Ligia Lewis works as a choreographer conceiving and directing experimental performance. Lewis’s works, often marked by physical intensity and humor, seek to animate subjects through a process that disrupts normative conceptions of the body while negotiating the ghostly traces of history, memory, and the unknown. Through her choreographic scores and compositions, she develops expressive concepts that give form to movements, speech, affects, thoughts, relations, utterances, and the bodies that hold them. Thus her work slides between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Held together by the logic of interdependence, disorder, and play, she creates space(s) for the emergent and the indeterminate while tending to the mundane. In her work, sonic and visual metaphors meet the body, materializing the enigmatic, the poetic, and the dissonant. Lewis’s work continues to evoke the nuances of embodiment.

Broadway San Diego presents '1776': What will it take to get two dozen powerfully passionate, exceedingly complicated, and all-too-human individuals to settle their differences, while they hold the very future of a nation in their hands? The Tony Award-winning Best Musical 1776 catapults to blazing new life in a thrillingly new production from directors Jeffrey L. Page (Violet) and Diane Paulus (Waitress). New York Magazine/Vulture says, “it’s an absolute blast!” Suddenly, the songs, humor, and passion of this musical masterpiece soar as never before. A glorious multiracial cast of female, transgender, and nonbinary actors portrays the fiery founders of this country, putting history in the hands of the humans who were left out the first time around—and the result is an epic show of passion, debate, and roof-raising musical fireworks. Experience “a 1776 worth celebrating!” (Variety) “It pulsates with energy and snaps with attitude.” You may never think about our country—who we are and why—the same way again. Rating: Recommended for ages 9+. Please note guests under age five are not permitted to enter. All guests entering the theater, regardless of age, must have a ticket.

Distinction Gallery is thrilled to announce the opening reception of “There’s No Place Like Home,” a solo show by San Francisco based fine art painter and muralist Amandalynn. Amandalynn painted a 140 foot long mural on the side of our building in 2016 and we are thrilled that she will be returning to paint a mural inside our on site art bar, Last Spot by Hidden Hive. The mural unveiling will be at the opening reception on June 11 from 6-10 p.m. As a fine artist, Amandalynn is inspired by the female form and spirit. She is passionate about her illustrative depictions of strong, seductive women, capturing an alluring invitation to each viewer through strong line work and decorative patterning. Amandalynn shows her artwork extensively throughout the world. Additionally, she is continually invited to create murals throughout the world. Amandalynn has welcomed a huge fan base through being the art director for Kaaboo Music and Art Festival. Her artworks and murals appeared throughout the festival's initial launch in Del Mar in 2015 and will again be featured in 2016 in Del Mar and additional upcoming festivals. The exposure has helped Amandalynn to further develop a strong collecting base. Amandalynn has created 10 brand new whimsical paintings and custom wood sculptures for the exhibition. The opening reception with the artist, open studios, live music, and drinks for sale from Last Spot by Hidden Hive will be held on Saturday June 11, from 6-10 p.m. The exhibition will run from June 11 - July 2.
