Dance At the Stone House November 18, 2009


stonehouse students 11/08





This engaging interactive site specific work will be presented again at the Sun Valley Youth Arts Center on Wednesday, 11/18/09. We will be using some of our grant money so you can have your students participate for FREE. "Dance at the Stone House" performed by Louise Reichlin & Dancers is a work that uses audience participation to design a dance piece based on the unusual architecture and art that is the Sun Valley Youth Arts Center in Sun Valley, CA. The event is both educational for the participants, and  FUN TO WATCH AND FREE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. For an article about the original performances see our  Education Notes 2008. Click here for a  video/slideshow. Please contact us right away if you have a 4th, 5th, or 6th grade you would like to bring. Did we mention it is FREE THIS YEAR? There are two events at 10:30 am and 12 noon and there is only room for 60 students at each. Email us or call 213-385-1171 to reserve.

We would like to return to your school, or do our programs there for the first time.

Although the Arts Funds are now gone, Arne Duncan, the Secretary of Education in Washington D.C. recently sent a letter about the importance of arts in education, and urged schools to use their title one funds for this. Contact us if you need more information on this, or Robin Lithgow, who is the new Administrative Coordinator of the Arts Education Branch. Her number is 213-241-0490.
 
New Photo Galleries at LA C&D website

alfred7am There are new photo galleries of Alfred Desio on  our brand new website. After 14 years, we finally have menus! And lots of new photo galleries and videos, not only of Alfred, but also many of both his and Louise Reichlin's works through the years. Look under the new History section for this. Another new video there and on YouTube is "Dream Scapes" the beautiful cirque live music production created by Steve Reid that Reichlin choreographed and the company toured with between 2000 and 2005. The photo below is from the original video shoot at the Japan America Theatre and two from "Flowers in the Snow" are Yuki Tomino and Ross Graves.

Southern CA Dance Directory - more than 525 listings
The Southern CA Dance Directory that Reichlin began in 1995 is alive and well with over 525 listings of professional dance companies and related organizations. This free service is accessed by thousands of people each month, and I've heard that dance jobs have often come about through the information! But....if the wrong email or phone number is there, it's up to you to contact us and it will be fixed, usually within 24 hours. 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.
Special Thanks
Special thanks to our government and corporate fundors that certainly deserve our attention. Without them (and many of you who donate to our company) we could not continue. All of these grants are matching grants, so we need your matches. Thank you again to our individual contributers and for in-kind donations. Please go to our web site and make a donation.  Consider buying a CA arts license plate. The funds go right into arts companies for their public services and arts in education. This E-letter closes with all the links you need to get to our Tri Art performances on September 13. If you are in LA we hope to see you there.
