South South Bay Bay gubernatorial gubernatorial hopeful hopeful John John Chiang Chiang is is aa low-key low-key candidate candidate in in aa noisy noisy election election
L e t t e r s Vote for a Public Servant, Not a Narcissist Re: “Who Can Budget Like Brown?” Election Endorsements, May 24 Thank you for your endorsement of John Chiang for governor. Throughout his career on the State Board of Equalization, as
California State Controller and as California State Treasurer, John Chiang has proven that he works for the people of California — not for his own self-aggrandizement, as has been demonstrated by other candidates on the ballot. I hope others read The Argonaut editorial and follow its conclu-
sion: Vote for John Chiang for governor! Patty Boyle Playa Vista Sepulveda Isn’t Your Ashtray While driving to work northbound on Sepulveda Boulevard in the left lane, I usually get
stopped at the signal at Howard Hughes Parkway. I glance over at the median and see a few weeds growing around the edges of fake grass that’s covered with leaves and hundreds upon hundreds of cigarette butts. How disgusting! There are more discarded cigarette butts on the grass than there are leaves from the trees. Why do smokers see this area as an ash tray? Either cars no longer have ashtrays in them, or the smokers cannot stand the stench of their own smelly butts. Either way, it’s called littering — and it’s illegal. It’s an eyesore and a disgrace.
I see two solutions: The city can vacuum up the leaves and butts every couple days (which they will not do), or drivers can keep their butts in their cars. This is just another reason laws are passed to limit when and where people can smoke, due to inconsiderate smokers. Glen Kacena Westchester We Want to Hear from You! So do your neighbors.

A Stone’s Throw from Home Trump advisor Roger Stone has been antagonizing Maxine Waters ahead of Tuesday’s primary By Gary Walker It’s no secret that supporters of President Donald Trump would love to be rid of Rep. Maxine Waters (D- Los Angeles), one of the president’s most gleeful antagonists. Perhaps underscoring their aversion for the 14-term incumbent, Trump confidant and political strategist Roger Stone is lending support to one of Waters’ three Republican challengers in Tuesday’s primary election. Famous (or infamous, depending whom you ask) for his use of opposition research and aggressive campaign tactics, Stone wasted no time flinging mud at Waters while endorsing Torrance small business owner Omar Navarro during a campaign rally in the South Bay last year. “Omar is the kind of hardcharging young reformer that we need in Congress. He’s an honest man, whereas Maxine Waters may be the single most corrupt members of Congress,” Stone says in a YouTube video published last August. “She’s living high. She’s eating filet mignon while the people in Omar’s district are eating hamburger.” Stone was referring to ethics violation charges brought by a congressional committee in 2010 that alleged Waters had used her position to help a minority-owned bank in which her husband held stock secure a 2008 meeting with the Treasury Department about Great Recession bailout funds. What Stone and websites pushing the story last year — including newsoftrump.com, flagged by Facebook users as a fake news site, according to the Pulitzer Prize winning website politifact.com — is that the charges against Waters were dropped in 2012. Stone, meanwhile, is reportedly under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for potential ties with WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange in relation to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller recently subpoenaed Stone’s social media advisor and driver/ accountant, according to CNN. On May 19, former National PAGE 4 THE ARGONAUT May 31, 2018
Roger Stone and Omar Navarro at a South Bay campaign rally last year Security Advisor Michael Flynn — who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and is now cooperating with Mueller’s investigation — visited California to endorse Navarro at a Republican Party event in La Quinta, about 140 miles from Waters’ congressional district. Navarro has had to grapple with legal troubles of his own during the campaign — a September 2016 misdemeanor conviction for planting an electronic tracking device on his estranged wife’s car. The Waters campaign did not return numerous calls for this story. In an email statement to The Argonaut on May 18, Stone said: “The people of the 43rd [Congressional] District deserve better than poverty pimp Maxine Waters. While her district starves and lives in circumstances reminiscent of a Third World country... she sits pretty in a McMansion.” Navarro, who challenged Waters in 2016 and took 24% of the vote to her 76%, said Stone is his “political advisor” and has been “monumental in this campaign.” “He’s a controversial figure, but at the end of the day he knows the ins and outs of campaigning and people are going to vote for the candidate, and not who’s behind them,” Navarro said. “This time around, a lot of
people’s voices are being heard. Maxine Waters is going to have a tough time getting reelected in November.” Loyola Marymount University political science professor Michael Genovese said Stone’s attacks on Waters may draw some attention but are ultimately little more than a nuisance to the Waters’ campaign. “As the race was over before it began, this seems to me to be a case of ‘How can I raise a ruckus just to get a few digs into someone who absolutely drives the Republicans crazy?’ … Attacking her has a feel-good effect that satisfies the tribal impulse, yet gets you nowhere electorally,” he said. Barbara Ford, president of the Westchester – Del Rey Federation of Republican Women, is not a fan of Navarro and would be happier to see either of his fellow Republicans — film producer Frank DeMartini or Redondo Beach investment advisor Edwin Duterte — advance to a November runoff. “If they knew Omar they would not be endorsing him,” said Ford, who personally backs Duterte. She’s concerned about the charges against Navarro, whom she said has also “bad-mouthed local and state Republicans.” “My position is anyone but Omar,” she said.

Leading from Behind South Bay gubernatorial hopeful John Chiang is a low-key candidate in an election focused on noise
The Math Guy Of California’s gubernatorial candidates, Chiang was the only one to specifically reach out to The Argonaut to talk state politics. He and I walked-and-talked the length of Santa Monica Pier on a weekend morning in August, then headed separately to a park in West L.A. where Chiang received the very public endorsement of Rep. Ted Lieu (D - Torrance), who (quite opposite of Chiang) has become a national political star for trashing-talking Trump with aplomb. “I’m honored to endorse my friend John Chiang. He’s an amazing elected official,” Lieu told me before dashing off to trade barbs on CNN. “As a Board of Equalization member he sponsored more bills into law than any other member in state history; as state controller he made sure California did not default in the darkest days of the recession — helped save our credit rating. And then as state Treasurer he has helped shepherd our economy to the sixth largest in the world [fifth, as of three weeks ago]. He’s effective. He’s smart. He’s courageous.” Earlier on the pier, Chiang made a pitch for his campaign that I’d best PAGE 6 THE ARGONAUT May 31, 2018

By Joe Piasecki On paper, California State Treasurer John Chiang is arguably the most qualified among the six major candidates running for governor in Tuesday’s primary election. As treasurer and before that state controller and before that a member of the Board of Equalization, Chiang leads the pack in terms of government finance expertise and experience running a statewide office. The longtime Torrance resident hasn’t stumbled into any major scandals, and he comes off as a pretty likeable guy. But if polling is accurate (and it usually is, but not always – remember November 2016?), Chiang would do well to come in fourth behind a pair of ex-mayors who cheated on their wives while in office and a political newcomer pandering to the 30% of registered California voters who backed Trump. Why should we care? For one, Chiang’s predicament seems to say as much about us as it does about him. He’s a soft-spoken, contemplative guy who hesitates to make grand, sweeping pronouncements or take shots at political rivals (at least until this past month). Voters lining up behind Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, former L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa or Republican businessman John Cox seem to prefer grand, sweeping pronouncements and the occasional potshot. We reward boldness, and we don’t mind being divided.
the public affairs equivalent of the smart Asian kid stereotype. I wanted to see if he’d push back, but he didn’t. He embraced it. “Math is important. When you get the math wrong, people pay the price,” he said. “They got the math wrong in 2008-09, so people didn’t get tax refunds on time; the UC Board of Regents and Cal State trustees increased tuition on students. Math is money; money is tied to values. We’ve got to get the math right to make sure we protect California’s values.”
John Who? Chiang first took elected office in 1997, taking over for Rep. Brad Sherman (D – Los Angeles), for whom he had been chief of staff after getting his start in politics in the Santa Monica office of now-retired Democratic Rep. Mel Levine. Over his ensuing two decades in public office, Chiang was in the national spotlight twice — once for refusing to let Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cut state employee salaries to federal minimum wage in order to force state legislators to adopt a budget (Chiang won); then for withholding paychecks to state legislators to enforce a constitutional budget deadline. (Sued by legislators of his own party, Chiang lost.) John Chiang made Santa Monica Pier one of his earliest guberCompared to Newsom’s national natorial campaign stops before receiving the endorsement of headlines for being the first to grant popular local Congressman Ted Lieu same-sex marriage licenses (in 2004, when it was broadly unpopular) or describe as casting fiscal responsibility as housing tax credits, and that’s on top of Villaraigosa’s recession-era battles at a progressive value. the $4 billion bond already destined to city hall and bid to take over LAUSD “When you’re fiscally irresponsible,” he appear on the November 2018 ballot. schools, for most voters John Chiang is said, “you can’t be progressive.

Venice High Has a New Principal Following a six-month search that cast a wide net for community input on several candidates, LAUSD has selected Basset High School Principal Gabriel Griego to succeed Dr. Oryla Wiedoeft as principal of Venice High School, The Argonaut has learned. “It’s an honor to be selected to be the new principal at Venice High School. I think it’s a great school, and I want to keep their trend of high tests scores moving in the right direction,” said Griego, who starts with the new school year in August. “Student achievement will always be my No. 1 goal.” Griego has been in charge of Basset High in La Puente since 2014, taking that job after a probe into alleged questionable hiring practices and workplace harassment led to the reassignment and layoffs of several school district administrators. He and two other finalists visited
Venice High last month to speak to parents, faculty and community members as part of the LAUSD evaluation process. LAUSD Local District Superintendent Cheryl Hildreth, who made the decision to hire Griego, said all three candidates were very qualified but Griego’s experience at the high school level moved him to the top of the list. “I think that what he will bring to Venice will be not only the passion of instruction, but being a principal already will allow him to come and accelerate what’s already happening here with regard to student learning and achievement,” said Hildreth. Griego said he isn’t relocating from his home in West Covina to the Westside just yet. “Maybe after I retire I’ll move to the beach,” he said with a laugh. — Gary Walker
Disabled Worker Sues Marina Marketplace An AMC Dine-In Theatres Marina 6 employee with cerebral palsy is taking Villa Marina Marketplace to court, hoping to force the outdoor shopping mall to fix an elevator that has allegedly been broken for more than a year. Todd Williamson, 47, and attorney V. James DeSimone were expected to announce the civil rights lawsuit at a press conference on Wednesday. DeSimone was the attorney for the family of Brendon Glenn, the homeless man fatally shot by an LAPD officer near the Venice Boardwalk on May 5, 2015.The Los Angeles City Council settled with Glenn’s family for $4 million in 2016. According to a statement by DeSimone, the broken elevator
leaves Williamson trapped at work during lunch and work breaks. Walking from one end of the mall to the other takes the disabled greeter and ticket-taker about 12 minutes, meaning there’s no way he can make the round trip and return to work on time. “Defendant’s failure to treat Mr. Williamson on an equal basis caused Mr. Williamson physical hardship and suffering, and significant emotional distress, including humiliation and monetary loss,” states the 11-page complaint. DeSimone is seeking unstated compensatory damages and a jury trial.

Halibut Derby Returns to Marina del Rey … without Miss Halibut
Last year’s Halibut Derby winner Reggie Beauvais poses with his 27.8-pound catch and Miss Halibut 2017 Krystyn Lambert This weekend the Marina del Rey Anglers host their 43rd annual Halibut Derby, a fishing tournament that raises funds for the nonprofit’s white sea bass restoration program, youth fishing education program and veteran’s fishing trips. The Anglers host free fishing seminars from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday (May 31 and June 1) at Burton Chace Park, where derby participants weigh their catches at 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (June 2 and 3). Weigh-ins happen daily so that
anglers can return their catches to the sea — about 90% of fish caught during last year’s derby were released, and those who release their catch get a 20% weigh-in bonus, said Anglers board member Bruce Williams. Last year’s grand-prize winner caught a 27.8-pound halibut. The largest catch in recent memory was a 48.8-pound halibut in 2012. The event tends to draw between 100 and 200 participants and last year raised about $20,000 through entry fees ($85 this year), raffle ticket purchases and event sponsorships, Williams said. The angler with the biggest catch wins a fishing trip to Alaska. Responding to more diverse participation, there will be prizes for the top female, youth and kayak anglers, while the ceremonial presence of Miss Halibut — typically a young woman in a bathing suit who poses for photos with the winner and his catch — is on hiatus, new board members having elected to pause that tradition, Williams said. — Joe Piasecki
Wounded Veterans Begin 1,000-Mile Trek An international team of six wounded military veterans will depart from the Dockweiler State Beach on Saturday to begin a 1,000-mile walk to raise awareness and funding for those suffering from physical or mental injuries of war. Convened by the British nonprofit Walking with the Wounded under the patronage of Afghanistan combat veteran Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, the Walk of America pairs a Marine, Army National Guardsman and Air Force sergeant with
three members of the British armed services on behalf of charities in both countries. Participating veterans plan to meet with well-wishers and tell their stories from 9 and 10 a.m. Saturday (June 2) at the Dockweiler Youth Center (12505 Vista Del Mar, Playa del Rey) before departing toward San Diego. Actor Scott Eastwood, son of Clint Eastwood, will deliver opening remarks. — Joe Piasecki

Another model that is successful in generating far more beds than the model favored by traditional housing providers is the collaborative housing developed by SHARE!, a nonprofit that typically houses four former homeless people at a time in two-bedroom apartments, dormitory-style. While some city council members engage in surreal proposals to shelter all the homeless by December of this year, I believe the city should redirect the bulk of HHH funds to replace the roughly 10,000 SRO that have been lost. It is clear that the city can house many thousands more in SROs than with the traditional one-bedroom, 600-squarefoot model or even 350-square-foot efficiency apartments. The city should also set a limit on what it will pay for land so that the most efficient use is made of every HHH dollar. For example, city officials should abandon plans to put 136 apartments — of which more than half would be 600 square feet or larger — on city-owned land one block from Venice Beach, some of the priciest land in Los Angeles. This land at Venice and Pacific avenues, currently an expansive city parking lot for beach visitors, could fetch maybe $50 million to $90 million if sold, depending on the building entitlements the city allowed a developer. Nonprofits granted these funds could build six times as many SRO units on less-expensive land elsewhere in the city, which would house 816 people instead of just 136. To honor both those who are languishing on the street and homeowners who voted in good faith to tax themselves in order to house the homeless, city leaders should make an immediate course correction and downsize the footprints of affordable housing units in order to increase the number of homeless who can be housed.

Mesozoic monsters mount a comeback in “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”
The Top 10 Most-Anticipated
Summer Movies From a Spike Lee cop thriller to a murder mystery with puppets, there’s a lot more than superheroes heading to local theaters By Daniel Barnes For all the unforgivable sins of the much-lamented “Star Wars” prequels, give George Lucas credit for one thing: he never screwed with Han Solo. At no point in Episodes I through III did we see a smudge-faced street urchin version of Han running petty scams with his Chewbacca puppy, and thus the smuggler’s cocky yet bumbling coolness remained canon. The current Star Wars franchise shepherds at Disney, on the other hand, could care less what legacies they tarnish, so long as they get a steady of stream of product. Ron Howard’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story” officially dropkicked the 2018 summer movie season into infamy over Memorial Day weekend, but here are 10 other reasons to get excited about the multiplex over the next few months.
American Animals (June 1)
This true-crime story marks the feature directing debut of Bart Layton, who delivered the criminally underseen 2012 true-crime doc “The Imposter.” Promising young actors Evan Peters and Barry Keoghan headline as bored suburban kids attempting a lucrative heist, and if the film’s electrifying trailer is any indication, “American Animals” looks like “Bottle Rocket” blended with “Fargo.”
weak summer for family-friendly fare (“Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation,” no one?).
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 22)
The 2015 amusement park blockbuster “Jurassic World” was nothing to get excited about, but my bar for dinosaur movies is notoriously low, so I’m ready for another ride. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard reteam in the leads, but terrible director Colin Trevorrow has The Incredibles 2 (June 15) been replaced by slightly less terrible Licking his wounds from the box office director J.A.

that was 2015’s “It Follows,” I’m lining up to watch whatever writer-director David Robert Mitchell has to offer next. It doesn’t hurt at all that the sun-dazed “Under the Silver Lake” looks like a millennial version of “Inherent Vice,” or that the wonderful Riley Keough co-stars alongside reformed Spider-Man Andrew Garfield.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (June 29)
A “Sicario” sequel made without original star Emily Blunt and original director Denis Villeneuve might seem a little shoddy and suspicious, but my hopes are bolstered by the return of screenwriter Taylor Sheridan, the participation of Benicio del Toro and (Continued on page 12)

franchise, although this is the first time he has worked with the same director twice. Christopher McQuarrie also wrote and directed 2015’s “Rogue Nation,” and “Fallout” appears to pick up where that one left off. Henry Cavill joins the cast, sporting the mustache that launched a million pixels of nightmarish facelift CGI in “Justice League.”
Mile 22 (Aug. 3)
Director Peter Berg and star Mark Wahlberg previously teamed up for the surprisingly good “Deepwater Horizon” and then again for the surprisingly good “Patriots Day,” so even though as of press time no trailer exists for this story of an American intelligence officer under fire overseas, I’m willing to bet on their penchant for muscular action.

I will take anything I can get — even the latest provocation from the perennially overrated Spike Lee. John David Washington, who as a child briefly appeared in Lee’s 1992 classic “Malcolm X,” plays Ron Stallworth, an African-American cop who infiltrated the Colorado Springs chapter of the KKK in 1979. Topher Grace co-stars as David Duke, which is just crazy enough to work.
The Happytime Murders (Aug. 17)
Details surrounding this latest film from longtime Muppets movie director Brian Henson are still somewhat shadowy, but it sure sounds like a “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” for puppets. Here’s what we have: In an alternate universe where humans and puppets uneasily co-exist, a hard-boiled detective investigates a string of murders in the entertainment industry. I’ll bite.

They’re the Life of the Party With fermented cocktails, live music and a killer brunch menu, Middlebar is helping a neighborhood find its center
Inglewood officials urged Corrie Scully and Renie Schoenkerman to turn their live/work space into a public restaurant
By Richard Foss Middlebar
129 N. Market St., Inglewood (323) 454-7577 middlebar.com My first question about Middlebar was “The middle of what?” It’s all by itself at the quiet north end of Market Street in Inglewood, near the intersection of Florence and LaBrea, without another watering hole in sight. Talk with owners Corrie Scully and Renie Schoenkerman and you’ll discover that the name has everything to do with the restaurant’s unusual origins. They used to host parties in this space while running another business, and … well, let’s let Corrie tell it: “We moved into this space in 2014 and used it as a kitchen to produce our farm-fresh cocktail mixers, which we sold mainly at farmer’s markets. What is now the restaurant was the middle of our apartment, and we had a little speakeasy kind of bar where we entertained our friends. We used to have another bar at the front of the space, but somehow everybody liked to hang out at the one in the middle, so when we opened to the public
we just called it Middlebar.” The transition from a combination living space and cocktail mix factory to a café with live jazz wasn’t something they planned. Corrie and Renie were doing well selling their mixes at farmers markets when they heard that city officials wanted to talk to them. A message like that usually strikes fear into the heart of small business owners, but it turned out to be a surprising request. “The city of Inglewood wants to bring life to this end of Market Street, and the mayor had a vision of how to revitalize it. He wants to do here what they did in Santa Monica — make it a promenade — and they were excited to have a place that was all about gathering and relaxing. They suggested we ought to open to the public. We thought, OK, what would that be like?” What it’s like is a neat, homey place that crosses country parlor with jazz club. A small stage sits in one corner with a communal table across from it, with private tables near the front windows. There are more tables outside, where you don’t have to worry about noise because cars pass by only rarely. The only traffic seems to be people
coming to Middlebar, which makes Mayor James Butts’ support feel prescient. The menu straddles Southern Californian and Louisiana, a combination that suits the upbringing of the partners — Renie grew up in the area, and Corrie is from New Orleans. You’ll find a coffee-crusted top sirloin and Moroccan tagine-style salmon, but also a po-boy sandwich as well as shrimp Rockefeller. Though many Inglewood residents have ties to the South, the steak and the salmon are among the best-selling items. I tried two Southern items on my first visit: deviled eggs topped with fried oysters, and fried green tomatoes topped with maque choux (Creole vegetable mix) with a side of remoulade sauce. Fried green tomatoes are a seasonal item, but a must-have when offered. The remoulade was spicy but not aggressively hot; a perfect companion to the vegetables. The deviled eggs had a mild kick of spice too, and the contrast of cool eggs topped by freshly fried oyster was a delight. On a return visit for brunch we started with a croissant from (Continued on page 14)

Frog’s bakery, a local operation that only sells at farmers markets, followed by a pair of innovative breakfast items. Middlebar’s pan-crepe is made with ricotta cheese so that it has a crisp, caramelized exterior and a delicate, spongy interior. It came filled with cream cheese and topped with powdered sugar and fresh berry compote, and plated with an egg and bacon was a delightful start to the day. Diners can choose pork or beef bacon, and if you haven’t tried beef bacon you should consider it — while it is a bit more fatty, the smoky flavor is delicious. Pulled-pork Benedict tops the classic poached eggs on toast with house-made barbecue sauce. I liked the crepe slightly more than the benedict, but that’s because I’m a traditionalist who likes hollandaise but is too lazy to make it. Their version is still an enjoyable open-face sandwich of eggs and tender pork topped with barbecue sauce and served with coleslaw. Mention should also be made of the cocktails, and the products that got Middlebar started in the

first place. The restaurant operates under a beer and wine license, so instead of liquors Corrie and Renie use a variety of fermented alcohols flavored to mimic traditional gins, rums or whiskies. It’s a remarkably effective tactic, and even worked with classics like an old-fashioned. Renie says that making low-alcohol drinks has pushed them to be more creative, and now they wouldn’t particularly want to offer high-alcohol drinks even if they could. “We’re pushing our beer-andwine license as far as it can go,” she says, “so we make our drinks using vermouths and other items

Middlebar’s low-alcohol bloody mary recipe may be better than the original
that are not classified as liquor. We amplify the flavors with bitters, so there are some tweaks, but we treat the classics with respect. I think the low alcohol content is great — you can hang around and have social drinks without being smashed. It really goes to our mission of gathering and having fun rather than being wasted. I think that these fermented spirits are going to take off, and a lot of places that only have beer-andwine licenses are going to start using them.” They work exceptionally well in Middlebar’s Bloody Mary, which won a cocktail competition when pitted against standard versions. The drinks may be mild, but along with the good food and live music, they’re a potent attractor to the area. “We hear from people all the time saying thanks for doing this here, so I don’t have to go to the Westside or Culver City. They like being able to enjoy this here, in Inglewood,” says Corrie. “When the door is open and there’s music on the street, it changes the energy of the whole neighborhood.”

Sand, Sea and Stage Beach Dances brings a week of cutting-edge performances to Santa Monica By Christina Campodonico Dance enthusiasts are in for a treat at the Annenberg Community Beach House starting this Monday. As part of Beach Dances, some of L.A.’s most exciting dancers and choreographers will be rehearsing and performing on a sand-level platform at the beach house — creating “an open studio,” where anyone can observe and see the creative process unfold upon Santa Monica’s sandy shores. No)one Art House — one of a few completely black-run contemporary dance companies in the country — kicks off the performance half of the series on June 4 with choreographer Chris Emile’s “Right & L3FT” at 4:30 p.m. The group has received the seal of approval from Solange Knowles (Beyoncé’s sis) and is emerging as a barrier-breaking force for contemporary dance out of the West Adams district. Choreographer Rebecca Bruno, the founder of homeLA (a collective of artists that performs in private spaces throughout Los Angeles) and a prior Annenberg Beach House choreographer-in-residence, follows that up with a gently guided “Movement and Awareness” workshop
system; and Arrogant Elbow’s Sarah Elgart, who takes a cinematic approach to her dance works on film and IRL. Finally, L.A. choreographer and former Annenberg Beach House choreographerin-residence Jay Carlon — whose visceral work will touch your rawest nerve in the best way possible — caps off the series with presentations of his new work “Four Triangles” at 6:30 p.m. next Friday, Saturday and Sunday (June 8, 9 and 10.) Last time Carlon took up residence at the beach house, he populated its shores with dancers falling into the cresting waves and walking through the sands in golden emergency blankets — a nod to the Syrian refugee crisis. He also has the uncanny ability to transform any space he works in, whether it’s the stage of Highways Performance Space or the parking lot of the Electric Lodge, into magical landing pads for dance. Expect the unexpected. Transformative choreographer Jay Carlon closes out the festival from 6 to 7 p.m. The remainder of the week features visits from the likes of virtuosic mover Mecca Vazie Andrews, artistic director of The MOVEMENT movement and vocalist
with the Alison Wolfe-fronted punk band the Sex Stains; Scripps College dance professor Suchi Branfman, who has brought the power of dance to incarcerated men in the California state prison
Beach Dances happens at various times from June 4 to June 10 at the Annenberg Community Beach House, 415 Pacific Coast Hwy., Santa Monica. Free, but RSVP. Check beachdances2018.eventbrite.com for times and updates.
