Jovelyn Richards returns to the stage with her new piece, Strippin’ Down To Story. In the midst of the movement to uplift the Negro race in the year 1931,
how does a newly married medical school graduate end up as a strip tease artist at the most prestigious private club in Boston?
This solo performance is a portrait of a woman who crosses time and space to tell the stories of women whose lives ended abruptly.
Strippin’ Down to Story uses the art of erotic gesture to reveal the secrets of living and dying.
The East Bay Media Center provides an intimate, thirty seat venue for the premiere of this evocative performance.
This play is written and performed by Ms. Richards, accompanied by her orchestra. Strippin’ Down To Storyis part of her Nappy Headed Love Stories series.
Stephanie Anne Johnson is the scenographer and designer for this piece. She and Ms. Richards previously collaborated on Come Home and most recently, Mrs. Pat’s House which was presented at La Pena last August.
Previous reviews from Come Home:
“The actress sings with her body and voice – the chorus, three women: pianist, percussionist and violinist – are ground that catches the beautiful actress.”
Wanda Sabir – S.F. Bay View, February 2008
“Richards is able to use her body like an instrument with perfect rhythm, gestures and almost dance-like movements.” Flora Lynn Isaacson – La Peña News - February 2010

David A. Moss in 'Cracked Clown' at East Bay Media Center
Review by Ken Bullock - Berkeley Daily Planet - November 18, 2011
The East Bay Media Center has presented four live performances recently, according to co-founders Mel Vapour and Paul Kealoha Blake, and there're hopes of many more, plus screenings, discussions--and a remodeling, or at least, rearrangement of the house. A sometimes neglected community gem, surrounded by more recognized venues of different sorts, the EBMC is one with maximum integrity and intensive usefulness, on Addison near Milvia "at the frontier of the Berkeley Arts District," as Vapour puts it with a smile.

“The Last Mambo” explores the world of Salsa/Latin Jazz in the San Francisco Bay area from diverse perspectives of dancers, DJs and musicians. The film discusses how the dance aesthetic, musical presentation and cultural context have changed in the wake of Afrocuban music’s growing popularity and commercialization. “The Last Mambo”, punctuated with interviews, photographs and concert footage captures the spirit of Salsa/Latin Jazz, celebrates its rich cultural heritage and debates the nature of its future.

The Documentary Filmmakers Course
These weekend workshops are packed with everything a filmmaker needs to know in order to make a documentary film and get their message to the masses. Topics include creating a great story, how to get funding (with guest speakers from top Californian grant organizations), production and post-production workflows and how to sell and distribute your film. Includes a workshop where you can pitch your project and get specialized advice. At the end of this session, we assure you that you will know exactly what to do next with your project.
Our 2 DAY SEMINAR provides you with an interactive, relaxed environment that encourages you to reach your goals. Through practical tips, hands on experience with filmmaking gear and video examples, you will feel empowered and confident that you can go out the next day and get started on your project. And don't think that after the seminar is over that you are on your own. Instructor Andrew Zinnes is available for quick, one off email questions and hour long consult session long after the event is over to refresh your memory, give advice, and help guide you through your process.
After all, what we want you to do is have an idea, grab a camera and make a doc. And if you aren't completely satisfied we will return your money. No strings attached.

INTERview with Edward Frenkel: as the Tragic and Possessed Lover
by Jason-Louise Graham - Berkeley Art World Examiner
The true language of love?
It’s math, says Berkeley professor Edward Frenkel, whose steamy new film touches a nerve:

Overheard at the screening:
"I had no idea it was still possible to stir up controversy in the Bay area with art involving
transgressive sex, and would never have thought that using research mathematics was the way to do it."
