The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) presents
NATIVE IMMIGRANT
written and performed by 20 members
of LA?s diverse community
conceived and directed by Leilani Chan
Saturday, June 23 at 8 pm
At the Japan America Theatre





Los Angeles, CA - The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC)
presents NATIVE IMMIGRANT, a new, original theater production involving a 20
member, multi-racial cast, and conceived and directed by
critically-acclaimed, award-winning, performance artist and JACCC
Artist-in-Residence, Leilani Chan. This one-night-only performance runs
Saturday, June 23 at 8 pm at the Japan America Theater, 244 San Pedro St. in
Downtown LA (Little Tokyo). Tickets are: Reserved Seating $16; JACCC
Members $14; Groups $12. For ticket purchase call the Japan America Theatre
Box Office, 213-680-3700, Monday-Saturday, 12 noon -5 pm or Sunday after 12
noon on show days.

NATIVE IMMIGRANT is an interdisciplinary, inter-generational theater project
that breaks down cultural barriers, and builds upon the rich diversity of
Los Angeles?s multiethnic Hawai?i community and its intersections with other
communities of color. Through the use of theater, dance, poetry and
performance art, NATIVE IMMIGRANT explodes stereotypes, explores and exposes
the struggles of cultural identity, displacement, racism, survival and what
it means to be "native." This American-made performance will be infused with
the languages of the performers? including Spanish, Japanese, Laotian,
Mandarin, Pidgin-English and a multitude of other regional dialects.
Through this powerful production performers rewrite history and reveal a new
American experience in the shifting demographic of LA, where a racial
majority no longer exists.

NATIVE IMMIGRANT was conceived and developed by Leilani Chan by gathering
personal stories from her performance and storytelling workshops and from
members of the community, and workshopping them through a "collective
creation" theater technique that combines storytelling, improvisation, Boal
technique and guerilla theater. Through these workshops, artists from
multi-ethnic communities explored and developed theatrical expressions for
shared legacies of struggle and survival and the conflicts that arise
between immigrant and native people. The cast features comedians, theater
and film actors, performance artists, poets, dancers and emerging performers
from LA?s diverse communities including: Asian American, Native American,
Native Hawaiian, African American and Latino/a communities. Performance
Artists/Community Activists: Erin O?Brien, Pat Payne, Raquel Salinas.
Comedians: Maria Martinez & Dwayne Perkins. Performers: Kimiko Broder,
Letitia Chang, Akiyo Fujimura, Sachi Kikuchi, Marc Macalintal, Nol
Martin-Tungpalan, Michelle Sekine, Anne Selby, Alejandro Villasenor, Eve
Yeung. Choreographer: Malia Oliver Assistant Director: Ova Saopeng.

BACKGROUND ON THIS PRODUCTION AND CREATION PROCESS
NATIVE IMMIGRANT culminates Leilani Chan?s third year as California Arts
Council Artist-in-Residence at the JACCC. The performance is based on
stories shared by artists of color the community members from Los Angeles?s
diverse environs who have participated in Chan?s workshops and performances
conducted at the JACCC over the past three years. All artists and
presentations deal with cultural and political issues most urgent to their
communities. Issues that have been explored include: cultural genocide
(i.e. the effects tourism in Hawai?i), struggles with assimilation of both
immigrant and non-immigrant communities of color, multi-racial identity, the
psychological effects of domestic violence against women of color, language
barriers, sexual orientation and much more.

Since 1995 Leilani Chan, Artistic Director of TeAda Productions, has curated
and directed the Kalo Projects. Kalo Projects explore contemporary issues
facing the people of Hawai?i in Los Angeles to tell the untold stories of
their families and community. A great number of people from this community
are of multi-racial ancestry. Participants of Kalo Projects have included a
complex myriad of Chicano-Filipinos, Chinese-Hawaiians, Japanese-Vietnamese
Americans, and others. In 1999, Chan expanded her workshops to include
inter-cultural and multi-racial dialogue and expression.

raised in Honolulu, Hawai?i. She is an internationally known performance
artist and cultural worker and is founder and Artistic Director of TeAda

developed at New Works for a New WORLD play lab at the UMASS Amherst and
received commissions from the New England Foundation for the Arts and the
National Presenters Network (NPN) Creation Fund. Ms. Chan has also
performed with Ping Chong and Company and Guillermo Gomez Pe?a. Ms. Chan is

What's Happening @ Visual Communications June 2001

 

<< Hey folks, it's us here at Visual Communications, letting you know what
screening events we have in store for you this month. Did we tell you that
Visual Communications' annual summer fundraiser, CHILIVISIONS, returns for
its 14th year on Saturday, August 25 at the JACCC Plaza and Japan America
Theatre? Well now you know (and yes, the date was changed from August 18, so
note the new date!!!) Look out for a program line-up coming real soon!.

And also, watch for info on a new edition of PINOY VISIONS we will be
curating as part of the 10th Anniversary edition of the Festival of
Philippine Arts & Culture, Sept. 8 and 9, 2001 at San Pedro's scenic Point
Fermin. If all goes well, we'll announce the program line-up in early August.

Hey, we're working with a couple of community organizations to bring a
screening of Marilou Diaz-Abaya's epic JOSE RIZAL to the L.A. area on
Tuesday, June 19; see the factsheet below. Please print out and read
offline; or feel free to pass along to all your online friends. And if you
missed the film the first time it came to town, this is a great opportunity
to see an award-winning work by one of the Philippines' acknowledged masters
of cinema. Hope to see you there!

That's it for now. We apologize for any dupes, as we know some of you may be
on multiple lists servs. See ya all next time! >>


Visual Communications and KULTURA Philippine Folk Arts
in cooperation with the Alex Film Society
Presents a special screening of Marilou Diaz-Abaya's

JOSE RIZAL
Starring Cesar Montano, Jaime Fabregas, Joel Torre, Gardo Versoza, Gloria
Diaz, Pen Medina, Monique Wilson

Tuesday, June 19, 2001 Showtime 7:00 p.m.
Alex Theatre
216 North Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA 91203
(One block north of Broadway, near Glendale Galleria)

Tickets: $12.50 General; $7.50 Children and Seniors
Charge by Phone 800 233 3123; program info: 626 796 1690 or www.kultura.org
Proceeds to support the
Philippine Heritage Month/Glendale Free Community Events Series

Unquestionably the most anticipated film in the history of cinema in the
Philippines, JOSE RIZAL is the most successful Filipino film ever, as well as
the most expensive Filipino film ever made. The film swept seventeen out of
eighteen awards at the 1999 Metro Manila Film Festival. Most significantly
however, JOSE RIZAL has touched the hearts and minds of the Filipino people
and has renewed interest in this national hero as well as reviving a sense of
pride in those who see it. Jose Rizal (1861-1896), Philippine nationalist
and martyr, pride of the Malayan race, was a versatile genius. He was a poet
and patriot, novelist, painter, sculptor, linguist, physician, opthalmic
surgeon, educator, ethnologist, naturalist, economist, engineer and
theologian. He was an expert swordsman and a good shot. Having studied and
traveled extensively in Europe, America and Asia, he mastered 22 languages
including Latin, Spanish, German, English, French, Chinese, Japanese,

Blues Fest: Mavis Staples, Charlie Musselwhite...

 

Hi all,
Last year's inaugural L.A. Blues4U Festival was a lot of fun -- great music,
great food, and great people. This year's concert will take place on Sunday,
July 1, and ... well, for starters, the headliner is the incomparable Mavis
Staples! Bring your low-back beach chairs, relax and celebrate the July 4th
holiday a few days early with friends and family outdoors on the All-Purpose
Field at Cal State L.A. It's no problem to get to from anywhere in the L.A.
area, parking is easy, and if you like blues, you will have a terrific time!
(See below for full details.)
Best Regards,
Adele Field

L.A. BLUES4U FESTIVAL 2001
Los Angeles - On Sunday, July 1, blues fans will welcome the 2nd L.A.
BLUES4U FESTIVAL, headlining popular Gospel/R&B vocalist Mavis Staples, and
featuring Charlie Musselwhite, Coco Montoya, Floyd Dixon and Finis Tasby.
Produced by Bubba Radio and Music Productions and the Luckman Fine Arts
Complex, in association with the Southern California Blues Society, the
event will take place on the All Purpose Field at Cal State L.A. Gates open
at 9:30 a.m. and the show starts at 11:00 a.m.

About the Artists
Vocalist Mavis Staples, lead singer with Staple Singers family band, is a
1999 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Over the years the
Staples Singers have had many top 40 hits, including "I'll Take You There,"
"Respect Yourself," and "Reach Out, Take My Hand." Mavis' masterfully
phrased vocals have given her one of the most recognizable voices in the
world.

Blues harmonica virtuoso Charlie Musselwhite initially made his mark leading
electric bands in Chicago and San Francisco, and his reputation has now
spread far and wide. The late Big Joe Williams once referred to Musselwhite
as "one of the greatest living harp players of country blues."

Coco Montoya started his musical career as drummer and switched to guitar.
After stints with Albert Collins and John Mayall, he has established himself
as one of the most electrifying guitarists/vocalists on the scene today. His
1995 album, "Gotta Mind to Travel," received a Handy Award for Best New
Artist - an impressive debut for Montoya. Since then he has become a
crowd-pleasing favorite on the blues festival and club circuit.

Originally from Marshall, Texas, blues legend/songwriter Floyd Dixon is a
major stylist in the piano blues, R&B, jump blues, and the West Coast blues
style originated in Los Angeles' own Central Avenue. Dixon's songs such as
"Hey Bartender," "Call Operator 210," and "Tired Broke and Busted" have
become modern-day blues classics. "Hey Bartender" was performed in the first
Blues Brothers film.

Another Texan, Finis Tasby has had a long, successful career on the blues
circuit. At one time he played and sang backup for Z.Z. Hill, and his band
backed up Clarence Carter, Lowell Fulson and Freddy King on a Texas and
Oklahoma tour. Since moving to Los Angeles in 1973, Tasby has been rocking
the local area with his down home vocals and rollicking band.

Monticello at Grand Performances

Michael Alexander
 

NEW OPERA ABOUT SALLY HEMINGS AND THOMAS JEFFERSON
FOUR PERFORMANCES PRESENTED BY GRAND PERFORMANCES
AT CALIFORNIA PLAZA, LOS ANGELES
THURSDAY thru SUNDAY, JUNE 14 to 17, 8:00 PM
PART OF FREE CONCERT SERIES IN DOWNTOWN

I want to let you know about a special presentation Grand Performances will
be offering this week with the hope that you can join us for one of the
four performances of MONTICELLO. This new American opera will see its
first fully staged production, re-telling the Sally Hemings - Thomas
Jefferson story. A very accessible score and powerful lyrics should make
this program one that audiences will remember. Cast members include
international touring singers including two from the LA Opera resident
company.

The performances are taking place this Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, June 14 to 17 and all begin at 8:00 PM. We are using our intimate
Marina Pavilion so seating is more limited. I expect it will be less
crowded at the beginning and more crowded at the end of the run.

MONTICELLO was originally developed and presented in concert version by
L.A. Theatre Works, (Susan Albert Lowenberg, Producing Director) and
broadcast on KCRW.

I hope you can join us. If you have not received a schedule, let me know
and we'll mail you one or you can check out the season on our web site
<www.grandperformances.org>.

Best wishes,

Michael

The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) presents
NATIVE IMMIGRANT
written and performed by 20 members
of LA?s diverse community
conceived and directed by Leilani Chan
Saturday, June 23 at 8 pm
At the Japan America Theatre



Los Angeles, CA - The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC)
presents NATIVE IMMIGRANT, a new, original theater production involving a 20
member, multi-racial cast, and conceived and directed by
critically-acclaimed, award-winning, performance artist and JACCC
Artist-in-Residence, Leilani Chan. This one-night-only performance runs
Saturday, June 23 at 8 pm at the Japan America Theater, 244 San Pedro St. in
Downtown LA (Little Tokyo). Tickets are: Reserved Seating $16; JACCC
Members $14; Groups $12. For ticket purchase call the Japan America Theatre
Box Office, 213-680-3700, Monday-Saturday, 12 noon -5 pm or Sunday after 12
noon on show days.

NATIVE IMMIGRANT is an interdisciplinary, inter-generational theater project
that breaks down cultural barriers, and builds upon the rich diversity of
Los Angeles?s multiethnic Hawai?i community and its intersections with other
communities of color. Through the use of theater, dance, poetry and
performance art, NATIVE IMMIGRANT explodes stereotypes, explores and exposes
the struggles of cultural identity, displacement, racism, survival and what
it means to be "native." This American-made performance will be infused with
the languages of the performers? including Spanish, Japanese, Laotian,
Mandarin, Pidgin-English and a multitude of other regional dialects.
Through this powerful production performers rewrite history and reveal a new
American experience in the shifting demographic of LA, where a racial
majority no longer exists.

NATIVE IMMIGRANT was conceived and developed by Leilani Chan by gathering
personal stories from her performance and storytelling workshops and from
members of the community, and workshopping them through a "collective
creation" theater technique that combines storytelling, improvisation, Boal
technique and guerilla theater. Through these workshops, artists from
multi-ethnic communities explored and developed theatrical expressions for
shared legacies of struggle and survival and the conflicts that arise
between immigrant and native people. The cast features comedians, theater
and film actors, performance artists, poets, dancers and emerging performers
from LA?s diverse communities including: Asian American, Native American,
Native Hawaiian, African American and Latino/a communities. Performance
Artists/Community Activists: Erin O?Brien, Pat Payne, Raquel Salinas.
Comedians: Maria Martinez & Dwayne Perkins. Performers: Kimiko Broder,
Letitia Chang, Akiyo Fujimura, Sachi Kikuchi, Marc Macalintal, Nol
Martin-Tungpalan, Michelle Sekine, Anne Selby, Alejandro Villasenor, Eve
Yeung. Choreographer: Malia Oliver Assistant Director: Ova Saopeng.

BACKGROUND ON THIS PRODUCTION AND CREATION PROCESS
NATIVE IMMIGRANT culminates Leilani Chan?s third year as California Arts
Council Artist-in-Residence at the JACCC. The performance is based on
stories shared by artists of color the community members from Los Angeles?s
diverse environs who have participated in Chan?s workshops and performances
conducted at the JACCC over the past three years. All artists and
presentations deal with cultural and political issues most urgent to their
communities. Issues that have been explored include: cultural genocide
(i.e. the effects tourism in Hawai?i), struggles with assimilation of both
immigrant and non-immigrant communities of color, multi-racial identity, the
psychological effects of domestic violence against women of color, language
barriers, sexual orientation and much more.

Since 1995 Leilani Chan, Artistic Director of TeAda Productions, has curated
and directed the Kalo Projects. Kalo Projects explore contemporary issues
facing the people of Hawai?i in Los Angeles to tell the untold stories of
their families and community. A great number of people from this community
are of multi-racial ancestry. Participants of Kalo Projects have included a
complex myriad of Chicano-Filipinos, Chinese-Hawaiians, Japanese-Vietnamese
Americans, and others. In 1999, Chan expanded her workshops to include
inter-cultural and multi-racial dialogue and expression.

raised in Honolulu, Hawai?i. She is an internationally known performance
artist and cultural worker and is founder and Artistic Director of TeAda
Productions which is dedicated to performance for and about people of color.

developed at New Works for a New WORLD play lab at the UMASS Amherst and
received commissions from the New England Foundation for the Arts and the
National Presenters Network (NPN) Creation Fund. Ms. Chan has also
performed with Ping Chong and Company and Guillermo Gomez Pe?a. Ms. Chan is
