Perform! Now! July 29th - August 1st

July 29th to August 1st, 2010

Human Resources will be curating performances from July 29th- July 31st.

Chinatown will play host to the second annual PERFORM! NOW! Festival. Upwards of 40 performances will take place inside and outside an array of Chinatown venues. The programming allows for appropriate focus, time, context and space for uninterrupted engagement with large audiences, and provides the best possible arena for each performance.

Expanding on the premise of the inaugural event, Perform! Now! will seek to further develop and explore the delicate relationship between performer, audience, and environment. Los Angeles' historic Chinatown neighborhood harbors many unusual and exciting areas with limitless performance potential, that when paired with the wealth of talent included in this year’s roster, promises for an energizing and dynamic experience. 

Participating artists include:

Skip Arnold, Math Bass, Micha Cardenas and Elle Mehrmand, Mariel Carranza, Marcus Civin, Dorit Cypis, Megan Daalder, Alexis Disselkoen, Zackary Drucker, Fundación Wanna Winni, Brian Getnick and Kristian van der Heyden, Liz Glynn and Corey Fogel, Douglas Green, Matt Greene, Micol Hebron, Gustavo Herrera, Marc Horowitz, ing, Vishal Jugdeo / Aram Moshayedi / Matteo Tannat, Joel Kyack, Morrisa Maltz, Emily Mast / Jerome Bel, Yong Soon Min, Lucas Murgida, Warren Neidich, Paul Pescador, Nancy Popp, Andrew Printer, Jules Rochielle, Margie Schnibbe, Sister Mantos, Alex Staiger, Team Zatara, Julie Tolentino, Jason Wallace Triefenbach, Samuel Vasquez, Dorian Wood and Joseph Tepperman.
