Our SPOTLIGHT ON Narrative Expressions through Movement class is a dynamic dance workshop designed for adults of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds who are interested in exploring the creative intersection of movement and theater. Whether experienced in dance or new to the art form, participants are welcomed into a space where unique stories can be expressed through the universal language of movement. The workshop focuses on creative movement exercises and improvisational dance structures that emphasize storytelling. Participants will draw inspiration from their personal stories, backgrounds, and life experiences, exploring how movement can convey emotion, narrative, and character. This journey turns every step, gesture, and movement into part of a larger narrative. No prior dance experience is required—only an open mind and a willingness to explore the expressive power of movement. La Jolla Playhouse on Facebook / Instagram

New Gallery 201 Exhibition in ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station Navigates the Interplay of Culture, Identity and Existence. Gallery 201 at ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station debuts “Interlaced,” a thought-provoking solo show by Christian Garcia-Olivo that delves into the evolving nature of identity and culture. SAN DIEGO, CA (AUGUST 31, 2024) – ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station, in collaboration with Dinah Poellnitz and The Hill Street Country Club, is thrilled to present a brand-new exhibition opening in Gallery 201 titled Interlaced, a solo showcase by San Diego-based artist Christian Garcia-Olivo. On display from September 12, 2024, to January 10, 2025, this exhibition delves into the intricate interplay between identity, culture, and the fluidity of existence. Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in a realm where the boundaries between self and society blur, unveiling the complexities of navigating spaces of uncertainty. Christian Garcia-Olivo’s work is a reflection of his journey as a queer Chicano artist, delving into tools of cultural heritage, resistance to societal norms, and the tension between personal and communal identities. His signature use of sculptural paint skins, reminiscent of smooth candy paint and woven Mexican textiles, creates a vivid tapestry that challenges conventional perceptions of art, identity, and belonging. Curated by Dinah Poellnitz, the inaugural David G. Fleet Curator-in-Residence at ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station, Interlaced challenges the notion of fixed identity and whose values are inherited and perpetuated. The exhibit reflects the complexities of cultural hybridity, and the strength found in vulnerability, offering a critique of both personal and societal structures. Learn more about the exhibition and artist here. ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station and Hill Street Country Club invite the community to join them in celebrating the opening of Interlaced from 12 pm to 4 pm on Saturday, September 14 in Gallery 201. The exhibition will be on display in Gallery 201 (2820 Roosevelt Rd #204, San Diego, CA 92106) from 8 am to 8 pm each day through January 10, 2025. The public is invited to stop by Gallery 201 for the opening reception and to view the exhibit during open hours.
