As the performance ended, a single dancer at the center of the stage held on to the subtle choreography of the groove, swiftly dashing their feet under them. Set to music by Stevie Wonder, the piece depicted tumultuous and loving connections through the choreography.

While a congregation of performers followed a balletic phrase, a few dancers broke away from the group and dove into fast-paced grooves that had a dash of house dance styles. Loving Well.” by Hope Boykin was equal parts athletic and expressive. On Friday, I went to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills to see “ USC Kaufman Returns to the Wallis.” The night was filled with some incredible premieres for the dance world. Details on the exhibition and how to view can be found on the Future Perfect’s website. “Forgotten Lore” can be viewed at Goldwyn House until June 16. There’s a sense of rebellion and authenticity in the reinterpretations of slurs he creates. McGough shared that he finds pride in the charged work. It’s the physical embodiment of negative phrases being thrown at the community to cause harm. Its presence reclaims the word and upholds a reminder of protest at the center of LGBTQ+ liberation. An impactful part of the exhibition is “Faggot Bricks,” an installation of 14 bricks stacked throughout the exhibition with the slur painted over it in various fonts and colors. In the visceral vocabulary, there is a point of growth - of beauty. The same goes for “Forgotten Lore.” Paintings portray intricate details of nature, from spider webs to butterflies, while a font made up of a wood texture spells out words. His paintings often portray words used against the LGBTQ+ community, subverted in picturesque ways. The preview began with a discussion between McGough and Mayer Rus, the West Coast editor of Architectural Digest, which offered a look into his artistic voice. On Wednesday I went to the Future Perfect’s Goldwyn House in Hollywood Hills to check out the gallery’s latest show, “ Forgotten Lore” by artist Peter McGough.

The play is written and devised by the core of the Latino Theater Company - Sal Lopez, Evelina Fernández, Lucy Rodriguez, José Luis Valenzuela and Geoffrey Rivas. The play centers around Chicana starlet Veronica Del Rio just as a surprise visit from a policeman threatens her disappearance as she reaches the age of 75. Latino Theater Company’s world premiere of “ Whittier Boulevard” tells the story of Los Angeles in 2042 after the totalitarian city-state forces the elderly population out of existence. In the not-so-distant future, laws protecting human rights have been dismantled and the history of L.A. More details can be found on Blum & Poe’s website. The gallery will also have a group exhibition titled “ By Any Means Necessary,” curated by Dial’s friend and fellow artist Lonnie Holley, that will be in conversation with “Handwriting on the Wall.” The exhibition can be viewed until June 10 and the free gallery is open from 10 a.m. This recommendation comes from The Times’ Carolina A. And in the piece “ Garden of Eden,” Dial shares his meditation on mortality right before his death in 2016. The exhibition incorporates his paintings and assemblage pieces made up of found materials, retelling Black American history from Jim Crow to the first Black president. “ Handwriting on the Wall” showcases the Alabama artist’s work that encapsulates the Black experience in the South. ‘Thornton Dial: Handwriting on the Wall’īlum & Poe in Mid-City presents Thornton Dial’s first major solo exhibition in Los Angeles.
