The mircrogrid is also a perfect metaphor for how activism can start with just one person and grow to the power of the many\, working together for meaningful change. FACES OF SUN AND WIND features choreography by Michele Brangwen and music by Jon Irabagon\, with sections of movement & music created in the moment by all performers.\nMichele Brangwen writes: “When the Amazon labor union leader Chris Smalls was asked “what is the single most important component of activism\,” he replied: “to start from a place of love.” When you think about it\, that quote is quite powerful. We have a lot of work to do to combat the climate crisis. I don’t think we are going to mobilize in the ways in which we need to if we approach it from a place of shame or anger\, but instead I think the progress will come from a place of love: love for each other and love for the earth. In creating FACES OF SUN AND WIND I wanted to create a work that would surround the audience with a feeling of welcome.”\nThe program will also include UNENDING\, a work inspired by the music of John Coltrane\, with choreography and costumes by Michele Brangwen\, music by Grammy-nominated composer & trumpeter Tim Hagans\, and movement and music created in the moment by all performers. UNENDING folllows the form of a traditional jazz tune\, with set choreography and music to the head and bridge\, and then improvised duets for dancers and musicians during the choruses.\nPerformers: MEREDITH FAGES\, CRISTIAN LAVERDE KÖNIG\, LINDSEY McGILL & MICHELE BRANGWEN\, dancers; TIM HAGANS\, trumpet; JON IRABAGON\, saxophone; THOMAS HELTON\, double bass; SAM KNIGHT\, drums.\nThe program will also feature ALLURE\, a short film created by composer and vocalist Angela Wang in collaboration with dancer & choreographer Lindsey McGill. Filmed in the Silos at Sawyer Yards\, ALLURE features a lone dancer (McGill) enticed by endless yards of billowing mysterious fabric to enter the caverns and explore the nature of longing. The film explores how our obsessions can lead us to places of fulfillment. The 4:38 minute film won best choreography music video at Rome Music Video Awards.\nThe FACES OF SUN AND WIND is made possible in part by funding from the Mayor’s Office Of Cultural Affairs/City Of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance\, the Puffin Foundation\, Cullen Trust for The Performing Arts and New Music USA. A masterclass with composer & saxophonist Jon Irabagon is being presented at Texas Southern University by the Michele Brangwen Dance & Music Ensemble in partnership with DACAMERA of Houston.\nThe Michele Brangwen Dance & Music Ensemble is pleased to announce a special discount ticket offering in partnership with the 4th Annual Houston Latino/a/x Contemporary Dance Festival\, produced by the Pilot Dance Project at the historic Deluxe Theatre. Audience members purchasing tickets for either the March 9th or 10th performance will receive a special code for half off their ticket price to the Latino/a/x Contemporary Dance Festival\, March 8-10. In the same way\, ticket holders for the Festival will receive a code from the Pilot Dance Project that can be used for half off tickets for the Michele Brangwen Dance & Music Ensemble’s performances.\nThe Michele Brangwen Dance & Music Ensemble is a contemporary dance and music ensemble featuring all new choreography and live original music in a performing environment where dancers and musicians break the boundaries of traditional ensemble interaction. In 23 years\, every performance has included live music and the musicians as integral parts of the visual stage imagery. We believe that the artist’s role in society is to communicate\, to challenge\, to open a dialogue that can both unite us and inspire meaningful change. We function like a jazz band\, and along with sections of choreographed movements and written music\, we use improvisation that comes out of the form\, concept\, and emotional life of the work. The Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble is based in New York City & Houston.\n“Lovely dancers & intensely focused musicians.” – Mindy Aloff\, Dance Writer & Critic\nVillage Voice Choice\, February 2017 – Elizabeth Zimmer\, Chief Dance Critic\, Village Voice\n“A joy to watch” – Adam Castaneda\, The Houston Press URL:https://eastendhouston.com/event/faces-of-sun-and-wind/ LOCATION:MATCH Houston (Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston)\, 3400 Main St.\, Houston\, TX\, 77002\, United States CATEGORIES:Dance,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eastendhouston.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/facesofsunwind-mfrGnt.tmp_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Michele Brangwen Dance &%3B Music Ensemble":MAILTO:info@brangwendance.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240219T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240219T213000 DTSTAMP:20260403T190126 CREATED:20240220T031216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240220T040200Z UID:215481-1708371000-1708378200@eastendhouston.com SUMMARY:They\, Who Sound DESCRIPTION:Every Monday\nNameless Sound and Lawndale Art Center join forces to present an evening of experimental sound-making\, improvised music\, noises\, the sounding of art\, the performance of art\, and more.

Through the work of eleven artists spanning generations and geographies\, the exhibition thinks through infrastructure as an intimate holding cell\, capable of affective and affirmative power.\nThe title is borrowed from a sonnet line by poet Juliana Spahr\, and is recast to reflect on the relational infrastructures of cultural material. In recent years\, a surge of scholarship on the built and unbuilt environments has emerged contrasting “humans\, things\, words\, and non-humans into patterned conjunctures\,” to quote feminist theorist Michelle Murphy. This exhibition examines how infrastructures can be understood as “affective” in their varied expressions of movement and imprint on cultural life.\nThe exhibition includes commissions and site-specific projects that expand on material and immaterial histories of Houston. At times they refer to the unique context of the Blaffer\, connecting art to other fields of knowledge and experience.\nIntimate confession is a project is accompanied by a rich public program featuring talks\, readings\, concerts\, and performances in connection with a range of citywide and institutional partners across the exhibition’s six-month run\, including Basket Books & Art\, the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation Collection\, Institute for Global Engagement\, Institute for Research on Women\, Gender & Sexuality\, Project Row Houses\, and UH School of Art.\nThe Intimate confession is a project exhibition and programs are organized by guest curator Jennifer Teets URL:https://eastendhouston.com/event/intimate-confession-is-a-project/ LOCATION:Blaffer Art Museum\, 120 Fine Arts Building\, Houston\, TX\, 77204 CATEGORIES:Free Events,Kids + Families,Music,Performance Art,Visual Arts + Museums ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eastendhouston.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/event-featured-intimate-confession-is-a-project-1696972007-R8so2O.tmp_-D1Ntwj.tmp_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Blaffer Art Museum":MAILTO:infoblaffer@uh.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240220T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240220T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T190126 CREATED:20240220T031241Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240220T161511Z UID:215556-1708452000-1708462800@eastendhouston.com SUMMARY:reVision Tuesday Night Sessions DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Night reVision Sessions is a community-focused event that aims to promote exercise\, dance\, and unity while shaping young minds.
