Ongoing: "Employing His Telepathic Powers, Mr. Smallman Fights for Justice in the Injustice System" theater workshops at UCEPP space on the corner of Stanford and 6th Street: 804 East 6th Street, Los Angeles CA 90021. Every Tuesday from 7 till 9 PM and Saturdays from 2 till 5 PM.
SKID ROW HISTORY MUSEUM - SKID ROW WALK OF FAME - WALK THE TALK The project builds upon our work over the past
two years. During "UTOPIA / dystopia", we
created events that engaged community brain-power to identify initiatives
and people who had made positive contributions to
the neighborhood. We invited some of the most widely recognized social visionaries
from the neighborhood, and they were asked to speak about other people and
initiatives that they valued. The input led to the installation, “Skid Row
History Museum,” at The Box Gallery, which included more performance and public
conversation events, to solicit further community input.
With Community Redevelopment Agency, now LAPD is
creating a SKID ROW WALK OF FAME, permanent public artworks with images
of neighborhood residents whose visionary actions have contributed
to re-knitting the social fabric of Skid Row. WALK THE TALK is a peripatetic performance (with brass
band) that travels through Skid Row with performances at each Walk of Fame
artwork to celebrate the achievements of neighborhood visionaries, to
bring the history of the community to life and keep it alive. All then
people whose stories will be told in the artworks will be told in the
performance.
