Create Now is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1996 that transforms the lives of high-risk and at-risk youth through creative arts mentoring, education, resources and opportunities.

We have initiated a unique international program called Arts xChange that will bring together 16 Hutu and Tutsi youth in Rwanda with 16 rival Bloods and Crips in Los Angeles through our Introduction to Art Workshop. Teams of youth will be meeting online weekly for 15-18 weeks to discuss issues of violence, poverty, conflict and acceptance. Create Now will provide them with materials to create drawings, paintings, sculptures and videos. The program will culminate with art exhibitions in Kigali, Rwanda and an art gallery in Beverly Hills.

"DANCE, OPERA, DRAW"

Show Details:
Pasadena Armory for the Arts
Saturday, February 11, 2012, 6-9pm
(performance will be around 830-9pm)

Project:
Without being too specific, I am looking to put on a performance at the opening of the solo exhibition that will be a maximum of 30 minutes, time yet to be determined. I need a female opera singer performing very aggressive sounding lyrics and then two dancers will respond to her. The performers will be making a drawing at the same time the singer is performing. They will be dancing on a bed of dusted charcoal resting on a canvas, which will be a large component to the performance.

Compensation:
There is a honorarium.
