Vista Del Mar's latest addition, the Glorya Kaufman Performing Art Center, is ready to welcome artists with its new programming. It aims to become a force in the L.A. arts scene.
The choreographer’s Emmy-nominated “Jibaro” episode of “Love, Death & Robots” distinctly explores fluidity and destruction.The partnership program between the newly opened center and the preexisting USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance was a two-year process. Emerging dance artists, like those graduating from the school, often take a patchwork approach to their careers by working freelance across stage and screen.
USC’s dance school already has pre-existing partnerships with LAUSD, called Kaufman Connections, that offer hip-hop classes to elementary school students. Silkin’s direction is one reason why USC wanted to partner with the center, Ritter says. Vista Del Mar President and CEO Lena Wilson believes that art forms such as dance, music and theater help students express themselves and heal through trauma.The programs all support dance artists in Los Angeles but that may not always be the case in the future. Silkin plans to expand programs to other forms, like music and theater. “It’s really not limiting partnerships, but allowing that door to be open to multiple partnerships,” she says.
The interior of the Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center is inspired by the Martha Graham solo “Lamentation,” in which the renowned choreographer creates geometric lines and shapes while confined in an elastic garment, architect Brian Wickersham says.
