SUMMARY:Meet & Greet - Johnny Colón
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. presents: \nThe Johnny Colón School of Music @ Loisaida Inc. Center \n\n \n\nMusic theory lessons for the younger set by the boogaloo music legend Johnny Colon. Divided into three groups ages; 8-10\, 11-14 & 15-18. Bilingual friendly (Spanish\, English) \n\nLatin music legend and renown music teacher Johnny Colón revives the tradition of his famous uptown music school\, now downtown at the Loisaida Center. An dynamic hands-on weekly series of ongoing music classes focused on Latin rhythms and sounds directly under the instruction of vocalist\, multi-instrumenatlist\, arranger and musical director Johnny Colón. \nAbout Johnny Colón \nJohnny Colón\, was born in New York City to parents of Puerto Rican heritage. He is the director of the Johnny Colon Orchestra\, founder of the legendary East Harlem Music School and widely recognized as a major and legendary contributor to the popular boogaloo sound of the 1960s.  \nColón\, a versatile vocalist\, multi-instrumenatlist\, arranger and musical director\, became one of Latin music’s leading impresarios at the forefront of the new “Latin Boogaloo” sound when he formed the first Johnny Colon Orchestra in the mid 1960’s. He first found success in the world of salsa with his 1966 debut album”Boogaloo Blues” in 1966\, which became a classic\, selling over 3\,000\,000 copies worldwide\, and which continues to be an anthem for this period on Latin music history. Colón’s hit “Boogaloo Blues” came out during a time of transition in the Latin music scene of New York years before there was such a thing as “salsa\,” when the mambo craze was over and Puerto Ricans were coming of age in the city and the “Nuyorican” culture was emerging. As many of their peers went off to fight in Vietnam\, some of New York’s younger Puerto Ricans were losing interest in Latin music and beginning to identify more with R&B hits in English than with the music of their roots. Johnny recorded several other notable tunes over the years\, releasing five albums over the period 1967-72. \nIn 1968\, with public funding and much of his own money\, Colón founded the East Harlem Music School and offered free lessons to the community. His impact as a music instructor for more than three decades may be even greater than the effect of his recordings. Students like the singer Tito Nieves\, percussionists Jimmy Delgado and Robin Loeb\, bass player Rubén Rodríguez\, and singer Marc Anthony would all go on to become stars in salsa and contemporary Latin music. By the mid-1990s\, Colón was struggling to secure funding to maintain the school open. In 2004\, unable to keep a permanent space for his school\, Colón was given the opportunity to bring his brand of music education to New York City public schools. Today\, as well as teaching in schools around the city\, Colón has begun giving music classes to patients at drug treatment centers. He’s found a new location for his school at The Loisaida Inc. Center. \n– Meet and Greet on Saturday\, April 19 at Loisaida Inc. 710 East Ninth Street\, New York\, NY 10009 \nStay tuned! \n\n

SUMMARY:Feminism 101 (Group Discussion & Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. presents: \nIntroduction to Feminism Workshop (GROUP DISCUSSION) \n2 Sessions – 1pm-3pm\, Two Saturdays\, February 27 and March 5\, 2016\nFREE\, mixed gender\, transgenerational (ages 15+)\, bilingual friendly (Spanish\, English) \nModerated by: Las Marias Project \n\nRSVP:  \n\nDid anyone ever tell you to “act like a lady” or “be a man”? Has anyone ever expected you can’t do something simply because of your gender?  Or do you think women are often judged by their looks? \nFeminism is about defending equality for men and women. It helps us reflect on conflicts we might see in society and within ourselves\, as well as articulate motives and solutions. It’s about thinking things through\, considering community and being proactive. Learning about feminism will help you be more fair towards both women and men\, and respect others.  \nThe workshops are a non-academic introduction to the ideas of feminism. Over the course of these two sessions we will talk about some basic feminist ideas (like “objectification” or “patriarchy”) and figure out what these mean to us by using our collective intelligence: talking about our own experiences and those of the group. Other topics discussed will include: feminism (what is it exactly?)\, gender roles\, masculinity in crisis\, and feminism around the world. \nIn our workshops we will all learn about feminist thinking\, talk about our own experiences and think of ways in which we can advocate for gender justice. \nSnacks will be served.\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:The Poetics of Live Writing / Escritura-Acto
DESCRIPTION:Escritura Acto/The Poetics of Live Writing \nwith Casa Cruz de la Luna Theater Company \nFocusing on “escritura acto”-or the act of live computerized writing projected onstage- this workshop will develop  a consciousness of the performer as another medium (medio\, mediumnidad) interacting physically and energetically with other mediums (actors\, spectators\, objects\, apparatuses\, locations\, programs) in performance.  Exercises will explore the different mechanisms for generating tension through escritura acto\, such as:  disjunction (writing one content while speaking another); precognition (playing with expectations on how words and sentences are going to be completed): body kinetic responses to the writing as it is being produced; and the movement of texts through translation / dictation / reading /copying chains. The lab process will culminate in a presentation open to the public on the last day of class.\n \nRequisites: \n-18 years and older (we will also have a workshop for younger participants\, stay tuned) \n-Participants should be able to attend the 6 sessions since the work is cumulative and leading to a final performance. \n-Participants will be asked to memorize short texts as assignments. \n-Especially useful for theatre makers; performance\, visual and sound artists; writers; students focused on literature and/or the performing arts; and people interested in transmedia narratives \nFacilitator:  Aravind E. Adyanthaya \nThis workshop is free\, but space is limited! \n\nCompany Profile: \nEnglish: Casa Cruz de la Luna. Originally based in an old house in the historical district of the town of San Germán in the Southwest of Puerto Rico\, Casa Cruz de la Luna\, has as its mission the continuous study of the limits of the theatrical experience. Founded in 1998 by Aravind Enrique Adyanthaya\, the group has engaged in experimental stagings of classical works by Jorge Luis Borges\, Cervantes\, García Lorca\, Oscar Wilde and  Maeterlinck\, as well as the development of new plays by Puerto Rican authors such as José “Pepe” Liboy\, Mayra Santos Febres\, Carlos Canales\, Jaime Carrero\, Fátima Santana\, Lina Nieves Avilés and Manuel Ramos Otero. \nSince 2012\,  the company has begun to establish a second home-base in New York City\, collaborating in joint projects with  New York Theatre Workshop\, Theatre for the New City\, The Organization of Puerto Rican Artists (OP Art)\, LA TEA at the Clemente Soto Vélez Center\, Pregones/PRTT and now The Loisaida Inc.Center. \nWebsite: Click here. \nSpanish: CASA CRUZ DE LA LUNA se fundó en 1997 con la visión de proveer un ámbito de movimiento para las artes y las humanidades en el área suroeste de la Isla. En el 1998 empieza a funcionar desde su base en la Calle Luna\, Esquina de la Cruz en el distrito histórico del pueblo de San Germán. Su actividad se ha extendido desde actividades educativas y de presentación hasta la creación de una compañía profesional de teatro experimental. Desde el 1999\, la Casa ha crecido como foro donde discursos sobre arte\, sociedad y teoría se materializan a través de conferencias\, exposiciones\, talleres\, proyectos de investigación y puestas escénicas. La inauguración de la Casa como galería (1999)\, la organización de la Biblioteca Marcos A. Ramírez (2001-3) y la participación de la compañía de teatro en giras y proyectos internacionales (desde el 2000) han servido de puntales para nuestra labores presentes y aspiraciones futuras. \n\nFor more information contact (646) 757-0522\,\nemail info@loisaida.org\, or visit loisaida.org.\nFollow The Loisaida Inc.
