Images of Deterioration

What we remember depends on many parts of our brains working together. These parts can break apart or become unglued in one way or another. When this happens, memories can disappear, chewed up and devoured into obscurity. This work explores this moment, when the deposits of memory and language in the brain have been swept away.

The work is a collaborative project of Josie Cáceres (choreographer) and Víctor Hoyos, (Industrial Designer). The development of the exposition, its relationship with space, objects and light, weave together a network of communication between the artists, symbols and objects explored in the work.

This project is dedicated to the Rt. Rev. Adrián Cáceres, former Episcopal Bishop of Ecuador.

A CALL FOR VOLUNTEER HELP
WITH CHILDREN’S CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

We began a new season of the church year with Pentecost on Sunday, May 23rd. At that time, we started a new cycle of Godly Play exercises and Sunday School workshops.

Please consider volunteering to lead a class. The lessons are creative, flexible and very adaptive to your own strengths and comfort zones. Volunteers may preview the lessons well ahead of the Sunday on which you are volunteering, to ensure maximum familiarity with the theme of the session. Volunteers are welcome and needed for all three age groups: pre and kindergarten; elementary; and middle through high school.

If you have questions or convictions, please contact Cameron.

U2charist to Rock St. Stephen’s Hollywood

Please join us for a vibrant worship and communion service, in the Episcopal tradition, as we host our first U2charist at 7:00 PM on Saturday, April 24, 2010.

All music in this special service will consist of songs written and recorded by the Irish rock legends U2 and performed live by Dream Records/Universal recording artists I’m Okay You’re Okay.

The U2charist will follow the liturgical structure of an Episcopal Eucharist, but incorporate U2 classics like, “Pride” (In the Name of Love); “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”; “When Love Comes to Town” “One” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” among others.

The worship service is free and appropriate for all ages (subject to sonic volume sensitivity). All are welcome.

An offering will be dedicated to the Health Justice program of the nonprofit Jubilee Consortium, encouraging and empowering families in low income areas of metropolitan Los Angeles to become healthy and strong.

Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, the four-piece indie rock band, I’m Okay You’re Okay relocated to Los Angeles and is touring in support of its debut CD, “Presents…”. The record has reached #17 on Billboard Magazine’s Top New Artists chart. The band will sign and sell copies of their CD after the service.

Parking is free in the church lot at 6125 Carlos Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90028– one block north of Hollywood Boulevard and Gower.

Free and Open to the Public

Award-winning Reuters journalist Susan Zeidler will read, sign and discuss her debut novel, “The Practice Room” at St. Stephen’s Hollywood on Saturday, February 27 at 3:00 PM. Zeidler appears as a part of the parish’s ongoing Arts & Reconciliation series. Her visit will be of particular interest to teen readers.

“The Practice Room” tells the story of protagonist Zoey Browne, a young musician who discovers she has the ability to travel back in time through the power of music. Zoey embarks upon a magical journey into a musical world that transforms each time she returns, bringing her closer to uncovering secrets about her family and discovering things about herself she never believed were possible.

“The Practice Room” weaves history and music into a literary ride that takes the reader to settings as varied as Harlem in the 1930s, Woodstock in 1969, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and a 2002 rock concert in Los Angeles.

Zoey’s journey not only tells the story of one teen’s coming of age and growth as a musician, but also shows how music transcends all boundaries.

Author Susan Zeidler grew up in Baldwin, Long Island, where she developed an early love for the arts. As a musician, Susan has performed around the world in cities as varied as Oslo, Manhattan, and Los Angeles.

Susan holds a B.A. from State University of New York at Albany and an M.S. from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.

Admission to the event is free. Free parking is offered in the church lot at Carlos and Gower. St. Stephen’s is located at 6125 Carlos Avenue, Hollywood, 90028.
