Black, Brown & Beige

Black Brown & Beige
1727 E. 107th St
Watts, CA 90002

In 1943 Duke Ellington performed for the first time the symphony Black, Brown and Beige at Carnage Hall. Ellington described it as, “a parallel to the history of the American Negro”. The title of the symphony referred to the mistaken assertion that African-Americans can be categorized by a single color. In his tittle, Ellington was highlighting an experience that was broad in spectrum and experience. Conversely, Latinos also share the same generalizations as African- Americans as evidenced by the various accounts of racial profiling by police officers and the media. Unfortunately, the vast diversity in appearance within Latinos and African-Americans, as a result of various diasporas, falls behind the blanket of prejudice. As Ellington pointed out, our variety in appearance perhaps will lead us to distinct experiences, but that does not negate that we still fall under the same umbrella. In light of these shared experiences between both cultures and in an effort to share the various colorful stories that lie behind a label, we have organized the exhibition Black, Brown and Beige. The artists in the exhibition follow the trajectory that Ellington’s symphony set out to cover; historical, transitional and contemporary narratives. Our hope is to present an exhibition that points to an interconnectivity between both cultures and ultimately points to the fact that both cultures are indeed Black, Brown and Beige.

Everything in New York Goes BANG!

The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute(Los Angeles) and Dylan Mooney present

Everything in New York Goes BANG!

A Vigorous Reading of

Galinsky's New Solo Theatre Show

 

“It's electric and moving!”

Jonathan Ames, Author, Creator HBO’s “Bored to Death”

 

Friday February 9th, 5pm doors, 5:30pm Curtain

One Night Only - Pay What You Can Admission

At the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute

7936 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA

 

RSVP HERE - LIMITED SEATING

 

In this much-anticipated-one-person show, Galinsky recounts his journey

from childhood in the suburbs of Connecticut, through his interactions

with hipsters in the Lower East Side of New York City, to his work with

youth incarcerated on Rikers Island Jail. Expertly embodying multiple characters through storytelling and rock-star level poetry, BANG! explores the harmony and turmoil of living in Manhattan from his arrival in the late 1980’s to his exile and banishment from the notorious Rikers Island Jail in 2022. 

“Magnificent! A must see, Galinsky Killed it!” Barry “Shabaka” Henley

Star of ABC TV’s “Bob Hearts Abishola” - Drama Desk, Obie, and Olivier Award Winning Actor

 

"A comedic explosion!" Broadway World

 

“Everyone should go see it if they want a taste of New York, BANG!”

Nicolas Coster, Emmy Award Winning Actor, “Star Trek,” "M*A*S*H," “Wonder Woman"

 

“Galinsky’s ‘BANG!’ is touching, sweet, grungy, and saturated with humor. The word play

has a musicality to it that is likened to the beat poets of the 50s and at times, dips into the coolness and complexity of a Charlie Parker bebop jazz piece.”

Mark Schoenfeld, Creator of Broadway's “Brooklyn the Musical”
