Harmony Holiday takes weekly dance classes led by choreographer Bernard Brown as part of her exhibition SPECTACULAR BROODING. Visitors are welcome to observe or participate every Wednesday at noon through July 5.

For CRY VARIATIONS, a newly created work for this exhibition, Holiday converts half of the gallery into a dance studio, in which she’ll work on the creation of a new solo. Her dance will draw inspiration from iconic works by black American choreographers Alvin Ailey, Judith Jamison, Bill T. Jones, and Robert Battle, as well as gestures of black performance and everyday life in digital culture.

📢 JUST ANNOUNCED 📢

The Broad and REDCAT present two stagings of Yoko Ono’s iconic performances as part of The Broad’s special exhibition YOKO ONO: MUSIC OF THE MIND.

As noted in the Los Angeles Times, the exhibition includes the “re-creation of two of Ono’s groundbreaking performance art works, including 1964’s iconic 'Cut Piece,' which Ono originally performed in Kyoto and Tokyo, before staging its American debut at Carnegie Hall. During that show, Ono sat silently onstage while members of the audience slowly snipped away pieces of her clothes. 'Cut Piece' will be revived this summer by performance and visual artist MPA at REDCAT.“

The evening also includes SKY PIECE TO JESUS CHRIST, performed by Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, featuring a six-piece classical music ensemble being slowly wrapped in gauze until the musicians can no longer play their instruments.

Grammy Award-winning PARTCH Ensemble returns to REDCAT 6/26–6/27!

Specializing in the music of iconoclastic composer Harry Partch, the ensemble will debut newly constructed, custom-built replicas of instruments designed by Partch in their annual survey of his music.

The evening begins with excerpts from the rarely heard Partch piece, "On the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma”—a kaleidoscope of swirling timbres that amazes with the composer’s multiple exposure technique—and concludes with the “Prologue” & “Epilogue” from Partch’s midcentury piece, "The Bewitched." New compositions include a solo setting of one of Partch's favorite Chinese poets (Li Po, 701-762 C.E.) and the world premiere of Daniel Corral's "Parable of the Bitter."

“I think so much of RHEOLOGY is about recognizing that my time with my mom is finite. I’m literally trying to invent time. I’m using theater—holding onto my mom and forcing her to spend time with me the way that a kid would by making their mom play with them,” Shayok Misha Chowdhury told during a discussion about his play.

At REDCAT June 11–13, RHEOLOGY stars Chowdhury and his real-life mother, Bulbul Chakraborty. A celebrated physicist, Chakraborty won an Obie award for her deeply personal performance in RHEOLOGY.

Cameron and her legendary alter ego return to REDCAT for an evening of performance, film, and readings celebrating her new memoir.

Born in India, writer, director, and performer Shayok Misha Chowdhury creates innovative theater that often explores family, language, and inheritance across generations. For RHEOLOGY, at REDCAT June 11–13, he collaborates with his physicist mother on a genre-defying new play.

“Shayok Misha Chowdhury is always a theater artist to keep an eye on, whether he’s directing or writing,” notes New York Magazine, which named RHEOLOGY one of its “16 Plays and Musicals We Can’t Wait to See in 2026.” Chowdhury is the recipient of an Obie Award and a Whiting Award; his play PUBLIC OBSCENITIES was a finalist for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

Chowdhury describes himself as “many-tentacled.” In addition to his work in the theater, he is also an award-winning music-maker and poet. Those aspects all animate RHEOLOGY, and we’re thrilled to present the West Coast premiere of this ambitious new play racing against time and mortality.
