Saturday, May 18, 2024 | 6:00 PM-9:00 PM
Titled “Herald In, Examine Throughout,” this transformative experience will unfold along DTLA’s Broadway Street, where HDD’s FlowMasters will guide attendees through a captivating journey. 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, attendees will be treated to 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.
Presented by Heidi Duckler Dance, this trans-disciplinary performance will immerse 200 attendees in a fusion of dance, music, and multimedia enveloping the iconic Herald Examiner Building on May 18, 2024. 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. With an original score by Jessie Cox and Heidi Duckler’s innovative choreography, these collaborative performances will traverse diverse narratives and foster connections among the vibrant communities that coexist downtown.
