For the third year running, Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe-winning composer Michael Giacchino returns to host an intimate conversation with one of Hollywood’s most beloved filmmakers. Brad Bird is a two-time Academy Award winner whose films—"The Iron Giant," "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol," "Incredibles 2"—have a way of sneaking up on you emotionally no matter how many times you’ve seen them. Giacchino’s scores are inseparable from the worlds Bird creates; if you’ve felt your heart lift during the opening of "The Incredibles "or found yourself unexpectedly moved by a rat making soup in Paris, that’s Michael’s music doing its quiet, powerful work. Together, they trace the arc of a filmmaking life that began with a handmade short sent to Disney at age fourteen and has never stopped reaching for something extraordinary—and along the way, share stories from over two decades of creative partnership that you won’t have heard anywhere else. Funny, candid, and deeply felt, this is an evening for anyone who has ever loved a movie. ArtPower at UC San Diego on Facebook / Instagram

"Threshold Encounter": A Guided Waking-Dream Lab "Threshold Encounter" is an after-dark guided arts experience using personal objects, lantern light, low sound, gentle movement, and the architecture of the room. Participants gather first by lantern light, then enter the larger space together. Through simple guided actions — listening, moving, arranging, noticing, and crossing — the group creates a shared threshold environment: a place where ordinary objects and spaces can begin to feel more charged, intimate, and alive than usual. This is not a performance, class, or therapy session. There is nothing to perform, explain, or get right. The experience is quiet, embodied, and participatory, designed for people curious about dreams, ritual, immersive art, symbolic encounter, personal transition, and the hidden life of ordinary things. Participants should bring 3–5 small objects or physical images from home — simple things that feel meaningful, curious, or charged when held. No art, theatre, meditation, or spiritual background is needed. Details: • 90 minutes, intentionally held after dark • 18+ • Limited capacity • Low light, ambient sound, gentle movement, and periods of silence • No performance required • Sharing afterward is optional • Please arrive 10 minutes early • Participants are asked not to take photos or videos during the lab This is the first in-person "Threshold Encounter" series at Expressive Arts @ 32nd & Thorn, with sessions on May 15, June 5, and June 19. May 15 is a pilot event and is pay-what-you-can, $25 suggested. June 5 and June 19 tickets are available at $20 (Community), $25 (Standard), $35 (Supporter). Tickets must be purchased online through Eventbrite. Capacity is limited. Geoffrey Schön | Depth Immersion Theatre on Instagram
