Professor Jack Butler
Professor Jack Butler
highlights the th
irty-seven year history of BC Space. BC Space: Mything in Action features artwork by forty-five artists who exhibited at the gallery over the past four decades and helped advance the reputation of BC Space as a venue for artists engaging in often controversial ideas. The exhibition will document the substantial role BC Space played in Southern California promoting photography as a fine art medium and ambitious projects such as the Laguna Canyon Project and Legacy Project documenting the transformation of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station into the Great Park of Orange County. 

The Art History Society of CSULA sponsored a special lecture for LA Artist & Asco founding member GRONK, held on Wednesday, February 17. GRONK is best known for his murals, including those at Estrada Courts in East Los Angeles. Gronk has been involved with theater since his teenage ASCO days, through more elaborate stage design for organizations such as the Los Angeles Opera and Santa Fe Opera. His scenic work has also been featured onstage with Latino Theater Company and East West Players. He has collaborated with composer Joseph Julian Gonzalez on "Tormenta Cantada," a visual/musical piece performed in 1995 with Kronos Quartet at University of California, Los Angeles.

The work of faculty member Carole Frances Lung (Department of Art) is currently being featured in the exhibit Gestures of Resistance at the Museum of Contemporary Craft, in Portland, Oregon. Lung's work examines Portland's garment culture and utilizes a bicycle-powered sewing machine.  Lung's piece "Manufacturing Moholy in Weimar" was recently featured in the article "Learning Styles," by Susan Tallman, in Art in America (January, 2010).

The Theatre Arts and Dance production of Velina Hasu-Houston's play Tea performed at the Region VIII Kennedy Center American College Theatre festival in St. George, Utah, February 9-13, 2010. 
  Original CSULA cast members Amanda Jonsson, Kristine Dickson, Beatrice Collins, Katherine Rose Young, and Hiroko Saeki performed at the festival.  The lighting design for Tea, designed by Theatre Arts and Dance student Amber Cox, presented her design at the KCACTF design exhibition and competition.
  Tea was directed by Professor Pam Dunne and was performed at the Intimate Theatre in October 2009.  The play was revived in the State Playhouse on February 5 and 6.

Celebrating Octavio Paz:
World Civilizations, Modernity, and Poetics


California State University, Los Angeles honors the life, work, and influence of poet and essayist Octavio Paz, with the 2010 Octavio Paz Conference, World Civilizations, Modernity, and Octavio Paz: A Plurality of Pasts and Futures.

Proposals are currently being accepted for the conference, to be held May 14-15 at the Golden Eagle Ballroom at Cal State L.A.  The deadline for a one-page abstract of conference papers is March 31, 2010. The submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed, and their acceptance or rejection will be communicated by e-mail on or before April 15. Please send your abstract as an electronic attachment to rcantu@calstatela.edu or mail to Dr. Roberto Cantú, Department of Chicano Studies, California State University, Los Angeles,
5151 State University Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90032.

Octavio Paz (México, 1914-1998) is one of the world's foremost poets and essayists of the 20th century. He lived in France, India, England, and the United States, and served Mexico for many years in the diplomatic corps. As the editor of literary journals, such as Plural and Vuelta, Octavio Paz was also a promoter of literate culture in Latin America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1990.

The poetry and essays of Octavio Paz were inspired by plural traditions, from Western Romanticism and the Avant-Garde to world civilizations, ranging from China, India, Japan and Mesoamerica, to modern France and the Anglophone world, among others. More than aesthetic moments or examination of ideas, the poetry and criticism of Octavio Paz were based on ethical and political convictions. His books on poetics (e.g.,The Bow and the Lyre), and literary history (Children of the Mire: Modern Poetry from Romanticism to the Avant-Garde), can be read as an extended revision of literary histories based on national languages and traditions, challenging writers to reflect on modernity and its integral dependence on other world cultures and ancient civilizations. No less significant was Octavio Paz's affirmation of human freedom, fraternity, and pluralism, and his critique of orthodoxies in politics and religion.

The 2010 Conference on Octavio Paz will be devoted to his poetry, poetics, and essays that examine world civilizations and modernity. The conference organizers invite papers on the following topics:

1. Octavio Paz and his writings on Mesoamerica: art, history, and religion.
2. Essays by Octavio Paz on art, poetry and culture of Colonial Mexico.
3. Octavio Paz and art criticism.
4. Studies on Octavio Paz's autobiographical writings: poetry and essays;
5. Octavio Paz's translations in Versiones y diversiones, including his theoretical reflections on translation.
6. Poetry and essays by Octavio Paz on China, India, or Japan.
7. Octavio Paz and collective poetry: from Renga (1969) to Hijos del aire (1979).
8. Octavio Paz and the Hermetic Tradition.
9. Octavio Paz's historical critique of sex, love and eroticism in Western civilization, from Plato and Petrarch to Sade and Bataille.
10. Octavio Paz, Mallarmé, and Breton: Poetry and Poetics.
11. Octavio Paz, the Avant-Garde and Structuralism: from Marcel Duchamp to Claude Lévi-Strauss.
12. Octavio Paz and the modern legacy of world religions and civilizations: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Ancient Mexico, among others.
13. Octavio Paz and theatre: La hija de Rappaccinni.
14. Octavio Paz's critical writings on colonialism, modernization, and totalitarianism in the 20th century.
15. Octavio Paz and the 1910 Mexican Revolution: Critical Essays.

Susana Castillo Makes Magic

English and Theatre Arts and Dance double-major
Susana Castillo and Professor Stephen Rothman (Director of BURN THIS).
Susana Castillo and Stephen Rothman
Susana Castillo has found her niche, doing what she calls "making magic happen." After taking a Dance class in 2005, because she missed the activity she had loved in her youth, Castillo found herself increasingly involved in the production aspect of Theatre Arts and Dance activities.  Now an Assistant Stage Manager for the Cal State L.A. production of Burn This, by Lanford Wilson, Castillo feels she has found her true calling. 

"I love organizing everything in order to make the show run smoothly.  I love calling the cues.  I love that when I say 'Go,' I can see the results.  It's like making magic, and I love it," she says. 

Castillo has worked some professional stage managing jobs off-campus, and intends to pursue the profession following her anticipated graduation in 2010.  She recently Stage Managed the Cal State L.A. production of Maritare: Shakespeare & Shaw, at the Intimate Theatre.

Stage Management is one of the less visible aspects of a theatrical production, but a critical one.  Stage managers, like Castillo, are responsible for organizing every aspect of a theatrical production and serve as a central hub of communication between the various disciplines and personnel working on a show.  It is not uncommon for a stage manager to be involved in every step of a production, beginning with auditions and concluding only after the run is over, the set has been cleared, and the bills have been paid. 
Theatre Arts & Dance performers in playful costumes
About her experiences with Cal State L.A. Theatre Arts and Dance productions, Castillo says she has found much personal and professional support from her faculty and production staff.  "I feel so lucky to be able to work with these people who I know are committed to me, and to all their students, above all else," she says, "and that commitment is contagious."

A one act opera based on an original text by Lanford Wilson.

Featuring CSULA student performers Steve Chavez, Joseph Garate, Jessica Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Christie Lawrence, Stephanie Lynn, Lynda Reynolds, Tara Riccelli, Irene Salazar, Nandani Sinha, Chad Viator, and Sarah Wheeler. Directed by Mark Lamanna, with Musical Direction by Ben Makino, the story captures the everyday happenings of rural America.

M. Butterfly, by David Henry Hwang
The State Playhouse at Cal State L.A.
The Pulitzer Prize-nominated and Tony Award-winning play M. BUTTERFLY, by David Henry Hwang, comes to the State Playhouse for one weekend only.  Featuring CSULA student-actors Taylor Edwards, Matt Franta, Derrick Gary, Anthony Li, Patrick McElree, Ramona Young, Whitney Tenney, Iskui Irene Boyadjian, Oliver Mack Calhoun, Beatrice Collins, Rishad R. Rai, and Salvador Yanez, and Directed by Cal State L.A.'s Communication Studies Professor David Olsen. The play centers around the characters of Rene Gallimard (McElree)--  a  civil servant of the French Embassy in China-- and  Song Liling (Li), a Chinese opera singer who is actually a man masquerading as a woman. Song also happens to be a spy for the Chinese government. The play explores the layers of disguise, fantasy, memory, and power unfolding through their affair, and the consequences of deceit and truth-telling.  Prized for David Henry Hwang's thought-provoking dialogue, M. BUTTERFLY remains both socially relevant and reflective of  current events.
