      <image:title>News - The PADX England Delegation - Jennifer Grimm | American Jazz Vocalist</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jennifer Grimm is an American Jazz Vocalist, Composer, and Lyricist. An unparalleled live performer, Grimm was born into America’s last standing vaudeville family, performing everywhere from the casinos of Las Vegas to New York’s Birdland Jazz Club and Carnegie Hall. As a composer, recording artist, and producer, Grimm has found success with her original music placements on NBC, UNIVERSAL, SONY, and many more.    Grimm’s performance style harkens back to the Classic American Jazz Era of Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin, with an elegance and ease on stage that can only be earned from a lifelong relationship with entertainment.

      <image:title>News - The PADX England Delegation - Queen Esther | Black Americana &amp; Jazz</image:title>
      <image:caption>Queen Esther was raised in the unapologetically Black bastion of Atlanta, Georgia – ensconced in the vibrancy of the Black Arts Movement and the sonic undertow of the traditional Black church – while rooted in Charleston, South Carolina’s culturally rich and enigmatic Lowcountry, a region with African traditions and Black folkways that span centuries and deeply inform her work, Queen Esther embraces lost American history and wide-ranging and ever changing aural influences, while leaning heavily on the bluing of the note, creating reclamation-driven Black Americana. Her Southern penchant for storytelling entwines historical truths with personal anecdotes, blurring the past and present, embracing the connectedness of the human spirit.

      <image:caption>Staci Griesbach is a Los Angeles-based vocalist with a Signature Songbook Series of albums reimagining the Great American Songbook of Country Music in the style of Jazz with a growing catalog of original compositions. Currently, Griesbach just released “Asilomar,” an original bossa-nova inspired single.   Described as having “an instrument pitched between Rosemary Clooney sass and Diana Krall smokiness,” (Milwaukee Shepherd-Express), Griesbach has performed at Carnegie Hall (NYC), the Country Music Hall of Fame (Nashville), Catalina Jazz Club and Feinstein’s at Vitello’s (Los Angeles). Rolling Stone premiered “Walkin’ After Midnight” from her debut album, My Patsy Cline Songbook, calling it “gorgeous.” In 2020, Griesbach was selected for the SXSW Music Festival as a Showcasing Artist.

      <image:caption>TAIKOPROJECT was founded in 2000 in Los Angeles, California by a group of young, emerging Taiko drummers led by Bryan Yamami and Masato Baba. The group continues to define a modern American style of Taiko, blending traditional forms with an innovative and fresh aesthetic.   TAIKOPROJECT first made waves when they became the first American taiko group to win the prestigious Tokyo International Taiko Contest in 2005, besting all of the Japanese Taiko groups in the competition. That year, they were cast in the Mitsubishi Eclipse commercial, the first and still only national advertising campaign to prominently feature Taiko.  Image courtesy of Bryan Yamami</image:caption>

Over the past two decades, Dendê &amp; Band have performed at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles; the KW Latinfest in Canada; the Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia; the Kalalu Festival in Saint Lucia, Summerdance and Old Town School in Chicago the Lincoln Center Atrium in NYC among many others.

      <image:title>News - The PADX Spain Delegation - Queen Esther | Artist</image:title>
      <image:caption>Described as “the unknown queen of Americana” (LIRA), Queen Esther’s creative output musically is the culmination of several critical Southern elements, not least of which are years of recording and touring internationally as front-woman for several projects with her mentor, harmolodic guitar icon James ‘Blood’ Ulmer, including a stint in his seminal band Odyssey.  Raised in Atlanta, Georgia and rooted in Charleston, South Carolina’s culturally rich and enigmatic Lowcountry, a region with African traditions and Black folkways that span centuries and continue to inform her work, she embraces a deep and abiding love of lost American history along with her wide-ranging and ever changing sonic influences, as she leans heavily on the bluing of the note.

      <image:title>News - Event Preparedness Webinar Presented by The Performing Arts Readiness Project - About the Performing Arts Readiness Project</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Performing Arts Readiness project was formed in recognition of performing arts organizations being especially vulnerable to disasters and emergencies which can halt performances, sometimes indefinitely, and can put an organization out of business overnight. The project offers free webinars, on-site training, and presentations at professional conferences on various topics related to emergency preparedness. Check out their list of webinar offerings — including COVID-19-specific resources for performing arts organizations — here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Call for Artists: Black Voices Showcase</image:title>
      <image:caption>Photo: Artist Okaidja performs at the 2019 Black Arts @ WAA symposium in Los Angeles, Courtesy of Corporate Close Ups.   As part of the Arts Midwest + Western Arts Alliance 2020 Conference, WAA is extending a special invitation to US-based performing artists from the African diaspora, who self-identify as Black, to apply for one of six 15-minute showcase spots. The showcases will take place on the virtual platform, Pheedloop starting the first day of the Conference, Tuesday, October 6, 2020. Selected artists (or their representative) will receive a complimentary registration fee and the fee to showcase will be waived. WAA welcomes performing artists from all aesthetics and art forms, including musicians, hip-hop artists, spoken word artists, dancers, and performance groups. Artists who have showcased with WAA or Arts Midwest in the last two years will not be considered. The Black Arts @ WAA Committee will prioritize showcases that explore the themes of social justice, change, and activism. Application Requirements  Showcase performance video (up to 15 minutes) in the format of a YouTube or Vimeo link. (Due to limited time, we ask applicants to submit the showcase video that you plan to use for the conference. However, if you plan to do a live showcase, via Zoom, for example, we will coordinate with you directly to set it up on the Pheedloop platform.)    A 150-word showcase description  A 100-word short bio  A 150-word description of your current work  Notification of selection:  Friday, September 25th Please review the full program guidelines for more information on eligibility, best practices, and streaming platform compatibility.</image:caption>

"Blessed with both stage presence and striking technique, he whipped off cabrioles, tour jetés, tours en l’air and a coupé jeté menège with no break. His entrechat quatres and brisé volés were embroidered with épaulement. Even when he was just standing, his back to the audience, his powers of expression were impressive." (Dance Magazine) "A Greek God." (New York Times) After a career-ending injury, Joseph received a Next Generation Arts Leadership Grant to attend business school at City College of San Francisco. Hired as Company Manager at ODC/Dance in 2013, he is now the Associate Director of Artistic Planning, and oversees programming ODC’s 52 weeks of artistic activities. Outside of ODC, Joseph is the president of the board of directors for the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards &amp; Dance Through Time, sits on the Entertainment Committee of the BatterySF, is a member of the Dance/USA Dance Managers’ Council, and is on the advisory committee for Mark Foehringer Dance Project. He is a panelist for the San Francisco Arts Commission, is an alumni of Leadership SF, volunteers for political causes, and produces events at San Francisco street fairs, night clubs, and festivals. During COVID, Joseph has transitioned his skills to become a sought after designer, producer, and host for virtual events in the cultural sector.</image:caption>
