Experience the magic of this momentous presentation during a virtual premiere of the program on Wednesday\, April 20\, at 7 pm. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nFeaturing Shea Pierre; Alfred Jordan\, Jr.; Xavier Molina; Max Moran; John Maestas; Gladney; Amari Ansari; and Cubs the Poet. With additional credits to Francis Wong\, Camille Lenain\, Meghan Stewart\, and Amina Scott. \nSet a Reminder to Watch on YouTube \n\n\nPerformance Credits and Performer Bios\n\n\n\n\nSteve Lands\nHailing from the city of Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Steve Lands has been swaying stages\, clubs\, bars\, museums\, houses-of-worship\, and studios the world over for more than a decade now. He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from working with great artists from all walks of life. His experience ranges from shows with R&B/gospel Grammy winner PJ Morton; doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and tours through Europe with Swiss pianist and composer Florian Favre to studio sessions with the Black Keys; jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters; playing in big bands with Ellis\, Jason\, Branford\, and Delfeayo Marsalis; and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire. Courage and care are his motivations for music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.\n\n\n\n\nShea Pierre\nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Shea Pierre started his musical journey at the age of 4. He joined his family’s gospel group\, the Williams Sisters\, and began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area. He later attended the prestigious New Orleans Center of Creative Arts\, where he studied with Michael Pellera\, Chris Severin\, Ellis Marsalis\, and Jason Marsalis. While in high school\, he toured parts of South Africa with the Batiste Brothers Band from New Orleans. Shea is a 2014 graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, where he studied jazz piano with Dan Wall. He continues to travel and engage in different projects throughout the Midwest.\n\n\n\n\nAlfred Jordan Jr.\nBorn in New Orleans in 1993\, Alfred Jordan Jr.’s parents noticed the gift that was on their son. Growing up in church\, gospel music played a huge part in molding him as a drummer. Alfred’s skill sprouted\, awarding him a full scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music graduating with a B.A. Alfred’s love for music turned into his profession\, landing his gig as the current drummer for Big Sam’s Funky Nation and has also been fortunate to work with Donald Harrison\, Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Kent Jordan as well as his collective projects NwaSoul Project and Bignatiouss. Alfred is forever grateful knowing this is “for the love of music.”\n\n\n\n\nXavier Molina\nWe have watched Xavier Molina grow as an artist since 2006 when he first picked up the trumpet. Xavier has blossomed into a singer/songwriter\, drummer and trumpeter with a heart dedicated to making great music. Xavier has played with several independent bands in the New Orleans\, Atlanta and Alabama areas\, and never ceases to amaze the audiences anywhere.\n\n\n\n\nMax Moran\nMax Moran is a Louisiana born musician and composer who has become a first-call bassist across several genres in New Orleans’ thriving music scene. Known for his versatility on electric bass\, upright bass\, and synthesizer\, Moran provides a solid\, soulful foundation to a number of classic and progressive bands. Performing since the age of thirteen\, Max Moran spent over ten years as the bassist of jazz master Donald Harrison and has also shared the stage with artists such as Davell Crawford\, Leo Nocentelli (The Meters)\, Bernie Worrell (Parliament/ Funkadelic)\, and Grammy nominees Christian Scott and Jamison Ross.\n\n\n\n\nJohn Maestas\nGuitarist John Maestas was born in Albuquerque\, New Mexico and is now based in New Orleans. He started his career first as a sideman to many inspiring contemporary young artists performing original music\, while also accompanying and learning from New Orleans legacy artists who keep the traditions of their city’s music alive and thriving. He has become known as a versatile music producer working in studios writing\, recording & performing songs for world-class artists including Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Jamison Ross\, Wendell Brunious\, MonoNeon\, John “Papa” Gros\, Elzhi\, Nesby Phips\, Fiend and many others. In 2016 he co founded the independent record label Bubble Bath Records with 3 other friends that helps to educate\, elevate & empower over twenty young artists who need support in navigating the music industry. “The Dream Catcher”\, the debut album from Maestas’ alt-rock band Juan Tigre\, is music inspired by the iconic high desert imagery of New Mexico and imbued with the expansive folklore of the Southwest.\n\n\n\n\nGladney\nGrammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and composer Gladney is a leading contemporary exponent of the saxophone. A 6th generation native of New Orleans’s Lower 9th Ward\, Gladney has performed and traveled professionally since the age of 12. Along with his work with The Rumble and the Jake Shears Band (Scissor Sisters)\, Gladney leads his own self-titled band and is preparing to release his debut EP and album this year.\n\n\n\n\nAmari Ansari\nAmari Ansari brings a fresh voice to the saxophone. The son of a gospel pianist\, the Alabama native credits his earliest interest in music to southern gospel and the late Alabama jazz educator Dr. Frank Adams Sr. Upon moving to New Orleans in 2009\, he was the recipient of the University of New Orleans’ Ellis Marsalis Jazz Scholarship where he would go on to graduate with a Master’s Degree in Music. This introduction to the Marsalis family led him to meet NEA Jazz Master Delfeayo Marsalis\, eventually becoming a long time member of the Marsalis led band the Uptown Jazz Orchestra. With his feature on Marsalis’ 2019 release\, Jazz Party \, Downbeat Magazine called Amari’s style\, “Hank Crawford meets Maceo Parker.”\n\n\n\n\nCubs the Poet\nCubs the Poet has been writing poems since 1989. Later in life\, he studied psychology in school and began thinking for himself. It wasn’t long before he decided to study life outside of the classroom. He began typing poems on a typewriter\, in the middle of the French Quarter on Royal Street\, in New Orleans\, Louisiana. He is now an artist-in-residence at the Columns Hotel and his Poetraits blend portraiture and poetry.\n\n\n\n\nFrancis Wong\nFrancis Wong grew up in the New Orleans area and escaped into art from a young age. He attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and attended the University of New Orleans studying fine art and film.

While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nFeaturing Shea Pierre; Alfred Jordan\, Jr.; Xavier Molina; Max Moran; John Maestas; Gladney; Amari Ansari; and Cubs the Poet. With additional credits to Francis Wong\, Camille Lenain\, Meghan Stewart\, and Amina Scott. \nPerformances take place in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts on Friday\, February 18\, and Saturday\, February 19\, at 8 pm. \nTickets are $30 | $25 for members \nBuy Tickets \n  \n\n\nPerformance Credits and Performer Bios\n\n\n\n\nSteve Lands\nHailing from the city of Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Steve Lands has been swaying stages\, clubs\, bars\, museums\, houses-of-worship\, and studios the world over for more than a decade now.

Growing up in church\, gospel music played a huge part in molding him as a drummer.

Vasquez]\n\nThe Team\nPowerHouse Productions is a collaboration between two tenacious producers\, Kelly Love Jones and Lakeba Angelle\, that aims to influence and transform the way we view\, experience\, and practice social justice and social relations as a human family. Jones and Angelle use art as a tool to influence positive action and impartial respect for all life. They indulge the art(s) of music\, spoken word\, visual art\, dance\, culinary art\, leadership\, altruism\, and reciprocation to spread their message of egality and civility. \n\n\n\n\nKelly Love Jones\nJones’s artistic\, creative\, and cultural work is centered at the heart of healing\, empowerment\, and forgiveness. She likes to call her music “New Orleans Swag” because it is influenced by and mixes in the traditional rhythms of the Second Line\, R&B\, hip-hop\, and folk. Jones’s music also celebrates legendary artists and their traditions\, like Deacon John and Allen Toussaint\, who through their musicality and songwriting made available New Orleans’ soulful and spirit-filled culture\, the bayou landscape\, and its colorful heritage to people around the world. Jones’s music is a good bowl of gumbo\, mixing in all these traditions to produce songs that honor love\, well-being\, ancestry\, family\, tradition\, and good times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLakeba Angelle\nCo-producer Lakeba Angelle is a chef\, dancer\, traveler\, educator\, speaker\, consultant\, writer\, and poet. She’s a well-respected liaison in the artist community in many rights\, and her heart is sincere. Described as an “aggregator of resources\, regarding financial matters in particular\, Lakeba’s knowledge and agility in that arena has more often than not made the difference between success or failure of a venture. Lakeba brings a degree of poise and integrity to every project she’s connected with\, that it automatically helps improve the business posture of the artist moving forward” (Lilli Lewis Project). Angelle is a cum laude graduate of Tulane University and a NOWFE bronze medalist.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiffany Morris\nBassMonsterTiff\, guru of the bass guitar\, has been mastering for more than two decades. She is a graduate of Xavier University and was born in Slidell\, Louisiana. Tiffany has shared many stages with acclaimed artists such as Ellis Marsalis\, Kelly Love Jones\, Joy Clark\, and Cyril Neville’s Swamp Funk Band. BassMonsterTiff is also the resident bassist at Beacon Light Church of Laplace\, Louisiana. BassMonsterTiff appreciates live collaboration with other musicians\, but she also has a strong passion for creating original pieces of her own in her home studio. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJamal Baptiste\nNew Orleans’s own Jamal Baptiste is a master percussionist and multi-instrumentalist who has traveled extensively throughout the world. He has captivated audiences in the USA\, the Caribbean\, South Africa\, Morocco\, Japan\, Ireland\, Scotland\, France\, and England with his star-studded performances in rock\, funk\, soul\, gospel\, hip-hop\, and R&B. Baptiste is also a songwriter and recording engineer and holds an independent record label\, Jam-All Pro Music Group.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nXavier Molina\nXavier Molina is a dynamic and prolific musician\, singer\, songwriter\, and producer. As a multi-instrumentalist\, Molina plays all of the core instruments (acoustic\, electric\, and bass guitar\, drums\, piano\, and trumpet) with proficiency and skill\, bringing excellence\, depth and heartfelt energy to every song he touches.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCameron Watson\nA dedicated NOCCA student\, pianist\, and multi-instrumentalist\, Cameron Watson is a young artist and entrepreneur committed to excellence. Already at the age of 16\, he has engaged in study with Berklee Music School and Loyola University.

But is all as it seems? And will new power lead to moral purity\, or to ultimate corruption? Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure is a brilliant play almost absurdly well-fashioned for our modern American age of divisive politics and legal retribution. \nAnd even more exciting\, The NOLA Project is proud to partner with PlayOn Shakespeare to present this production with a world-premiere new modern-verse translation by playwright AdidiBrennan Kapil with support from the Hitz Foundation. \nAs a part of PlayOn Shakespeare\, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival commissioned 36 playwrights—more than half are women and more than half are playwrights of color\, each paired with a dramaturg—to translate Shakespeare’s works into contemporary modern English to celebrate the enduring impact of the Bard’s plays. These commissions challenge the playwrights to bring the same level of dramatic pressure and rigor of language to their work as is present in the originals\, deepening our understanding and engagement with Shakespeare. The NOLA Project is excited to present this classic story and fresh modern translation\, directed by Mark Routhier\, in NOMA’s opulent Great Hall. \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/the-nola-project-presents-measure-for-measure/2019-09-10/ CATEGORIES:Performances ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/m4m-no-author.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190529T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190529T210000 DTSTAMP:20251107T054809 CREATED:20190522T015909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190522T020445Z UID:45753-1559156400-1559163600@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:The NOLA Project presents The Henchman: A Shakespeare Sequel DESCRIPTION:The NOLA Project returns to the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden for yet another crowd-pleasing outdoor theatrical production in partnership with NOMA. \nThe Henchman: A Shakespeare Story\, an imagined sequel by playwright Michael Aaron Santos to A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, reveals the true story of Jacob\, the little changeling boy who Oberon and Titania quarreled over many years ago.

Inspired by the classical myth of Persephone\, who was doomed to spend a third of the year in the underworld\, Molina reimagines this mythological figure as an empowered goddess who harnesses the earth as a place of primordial cultural emergence. Spanning video installation\, performance\, photography\, sculpture and textile design\, Molina’s work privileges female protagonists to explore themes related to origins\, heritage\, and personal mythology\, and how they work in concert with natural and urban landscapes. \nAdmission to NOMA is free on Wednesdays for all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

Advance tickets may be purchased at Eventbrite. \nInspired by Luis Valdez’s legendary Teatro Campesino shows on flatbed trucks in the 1970s that brought attention to the plight of migrant workers in California at parks and union halls\, José Torres-Tama and the ArteFuturo Ensemble roll out the Taco Truck Theater/Teatro Sin Fronteras with a GMC vehicle repurposed into a mobile stage that crosses economic\, geographic\, and racial borders. \nDriven by a live music sound-bed and a street performance vibe with pop-up food vendors\, the theater company challenges the anti-immigrant hysteria gripping the country. The diverse and bilingual ArteFuturo Ensemble perform a visually dynamic show with moving stories that offer a parallel between Latino immigrants dehumanized as “illegal aliens”\, and the historical struggle of African Americans with a national crisis of police shootings of unarmed black civilians.\n\nLed by award-winning performance artist José Torres-Tama\, the ensemble includes Monica “Spirit” McIntyre\, Cristina “Latina Siren” Maria Blanco\, Roberto “Mex-Andino” Carrillo\, and features Darius and Diego Torres-Copeland\, singers and performers. Their comic battle cry is “NO GUACAMOLE for Immigrant Haters!” \n\nAfter the performance\, join Curator Katie Pfohl for a tour of the exhibition Carlos Rolón: Outside/In. Rolón\, a Puerto Rican artist born in Chicago\, is internationally recognized for his paintings\, sculptures and installations that break down walls. Working with shattered glass\, wrought iron fences\, and construction cinderblocks\, his art takes these barriers to access and transforms them into new points of entry. Outside/Inexplores the rich connections between New Orleans\, Latin America\, and the Caribbean through allusions to each region’s natural and built environments.
