of America; and a special rare showing of John Korty's 1976 telefilm
"Farewell to Manzanar" on Thursday, May 24 at the Japan America Theatre.
Starring Forest Whitaker, Patrick Swayze, Don Duong, and Hiep Thi Le, "Green
Dragon" (an official selection of the 2001 Sundance Film Festival) is a
moving, multi-part story that tells the tale of the first wave of Vietnamese
refugees who were housed in camps across the southwestern deserts of the
United States in 1975. And "Farewell to Manzanar," based on the book by
Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James Houston, is perhaps the first
feature-length film to tell the story of the WWII internment of Japanese
Americans from a unique firsthand perspective.

Other works by Asian American makers include:

o The Los Angeles premiere of Anurag Mehta's Slamdance Film Festival
favorite, "American Chai," a coming-of-age comedy of a young college student
torn between traditional Indian values and the pursuit of his rock ’n roll
dreams (Fri., 5/18, DGA).

o Rod Pulido's much-anticipated "The Flip Side" will also make its Los
Angeles premiere on Saturday, May 19 at the DGA. The first feature effort by
a Filipino American filmmaker invited to the Sundance Flim Festival, "The
Flip Side" tells the story of a young college student dealing with his new
found Filipinoness and trying to get his own family to recognize their own
selves.

o The highly acclaimed underground animation hit, "Wave Twisters," from DJ
Q-Bert (Sat., May 19, DGA), "Roads and Bridges," the electrifying first
feature by Robert Altman protege Abraham Lim (Sun., May 20, DGA), the L.A.
premiere of Amy Chen's "The Chinatown Files" (Sun., May 20, DGA), and the
World Premiere of "Daughters of the Cloth" by Seung-Hyun Yoo.

International works include the Los Angeles premieres of Yongyooth
Thongkongtoon's highly acclaimed "The Iron Ladies," Kaze Shindo's
"Love/Juice," Djinn's "Return to Pontianak," "Spinning Gasing" by Teck
Tan, and "The Wrestlers" by Buddhadeb Gasgupta. Other international
highlights include "Anino" by Raymond Red, the first Filipino film to win
a coveted Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Short films and videos, traditionally the backbone of VC FilmFest, will
be represented by the likes of returning artists Francisco Aliwalas, Leo
Chiang, Kip Fulbeck, Richard Fung, Jane Kim, Richard Kim, Ellie Lee, Young-mi
Lee, Thomas Moon, Stann Nakazono, Fatimah Tobing Rony, Angel Velasco Shaw,
and many others. They will be joined by first-time Festival artists Rima
Anosa, Tammy Apana, Cynthia Ignacio, Juli Kang, Anne Misawa, Sara Takahashi,
Noriko Takabishi, Lito Torres, and others.

In addition to a full slate of seminars and panel discussions, the
Festival will once again present the annual Golden Reel Award, and will
additionally present the Asian Avenue.com Award to one of three distinctive
productions by Asian American filmmakers. And finally, in association with
the Japanese American National Museum, the Festival will present the premiere
of the three-part educational series, "Once Upon a Camp" on Saturday, May 19
at JANM.

"This year's festival will offer new voices from our own community,"
states Abraham Ferrer, festival co-director. "It's going to be a very
exciting showcase because the talent pool of Asian American filmmakers is
turning out some great works. We are no longer hiding or crouching. We are
representing!"

Subj: At the Luckman: Yusef Lateef and Randy Weston
Date: 4/25/01 10:03:18 PM Pacific Daylight Time
From: AField@... (Field, Adele)

LUCKMAN EVENT NOTIFICATION


A Rare Performance at the Luckman
YUSEF LATEEF AND RANDY WESTON IN CONCERT
WITH ADAM RUDOLPH AND ETERNAL WIND

Los Angeles - In a rare West Coast concert appearance, Yusef Lateef and
Randy Weston will perform at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex, Cal State L.A.,
on Saturday, April 28, at 8:00 p.m. Joining Yusef Lateef will be
composer/percussionist Adam Rudolph and Eternal Wind (Federico Ramos, Ralph
Jones and Charles Moore).

Since the 1950s, research scholar and composer/performer Dr. Yusef Lateef
has been a pioneer in the multicultural expression of "autophysiopsychic"
music - "coming from the physical, spiritual and mental self." He has
recorded over 60 records that creatively, succinctly, and clearly provide a
path for the new generation of "World" composers and musicians. He has
contributed to the legendary groups of Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus and
Cannonball Adderly, and led his own ensembles in tours worldwide. Currently
a Five College Professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Dr.
Lateef was a Senior Research Fellow at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria,
Nigeria from 1981 to 1985. "Since my return from Nigeria," he has written,
"I've been experiencing an ongoing dialectic reality in my approach to
melody, rhythm, harmony, form, and aesthetics."

Dr. Lateef has composed for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Augusta,
Georgia Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony of the New World. His
composition, The African-American Epic Suite, was recorded and performed by
the K?ln (Cologne) Radio Orchestra and received its U.S. première by the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 1998. Numerous publications to his credit in
both music and literature include "Repository of Musical Scales and
Patterns," and the novella Night in the Garden of Love (Vantage Press). In
concert with Eternal Wind, Dr. Lateef performs on the soprano and tenor
saxophones, shenai, Germanic C and alto flutes, piano, oboe, bamboo flute
and Chinese globular flute.

Eternal Wind co-founder Adam Rudolph is a master percussionist and composer
who has been in the vanguard of the development of cross-cultural
improvisational music for over 20 years. Combining music-making ideas from
around the globe, his compositions weave what he terms "an audio syncretic
musical fabric." Rudolph has performed in concerts throughout the U.S.,
Europe and Brazil with Don Cherry, Jon Hassel and Hassan Hakmoun, among
others. His repertoire of world rhythms come from the Balinese, Cuban,
Ghanaian, Haitian, Hindustani and Moroccan traditions, layered on top of his
strong foundation in American improvisational jazz drumming. While living in
Ghana in 1977, Rudolph met the Gambian griot Foday Musa Suso, with whom he
formed the Mandingo Griot Society in Chicago - the first band to blend
traditional African music with R&B and jazz. Although voted "Percussionist
Deserving Wider Recognition" in a Down Beat International Critics Poll,
Rudolph has "never been interested in trying to showcase technique on the
drum" - his performances are "always in the service of greater spiritual and
emotional expression."

To honor Yusef Lateef's sixty years of performing, Beyond the Sky -
featuring ten compositions by Rudolph and Lateef, three of which were
co-composed - premièred at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in February,
2000. In celebration of Dr. Lateef's 80th birthday, the CD was recorded the
following day, and later released through YAL and Meta Records.

For five decades, pianist/composer Randy Weston has used the 20th century
African Diaspora artform of jazz to manifest a musical free zone that exalts
the spirits, rhythms, hopes, dreams, dignity and beauty of the people who
are "darker than blue." The first musician to connect the dots drawn by
Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo's Afro-Cuban fusions with the ancestral power
points of the Motherland, Weston has transcended time, space, language, and
culture barriers with music that touches the universal human soul.

Randy Weston was born in 1926 in Brooklyn into a musical household. Although
he first picked up the drums, he switched to piano around age fifteen, and
turned professional in 1949. After early apprenticeships with Art Blakey,
Kenny Dorham and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Weston emerged with a mature
sound influenced by Duke, Monk and Nat "King" Cole. In 1955, Down Beat's
annual poll cited him as "Best New Talent" on piano. He hooked up with
Gillespie big band trombonist/arranger Melba Liston in 1958, who became a
crucial element in every major statement from him since. In 1967, an
18-country African tour under the auspices of the State Department led to a
six-year sojourn in Tangier, Morocco. There he ran a club and began three
decades of interaction with the Gnawan musical healers. King Hassan II of
Morocco honored his contributions in a 1998 ceremony.

According to Luckman Fine Arts Complex Director of Music Programming and
Research, flutist James Newton, "Each of these composers, steeped and raised
in the African American improvisational tradition, have expanded their music
into new horizons, with the culture of Africa at the core of that expansion.
The Luckman is honored to present two Grand Masters who have had a major
influence on the shaping of creative composition and improvisation. The
opportunity to hear artists of this caliber on the same night is something
that normally happens only in Japan and Europe."

Rozalla's Poem About America Today

Rozalla remembers a day when washington was sunny
but now it is gloomy and not very funny
Gone are the days when the white house was an orgy
Now it's a sex-deprived dungeon Yet Bush is still Whorey
The Republinazis just care about stealing tax dollars
and pocketing the cash as the rightwing screams & hollers
their bigotry and hatred is their only identity
Yet intelligence is something they do not have in plenty
Rozalla would like to kick Bush out and bring Clinton back
Look at this madness- Ashcroft pretending to like blacks?!?!
And Bush thinks hes environment friendly as he feeds us arsenic...
while he stands on trial for lying about texas funeral industry larsony?
This political terrorrism must be brought to an end
Before salmonella in hamburgers becomes a fashion trend
Rozalla admits she, Bill and Hillary have sex,
Yet even Jeb & Katherine have publicly kissed
So what if Bill Clinton lied in court about getting a blow job...
Five Un-Supreme Judges lie in court every day as their victims sob!
Rozalla sees all of our civil rights being diminished
Oh when will these miserable four years fucking finish?
The seas are rising as Rozalla sits here writing this poem
And Bush is spewing carbon dioxide into the Ozone!
And his oil allies refuse to lower their prices
At his own reccomendation while he pushes environmental vices
Then the ugly duckling wannabe presidnet calls China
And refuses to appologize oh how mature of him- the whiner!
The idiot is going to provoke a worldwide nuclear attack
with his foolishness and hostility Oh Fuck The Bushes are back.

WORLD PREMIERE AT THE LA FILM FEST

"Life and Debt"
a film by Stephanie Black
written by Jamaica Kincaid

Jamaica-land of sea, sand and sun. And a prime example of the complexities of
economic globalization on the world's developing countries. Using
conventional and non-conventional documentary techniques, this searing film
dissects the "mechanism of debt" that is destroying local agriculture and
industry in Third World countries while substituting sweat-shops and cheap
imports. With a voice-over narration written by Jamaica Kincaid, adapted
from her award-winning book "A Small Place," "Life and Debt" is an
unapologetic look at the "new world order," from the point of view of
Jamaican workers, farmers, government and policy officials who see the
reality of globalization from the ground up. With music by Mutabaruka, Ziggy
Marley and the Melody Makers, Sizzla, Bob Marley, Buju Banton, Yami Bolo,
among many
others.

WORLD PREMIERE AT:
Los Angeles Film Festival
April 26 5:00pm
at Laemmle Sunset 5 Theatre
8000 Sunset Blvd

One or two female dancers needed immediately for new
butoh dance theater work to premiere June 15-17 at
Highways Performance Space. Rehearsals begin early
May.

Written, directed and choreographed by acclaimed dance
theater artist Michael Sakamoto, the show is a dark,
visceral, absurd and comic ride through the films,
history and mind of the diabolical Doctor Chi. It is
a subversively pop examination of the line between
benevolence and destruction, control and chaos, beauty
and madness, intellect and irrationality. Female
dancers with: butoh or butoh-influenced training;
basic acting, improvisation and/or performance skills;
and a keen sense of humor are encouraged to inquire as
soon as possible at (310) 823-6389 or

Dear Friends,

In 1980, I formed OK Research to investigate of the role of technology
in our society using its own documents as source material.

In celebration of the twenty-first anniversary of OK Research -- which
was followed from 1983-1985 by OK Genetic Engineering; and from
1986 - 1990 by Bad Information -- a paper describing these
information art projects, including the OK GENETIC ENGINEERING COMPANY
CAR, HUMAN LUST INDUCING VIRUS, (HLIV) and the BAD INFORMATION BASES
is now available on the web.

Published in 1988 in LEONARDO, the paper contains some of my ideas about
the role of technology in our society, about information art, about
computer technology, about biotechnology. It details how as president of
Ok Research and of OK Genetic Engineering, I documented the activities
of technology and biotechnology corporations -- using information from
their own literature as iconography.

"OK Research, OK Genetic Engineering, Bad Information: Information Art
Describes Technology" is available at


OK Research, OK Genetic Engineering or Bad Information were also
documented in THE UN/NECESSARY IMAGE, Peter D'Agostino and Antonio
Muntadas, eds; (New York: Tanam, 1982) several issues of ART COM
MAGAZINE; and were shown in installations including Site in San
Francisco; (partially funded by the National Endowment for the Arts)
EXPERIMENTAL BOOKS, curated by Margaret Stainer at Works Gallery in San
Jose; and Monumental Women curated by Joe Babcock and Michael Bell at
SOMAR. Other venues for this work included the Berkeley Art Center;
(ART) WORD (ART) at Trojanowska Gallery; and the Smithsonian Institution
which included a copy of HLIV in its biotechnology collections.

Best,

Judy Malloy
