emotionally raw discussions and arguments on Hara and MiyukiâÂÂs fraught
relationship.
The film will be introduced by Tooth. Tooth is an Oakland based artist and
filmmaker. He is the initiator of the community-based film arts project
known as Black Hole: a still evolving vehicle of what he terms a type of
âÂÂperceptual activism.â Manifesting in a program of free weekly

08/21/2012 - Moving Beyond Cars: Films and Strategies for Livable Streets
Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/squidlist/~3/l0GXAYaQGLU/index.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
Transition Berkeley and The Ecology Center invite you to enjoy a series of
short films celebrating green transportation solutions from around the
world and here in the Bay Area.
We'll be inspired by films from Copenhagen and Curitiba where biking,
pedestrian, and public transit systems have made these cities much
healthier and more enjoyable while reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and
from NYC where planners are rethinking traditional bike lanes and parking
spaces.
We'll also learn about a local cafe owner who loves biking and makes it a
central part of his business. Following the films we'll brainstorm ways to
encourage all of Berkeley to move beyond cars - to walk, bike and take
public transit.
Bring your ideas for a green transportation public outreach campaign, as
well as suggestions for practical plans Berkeley can adopt to create more
livable streets.

After taking charge of the California Shakespeare Theater in 2000, Moscone,
son of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and a Yale-trained director,
turned around the once struggling troupe, molding it into one of the stars
of the Bay Area theater scene. His scripts, including the revealing story
of his grief over his fatherâÂÂs death, "Ghost Light," have earned him the
Bay Area Critics Circle and Dean Goodman Choice awards for best direction
and production. Join us for an enlightening evening with the dynamic
Moscone, who is now in his twelfth season as artistic director at Cal
Shakes. For tickets and more information please visit http://bit.ly/Moscone

Fresh off the release of his double EP Home Ghost / Ghost of Payphone
[http://peckthetowncrier.bandcamp.com] and back from a tour of the Pacific
Northwest, Peck plays his first Fairfax show with his own bed in town.
HeâÂÂs teaming up with kindred locals LA FIVA
and the never-been-to-Fairfax
Major Powers and the Lofi Symphony
a bill that recently
destroyed Sacramento. ItâÂÂs not there anymore. This might be your last
chance to enjoy the City of Fairfax. 19 BroadwayâÂÂs the place to be
because:
Peck marries electric jazz and hip-hop into songs that progress like
freestyles. âÂÂHe can go from p-funk to honky-tonk at warp speed, use his
cadence like an instrument and play mean guitar licks while rapping about
James Brown, underwear and other obscurities.â (Eugene Weekly
[http://www.eugeneweekly.com/article/peck-town-crier])
âÂÂChris Peck is a singular artist⊠straddling the nerdy and the hip with
smart, speed-changing rhymes, a lean-in and an open-faced, underplayed
handclapâŠâ (KQED

Co-presented by SF Zen Center featuring performances by En, Sean McCann
(Los Angeles) and Marielle V. Jakobsons. Curated by Danny Paul Grody
Soundwave Humanities invites you to discover the power of Zen with
collaborative Zen-inspired meditative electro acoustic performances and
introductions to meditations and Zen practice in the beautiful Julia
Morgan-designed settings of the San Francisco Zen Center. Sound artist and
violinist Jakobsons begins with a haunting performance in the Buddha Hall
using the contained energy of tranquility in music to create a performance
that transforms into a strong meditational provocation. Musician McCann
continues in the open-air courtyard gardens interlacing a richly textured
ambience with blissful string and synthesizer arrangements, each piece
balancing on a unique instrumental axis. West Coast dream-drone unit En
ends the night in the Dining Room with acoustic koto used across the stereo
spectrum and a looping guitar creating the haze of a beautiful, slowly
shifting drone, creating an epic slow-burner that reaches heights both
angelic and cacophonous.

Teen pregnancy and young motherhood is an issue that spans education,
politics, health, family life and more. It has received great attention
recently with the federal decision to block over-the-counter sales of an
after-sex contraceptive pill to girls under age 17. Given this ruling, as
well as the creation of other new health-care legislation, what is the
reality of teen pregnancy and teen reproductive care? How are our
communities addressing this issue? Are there new barriers to birth control
access and if so, what are they? To discuss this issue, weâÂÂre bringing
together experts from the fields of health care, psychology, politics and
more.

08/28/2012 - 'Double Feature: Contagion & Panic in the Streets'

Following the 6:30 pm screening of Contagion, Mark Smolinski, Director of
Global Health Threats with the Skoll Global Threats Fund and a consultant
on Contagion will discuss the science behind the film and the ways in which
the threat of global pandemic has changed between the eras of the two films
in our double feature.
The San Francisco Film SocietyâÂÂs Global Threats Film Series continues
with a global pandemic double feature of Steven SoderberghâÂÂs Contagion
(USA 2011) and Elia KazanâÂÂs Panic in the Streets (USA 1950)!
In a world of mass transit, the transmission of a deadly disease has rapid
global reach, as shown in SoderberghâÂÂs expert thriller. Though the MEV-1
virus that devastates the planet in Contagion is fictional, the science
behind it is not. To ground the terrifying story of a pandemic in fact,
screenwriter Scott Z. Burns worked closely with leading scientists to
present a chillingly possible scenario. As the other characters suffer the
depredations of the disease in a daze, it is the epidemiologists who are
the filmâÂÂs heroes, from Kate WinsletâÂÂs focused calm as a Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) doctor on the front lines to the
diligent researcher at the World Health Organization (WHO) played by Marion
Cotillard, who is trying to track the virusâÂÂs Patient Zero. Made with
admirable style and economy, the film educates and informs while also being
viscerally entertaining.
Written by Scott Z. Burns. Photographed by Steven Soderbergh. With Matt
Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard. 106 min. Distributed by
Warner Bros.
In Elia KazanâÂÂs New Orleansￜ"set noirish thriller Panic in the Streets,
an illegal immigrant fresh off a boat is killed after a card game with
criminals Blackie (Jack Palance) and Raymond (Zero Mostel). The doctor who
performs the autopsy on the unidentified corpse immediately notices
something awry and calls in Dr. Clinton Reed (Richard Widmark) of the U.S.
Heath Service, who diagnoses pneumonic plague. Reed must work with a gruff
police captain (Paul Douglas) to try and find the killersￜ"who may be
carrying the infectionￜ"before they skip town and spread a deadly
epidemic. For Kazan, the plague is more of a metaphorical device than an
opportunity for a realistic procedural about prevention, but the film
provides a stark reminder of how much more complicated it has become to
prevent the spread of deadly diseases in the last 60 years.

09/21/2012 - Kathy Mata Ballet Autumn Showcase
Posted: 21 Sep 2012 06:00 PM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/squidlist/~3/g1eevVfRdmk/index.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
Kathy Mata Ballet is proud to announce its upcoming performance, Friday,
September 21, 2012 at 8pm, on the main stage of the stunning San Francisco
Conservatory of Music!
This lively performance will consist of a variety of
dance styles, including classical and contemporary ballet as well as
modern, jazz,
and belly dance. The program will feature newly choreographed works along
with some beautiful tried-and-true classics.
Kathy Mata Ballet will be joined by special guest, the Gnosis Dance
Collective, who will perform their enthralling
and thought-provoking piece, âÂÂThe Green Chair.â In the acoustically
perfect San
Francisco Conservatory concert hall, the program will feature live music by
pianist Lucy Hudson, flautist Khalilah Alston, violinist Keegan Dwyer,
bassist
Colin Williams, vocalist Robin Yukiko, and musical group The Verms.
Like all of Kathy Mata BalletâÂÂs performances, admission is complimentary,
though donations
are encouraged. This is a performance not to be missed!
About Kathy Mata Ballet:
Founded in 1988, Kathy Mata Ballet is one of the few dance companies in the
country to provide talented adult dancers from non-dance professions with
the
opportunity to train and perform. The company dancers, all of whom rehearse
at least four times a week on top of their professional working day, come
from a
variety of careers including accounting, engineering, law, and scientific
research.
Unlike most dance companies, all Kathy Mata Ballet performances benefit
community
charities or are offered free of charge.
Bringing dance to deserving community audiences is one of the groupâÂÂs
main goals.
The company regularly performs at places like the Sequoias Senior Living
Center and the Castro Senior
Center, among others. We also have been involved for several years in
performing
in the Spring Dance Inspiration show at the Cowell Theater, which has
raised
tens of thousands of dollars for brain tumor research and treatment.
In addition, we offer regular studio performances and donate the proceeds
to the Alonzo
King LINES Dance Center, our rehearsal home. This emphasis on community
service is one of the greatest joys of the company.

emotionally raw discussions and arguments on Hara and MiyukiâÂÂs fraught
relationship.
The film will be introduced by Tooth. Tooth is an Oakland based artist and
filmmaker. He is the initiator of the community-based film arts project
known as Black Hole: a still evolving vehicle of what he terms a type of
âÂÂperceptual activism.â Manifesting in a program of free weekly

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/squidlist/~3/l0GXAYaQGLU/index.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
Transition Berkeley and The Ecology Center invite you to enjoy a series of
short films celebrating green transportation solutions from around the
world and here in the Bay Area.
We'll be inspired by films from Copenhagen and Curitiba where biking,
pedestrian, and public transit systems have made these cities much
healthier and more enjoyable while reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and
from NYC where planners are rethinking traditional bike lanes and parking
spaces.
We'll also learn about a local cafe owner who loves biking and makes it a
central part of his business. Following the films we'll brainstorm ways to
encourage all of Berkeley to move beyond cars - to walk, bike and take
public transit.
Bring your ideas for a green transportation public outreach campaign, as
well as suggestions for practical plans Berkeley can adopt to create more
livable streets.

turned around the once struggling troupe, molding it into one of the stars

Bay Area Critics Circle and Dean Goodman Choice awards for best direction
and production. Join us for an enlightening evening with the dynamic
Moscone, who is now in his twelfth season as artistic director at Cal

Fresh off the release of his double EP Home Ghost / Ghost of Payphone
[http://peckthetowncrier.bandcamp.com] and back from a tour of the Pacific
Northwest, Peck plays his first Fairfax show with his own bed in town.
HeâÂÂs teaming up with kindred locals LA FIVA
and the never-been-to-Fairfax
Major Powers and the Lofi Symphony
a bill that recently
destroyed Sacramento. ItâÂÂs not there anymore. This might be your last
chance to enjoy the City of Fairfax. 19 BroadwayâÂÂs the place to be
because:
Peck marries electric jazz and hip-hop into songs that progress like
freestyles. âÂÂHe can go from p-funk to honky-tonk at warp speed, use his
cadence like an instrument and play mean guitar licks while rapping about
James Brown, underwear and other obscurities.â (Eugene Weekly
[http://www.eugeneweekly.com/article/peck-town-crier])
âÂÂChris Peck is a singular artist⊠straddling the nerdy and the hip with
smart, speed-changing rhymes, a lean-in and an open-faced, underplayed
handclapâŠâ (KQED

Soundwave Humanities invites you to discover the power of Zen with
collaborative Zen-inspired meditative electro acoustic performances and
introductions to meditations and Zen practice in the beautiful Julia
Morgan-designed settings of the San Francisco Zen Center. Sound artist and
violinist Jakobsons begins with a haunting performance in the Buddha Hall
using the contained energy of tranquility in music to create a performance
that transforms into a strong meditational provocation. Musician McCann
continues in the open-air courtyard gardens interlacing a richly textured
ambience with blissful string and synthesizer arrangements, each piece
balancing on a unique instrumental axis. West Coast dream-drone unit En
ends the night in the Dining Room with acoustic koto used across the stereo
spectrum and a looping guitar creating the haze of a beautiful, slowly
shifting drone, creating an epic slow-burner that reaches heights both
angelic and cacophonous.

08/27/2012 - 16 and Pregnant: The Reality and Politics of Adolescent
Reproductive Care

Teen pregnancy and young motherhood is an issue that spans education,
politics, health, family life and more. It has received great attention
recently with the federal decision to block over-the-counter sales of an
after-sex contraceptive pill to girls under age 17. Given this ruling, as
well as the creation of other new health-care legislation, what is the
reality of teen pregnancy and teen reproductive care? How are our
communities addressing this issue? Are there new barriers to birth control
access and if so, what are they? To discuss this issue, weâÂÂre bringing
together experts from the fields of health care, psychology, politics and
more.

08/28/2012 - 'Double Feature: Contagion & Panic in the Streets'
Posted: 28 Aug 2012 04:30 PM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/squidlist/~3/Bd0_iOWbIn0/index.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
Following the 6:30 pm screening of Contagion, Mark Smolinski, Director of
Global Health Threats with the Skoll Global Threats Fund and a consultant
on Contagion will discuss the science behind the film and the ways in which
the threat of global pandemic has changed between the eras of the two films
in our double feature.
The San Francisco Film SocietyâÂÂs Global Threats Film Series continues
with a global pandemic double feature of Steven SoderberghâÂÂs Contagion
(USA 2011) and Elia KazanâÂÂs Panic in the Streets (USA 1950)!
In a world of mass transit, the transmission of a deadly disease has rapid
global reach, as shown in SoderberghâÂÂs expert thriller. Though the MEV-1
virus that devastates the planet in Contagion is fictional, the science
behind it is not. To ground the terrifying story of a pandemic in fact,
screenwriter Scott Z. Burns worked closely with leading scientists to
present a chillingly possible scenario. As the other characters suffer the
depredations of the disease in a daze, it is the epidemiologists who are
the filmâÂÂs heroes, from Kate WinsletâÂÂs focused calm as a Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) doctor on the front lines to the
diligent researcher at the World Health Organization (WHO) played by Marion
Cotillard, who is trying to track the virusâÂÂs Patient Zero. Made with
admirable style and economy, the film educates and informs while also being
viscerally entertaining.
Written by Scott Z. Burns. Photographed by Steven Soderbergh. With Matt
Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard. 106 min. Distributed by
Warner Bros.
In Elia KazanâÂÂs New Orleansￜ"set noirish thriller Panic in the Streets,
an illegal immigrant fresh off a boat is killed after a card game with
criminals Blackie (Jack Palance) and Raymond (Zero Mostel). The doctor who
performs the autopsy on the unidentified corpse immediately notices
something awry and calls in Dr. Clinton Reed (Richard Widmark) of the U.S.
Heath Service, who diagnoses pneumonic plague. Reed must work with a gruff
police captain (Paul Douglas) to try and find the killersￜ"who may be
carrying the infectionￜ"before they skip town and spread a deadly
epidemic. For Kazan, the plague is more of a metaphorical device than an
opportunity for a realistic procedural about prevention, but the film
provides a stark reminder of how much more complicated it has become to
prevent the spread of deadly diseases in the last 60 years.

Contagion: 6:30 pm
Panic in the Streets: 4:00, 9:15 pm

09/21/2012 - Kathy Mata Ballet Autumn Showcase
Posted: 21 Sep 2012 06:00 PM PDT
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/squidlist/~3/g1eevVfRdmk/index.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
Kathy Mata Ballet is proud to announce its upcoming performance, Friday,
September 21, 2012 at 8pm, on the main stage of the stunning San Francisco
Conservatory of Music!
This lively performance will consist of a variety of
dance styles, including classical and contemporary ballet as well as
modern, jazz,
and belly dance. The program will feature newly choreographed works along
with some beautiful tried-and-true classics.
Kathy Mata Ballet will be joined by special guest, the Gnosis Dance
Collective, who will perform their enthralling
and thought-provoking piece, âÂÂThe Green Chair.â In the acoustically
perfect San
Francisco Conservatory concert hall, the program will feature live music by
pianist Lucy Hudson, flautist Khalilah Alston, violinist Keegan Dwyer,
bassist
Colin Williams, vocalist Robin Yukiko, and musical group The Verms.
Like all of Kathy Mata BalletâÂÂs performances, admission is complimentary,
though donations
are encouraged. This is a performance not to be missed!
About Kathy Mata Ballet:
Founded in 1988, Kathy Mata Ballet is one of the few dance companies in the
country to provide talented adult dancers from non-dance professions with
the
opportunity to train and perform. The company dancers, all of whom rehearse
at least four times a week on top of their professional working day, come
from a
variety of careers including accounting, engineering, law, and scientific
research.
Unlike most dance companies, all Kathy Mata Ballet performances benefit
community
charities or are offered free of charge.
Bringing dance to deserving community audiences is one of the groupâÂÂs
main goals.
The company regularly performs at places like the Sequoias Senior Living
Center and the Castro Senior
Center, among others. We also have been involved for several years in
performing
in the Spring Dance Inspiration show at the Cowell Theater, which has
raised
tens of thousands of dollars for brain tumor research and treatment.
In addition, we offer regular studio performances and donate the proceeds
to the Alonzo
King LINES Dance Center, our rehearsal home. This emphasis on community
service is one of the greatest joys of the company.
