WHEN: Fri, February 9th, 2024 at 12 or 1 p.m. (3rd grades) or Fri, February 23rd, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. (5th grades) NEW DATE
WHERE: 8530 Limerick Ave, Canoga Park, CA 91306
Tickets: FREE and open to the public – if you are a parent or general audience member, please contact Limerick Ave Elementary at 818-341-1730 if you would like to attend and please be specific.
The performance and residency workshops are presented by LOUISE REICHLIN DANCERS, a performance company of LOS ANGELES CHOREOGRAPHERS & DANCERS (LA C&D). They have been working with the students in a 5-session dance residency to learn the words and movement from three multicultural dances- the Tanko Bushi from Japan, the Kol Dodi from Israel, and the Lamba from the 14th century Mali Empire in West Africa. Some are learning a Mexican dance Las Chiapanecas. Some of the students are also performing in “The Tennis Dances”, a theatrical work using props.
Louise Reichlin &; Dancers will perform Gotta Get Up, and sections of The Tennis Dances. For the Feb 20 performance they will also be performing the first section of Reboot! Reboot! that ends with a square dance. The company had worked with the school several years ago, and the assemblies were to be the first LIVE we were able to do in the schools- but COVID 19 jumped in the day of the show, and it was postponed several weeks. This year the company is working with six of their 3rd grades, five of their 4th grades, and five of their 5th grades. The school residency is sponsored in part through a grant from the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles along with major support from the new CAP Program (LAUSD’s Cultural Arts Passport program funded by Extended Learning Opportunities). The company also receives funding from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission and the California Arts Council towards its educational programs.

Reichlin receives commission from Dance in the Districts with the premiere of Moving at the Madrid
In July we filmed material honoring the support we have received from developing works at the Madrid Theater.
The resulting short features our current dancers joining footage from the original productions and was premiered at the Lankershim Art Center on Oct 1, 2022.
DCA and the Los Angeles Dance Workers Coalition funded the online performances by 22 dancers and choreographers who reside or work in Council Districts 2, 3, 8, and 10 for the pilot program, Dance in the Districts.
Our short film, Moving at the Madrid, was created and recorded at the Madrid Theater and included looking at some of the works juxtaposed with our current dancers. Works included “The Patchwork Girl of Oz”; “A Jewish Child’s Story”, and most recently “Reboot! Reboot!”

2 Years of this time without end-PRESS RELEASE IVY SUBSTATION
MORE ABOUT 2 YEARS FROM THIS TIME WITHOUT END
Founded in 1979, Louise Reichlin & Dancers/ Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers is documenting the last two years with a reimagining of Urban and Tribal Dances, Brandenburg, and Reboot! Reboot!, returning to the Ivy Substation at 9070 Venice Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232 with a preview on Friday June 17 at 7 pm, and performances on Saturday & Sunday June 18 and 19 at 2 pm. These performances are made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Culver City Arts Foundation. They are also supported, in part, by the 2021-22 Second Supervisorial District Arts and Culture Recovery Grant Program, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts & Culture, and by a CA Arts Council Operating Grant.
A few reviews of the works on this program- three from the original with two recent ones.
“And Urban and Tribal Dances certainly deserves all the audiences it can get…Reichlin’s ambitious, ever- engaging, six-part suite delivers exactly what its title promises. Following once again her trademark aesthetic, she opts for metaphor, transferring what we think of as tribal behavior to the contemporary urban scene .” Los Angeles Times
“The most interesting example of her current work was found in Urban and Tribal Dances, which was further enhanced by an intriguing score of ethnic sounds gathered from around the world
…Costumed in surreal headdresses and makeup, the dancers conveyed the interconnectedness of human existence, juxtaposed with the isolation experienced even in the midst of society.” Variety
“…evoking mysterious, primitive imagery” Daily News
Alone 2020 – “For the (Los Angles Dance) Festival, Reichlin has taken a recording of … an earlier solo entitled Alone, and with the aid of technology, has cleverly superimposed four other similar solos to create Alone 2020. The work features 5 women living alone in separate tents. It is a work with multiple layers of meaning considering the homeless situation throughout this country, the separation we all feel during the pandemic and the dependency we all have on our telephones.” LA Dance Chronicle
Reboot! Reboot! (2021)– “An earthy opening …moving through worlds of joyous bluegrass and aggressive tangos…. The ending was quiet, reflective, and sweet, beginning with a vibrating reach that drew energy from the earth as each dancer rose up to join into unison. The cycling music started again as the dancers came together culminating with a final unifying circle, and finally sweeping unity …left the viewers with a sense of honesty and clarity regarding a human need for connection and meaning.” LA Dance Review
PARKING:
Parking free on street after 6, and for matinees there is INCE (entrance across Culver next to Trader Joes or enter at 9099 Washington Blvd. (theater between Culver and Venice )- first hour free, $1 every 30 minutes after that) or Culver Steps enter at 9300 Culver Blvd, same prices.

Our newest work Reboot! Reboot! Center Theater, Santa Barbara
At this year’s festival, we present a performance of a new work Reboot! Reboot! It was originally created as a film in August 2021 and is about how we are constantly rebooting everything we have known with the ever-present pandemic. Or perhaps it just asks how we have always dealt with uncertainty and the necessity for adaptation while maintaining who we are. “An earthy opening …moving through worlds of joyous bluegrass and aggressive tangos…. The ending was quiet, reflective, and sweet, beginning with a vibrating reach that drew energy from the earth as each dancer rose up to join into unison. The cycling music started again as the dancers came together culminating with a final unifying circle, and finally sweeping unity …left the viewers with a sense of honesty and clarity regarding a human need for connection and meaning.” LA Dance Review

Our Educational Residency Programs continue at Limerick Avenue Elementary School as another at Richard Riordan Primary Center begins.
Louise Reichlin & Dancers /Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers creates an educational project at Limerick Avenue Elementary School. After one week of virtual classes while our company made sure all testing was completed, this became our first residency in 2 years that is LIVE. Our teaching artists have worked live with 6 classes over a 4-week period preparing for 2 live performances on February 22, 2022. The school was also making sure all tests for Covid were done, and classrooms were used for the dance classes as testing got priority in the auditorium. But then the performance space opened up, and was available for the final weeks. Both the students and 6 members of the company are performing live. As at Rosa Parks, the students have been learning the words and movement from three multicultural dances- the Tanko Bushi from Japan, the Kol Dodi from Israel, and the Lamba from the 14th century Mali Empire in West Africa. Some of the students are also performing Las Chiapanecas, a traditional Mexican folk dance. Our Dance Teaching Artists this semester for Limerick Ave Elementary are Mcknnly Moren, Eve Metsäranta, Louise Reichlin, and Jill Collins. Added to these at the performance are Coree McKee Gonzalez, Emily Mcguire, and Katie Mcculla.
The company dances presented in our school program are streaming on Vimeo, as we are not allowed to have the students shown according to LAUSD rules. The company videos will therefore show a range selected from our 42 years of educational programs.
The school residency is sponsored through an RFP to the company from Partners For Student Success (PFSS) of the Los Angeles Unified School District and grants from the Dept of Cultural Affairs City of Los Angeles and the California Arts Council. It is also sponsored by Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers who receives education grants from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.

Educational Residencies at Rosa Parks Learning Center
Louise Reichlin & Dancers /Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers does Part 1 of a hybrid educational project at Rosa Parks Learning Center. Our teaching artists have worked live with 8 classes over a 4-week period for a live performance with their part live, and Director Louise Reichlin’s part running the performance and sharing several company dances virtually to the virtual parents that zoomed in. Company dances are also being streamed through Nov 11, 2021 and then again Dec 15-25 after Part II with 7 more classes. The students have been learning the words and movement from three multicultural dances- the Tanko Bushi from Japan, the Kol Dodi from Israel, and the Lamba from the 14th century Mali Empire in West Africa. Some of the students are also performing a Chiapanecas, a traditional Mexican folk dance. Our Dance Teaching Artists this semester for Rosa Parks Learning Center are Elizabeth Ann Poinsetta, Coree McKee Gonzalez, Katie Mcculla, Mcknnly Moren, and Eve Metsäranta.
The general public community can share the company dances presented in our school program streaming on Vimeo. The company videos also show a range selected from our 42 years of educational programs. We cannot use ones actually done in schools that show the student interaction because of LAUSD cyber rules.

excerpts from DIS-LOCATED
7 pm on Sat May 8, 2021
At the Orange County Dance Festival – ticket info below
Our first live performance in more than a year!
dis-located is set on three homeless people, but it grew out of specific feelings and how they crystallize into movement. It also focuses on disempowerment. The feelings are those we have when we deal with displacement- like the immigrant who arrives in a new land, the situation of transition and instability, and loss, whether of a relationship or a job that has provided security in the past.
Originally created in 1989 by Louise Reichlin, music is by Michael Shrieve, Steve Roach, David Torn, Spielman und kleriker (Lai des Amans), Sergei Prokofiev with an Original score by Paul Hodgins
Dancers in dis-located:
1- Katelyn Martin, Jill Elaine Collins, Eve Metsäranta
2- Eve Metsäranta, Caitlin M Heflin, Jill Elaine Collins, Katelyn Martin
3- Jill Elaine Collins, Artur Aleksanyan
4- Katelyn Martin, Jill Elaine Collins, Eve Metsäranta

The Patchwork Girl Of Oz
Free streaming Extended- April 28- May 31, 2021
On Vimeo
With the opportunity to present a free performance in co-ordination with one of our school residencies, we are delighted to invite you on a journey of self-discovery. Louise Reichlin & Dancers/ Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers presents an inspiring family-friendly dance and multimedia work, featuring the award-winning narrated production of The Patchwork Girl of Oz performed at the Taper Auditorium, Los Angeles Public Library. The company is in residence now at Melvin Avenue Elementary School. One of our grants specifies that the student workshops culminate in a performance for the public, but because of the nature of on-line activities (and not possible to monitor at the school site) we are presenting one only for the school where the students are in two of the dances, and one for the public without those students but with our professional dancers. Special thanks to our funders who include the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles, the CA Arts Council, the LA County Department of Arts and Culture, and the Arts Office of the LA Unified School District.
Education Residencies This Year
Now in April, we just finished a dance residency working with every student at Amanecer Primary Center from age 3-9 through the new Partners For Student Success (PFSS), and now we are working with 3 classes at Melvin Ave El and 4 classes at Broadacres El. In the Fall we returned to Plainview Academic Charter and Danube Elementary, and worked with 5 classes of Middle School students at Logan Street School. Special thanks to our education funders who include the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles, the CA Arts Council, the LA County Department of Arts and Culture, and the Arts Office of the LA Unified School District. Also thanks to our individual contributers that help tie everything together.

Admission: FREE
About the piece-
Urban and Tribal Dances is about people of present, past, or slightly future time in an urban setting. The 6-part suite was to be revived at the Ivy Substation in Culver City this past July. That was just one of our cancelled performances with the Pandemic. “Batida”, reveals an ever-present communal or tribal theme that lies below the surface. “Alone” is just the opposite, bleak and isolated. Although choreographed in 1990, it foreshadows our dependence on our phones, but at that time by a telephone cord. When it breaks, the dancer is deaf and blind.
We were rehearsing Batida”, and “Alone” for the Orange County Dance Festival that would have been in April, and left the tent partially set up in our early March rehearsal and took it up to storage at the studio that way. Then March 12 came, and everything closed. When we got back into the studio 4 months later, we found the tent had been thrown away by mistake.
I thought it was a sign I would have to abandon the piece. And then I had the idea of finding new tents and adding them to the early recording we had. The dancers had already learned the solo.
When I look at this new version of “Alone”, I see a piece where even though we are each experiencing a very alone moment, this has been happening since the beginning of time, and perhaps, on a more hopeful note, we are still connected always to each other.
The work was choreographed with each dancer working alone on Zoom with choreography and direction by myself on Zoom, also alone, and edited by Andrew Zutta, also working at first alone, and finally with us on Zoom sharing the editing room.

EVENT #1- The Patchwork Girl of Oz
Louise Reichlin & Dancers/ Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers presents The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Colorful costumes, multimedia set, and spectacular dance present a dazzling interactive journey into the land of Oz–one that ignites imaginations of young and old alike. In this narrated story adapted from L. Frank Baum, we follow characters from the “Wizard of Oz” and introduce new ones–like the exuberant title character the Patchwork Girl.
WHEN: October 19 & 20, 2019; 2:00 p.m.
TICKETS: $16 general admission; $8 children 12 and under.
HOW: Buy tickets online or call 800-838-3006 to purchase. You may also call 213-385-1171 for more information or to make a reservation.
Celebrating 40 years of presenting soulful, imaginative dance that takes audience members on their own journey of self-discovery, Louise Reichlin & Dancers/ Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers presents an inspiring weekend filled with dance and multimedia on Saturday and Sunday, October 19 & 20. The 2:00 p.m. performances feature the family-friendly award-winning dance/multimedia narrated production of The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Learn more.
In this adapted narrated story, the dance follows characters from the “Wizard of Oz” and introduce new ones like the exuberant title character the Patchwork Girl. Another new character, Ogo, a sheltered youngster, sees his Uncle turned into a marble rock, and must make friends and work with others to bring him to life again. This production is appropriate for all ages from tiny ones to discriminating grandparents. Although known as stories for the young, L. Frank Baum was way ahead of his time, with superstrong female characters, diversity as part of his storyline, and advanced technology – he has Glinda, Sorcerous of the South, invent wireless technology at the beginning of the story- and this was in 1913!
Louise Reichlin & Dancers, non-profit name – Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, has created over 100 works reviewed as “wildly theatrical & fun” and “wonderfully spirited with a zest for life”. Founded by Reichlin in 1979, Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers (LA C&D) creates and presents innovative dance works with imagination, feelings, and communication being the inspiration for every piece. Whether presenting a concert performance or enriching the lives of LA area students through arts education, we believe that our work sparks imagination, creativity, self-discovery, and empowers our diverse audience members to expand their understanding of life.
Two companies, Louise Reichlin & Dancers (modern) and Zapped Taps™/ Alfred Desio (tap) made up LA C&D until Desio’s death in 2007. Acknowledged as multi-cultural, we strive to reflect the diversity of the city in our dancers, board and staff.
The Patchwork Girl of Oz has played to sold out houses in 7 states and returns to Los Angeles where it all began.

EVENT #2-
The Tennis Dances (complete)
A Jewish Child’s Story
Celebrating 40 years of presenting soulful, imaginative dance that takes audience members on their own journey of self-discovery, Louise Reichlin & Dancers/ Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers presents an inspiring weekend filled with dance and multimedia, featuring a special program of The Tennis Dances (complete), and the Los Angeles premiere of A Jewish Child’s Story. It’s our 40th AnniversaryCelebration!
WHEN: October 19 & 20, 2019; 4:00 p.m.
TICKETS: $25 general admission; $20 for children 12 and under, seniors over 65, and DRC. Group sale of $60 for four tickets at $15 each. On Sunday only we have $40 admission + champagne reception to celebrate our 40th Anniversary.
HOW:
Buy tickets online or call 800-838-3006 to purchase. You may also call 213-385-1171 for more information or to make a reservation.
The 4:00 p.m. performances feature “A Jewish Child’s Story, Part I: A Dream The Roses on My Wallpaper “, an autobiographical dance multimedia work of early dreams from a granddaughter of Jewish immigrants and “Part 2: Yellow Star”.
This marks a Los Angeles premiere for the work, which was put on its theatrical feet by a grant from DCA’s LA Stage Advance, where the company was given the Madrid Theater and a crew for a week to get photos and a video to help see the piece more clearly, and which also helped the company put together marketing materials. The moving work has now been presented in Las Vegas, where it had its world premiere, in Santa Barbara and Culver City, and now arrives back for its Los Angeles premiere.
Also featured on the program is the full version of “The Tennis Dances” (’79). It remains Louise Reichlins most acclaimed work, with countless performances at outdoor festivals and major theaters for audiences of thousands, to small galleries and elementary school stages yet rarely has a chance to be seen in its entirety in Los Angeles. It provides an overview of modern society using tennis as a metaphor. The moods range from a lighthearted bluegrass section to a tennis match ritualized and fought to the death. The complete work is in eleven sections and 28′ and uses music by Fanshawe, Ives, Stravinsky, Mihaud, Sarkisian and Orff, as well as medieval and electronic scores.
From a few reviews:
-“Among the group pieces, Louise Reichlin’s Tennis Dances, for a dozen members of Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, had to be the most provocative. A potpourri that vaguely satirizes pomposity, exoticism, period cutesiness and contrived elegance, that probes ancient mystery and indulges contemporary whimsy – all with the unlikely but clever metaphor of racquets and nets.” Los Angeles Herald Examiner
-“(The program) ended brilliantly, thanks to Reichlin’s Tennis Dances, which dates back to 1979. In this ten-part suite the tennis court becomes a metaphor, of course, for life’s stage. And life, as Reichlin sees it, is indeed a stage, one crowded with a broad spectrum of attitudes. …Here is a choreographer who arguably picks up the feminist point of view where Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis left off. To observe the universe as it is inhabited by women, she harks back to ancient times and mythic symbols.” DanceMagazine
