SUMMARY:Obsessed with Light
DESCRIPTION:Sunday January 5th @ 3:00\, 2024\nFirehouse Arts and Events Center\nKuntz and Company presents\n“Obsessed with Light” \n“Obsessed with Light” is a meditation on light and the enduring obsession to create. The film pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller\, a wildly original performer who revolutionized the visual culture of the early 20th century. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present\, the documentary delves into the astonishing influence Fuller’s work has on contemporary artists including artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers\, Taylor Swift\, Bill T. Jones\, Shakira and William Kentridge. In the process\, the film uncovers commonalities that connect these creative luminaries to Fuller and to each other. \n“Obsessed with Light” is sponsored by CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival \nTickets $12.00\nhttps://www.simpletix.com/e/obsessed-with-light-tickets-193857 \nFor more information:\nhttps://www.kuntzandco.org/documenting-grace-a-dance-film-festival \nQuestions and accommodations kuntzpam@gmail.com or 360-510-4711

SUMMARY:Dirty Dozen Brass Band
DESCRIPTION:Official Website\nThe Lincoln Theatre is honored to host The Dirty Dozen Brass Band! Join us for a Mardi Gras celebration with this legendary New Orleans ensemble! \nCelebrating over 45 years since their founding in 1977\, the Grammy Award-winning New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres\, including bebop jazz\, funk and R&B/soul. This unique sound\, described by the band as a “musical gumbo\,” has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than thirty countries\, record twelve studio albums\, and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty-five plus years later\, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. \nIn 1977\, the Dirty Dozen Social Aid and Pleasure Club in New Orleans began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. It was a joining of two proud\, but antiquated\, traditions at the time: social aid and pleasure clubs dated back over a century to a time when black southerners could rarely afford life insurance\, and the clubs would provide proper funeral arrangements. Brass bands — early predecessors of jazz as we know it — would often follow the funeral procession playing somber dirges\, then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot\, burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced in the streets. By the late ’70s\, few of either existed. The Dirty Dozen Social Aid and Pleasure Club decided to assemble this group as a house band\, and over the course of these early gigs\, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue’s name: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
