The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited at the Skirball Center

From the Editor Another exciting season with a full range of outstanding performances has begun. No other venue is comparable to the Ford - its beauty, history, and size is the perfect showcase for dance, film, and music from classical to rock. It’s not overwhelming and, for the little ones, you’ll want to take advantage of Big World Fun and come often.

Our children are the audience of the future.

There’s probably no other program equal to the diversity of the artists being presented this season. More than any other place, The Ford shines a spotlight on the diversity and talent we have in Southern California.

In addition to all the wonderful improvements to this beautiful theatre, Los Angeles County’s support for the arts and culture of this region extends to organizations small and large through the County’s grant program. To formalize this commitment, on July 1st, the Board of Supervisors voted to create a new department of arts and culture that will provide its Arts Commission with increased capacity to strengthen cultural equity and inclusion across the region.

This special issue of Discover Hollywood includes information on the many other places where you can enjoy the richness of the arts and culture of Los Angeles. You can imagine our surprise, on a trip to Puebla, a town just a 2-hour bus ride from Mexico City, we discovered another Los Angeles. While much smaller than our home town, it, too, was alive with music and many cultural offerings. What a find!

If you enjoy discovering places much closer to home, I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading Michael Goldstein’s article on Hiking in Hollywood. And, if history is your “thing,” Mary Mallory takes you on a tour of Hollywoodland.

Enjoy your Los Angeles summer wherever you go and whatever you do.

And, come often to take advantage of this gift - the beautiful Ford Theatre and its many performances. And, remember, it’s all for your benefit - the audience.

The most important part of any performance.

Puebla de Los Angeles

Mexico’s GlazeD Beauty

by Nyla Arslanian

ABOVE: Historic streets house gourmet restaurants and boutiques

M

y husband and I have had a love affair with Mexico almost as long as our own. We honeymooned in Mexico City and Acalpulco in 1969. Nearly every year since we have returned to sample the many delights of this wonderful country visiting such cities as Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Morelia, Guanajuato, Vallodoloid and Merida and the glorious beaches of Ixtapa/Zihuatenejo, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Huatulco. With Mexico, there’s always another town or city to discover each with its own particular character and history or another beach to savor the warm Mexican Pacific.

For many years Puebla has been on our wish list as the home of Talavera pottery available all over

Mexico that is produced in that city. I don’t know why it took us so many years to get there. The short two-hour, first-class bus ride from Mexico City International Airport could not not have been easier or more convenient and included reserved seats, a drink and a snack.

The road to Puebla rises out of Mexico City passing pine tree forests and mountain vistas.

We’d chosen an overnight flight and caught the first bus and the glorious first light as we rose higher and higher along the highway.

At 7,217 feet, it was cool and the city was barely awake but a taxi was waiting. We soon learned that most of the taxis and many of the cars are Volkswagens as a major plant is located there.

It was a short ride to our hotel, and we soon knew DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / FORD PROGRAM ISSUE 2018

this was unlike any Mexican city we had ever seen.

Tiles were embedded onto the facades of the buildings and white “wedding cake” adornment was unusual in its brilliance and intricacy. We learned later from our friends at Mexico Tourism that the region includes vast deposits of onyx, but not a softer stone that could be easily carved. The early Spaniards created a substance called “stuc,” a plaster composite that was formed into blocks and carved. We would see stuc carvings adorning buildings and churches all over the historic city and into the surrounding villages.

We had come for the tile but the history and beauty of Puebla far exceeded our expectations.

As we discovered Puebla, along with its architecture and history, we also learned that it had been the location of many films including Man On Fire with Denzel Washington and Frida with Selma Salma Hayek Hyack among many other documentaries and Mexican cinematic features.

The foundation of Puebla began with a letter from the bishop of Tlaxcala in 1530 to the Spanish queen outlining the need for a Spanish settlement between Mexico City and the port of Veracruz. According to legend, the bishop had a dream about where to build the city. He saw a valley with woods and meadows crossed by a clear river and dotted with fresh-water springs on fertile land. Then he saw a group of angels descend from heaven and trace out the city. Convinced he had a divine vision, he went out in search of the place and found it. This legend is the source of Puebla’s original name, Puebla de los Angeles. continues on page i 8

PUEBLA continued from page 7 The layout of the city is of classic Spanish design, centered on a main plaza, called the Zocalo. By the mid-16th century, water was brought in to the main plaza to a newly installed fountain and a new Cathedral begun in 1575. Its favorable climate and strategic location helped the city to prosper, quickly becoming the second most important city in New Spain. Rather than gold and silver, its riches were in agriculture, textiles and cattle and it continued to prosper.

Of all the places we’ve visited, Puebla is most like a Spanish city.

Its Cathedral de Los Angeles’ magnificent interior is similar to those we visited in Toledo and Seville.

But all was not peaceful in Puebla. During the French intervention in Mexico on 5 May 1862 in the Battle of Puebla, defending Mexican forces defeated the French army considered to be the most powerful in the world at the time.

Every year Puebla celebrates the defeat of invading French troops and although celebrated in the United States, this holiday is not widely observed in other parts of Mexico.

From 1931 until the end of the 20th century, growth of the city spurred the absorption of surrounding municipalities and in 1977, the federal government declared the city as a Zone of Historical Monuments. In 1987, the historic center of Puebla is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Each day we learned more about this fascinating city and its history.

The historical and cultural value of Puebla's architecture are major reasons the city was chosen as a World Heritage Site. Various styles

and techniques such as Baroque, Renaissance and Classic are represented here in over 5,000 buildings.

The historic center is filled with churches, monasteries, mansions and the like, mostly done in gray cantera stone, red brick and decorated with multicolored tiles.

Puebla is also considered to be the “cradle of Mexican Baroque” both in architecture and in the decorative arts, and one of the five most important colonial cities in Mexico.

During the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Puebla remained important culturally and economically. It had a thriving textile industry at this time. Immigration from Europe was encouraged and people from Spain, Italy, Germany continues on page 12

Soon after its founding, Puebla was well-known for its fine ceramics, especially for the style that would be called Talavera. This has been due to the abundance of quality clay in the region, drawing some of the best artisans. Between 1550 and 1570, Spanish potter from Talavera de la Reina in Spain came to Puebla to teach the locals European techniques of using the potter’s wheel and tin-glazing. These new methods were mixed with native designs to give rise to what became known as Poblano Talavera.

WELCOME TO THE JOHN ANSON FORD THEATRES 2018 SEASON! We are fortunate to live in or choose to visit a county at the center of a global crossroads where talented artists, whether from our own diverse backyard, or from around the world, converge and create exhilarating cross-cultural exchanges that might not take place anywhere else.

Where better to experience these cultural collaborations than the uniquely Californian Ford Theatres? The Ford’s enduring commitment to providing a stage for both locally-based and world-renowned contemporary artists translates into a season rich with boundary-pushing work.

A few highlights from this upcoming season include Craig Hella Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard on June 15th and 16th, a piece that uses country, hymns, blues and musical theatre to celebrate Matthew Shepard’s life while exploring how we can transcend tragedy to discover our common humanity. In August, two LA-based choreographers, each a rising star in the dance world, will present new work: Marjani Forté-Saunders, formerly of Urban Bush Women, will debut Memoirs of a…Unicorn, and Stephanie Zaletel will take advantage of the full moon to premiere moon&. Finding a Line will explore commonalities on September 29 as local skaters shred a ramp on the Ford stage to live music by jazz great Jason Moran and his band The Bandwagon. And, once again collaborating with LA Opera, the Ford will present Soldier Songs, a groundbreaking multimedia piece by David T. Little and filmmaker Bill Morrison, produced by Beth Morrison Projects.

There are so many exciting shows; I can’t possibly include them all here, so please make sure to pick up a brochure on your way out. Each and every performance is distinctive and might reveal a jewel in LA’s cultural firmament new to you that you will find breathtaking.

Sit back, enjoy a drink or a meal, and take advantage of this spectacular amphitheatre under the stars!

The place to dream.

A LITTLE ABOUT US‌ At nearly 100 years old, the Ford Theatres is one of the oldest outdoor performing arts venues still in use in Los Angeles County. This historic facility has just completed a three-year renovation and restoration project, led by noted architect Brenda Levin & Associates with Mia Lehrer + Associates landscape architects. Every year, the Ford presents an eclectic season of music, dance, theatre, film and family events that represents the diversity of the region. Ford programs nurture artists, arts organizations and audiences through initiatives designed to encourage participation in the arts.

Originally built in 1920, the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre was originally called the Pilgrimage Theatre. The land on which the Ford sits was purchased by arts patron, visionary and playwright Christine Wetherill Stevenson, who believed the rugged beauty of the Cahuenga Pass would provide a dramatic outdoor setting for The Pilgrimage Play. A wooden outdoor amphitheatre was built and the play was performed by noted actors every summer from 1920 until the amphitheatre was destroyed by fire in 1929. The present theatre, constructed of poured concrete and designed to resemble the gates of Jerusalem, was built on the same site and opened in 1931. The Pilgrimage Play was again performed every year until 1964, rarely interrupted, most notably by World War II. In 1941, the land was deeded to the County of Los Angeles.

Your gift to the Ford Theatre Foundation ensures that quality arts experiences remain accessible to future generations.

Ford programs provide opportunities to CREATE, CONNECT and SHARE together. Join us today!

FordTheatres.org/Support

In 1976, the Pilgrimage Theatre was renamed the John Anson Ford Theatre in honor of the late LA County Supervisor's significant support of the arts. John Anson Ford (1883-1983) helped found the LA County Arts Commission, encouraged the Board of Supervisors to support the building of The Music Center and led the County's acquisition of Descanso Gardens, among many other achievements.
