Louise Reichlin & Dancers burst into the public eye in 1979 with their first performance at the Anson Ford Theatre when "Reichlin created a sensation with
"The Tennis Dances" (Dance News). Over the years she has continued to examine our society from its most primitive nature to the emergence of the information age with
"The E-mail Dances"
in 1996. Through multiple performances for the 23rd Olympiad, a summer series at the LA Zoo, touring the US and Mexico with
"Dreamscapes". Reichlin has consistently created "probing and provocative" works. (Dance Magazine)

Most recently we created a shorter version of "The Patchwork Girl of Oz" that we toured with and performed here in Los Angeles. As I write we are in Las Vegas where it is being presented by the Las Vegas and Clark County Library Department in two of their performing arts centers. We return to two other of their theaters in January 2018 with many of the dances with links in this newsletter. Our newest works are "A Jewish Child's Story" (see photos below), "Invasion" (begins the video at top of page and linked to "Invasion" photo above) and "Call From the Afterlife". Last year we did a complete revival of "The Tennis Dances" and added new material to "Tap Dance Widows Club" at the Bootleg Theater. We currently have a master contract with the LA Unified, and this spring had twelve residencies with about 200 workshops and 30 performances at schools in the Los Angeles area, both curriculum based and after school. The company, a performing unit of Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, was founded by Louise Reichlin.

The San Pedro
♥
Festival of the Arts is a free family event featuring dance, music & Visual Arts/Crafts Booths this year taking place in the Courtyard of Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. This will be its 11th year. The festival was again awarded a Department of Cultural Affairs, City of LA, Festival Grant, and last year, for the first time a 2016-17 Community Investment Grant from the Port of LA. Several summer/ fall free previews lead to the main event on Sept 17, 2017
Last year the Dance component included 14 professional and 7 pre-professional companies from all over the Southland. You can see more about previous festivals at www.triartSP.com. Videos from the last 2 festivals are are:

Interested in all dance forms performed by professional companies including traditional ballet and modern as well as ethnic dance forms, fusion and hip-hop. Most of the works were traditional in their presentation last year, but several companies did interactive pieces that involved audience members, or used the park area and site itself.
There is an honorarium for all professional companies selected.
Outdoor Marley covered stage approximately 32 x 28 feet. Each set 10-20 minutes. The programs open with 2-3 pre-professional groups, so we'd like to hear from schools also. The turn out on each day was several thousand over the days events. This year is more competitive as we are only running one full day. We anticipate good coverage for the event, both before and after. Early deadline is now through June 30, late deadline July 15.
Last year we received many more applications than there was room for, so if you were not selected before, please try again, perhaps with a different piece. There is always great diversity in the programming. To apply:
A- email what you would like to perform, including a digital press packet, contact info, and video link.
B- Before June 30- $25- link to paypal
C- After June 30- $30- link to paypal
D- Or mail a check to LA C&D, 351 S. Virgil Ave, Los Angeles CA 90020.
Professional companies- 10 to 20', pre-professional/community under 10'. If it is a new work, include projected music. If you were in it last season, please let us know if you are interested this year, and what
different work you might like to do.
This year, as last, the festival is produced by Louise Reichlin, Los Angeles Choreographers & Dances in conjunction with Jan Kain, People's Place San Pedro.

If you are not there and would like to be, please email the information in the format that is there. This is a special project that is a labor of love - no grants funds involved - so if you want to use it, please help keep it up to date. You can reach us at 213-385-1171 or [email protected] |
