"Call From the Afterlife" was originally conceived by Linda J. Albertano, who created the sound score and contacted Louise to realize the choreography. A poet, on turning 71, is visited by 4 apparitions who urge him to come to the next life - a Ballerina Clown who charms, Marilyn Monroe as an angel who seduces, the devil herself as a Flamenco Dancer, and a Bedouin belly dancer as the grim reaper.
We are using this week at the donated theatre for both a video shoot and to share the two works we are recording.
This activity at the Madrid Theatre is funded in part by The National Endowment for the Arts and The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. The work is made possible in part by a WORD Artist Grant, the Bruce Geller Memorial Prize. "WORD is a program of American Jewish University's Institute for Jewish Creativity, a program supported through a generous Cutting Edge Grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles. WORD's Artist Grants, Bruce Geller Memorial Prizes, are made possible by the late Jeanette Geller in memory of her husband Bruce.
