Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, La Pocha Nostra will create and produce Homeland (In)Security, a live performance whose goal is to highlight – via the language of spoken word – current concerns in relation to immigration and the politics of language. The piece will be devised by La Pocha Nostra’s three-member core ensemble, together with 7 invited spoken word artists and performers.
Organization Summary
Founded in 1993, LPN’s goal is to provide a home for a loose network of rebel artists from various disciplines, generations and ethnic backgrounds, who share our desire to move the “other” from the margins of storytelling to its center.
Projects range from performance solos and duets to large-scale multi-media performances created by changing combinations of the eight performance artists who currently comprise LPN’s performance troupe, along with guest artists from around the world. These collaborations reflect our desire to dissolve borders surrounding culture, ethnicity, gender, language, and métier. LPN’s most significant contribution to the contemporary arts field has been in the hybrid realm of performance/installation.
