IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE: Film Person? shared office space 12x10ish in west Berkeley ($260/mo+internet)
From: "verna_lim" < verna.lim@...>
Date: December 4, 2018 at 5:04:17 PM PST
Subject: [brex] IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE: shared office space 12x10ish in west Berkeley ($260/mo+internet)
Hi All: Lovely, well-lit, 12x10ish space in the converted old Berkeley Clock Factory --all windows along one wall, and clerestory windows along the other wall. You'd be sharing with me through at least February, (I'm there 3-4 days a week usually 9-6p, occasionally with my 2 small, quiet, adorable dogs). Rent is $260 (+ $11 or so for internet). There's a large desk, small bookshelf, and slipper chair already there which you can use, if desired. (or we can remove it). Will need first and last month rent and $200 deposit = $720 to move-in. Space is great for a consultant, a writer, artist or digital musician. The last subletter was a multi-media digital music and visual artist who used it for his evening work. We overlapped by a half hour in the early evening, perfect for exchanging art inspiration. Daytime use is welcome too, of course. I'm a producer, editor, story designer for Field Station Media -- so about 80% of the time I'm editing quietly with headphones, and 20% of the time on video conference production meetings. For my bad back, I take short yoga breaks with my mat in the corner. The main tenant (Regan Brashear) is flexible about how long you could sublet for, but looking for a commitment of at least 6 months, ideally one year. There are about 8 other friendly, awesome filmmakers and other creatives who are on the same floor. We all share a kitchenette and an outdoor patio space with a picnic table. Downstairs there are even more filmmakers and creative types. It's really a great dynamic place to work! Note on access: There is one set of stairs to get to the office and no elevator. You can email or call me with questions: 510-684-0884. Warmly,
Verna Lim
Creative Director / Producer / Editor

Those Women Producctions: Unquestioned Integrity: The Hill-Thomas Hearings, 12-11-18
By Mame Hunt?Directed by Erin Merritt?When:?8 pm December 11, 2018?Where:?The Live Oak Theater, 1301 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley?
Those Women Productions presents a staged reading of Unquestioned Integrity: an?electrifying docudrama drawn from?the testimony given by Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991.??
"When the Me Too movement began last year, some of my friends asked if I was going to write another play, but I decided not to. I did decide, though, that I would revise the ending of the play in a very brief and oblique way. After the Kavanaugh nightmare, friends again asked me if I was going to write another play about these hearings. Sadly, much of the play I wrote in '92 was echoed in the Kavanaugh hearing. Both men lied. Both expressed themselves with uncanny rage. Both women were dignified, articulate and credible. In both cases, the corroborating witnesses were prevented from testifying. Deja vu, I suppose."??~ Mame Hunt
The cast includes?Velina Brown*?as Anita Hill,?Dorian Lockett*?as Clarence Thomas, and Gene Thompson*?as "The Senator."
*Member, Actors' Equity Association
?(everyone welcome regardless of ability to pay)??
About the playwright:
Mame Hunt has been a dramaturg specializing in New Play Development for over 30 years and has worked with such organizations as the Sundance Theatre Program, Intiman Theatre, Magic Theatre (Artistic Director 1993-98), Bay Area Playwrights Festival (Artistic Director 1991-97), Berkeley Rep, Los Angeles Theatre Center, and many others. She has worked with some of the finest playwrights in the country, including Nilo Cruz, Marlane Meyer, Roger Guenveur Smith, Darrah Cloud, Julie Hebert, Mallery Avidon and Jose Rivera.
About the director:
Erin Merritt is an award-winning theater maker who specializes in political and female-forward work. She made her mark as the founding Artistic Director of the Bay Area¡¯s all-female Shakespeare company, Woman¡¯s Will (1998 ¨C 2011), where she directed 13 productions, including two ¡°Top Ten Shows of the Year.¡±?She now focuses on new work¡ªrecently directing premieres by Joan Holden, Susan-Jane Harrison, Toni Press-Coffman, and Aditi Brennan Kapil.? She also produced the 2013 and 2014 Bay Area Playwrights Festivals and the 2017 and 2018 TBA Awards, and is proud to be?part of the consortium putting together the 2020 Women¡¯s Theatre Festival, Bay Area.?.

You may have also seen her at the American Conservatory Theatre, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, California Shakespeare Theater, The Magic, TheatreWorks, Shotgun Players, SF Playhouse,? among many others.

Jim Kweskin Quartet shows next week! with Suzy Thompson
|
Coming up next week!
?
WEDS. DEC. 5 - Dead To The World, KPFA?- we'll be?on the air from 9 til around 10. ?Tune in to 94.1 FM or online via the KPFA website:?
THURS. DEC. 6 - 8:00 pm - The Back Room, 1984 Bonita Ave (off University), Berkeley.?
SAT. DEC. 8 - 2:00 pm matinee - Michael's on Main, 2591 Main Street, Soquel.?
SUN. DEC. 9 - ?2:00 pm matinee - Marin Country Mart, 2257 Larkspur Landing Circle, Larkspur.
I am so excited about these upcoming Jim Kweskin Quartet shows ¡ªit is a great joy to make music with Jim Kweskin and Meredith Axelrod. ?Way back in January 1973 (at age 18) I saw Jim Kweskin, playing solo, and that experience changed my life. ?To get to play in his band now is a dream come true for me. ?Meredith Axelrod is a brilliant singer and instrumentalist - she plays every instrument, it seems, with panache and in a completely unique yet un-self-conscious way - ?she sings like it¡¯s 1912 - and I love her wacky sense of humor as well as her devotion to her craft. ?Our music will be anchored by upright bassist Matt Berlin, from Boston.
Advance tickets are recommended for the Thurs. night show at the Back Room and the Saturday afternoon show in Soquel. ?
Please tell your Santa Cruz friends about the Michael¡¯s-on-Main (Soquel) show!
Thanks, Suzy

Central Works 2019 Season Announcement
|
|
Dear friends and patrons, ?
?
2019 means comedy and politics and literature and mystery and politics and comedy and politics and mystery and literature.?
?
2018 was an awesome season; we continued playing to a majority of full houses in our intimate 50-seat theater - in fact, King of Cuba was sold out every single night, and Bamboozled followed close behind.? Well, both Cristina and Patricia are back next year with two new plays!? This means that on any night, we might have a few spare seats to sell...but just like last season, we are very likely to be sold out with a waiting list.
? ?
"One rarely gets a chance to experience epic theatre on such an intimate scale" -Huffington Post ?
?
If you enjoy coming to Central Works, guarantee you'll get your favorite seats this season.? The best way to get the seats you want on the night you want them, is with a Central Works Subscription!?And?remember that our subscription program is completely flexible, which means that they make terrific gifts, too!?
?
Have a great holiday and new year; we can't wait to see you at the theater in 2019 for another momentous year of creation and entertainment!
?
With our sincere thanks for all your support,? Jan & Gary?

The Art of Living Black returns for the 23rd year at the Richmond Art Center
The longest running annual exhibition in the Bay Area to exclusively feature artists of African descent.
?
The Art of Living Black returns for the 23rd year at the Richmond Art Center
?
The longest running annual exhibition in the Bay Area?to?exclusively feature artists of African descent.
November 20, 2018 ¡ª RICHMOND, CA ¡ª The 23rd Annual Art of Living Black is coming! As the longest running event of its kind in the Bay Area to feature artists of African descent, The 23rd Annual Art of Living Black will present an exhibition of over 100 works at the Richmond Art Center (January 15 ¨C March 8, 2019), as well as Open Studios and Satellite Exhibitions at locations across the Bay Area.
The public is invited to an opening reception at the Richmond Art Center on Saturday, February 2, from 2:00-5:00 pm. From 12:30-2:00 pm, the reception will be preceded by an Artist Talk by Spotlight Artists: °Õ´Ç³¾²â¨¦, Stephanie Thames, and Karin Turner-karinsArt. Thames creates inspirational ceramic sculpture, Karin Turner offers luscious figurative paintings, and °Õ´Ç³¾²â¨¦ fabricates fused slumped glass portraits. On Saturday, February 9, from 12:00-2:00pm,?special guest speaker Joyce Gordon will present and announce the 2020 Spotlight award winners.
The 23rd Annual Art of Living Black Open Studios Guide will be available in mid-January 2019 for art lovers to design their own self-guided tours of Open Studios and Satellite Exhibitions. Open Studio events will be held on Saturday and Sunday, February 23 & 24 and March 2 & 3, 10:00am-6:00pm.
The Art of Living Black was founded in 1997 by sculptor Jan Hart-Schuyers and painter Rae Louise Hayward after their realization that black artists were not being represented by galleries in any significant way. As Hart-Schuyers said at the time, ¡°We¡¯re just a group of artists that share the same dream. We¡¯ve decided to do something about it.¡±?
And they did. Since its founding 23 years ago, The Art of Living Black has featured hundreds of emerging and established artists:?showcasing their work, introducing them to new patrons and audiences, and building a creative community of artists and art lovers. Tragically Hart-Schuyers passed away in 1998 and Hayward died in 2008. However, their organizing efforts were carried on for many years by their husbands Henri Schuyers and Steven Hopkins, and Steven¡¯s sister Melba Lazenby, who passed away in 2013.
The 23rd Annual Art of Living Black is organized by a Steering Committee in partnership with the Richmond Art Center. The Art Of Living Black Steering Committee is a dedicated group of established Bay Area artists touched by the vision of Hart-Shuyers and Hayward. Their mission is to preserve and expand the vision of their beloved founders by supporting emerging, mid-career and established artists of African descent.
¡°The Art of Living Black is a hallmark event in the Bay Area for artists of African descent,¡± says Stephen Bruce, artist and Steering Committee Chair. ¡°The Open Studios and Satellite Exhibitions provide a fantastic opportunity for the public to interact with artists and make a personal connection.¡±
As one of the artists who participated from the beginning, Spotlight Artist awardee °Õ´Ç³¾²â¨¦ says of The Art of Living Black, ¡°I believe staying the course with your talents is rewarding, and who knew, twenty-two years later I would be honored with The Art Of Living Black Best of Show Award. Practice, patience and presume the best outcomes for yourself.¡±
