GALLERY TWO: Simon Willems - A CERTAIN WAY TO FADE - This project is part of a broader one that takes contemporary news stories about hermits as a lens through which to foreground personalised utopias. Like other recent motifs the work engages with the rhetoric of belief systems, their failure, as well as the complexity of individual choice and purpose. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=48840;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Torrance Cultural Arts Center Date: Sat, Feb 12, 2011 Time: 8:00 PM Description: Enjoy an evening with the fabulous Wonderelle’s as you sing along with their very memorable and catchy tunes. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=48845;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Torrance Cultural Arts Center Date: Sat, Feb 12, 2011 Time: 8:00 PM Description: Pride, sorrow, love, and passion are universal themes that transcend cultural boundaries. Through its purity of form, rhythms, and intensity, flamenco strikes primal chords in the emotions of audiences of all ages, all cultures, and all degrees of exposure to the arts. Flamenco is considered worldwide to be one of the riches expressions of folklore. It is inherently a multicultural art form. Originally from Andalusia, the southern region of Spain, it developed from the interaction of the many cultures that inhibited this region for centuries. Traditional dances include the joyful Alegrias, with songs that are light and carefree in spirit; the Tango, one of the oldest and most basic gypsy forms; and the Soleres, the essence and root of flamenco with its themes of romantic tragedy, desolation and death. The flamenco party frequently ends por Bulerias, with a “jam session” in which the performers take turns to “show their stuff.” http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=49235;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Gia Jordahl Date: Sat, Feb 12, 2011 Time: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Description: Joe DiPietro's heartwarming play about "the three F's - family, faith and food".
