A HISTORY OF THE BODY: A STORY IN PARTS - #2

Getting ready for these two work-in-progress showings has been a whirlwind - from the playwright’s table to the producer’s budget-crunching; from table reads to tech runs.  Join us if you can, if you’re in the Bay Area, but if not, here’s a trailer video about the work’s inception: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMjiUVnZSBM

East LA Community Corporation (ELACC) and Leadership for Urban Renewal Now (LURN) will expand income and employment for low-income Angelenos and small business owners through the Los Angeles Street and Sidewalk Entrepreneurs Initiative or LA-SSEI. LA-SSEI will promote partnerships between businesses and street vendors, start a venture capital fund that will provide working capital that will help support the growth of LA’s approximately 10,000 street vendors. By 2050, LA will decriminalize street and sidewalk vending integrate them into LA’s social and cultural life, providing Angelenos with affordable, convenient and healthy retail options. A developed pathway to success will allow a vendor to begin as an off-street market entrepreneur and end up as a fixed stall, certified farmers market retailer, or commercial tenant.
