Award-Winning Hollywood Choreographer And Dancer To Debut New Story Ballet In Santa Monica
The LA contemporary ballet company REALM founded by CHASEN GREENWOOD presents its first full-story ballet with a nod to fantastical films and an original score by musical protégé Taylor Briggs
SANTA MONICA, California — The Westside Ballet Black Box Theatre presents a brand-new live ballet, The Phoenix, written and produced by Chasen Greenwood October 22 and 29.
Chasen Greenwood is a rising star in the world of theatrical performance. In recent years, he’s gone from winning the title of Regional Dance America Southwest’s “Best Young Choreographer” to performing in and choreographing Hollywood movies. Along the way, he has collaborated with Lady Gaga’s choreographer, Richy Jackson, for a Superbowl-screened Xbox TV commercial. In 2024, his choreography will appear in the Al Pacino starring movie Billy Knight. Working on the production of this movie in 2023 was a major undertaking, yet he also found time to write and direct a brand new story ballet, which debuts on October 22nd at the new Westside Ballet Black Box Theatre. A second performance is also scheduled for October 29th.

Art Walk mixer every first Thursday in San Pedro
August 3, 2023 § Leave a comment
My Art Walk mixer is on again tonight at Bocca Felice in San Pedro. It takes place every first Thursday at 6 to coincide with downtown’s art walk experience. Live music is onsite and galleries to walk through are everywhere. Lots of beautiful boutiques and bookstores too.
RSVP for free at this Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mixer-for-entertainment-professionals-tickets-451368123207?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
Between 30 to 50 people attend to take in the scene. Everyone is welcome.
Downtown San Pedro is LA’s historic little Italy. So, you can count on quality Italian cuisine at Bocca Felice and La Siciliana a few doors down.
Networking tips include saying hi to anyone at the bar, that’s HQ for this event series. Have a glass of water or a beer and have a good time with locals.
