Altadena Mutual Aid: Assemble (by filling out our contact form)! (link in bio!!!!) ///////// Alt Text ///////// Hi friends, Trade School, the project space we (Arden Stern and Casey Anderson) run in Altadena, CA, survived the recent wave of fires in our Altadena neighborhood. Due to quick action by our neighbors a small brush fire in our shared outdoor space was extinguished before it got out of control. Sadly, we are surrounded by ruins and the Eaton fires continue to burn. Trade School is a project spaced founded by organizers and we want to use our organizational skills to help contribute to aid efforts in the neighborhood. In order to help facilitate this we are asking any members of our local community who have expressed interest in helping Trade School specifically, or Altadena more generally, to fill out this form (link in bio!). We can collect and distribute your contact information to local organizations directly or we can liaise on your behalf on a case-by-case basis, simply indicate your preference on the form. There is much to do: pick up donations, deliver donations, drive folks to the doctor, help folks refill their prescriptions, and more. Please take a moment to fill this form out so we can get to work supporting our community. Love and solidarity, Arden and Casey #altadena #mutualaid

Sharon Chohi Kim & Daniel Paul Schubert Thursday, December 19th Doors 800PM Music 830PM $10 (NOTAFLOF) Sharon Chohi Kim and Daniel Paul Schubert present "Limbs," an evening-length performance of voice, movement, and instruments created with found wood and objects. Bios Sharon Chohi Kim Sharon Chohi Kim’s work as a voice artist, performer and composer includes immersive experimental opera, performance art, improvisation, sound art and site-specific space activation through movement and voice. As a Korean American female artist, I am interested in human connection across cultures and generations, transgenerational trauma of the Korean diaspora, and domestic and sexual violence. By engaging in the act of breathing as a right, I use the voice and body as a direct channel of protest and resistance. She fills spaces with sonic vibrations, exploring relationships between people and the space in which they occupy, inquiring into somatic and ancestral healing in humans and the earth. Through improvisation, she explores human and non-human states of being, enthusiastically discovering new ways in which her voice can sound. Sharon Chohi has performed with the LA Philharmonic, the Industry Opera Company, Long Beach Opera, MOCA, at Walt Disney Hall, the Broad Museum, the Getty Center and Villa, in caves, tunnels, mountains, gardens, and in water. / Daniel Paul Schubert Daniel Schubert’s interdisciplinary practice is driven by the land from where he lives, the materials he collects & his time spent over-the-road as a longhaul truckdriver. Schubert maintains a studio near where he was born in Los Angeles. /
