Herald In, Examine Throughout
2024-05-18 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Proper Hotel-DTLA, 1100 S. Broadway, Los Angeles, CA, 90015
We are delighted to announce our biggest performance of the year, taking place against the stunning backdrop of the Herald Examiner Building and inside the Downtown LA Proper Hotel on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
“Herald In, Examine Throughout,” will unfold along Broadway Street between 11th and 12th downtown, closed to the public, but open with 20 artists and musicians, including a grand piano for one night only! Collaborating with Keith Thompson of Arizona State University’s School of Music, Dance, and Theatre, this project seeks to illuminate the socioeconomic disparities in Downtown Los Angeles while chronicling the city’s ongoing evolution.
From witnessing elegant roller-skating dancers adorned in exquisite ball gowns, and intricate cut-out installations by the talented visual artist, Jazmín Urrea, to experiencing live music featuring indigenous instruments, unique drum beats, and old-school boomboxes, the audience will travel on a clockwise journey throughout the breathtaking multimedia performances.
The Herald Examiner Building, a historic landmark erected in 1913, serves as a poignant symbol of Downtown Los Angeles’ rich history, encompassing its rise, fall, and ongoing redevelopment. Drawing inspiration from this storied past, “Herald In, Examine Throughout” aims to spark civic engagement across generations by reinvigorating tales of Downtown Los Angeles in captivating and thought-provoking ways, while also celebrating the city’s thriving artistic community.
