SUMMARY:Skywatchers presents Towards Opulence\, the Opera
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nSkywatchers’ upcoming presentation of Towards Opulence\, the Opera is a celebration of dance\, song\, and spoken word co-created with Tenderloin residents. This premiere performance weaves together the stories of belonging\, resilience\, and hope that all too often go untold. This new work features original music and choral direction by Melanie DeMore\, co-created with contributing artists Jennifer Johns\, Valerie Troutt\, and many more. \n“We have woven a piece about dreams that might become reality. While living this art\, some of us have moved into—and past—their dreams\,” said Skywatchers Lead Artist Joel Yates.  “We carry with us our families along with the blessing of our stories. It is our hope that this process of being human needs no great explanation\, but in this humble presentation we all might be reminded of the greatness of our process. Come find rest and see yourselves standing with us in Opulence.” \nTowards Opulence\, the Opera is part of an ongoing act of creative resistance and imaginative reclamation. Skywatchers believe that Tenderloin residents — and other marginalized people — are the truth tellers of our society\, akin to the mythical Cassandras. By breathing life into often overlooked or discredited truths\, we remember our interdependence and expose the roots of power and oppression. Towards Opulence invites us to conjure and claim our most audacious and glorious selves and step into a future where we truly belong to each other. \n“Our Skywatchers community has been dreaming\, talking\, and creating together for 13 years. Towards Opulence\, the Opera bears the fruit of that creative exchange\, placed into our unique embodiment of the operatic\,” said Skywatchers Lead Artist Anne Bluethenthal. “Skywatchers is a deeply relational art-life-making community. When you come to one of our shows\, you will not only be gifted a generous and extraordinary piece of performance\, you will also be entering a relationship with all of us. And we are all changed by that exchange.”  \nTowards Opulence\, the Opera is supported in part by Dance Mission Theater\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, SF Grants for the Arts\, SF Arts Commission\, California Arts Council\, Sam Mazza Foundation\, and the Zellerbach Family Foundation.  \nTickets are $20-$100 sliding scale at bit.ly/opulencetheopera \nThe performance on Friday\, May 31st will feature live audio description by Gravity Access Services and a haptic tour for blind and low vision audiences \nThe performance on Saturday\, June 1st will feature ASL Interpretation \nNOTAFLOF tickets available at the door\, as available[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Erotic Resisters and Ecosexuals Unite!
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]In celebration of the recent publication of Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa’s new book\, Erotic Resistance: The Struggle for the Soul of San Francisco\, Tenderloin Museum hosts the author for a double-header book talk with Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens\, fellow activist-artists and scholars of human sexuality\, who will discuss their latest latest\, Assuming the Ecosexual Position:The Earth as Lover. Program moderated by Dr. Joy Brooke Fairfield. \nA celebration of the erotic performance cultures that have shaped San Francisco\, Erotic Resistance: The Struggle for the Soul of San Francisco (UC Press\, 2024) explores a milieu that is indelibly intertwined with the Tenderloin’s history: the city’s bohemian past and its essential role in the development of American adult entertainment by highlighting the contributions of women of color\, queer women\, and trans women who were instrumental in the city’s labor history\, as well as its LGBT and sex workers’ rights movements. Otálvaro-Hormillosa utilizes visual and performance analysis\, historiography\, and ethnographic research (including participant observation as both performer and spectator)\, and interviews with legendary burlesquers and strippers to share a remarkable history and to frame an intersection of art\, activism\, performance\, and human sexuality. Otálvaro-Hormillosa explores how\, in the 1960s\, topless entertainment became legal in San Francisco for the first time in the US\, even while cross-dressing continued to be criminalized\, and how\, in the 1990s\, stripper-artist activists led the first successful class action lawsuits and efforts to unionize! She writes\, says Annie Sprinkle\, “courageously and eloquently from her perspective as a performance artist and scholar inspired by the tradition of sex-positive feminists since the 1960s who have resisted patriarchy by reclaiming and celebrating their sexuality.” \nOn Saturday April 27th\, Otálvaro-Hormillosa will present her work and new book at a TLM public program in conjunction with her friends and fellow artist-activists Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens\, who also work in the space where scholarship\, sexuality\, activism\, and the arts intersect and have in fact helped shape the field and discipline of human sexuality studies. In 2008\, Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens married the Earth\, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since\, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology\, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist\, queer\, sensual\, sexual\, posthuman\, materialist\, exuberant\, and steeped in humor. Their latest publication\, Assuming the Ecosexual Position: The Earth as Lover ((U. of Minnesota Press\, 2021)\, describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators\, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia\, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory. \nJoin us for these complementary book talks in a program moderated by professor at Rhodes College\, media-maker\, and Sprinkle/Stephens collaborator Dr. Joy Brooke Fairfield. This program is one of many happenings for “I Love Tenderloin Week\,” a celebration of the neighborhood and its people\, businesses\, and culture by a coalition of local individuals and organizations. \nFree or Suggested Donation ($10) | Register via Eventbrite \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Concerts at the Cadillac: James Washington
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nPianist James Washington performs a set of jazz standards and improvisations for a special Concert at the Cadillac\, presented in collaboration with the Tenderloin Museum as a Sounds of the Tenderloin live music program. \nSounds of the Tenderloin & the Concerts at the Cadillac series come together again to produce a performance by James Washington\, a talented pianist influenced by classical music and jazz who wields a quiet virtuosity with both standards and improvisations. \nA lifelong musician\, Washington started working at a young age as a ballet accompanist in New Jersey\, Boston\, New York\, and eventually San Francisco. All the while\, he was adjacent to the world of jazz\, which increasingly informed his musical practice. He developed a playing style with a rich harmonic vocabulary and complex structure that is clear and soulful. His phrasings and touch are limber\, as if learned from a dancer. Over the years\, Washington has been heard by thousands in San Francisco in clubs\, cafes\, churches\, and hospitals both as a solo performer and in combos. A longtime Tenderloin resident\, Washington will share a set of solo music on the grand piano in the heart of the neighborhood–the lobby of the historic Cadillac Hotel on Friday\, April 26th in concert with this year’s “I Love Tenderloin Week.” \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text] \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
