Although largely known as a visual artist, Sanford Biggers uses sound and music as a central element in his work, which is currently on view at CAF. Biggers will present a unique mash-up of his own music performance on the piano, featuring Los Angeles based DJ Jahi Sundance, live video mixing, and a local gamelan choir ensemble from Gamelan Sinar Surya. Drawing from ancient African and Buddhist musical traditions, stream of consciousness, hip hop culture, and projected images, he will offer a collective audience interaction relating back to the Buddhist concept of interconnectedness (in that many people have touched the work and with every new touch, each person becomes connected to one another in a real, but subtle way). Copresented by Gamelan Sinar Surya and The Brotherhood of Santa Barbara.

The Red Barn Community Music Series will present the high-energy old-time bluegrass music of Black Crown Stringband on Saturday April 3 at the Red Barn at South Bay Community Park in Los Osos.
Black Crown Stringband is the latest supergroup to emerge from the fertile SF Bay-Area bluegrass and old-timey scene. Comprised of founding members of the Earl Brothers and the Mercury Dimes, the band first appeared at the 2008 Berkeley Old-Time Convention Stringband Contest where their hard-driving sound earned them first prize. Black Crown combine the best elements of old-time stringband music and Bill Monroe's "high lonesome" sound to create a unique fusion that is at once old-school and brand new.
The Red Barn Community Music Series is a monthly concert series showcasing local, regional, and national musicians performing old time, bluegrass, swing, Celtic, blues, and other forms of acoustic roots music. The Red Barn is located at 2180 Palisades Ave in Los Osos. The show begins at 7:00 PM with pot luck supper and pot luck band starting at 6:00 PM. No tickets are required but suggested donation is $10 at the door. BYOB and a dish to share for the pot luck supper.

KASEY ANDERSON -SINGER/SONGWRITER - AMERICANA
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Peter Steynberg 8055470278 sgallery@charter.net
|
| |
|
“Based out of Washington, Kasey Anderson is one of these overlooked artists within the resilient genre that could easily be defined as quality. While his structural ambitiousness and will not earn him a spot in an overplayed Chevy Silverado commercial, he should take it in stride. His recognition comes more in the form of his solid arrangements and cohesive melodic delivery, not cheesy choruses or generic lyrical emphasis. With such prevalent talents, he will be sure to earn that check elsewhere in a more respectable way. Those familiar to Anderson should remember his second album, Dead Roses, well. Released in 2004, he propelled Anderson to a state of critical acclaim, earning a spot on several year-end lists that heralded his comparisons to Steve Earle, John Mellencamp (his older material), and Bruce Springsteen. Such comparisons were suitable too, as Anderson has the ability to relay a heartbreaking story while utilizing the involvement of expertly crafted instrumentation. It is a lost art that, when you find an artist with its ability, should be cherished. Dead Roses was ultimately a romantic album, detailing heartbreak and fragile emotions over the delicate delivery of acoustics, keys, and strings. Often found transitioning between songs of story-like and poetic detail, Anderson’s most prominent strength comes in the form of his genuine lyrical involvement.

“Day-To-Day Buddhism”
With Dharma Teacher Khedrup Zangmo
This meditation practice and teaching will focus on bringing our practice into our lives and world. Buddhism offers many methods to relieve suffering in our own lives and in the lives of others. Nobody wants to suffer and everyone wants to be happy. Learning to meditate with trained guidance can ease our suffering and truly transform our lives. Learning to take these experiences out in the world truly transforms us and the world we live in. We will discuss taking our sitting and other practices into our daily lives and finding the space in our busy lives for practice.
Khedrub Zangmo has been studying and practicing Buddhism for over 25 years. Under the guidance of the highly respected meditation master Lama Gendun Rinpoche, she took monastic vows and completed two consecutive three-year retreats at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling in central France . After completing her second retreat in 1997, Khedrub lived in the women’s monastery established by Gendun Rinpoche and began teaching Buddhism in centers, schools and organizations in Europe and in the USA . At the request of Shamar Rinpoche, Khedrub moved back to the US in 2000. Khedrub is currently a resident teacher of the Pasadena Bodhi Path Center.

Werner Herzog
Wednesday, April 7, 2010 @ 8:00 PM, Campbell Hall
General public $14.00
UCSB Students $8.00
Includes facility fee.
An Evening with Werner Herzog
in Conversation with Pico Iyer.
“An iconoclastic master.” New York Post.
“It’s as much fun to anticipate what he’s (Herzog) going to say as it is to appreciate the snowy landscapes, belching volcanoes and mustachioed seals before his lens.” The Washington Post.
One of the most distinctive filmmakers of our time, Werner Herzog has been called the “romantic visionary” of the New German Cinema movement. His edgy, larger-than-life films fuse the epic with the intimate, redefining the scale and scope of filmmaking to include more than 60 works shot on every continent. His early masterpieces Aguirre, The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo (both starring Klaus Kinski) gained Herzog international attention. While his more recent successes Grizzly Man and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans have cemented his virtuoso status and gained him myriad awards and an Oscar nomination. Herzog will appear in conversation with acclaimed author and essayist, Pico Iyer.

Presented by Pacific Repertory Opera.
One of the most popular and romantic operas ever composed. "La bohème" is Puccini's passionate, soulful story of two poor, young bohemians who find a love so intense that it's unbearable to be apart, yet impossible to stay together. Achingly beautiful music flows through this intensely emotional performance. Fully staged with youth and adult choruses and full orchestra, this timeless classic was the inspiration for the hit Broadway musical "Rent." (Performed in Italian with English supertitles.)

ROBERT EARL LONGELY - FLAMENCO, JAZZ, CLASSICAL GUITARIST
|
|

|
Contact: Peter Steynberg 8055470278 sgallery@charter.net
|
| |
|
“Robert Earl Longley, also known as Robby, is a world-class level guitarist and symphonic composer from New Orleans whose original compositions are available on nine CDs. "Diaspora" (the ninth CD) is the newest release for 2007. In addition, Robert composed two powerful soundtracks for films that screened at the Sundance Film Festival. In his concert material, Robert’s jaw-dropping fingerstyle techniques on the flamenco guitar always deliver fresh, sophisticated Third Stream-like jazzy melodies within classically inspired movements rather than producing traditional flamenco music as one would expect. Besides using a wide variety of musical instruments, the guitar is present in all of Roberts compositions. Perhaps his love of the acoustic guitar is a throwback from his Andalusian ancestry on his mothers side. To be sure, It’s almost as if he is not playing, but instead whatever he is feeling is coming out of the guitar, as one audience member put it. Robert confirms this in reply.”

Visitors are invited to “Morro Bay BEAUTIFUL’S Citywide Yard Sale Weekend” April 10 and 11. Treasure and bargain hunters alike will enjoy this economical event that has no admission fee and runs back to back with the Morro Bay Community Farmers’ Market with free entertainment nearby from 2:30 to 6 pm on Saturday. A free “Treasure Map” guides event participants across the city to explore more than 100 yard sales and merchant locations such as antique shops, thrift stores, and food and entertainment venues.
The map includes fund-raiser sales by non-profit groups ranging from the Morro Bay High School Track and Field Program, to the Morro Bay 4th, Inc, increasing their support for fireworks this summer with a BBQ Oyster Feast on Sunday. Look for the map this year to be distributed across San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County in this Thursday's April 8 issue of New Times. The same day maps can be picked up at the event headquarters at Brenda Sue’s Consignment, 248 Morro Bay Blvd.
“The event and festive treasure map provides kids a way to learn navigation and bargaining skills,” said Ann Reisner, president of Morro Bay BEAUTIFUL. “It also has useful information for residents and sellers about our local Spring Cleanup Week with free hauling, various recycling programs, and encourages them to donate unsold items to the non-profit group or the thrift store of their choice. This helps lessen the burden on our landfills.”
Morro Bay BEAUTIFUL’S Citywide Yard Sale Weekend is supported by the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, Trudy Sidener of Coldwell Banker Liberty Realty, New Times, KSBY 6, KVEC Newsradio 920 AM and Cat Country 96.1 FM. For details contact the chamber at (805) 772-4467 or visit http://www.morrobay.org .

Mary Gray-Reeves, bishop of the Diocese of El Camino Real. The ceremony, open to the public, will begin with a procession at 10:30 a.m. The bishop, carrying the crook that is the symbol of her office, will mark the church threshold with a sign of the cross. The rite will be accompanied by special prayers and music. "This will mark a major step in our life as an inclusive faith community," said the Rev. Dr. Caroline J.A. Hall, priest-in-charge. "St. Benedict's has been in Los Osos for more than 20 years and finally we have a permanent place to meet, to worship and to share with the community. It has required a huge investment of time, talent and creativity from many people to make this day a reality." St. Benedict's, an inclusive, welcoming faith community, is at 2220 Snowy Egret Lane.

What's all the buzz about native bees?
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Julie 541-1400 jpowell@slobg.org
|
| |
|
When we think about bees, we often think about our imported, European honeybees. But California is home to over 1500 species of native bees. From big, black bumble bees, to shiny green Osmia, to bees so small they are seldom noticed, all are important pollinators of our crops and our flowers. And, sadly, their numbers are declining due to habitat destruction and urban development.
California's native bees are different from honeybees. They don't live in hives and don't produce honey but they are star pollinators – especially for our native plants. Marissa Ponder of UC Berkeley will familiarize us with California's native bees and their habits, and she will tell us how to make our gardens friendly to native pollinators.
Marissa Ponder graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a B.S. in Conservation and Resource Studies. She has been working at the UC Berkeley College of Natural Resources' Urban Bee Laboratory for the past two years. She wrote her honors thesis on one of her favorite subjects; 'Urban Bee Gardens'.

Central Coast Shakespeare Festival Announces
Auditions for 2010 Season
Twelfth Night and The Gamester.
The Central Coast Shakespeare Festival invites performers, designers and technicians to join us for a summer of classical theatre under the stars July 9th through August 14th.
For 2010 we bring you an audience favorite, Twelfth Night, one of Shakespeare’s most produced comedies and for good reason. Unrestrained passions and ribald revelry reign! Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a topsy-turvy triple love story featuring separated twins, mistaken identities, gender crossing disguises, besotted relatives, and wise cracking fools. Once our shipwrecked heroine Viola washes ashore, the world seems to go mad in delightful ways.
In repertory with Twelfth Night we bring you The Gamester by Freyda Thomas, a sparkling comical romp loosely based on a 1696 work by Jean-Francois Regnard. The story follows the adventures of young man torn between his beautiful fiancée and his mistress – The Gambling and Gaming Halls of turn of the century Paris. The Chicago Tribune calls The Gamester, “an intriguing hybrid of old and new…with bristling, insightful, richly comic and deliciously rhymed lines…mixing the verbal musicality of an earlier theatrical style with the sensibility of modern life…The Gamester charms on every level."
Actors should prepare a classical monologue (from any play) of two minutes or less. Those interested in working as production crew will be scheduled for an interview.
To make an audition appointment, call the Shakespeare Festival hotline at (805) 546-4224 or visit centralcoastshakespeare.org. Walk-in auditions will be seen as time permits.
DETAILS: Central Coast Shakespeare Festival Auditions. Saturday, April 10th 1-5 PM and Sunday April 11th 2-9 PM at Ludwig Community Center, 864 Santa Rosa Street in San Luis Obispo. Call 805-546-4224 or visit centralcoastshakespeare.org to make an appointment.

“Understanding the Relationship between Thoughts, Emotions and True Happiness in Body and Mind”
With Dharma Teacher Dawa Tarchin Phillips
How does your mind work and manifest thoughts, feelings and your perceptions? What is the underlying reality of your being? Every moment of every day you are involved in, and dealing with the manifestations of your body and the experiences and expressions of your mind. They make up who you are and what you identify with most intimately. As you go through life, you experience manifold different states of physical and mental challenges in the search of well-being.
During this teaching series we will explore the Buddha’s advice on how to correctly view the reality of ones body and the productions of ones mind when our aim is to reduce suffering. Teachings based on the 5 Skandhas and 51 Mental Events.
Buddhist Dharma Teacher Dawa Tarchin Phillips completed two 3-year meditation retreats as a student of the Mahamudra meditation master Gendun Rinpoche at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling Monastery in France where he received the transmission of the Karma Kagyu Lineage. Prior to focusing on meditative practices, Dawa pursued advanced studies in the arts, a career in the entertainment industry and worked with severely ill cancer and cardiac patients. Today, he teaches throughout Europe and the US, offering guidance to those on the spiritual path and is the resident teacher of Bodhi Path Center Santa Barbara.

On April 11, 2010, the San Luis Obispo Vocal Arts Ensemble will take you on a treasure hunt. The goal: explore some of the County’s most charming, but less well-known B&Bs and small inns.
Seven establishments will open their doors for this fundraiser for the Vocal Arts Ensemble—from San Luis Obispo to Arroyo Grande, with stops in Avila Beach. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore charming guest rooms and grounds and most of the lodging owners will serve light refreshments. In addition many of the inns will offer the chance to win a free night’s stay.
Kris Springer, Vice-Chair of the Board and Coordinator of the fundraising efforts says, “Vocal Arts has presented home tours in the past, but this year we wanted to offer something different. We thought this was a great way to allow residents to take a look at some lovely places where they don’t usually go—and to give the innkeepers a chance to show off their hidden treasures.” Kris adds this suggestion; “The next time you need a romantic getaway without having to travel, or would like to recommend a place for an out-of-towner to stay in the area, you’ll have inside knowledge of some very special places.”
The participating sites include Garden Street Inn and Bridge Creek Inn in San Luis Obispo, La Fonda Inn, Joe Mamas and Avila Village Inn in Avila Beach; and Casitas of Arroyo Grande and Abella Gardens in Arroyo Grande. The Avila Bay club, a neighbor of the Avila Village Inn, will also offer refreshments and the chance to win a free membership.
The cost of the tour is $25, and tickets are available online at http://www.vocalarts.org or by phone at 805.541.6797. They will also be available at each site on the tour. A map will be provided with the tickets, and the public is invited to create their own routes and enjoy the afternoon of exploration between 1:00 and 5:00 PM.
The Vocal Arts Ensemble, a non-profit organization, was established in 1977 and consists of volunteer adult singers performing under the directorship of Gary Lamprecht. Funds from this event will allow Vocal Arts to continue to bring beautiful music to the community.

Food donation barrels will be set up at each library branch, and all community members are encouraged to donate items.

Jesse Powell is a graduate student at Scripps and Lara Dickens is a high school science teacher and alumna of Cal Poly (Engineering). They will combine hands-on exploration with brief presentations that will explain more about the Garbage Patch, the Pacific Ocean Gyre, their expeditions, and how they sampled for plastics and associated scientific data.

The Clark Center for the Performing Arts presents the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra on Friday, April 16, 2010 at 7pm. For decades, the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra has continued to bring joy to both the young and the “young at heart” through the sounds of history and pure American jazz music. With hits like “Amapola,” “Green Eyes,” “Tangerine,” “I Remember You” and “So Rare,” the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra jumped to the top of the charts making them one of the biggest swing bands of the 1930s and 1940s. The band is still in great demand all over the world, due to the direction of trombonist Bill Tole and the vocals of singer Nancy Knorr, formerly of the Pied Pipers. The energy of the big band, combined with Bill’s smooth trombone and Nancy’s elegant vocal style will surely transport you back to the elegance and pizzazz of the 1940s. Come early for a pre-show reception with free appetizers sponsored by Chili’s Restaurant. For tickets, call 805-489-9444 or visit www.clarkcenter.org.

“The White Buffalo is quite possibly a legend in the making. A throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena. With only an EP out, but literally hundreds of songs written and more coming all the time, the future is exciting for a guy who has that much raw talent.” http://www.myspace.com/thewhitebuffalo http://numbskullshows.com/shows/

Community Environmental Council to honor
Academy Award Winning Director James Cameron at
40th Anniversary Santa Barbara Earth Day.
Director of “Avatar” and to accept CEC’s Environmental Hero Award on Sunday, April 18th at 2:00 PM.
Santa Barbara Earth Day Presenter and Host Community Environmental Council is proud to honor Academy Award Winning Director James Cameron for his eco-inspired film: AVATAR.
This global blockbuster film entertains while presenting a cautionary tale with implications for our own planet, a message that has never been more timely. Cameron’s depiction of the planet Pandora and the corruption that threatens to destroy it is an amazing movie-going experience that also advocates for environmental responsibility.
In the past, CEC has honored such eco-pioneers as Jackson Browne, Hale Milgrim (former CEO of Capitol Records), Jim Dehlsen (former CEO of Clipper Windpower), Kenny Loggins, and Elon Musk (founding CEO of Tesla Motors). The ceremony will take place on the main stage.
The Community Environmental Council is hosting the 40th anniversary of Earth Day – an event that has deep, historic roots in Santa Barbara. The event will be held April 17-18, 2010 in Alameda Park; approximately 20,000 people are expected to attend through the course of the weekend.

Come to Sustenance in the Railroad District on Sunday, April 18 at 2:00 to see a trio of powerhouse performers known as the Barflyz. The group includes: Kenny Lee Lewis, the legendary singer, songwriter, guitarist of the Steve Miller Band. Lewis is credited as one of the songwriters who gave Steve Miller "personality,"Kenny Lee chose to stay in the background by composing for other artists. His "Cool Magic" on the Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra album reached Billboard's Hot 100 chart and his co-produced "Shangri-La" on Italian X-Rays was described as "the LP's standout track. More recently, Kenny Lee co-produced "Why Can't I Fall in Love" a college cult favorite off the Pump Up the Volume soundtrack album. His "Midnight Train" was picked as a single on The Steve Miller Band's 1993 Wide River album. Numerous songwriting credits appear on such labels as A&M, Capitol, Elektra and more. He will perform with band mate, Danny Pelfrey, who in addition to playing with Steve Miller Band, performed and recorded with Carole King, Diana Ross, Tower of Power, Bobby Caldwell, Eric Clapton, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross and many others. Rounding out the trio is Ken Hustad on bass. Hustad has played with Inga Swearingen, Marvin Hamlish, and Marc O'Connor. If the stars line up right, (and we mean that literally!) Kenny Lee may also talk his wife, Diane Steinberg-Lewis into playing keyboards and singing. She has had three records released since 1974 and was "Lucy" in the movie "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band." Her vocal talents were featured on the soundtrack album which went double Platinum. For more information http://sustenance-studio.com

An intimate afternoon of chamber music is planned for Central Coast music lovers on Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 3 pm at Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church, 1701 Fredericks St. San Luis Obispo. Chamber Music is meant to be performed by smaller ensembles and is best enjoyed in more intimate venues so that the audience and musicians can participate in more of a “conversation” than a performance. This SLO Symphony Chamber Player performance will feature violinist Pam Dassenko, cellist Nancy Nagano and Music Director Michael Nowak playing the viola. Guest artists Roger Wilkie on violin and pianist W. Terrence Spiller will also join the ensemble. The musical program will feature Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet No. 32 in C major, Op. 33, No. 3 – “The Bird”, Maurice Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Piano and Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor. Detailed information about the musical program and the guest artists as well as video and music clips are available on-line at www.slosymphony.com.

Baaba Maal
Sunday, April 18, 2010 @ 7:00 PM, Campbell Hall
“Baaba Maal opened his mouth and beautiful pearls and lilies and songbirds came flying out. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.” – Michael Stipe, R.E.M
A living legend in his native Senegal, charismatic singer Baaba Maal is known as “The Nightingale” for the stunning power and purity of his voice, and over the years, he has honed a unique sound fusing traditional African music with elements of reggae, pop, R&B, soul, jazz, and blues. Maal’s dazzling live performances – featuring a panoply of singers, dancers, and drummers – are “spectacular…setting alight a blaze of polyrhythms that barely lets up for the next two hours” (The Independent, London).

HEATHER MANDEL: EVE, GOD & THE QUANTUM AGE
|

|
Contact: Peter Steynberg 8055470278 sgallery@charter.net

| |
|
What if the story of Eve is wrong . . . and in a quantum age, does it matter? With only the well-known, literal interpretation of the story of the Garden of Eden, and no matter how exquisitely Eve has been depicted in painting or sculpture over time, she still evokes guilt, remorse or shame – the same emotions with which many women continue to struggle today in their courageous journey to empowerment, healing and hope. Heather Mendel will share her kabbalistic interpretation of the mythic Eve who courageously reaches for the forbidden fruit once more. This retelling of the ancient tale, she believes, carries a positive vision for the future of the human family.
Mystic, artist, writer and facilitator, South African born Heather Mendel teaches ongoing classes for men and women on kabbalah and women’s spirituality. She writes a regular column, Spirituality Matters for The Women’s Press of San Luis Obispo, California where she and her husband, Rabbi Norman Mendel reside. Her 2009 book, Dancing In The Footsteps of Eve: retrieving the healing gift of the Sacred feminine for the human family through myth and mysticism and her previous book, Towards Freedom: a feminist haggadah for men and women are available at local bookstores, at amazon.com and on her website at http://www.dancinginthefootstepsofeve.com.

Cal Poly’s College of Liberal Arts, Women’s and Gender Studies Department and Religious Studies Program present groundbreaking Christian feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether on Thursday, Apr. 22 at 6:30 p.m. in Philips Hall in the Performing Arts Center.
Ruether’s talk, “Should Women Want Women Priests or Woman Church?” expands the question of whether or not women should be ordained as priests in the Catholic Church to explore what impact women priests might have, and whether or not women’s ordination would actually lead to greater gender equality within the Church.
Ruether is the author of numerous books and over one hundred articles on Christianity. Her talk is part of a speaker series on women’s ordination in Catholicism presented by the Women’s & Gender Studies Department and the Religious Studies Program.
This event is free and open to the public.

Colleen Gnos is unveiling her latest mural, "Cold Water Kelp Forest" which is inspired by a deep sea diver's point of view, being a realistic depiction of our local kelp forests. It measures over 17 feet high, so you feel like you're 17 feet deep underwater. There will be aquarium tours, with live animal touch tanks for kids, Earth Day activities, recycling games, and individual works of art on display by mural artist, Colleen Gnos. This unveiling and Open House will be at 4350 Constellation Rd in Lompoc, CA, on Thursday, April 22 from 7-9 pm.
This is an exciting event since it will be educational for children, giving them ideas on how to live "green." The mural will be used a teaching tool, and the teachers have developed lesson plans around it, such as various food chains, the delicate balance of life within the kelp forest, and the need to preserve our ocean life. The mural supports an interactive weather station set up NOAA. All artwork on display is ocean themed, as Colleen Gnos is a surfer, and all of her works are inspired by the ocean.

Jennifer and Jonathan Adams create a “new acoustic” sound with their pairing of cello, six-string electric cello, Spanish/classical guitar, and steel string guitar. These award winning musicians delve into music from Pink Floyd and Rush to Vivaldi, House of the Rising Sun, and Bach, as well as their own originals that have been featured everywhere from NPR to the Travel Channel. Using a wide range of effects, Jennifer Adams' blazing electric cello and Jonathan Adams' guitar wizardry combine to create a sound that is truly remarkable. Montana Skies has an extensive tour schedule which has taken them all across the US, Canada and to Asia.”

Yuja Wang, piano
Friday, April 23, 2010 @ 7:30 PM, Hahn Hall
Back by Popular Demand!
“Wang combines a practically superhuman keyboard technique with artistic eloquence that is second to none.” -San Francisco Chronicle
Dubbed “the next Chinese sensation…a technical wonder” by the Los Angeles Times, 22 year-old Yuja Wang has taken the world of classical piano by storm with playing that combines the spontaneity and fearless imagination of youth with the discipline and precision of a mature artist. Wang is regularly lauded for her authority over the most complex technical demands of the repertoire and the depth of her musical insight, as well as her fresh interpretations and graceful, charismatic stage presence. The Washington Post called her 2008 Kennedy Center recital debut “jaw-dropping,” and in 2009, Wang released her debut album Sonatas and Etudes to critical acclaim.

The Blue Economy, 10 Years, 100 Innovations, 100 Million Jobs with Gunter Pauli

Join the Santa Barbara City College Center for Sustainability for a rare chance to spend time with one of the most innovative thinkers of our time. Author of the newly published book The Blue Economy, 10 Years, 100 Innovations, 100 Million Jobs Gunter Pauli challenges us to give up doomsday thinking...
Gunter Pauli suggests by emulating nature we can evolve from an economy based on scarcity to an economy based on abundance---the cascading, nutrient rich, Blue Economy. Founder of Zero Emissions Research Initiatives (ZERI) Global Network, Gunter Pauli pioneered the concept of waste being seen as a resource that with creative thinking, can be used to create multiple enterprises from singular ones, with benefits for the economy and the environment. Pauli is fond of saying that returns on investment from these kinds of business models far exceed those of companies like Microsoft.
The Blue Economy began as a project to find one hundred of the best nature-inspired technologies that could effect the economies of the world, while sustainably providing basic human needs. Starting with over 2000 peer review articles, Dr. Pauli found 340 innovations that could be bundled into systems that function the way ecosystems do, that were then reviewed by a team of scientists, corporate strategists, expert financiers, and public policy makers. For the 100 Innovations described, The Blue Economy estimates an employment potential of 100 million jobs. The plausibility of this estimate is enhanced by the fact that there are today more people employed in renewable energies than in the oil and gas industries combined.
The event takes place on Friday, April 23, 7:30-9:30pm at the Fe Bland Forum auditorium, SBCC West Campus, 721 Cliff Drive.
Admission $15.

Taking Leave

Eliot finds his intellectual powers giving way to the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease. Shadows of his favorite play, King Lear, are evoked as his three daughters argue over health care options and old family history. As in Shakespeare’s play, it is the young Cordelia who assumes responsibility for her father and leaves us with the bittersweet realization that, while all will not be well, Eliot’s taking leave will be a gentle one. Eliot’s journey is often humorous, but our hearts are moved as we witness human consciousness being evicted from the soul. Nagle Jackson’s play is a funny, heartwarming, powerful night of theatre.
“A celebration of life! Wonderful!”
-Anchorage Daily news.
“A fantastic dramatic comedy! The play provokes a huge amount of compassionate laughter…we walked out of the theatre with our spirits lifted and hearts full…”

Self-Editing with Catheine Ryan Hyde

Catherine Ryan Hyde’s
Weekend Intensive on Self-Editing.
In today’s tough market, self-editing has never been more important.
April 24th & 25th, 2010.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
(one hour break for lunch both days)
in Cambria.
Participants are asked to bring the first 30 pages of a work in progress, and we’ll roll up our sleeves.
We’ll begin with the broader aspects of editing. Does it begin cleanly, and in the right place? Does every scene characterize and contribute to the overall momentum? Does it bog down in backstory? Then we’ll move on to other important considerations such as dialogue and its attributions. We’ll develop an eye for trimming unnecessary passages, and for honing sentences until every word carries the appropriate weight. Finally we’ll work on copyediting grammar and punctuation, and we’ll tackle the always difficult (especially for our own work) art of proofreading.
$175
Note: At 14 hours of instruction, this breaks down to $12.50 an hour. I understand that money is tight for everyone (myself included) but I believe this workshop will be cost-effective, because it can replace the need to hire an editor for your work. That said, if you literally can’t afford the fee, and money is the only thing stopping you from attending, please do let me know.
Pay at the end of the weekend, and if at any time you feel you’re not getting your money’s worth, feel free to walk away and owe nothing.
For more information, please contact me by email at:
ryanhyde@cryanhyde.com.
Also, if you’re interested but can’t make the date, please let me know, as I’m considering holding another weekend intensive on the same subject in May.

Sanford Biggers: Moon Medicine is a major monographic exhibition featuring one of the most significant African American artists of this generation. Multi-disciplinary in scope, the exhibition comprises new and old sculpture, video, installation, a newly commissioned public performance, and an exhibition catalog. Biggers’ work is renowned for its meditative rigor and improvisatory edge, which is inspired by the hybridity and mixtures of diverse cultures and by his experiences living throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. The artist is interested in the philosophical and worship practices of Buddhism; Indo-European religious practices of Voodoo, Santeria, and Candomble in indigenous populations; and African American popular culture.
This exhibition has been made possible in part by the generous support of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Susan E. Bower, Barry and Jill Kitnick, Jon and Lillian Lovelace, Mike Healy and Tim Walsh, and Kimberly Hahn and James Van Arsdale of Myopia Design. Special thanks to Wayne McCall and Associates, Santa Barbara, CA.
Bloom Projects: Melanie Schiff, Stones
Utilizing formal elements such as the still life and the self-portrait, Melanie Schiff’s photographs address quiet moments wavering on the edge of a constructed poetic narrative and an instant found by chance. Multiple themes and symbols recur throughout her work, such as her playful use of light, landscape, the body, pop culture, and ideas of spirituality and meditation. This exhibition has been made possible in part by the generous support of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thanks to Brush & Associates, Santa Barbara, CA and Wayne McCall and Associates, Santa Barbara, CA.

We are inviting the Santa Barbara community to learn how our youth are choosing to make a difference in our world locally, nationally, and internationally. Local musicians and bands will be performing music with a positive message throughout the day, and popular local artist Dominic Balli will headline in the evening. The Pangaea Festival will be a picnic-style event, and we encourage guests to pack their lunch or dinner and enjoy a relaxing picnic at the stadium! The festival is family and kid-friendly, and kids can have a chance to learn about what is going on in our world by completing their Pangaea Passport. If you are interested in learning about global human rights issues, there will be a “talk tent” where you can listen to experts and survivors talk about human rights issues, tell how we can help, and answer any questions you may have about some of the most monumental issues our world faces today. Guests will be able to support both local and international communities by purchasing items from the Fair Trade Marketplace throughout the day.
The festivities will begin at 1:00 p.m., and end at 9:00 that evening. PARKING IS FREE and admission is $5 per person, and kids 12 and under are FREE.

The Concert will feature the Cuesta Chamber Singers under the direction of John Knutson, and the Glendale College Concert Singers, under the direction of Dr. Peter Green.
The Cuesta Chamber Singers performance will include Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, a new work by California composer Eric Whitacre about Leonardo DaVinci, and a set of romantic love songs by Brahms. “The Chamber Singers are the strongest group I’ve worked with in my career,” says Knutson.
The Glendale College Concert Singers is the advanced choral ensemble at Glendale College. Membership of the group is made up of part community members, part transfer students. Dr. Peter Green became director of this group in 2004. The choir received an “Angel award” from the “Excellence in Media” organization in March of this year. The Glendale College Concert Singers are visiting San Luis Obispo for the second time. Several years ago, the group traveled to SLO to sing a concert with the Cuesta Chamber Singers, and it was such a success they decided to come back! The Concert Singers will perform several movements from Mozart’s beautiful “Requiem”, as well as other contemporary works including a Latin work by American Guy Forbes.
The Cuesta Chamber Singers, Cuesta College’s premier choral ensemble, perform a wide variety of choral works to excellent critical acclaim. Since it’s inception in 1997, the ensemble has toured extensively through the Western United States. In the summer of 2005, the Chamber Singers toured the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, performing consistently to packed houses and standing ovations. The Chamber Singers returned to Europe in 2008 to perform in Spain, and at the Festival International en Provence in France. In June 2009 the Chamber Singers received 2nd Place in every category at the California International Choir Competition.
Admission to the concert is free. For more information, call 805-546-3195.

The violin, cello and piano trio, Intersection has forged a powerful connection with audiences worldwide. As the group’s numerous recordings top classical and crossover charts in Asia, their fan base continues to rapidly grow throughout Europe and the US.
Their program is anything but typical -- a Hungarian thread in Brahms may spin into Gypsy tunes, Dvorak into Slavic dance forms, Ravel into ethereal French renderings. And…they present American repertoire spanning avant garde and popular genres. Drawing inspiration from their home base in New York, Intersection is an exciting musical embodiment of vitality, verve and diversity.

'Charlie King and Karen Brandow are musical storytellers and political satirists. Their repertoire covers a century and a half and four continents. They perform with the sweet and precise harmonies of life partners. They sing and write passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. “Two voices that complement each other beautifully & instrumentation that is spare, acoustic & just right”
-Victory Music Review.
'Charlie King has been at the heart of American folk music for over 40 years. His songs have been recorded and sung by other performers such as Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Peggy Seeger, Chad Mitchell and Judy Small.'

Katy began writing songs at age 12 and played in coffeehouses by age 15. Winning a major songwriting contest in California, she made records and was soon lured to England. She stayed, wrote songs for other artists and worked as a filmmaker.
Boyd began playing percussion with Irish musicians and soon met Benny Wain. He has played many of the top U.K folk festivals. He started playing fiddle with his family's folk band 'AThe Sydling Stompers" at a very early age.

The Central Coast Watercolor Society will host a demonstration by artist, Art Van Rhyn, on April 27th. Art has been a cartoonist all his life and a boogie woogie piano player in Jr. High. He became a "serious" artist over 30 years ago when he learned to paint in watercolors. College followed that and he received a B.A. and M.A. degree in sculpture. He said that really didn't do him much good! But when he retired in 1982 and moved to Cambria, he started a Gallery on Moonstone Beach - and he's been having fun every since. Come and experience this delightful artist talk about "The Use,of Acrylic As A Watermedia" - and expect to be entertained!
