SUMMARY:Indie Meme Presents The Cloud Messenger (Meghdoot)
DESCRIPTION:About the Film: Studying in a colonial-era boarding school in the Himalayan mountains\, Jaivardhana (‘JV’) is an insolent and mischievous sixteen-year-old who finds it hard to balance his world within the rigid and mundane structures of school\, and his newfound attraction towards another student\, Tarini. As the tale unfolds\, we begin to realize their roles as timeless lovers in a mythical tale\, meeting in the present day after several centuries of longing\, and leading up to the death of Tarini in this life as well. As the whole universe conspires to break the ancient curse\, this tale of eternal love can only end if Jaivardhana travels to the land of death itself. The story of Meghdoot is where myth and reality merge\, giving birth to something new. Where we witness the dream of a boy\, merging with the cosmic dream. \nThank you to our community partner: Hyperreal Film Club\, hyperrealfilm.club\nStay after the movie for a live Q&A with filmmaker Rahat Mahajan!\nJoin us for a happy hour celebrating Rahat directly following the Q&A at Vivo’s Tex-Mex.\n“A fascinating exercise in mythopoeia” – Nidhi Verma (Platform)\n“Magical and truly dizzying” – Gregory Coutault (Le Polyester) \nThis event is funded in part by a grant from the City of Austin\, Economic Development Division

SUMMARY:Bridging with Mother
DESCRIPTION:Tyagaraja Welch of Sustainable Humane Earth Productions (SHE Produces) presents his latest singular art experience\, Bridging with Mother\, at The VORTEX\, March 21-23\, 2024. \nBridging with Mother is an artistic call to “conjoin\,” to “merge\,” or to “become one with nature.” Experience live music\, classical Indian dance\, multimedia art\, acting\, and stage design created by Tyagaraja Welch and directed by his partner Gunjen Mittal. Bridging with Mother is the culmination of classical Indian art forms and permaculture theory\, inspired by the Sanskrit term for yoga. It is a production of Welch’s original music\, the first release since the pre-pandemic production of VIVEKA\, by Welch’s assemblage Light Wheel. \nTyaga Welch offers these words on the project: \n“What are we\, and where did we come from? When one comes to a mighty waterfall\, or stands at the edge of the world along a vast coastal ocean\, or bathes in a sacred river\, what is the first organic response? When this question is presented in our Yogic Workshops\, ninety percent of the participants answer with not a word; they answer with a sound: ‘Aaaahhh.’ This ‘ah’ sound of relief has the hidden answer to all human dilemma. If we are mindful and connected with experiencing our present moment\, the ‘aaaahhh’ sound is an ‘aha’ moment\, the moment of awakening. The deeper one goes into the topic\, the more questions arise. What is the ‘aha’ moment? Spirituality\, in its purest sense\, is remembrance. The reason why your faith or individual spirituality feels so right\, pure\, and true to you is because it feels familiar––something you always thought and couldn’t quite put your finger on––like the moment when your hand opens the door to your own house. You feel at peace\, safe\, and familiar with the surroundings.” \n“It’s in times like these that shows like Bridging with Mother are so important to produce because art can promote a paradigm shift towards compassion and action. If you attend the live show at The VORTEX\, you will be moved\,” says Gunjen Mittal\, Director of Bridging with Mother. \nBridging with Mother will be a show for everyone. With the additions of Gunjen Mittal\, Welch’s eight-year-old daughter\, and elders as advisors\, the show’s collaborators span an age range of seventy years. It is an opportunity for the Austin community to support the production of heritage art and live music.

SUMMARY:Workshop "Story First" : Writing Your First Screenplay with Bev Chukwu
DESCRIPTION:So you want to write movies. For whatever reason\, writing screenplays can seem both exciting and nerve-wracking for emerging and seasoned writers alike. Those who didn’t grow up reading screenplays – that’s most of us – look at a script and immediately become daunted by format and structure. The thought of abiding by so many rules can feel liberating for some but overwhelming to many\, especially to women and non-binary folk\, who are often still getting used to having their voices heard. I created this class to eradicate the notion that writing screenplays is “hard” and to instead remind people that story always comes first. Your voice is your voice\, no matter the medium. Let it be heard\, or\, in this case\, let it be seen. \nIn this 4-week class\, I first bring students into the core of their script ideas. That means the first week is all about owning your idea and seeing what resonates with others on an emotional level. From there\, the second week is all about formatting\, structure\, and general screenwriting lingo. Having your story in your head will make absorbing screenwriting tools that much easier. The third and fourth weeks of this class are dedicated to executing what you’ve learned into a tangible outline and the first act of your very own screenplay. \nAt the end of this course\, you’ll have everything you need to finish your script and tools.\nRegister by March 26\, 2024.\nMax Participants: 10 \nCost: This workshop is provided for free with support from our donors. Donations are appreciated.\n*Note: Registration does not guarantee attendance.\n*10 attendees will be selected by drawing and notified by March 29\, 2024.\n* Torch workshops are open to BIPOC womxn writers. \nBeverly “Bev” Chukwu is a Nigerian American writer\, director\, and script consultant. Her producing projects have screened at the Women in Horror Film Festival\, Cine Las Americas\, AGLIFF\, and more. Bev’s screenplay\, PRINCE OF LAVENDALE STREET\, was the feature winner in the 2021 BlueCat Screenplay Competition\, and her video essay “Sometimes Black” is now used as educational material at the University of Texas at Austin. She has spent over seven years working in various mental health arenas and nearly a year providing behavior therapy to neurodivergent youth and adults. Bev has received fellowships from the Black List x WIF Episodic Lab\, Google’s YouTube Originals Black Voices Creator Program\, and the James A. Michener Center for Writers\, where she also received an MFA in screenwriting and fiction. Bev continues to advocate for filmmakers as EA to the Head of Film and Creative Media at the Austin Film Society and through her relationships teaching for the Writers League of Texas\, Austin Bat Cave\, and other local non-profits.

SUMMARY:The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body
DESCRIPTION:The VORTEX and Fusebox Festival proudly present the commissioned world premiere of The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body\, a new choreopoem by award-winning playwright and Black cultural studies scholar Lisa B. Thompson. The show premieres 25 years after the debut of her classic comedy Single Black Female and is dedicated to Thompson’s mentor and friend\, the legendary theater director Shirley Jo Finney. \nConceived during Thompson’s 2021 MacDowell artist residency and developed during her 2023-24 Texas Performing Arts and Fusebox artist residency\, The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body meditates on Black women’s experiences from the perspectives of mind\, body\, and spirit. What makes the piece unique is its focus on middle-aged and older Black women\, an often invisible and neglected group\, especially by the medical establishment. Thompson also celebrates Black feminist pioneers and icons whose contributions to the arts\, culture\, politics\, and academia transformed the world. The piece culminates in an audience dance party and an invitation for Black women to share their own contributions to Black feminist wisdom.

SUMMARY:The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body
DESCRIPTION:The VORTEX and Fusebox Festival proudly present the commissioned world premiere of The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body\, a new choreopoem by award-winning playwright and Black cultural studies scholar Lisa B. Thompson. The show premieres 25 years after the debut of her classic comedy Single Black Female and is dedicated to Thompson’s mentor and friend\, the legendary theater director Shirley Jo Finney. \nConceived during Thompson’s 2021 MacDowell artist residency and developed during her 2023-24 Texas Performing Arts and Fusebox artist residency\, The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body meditates on Black women’s experiences from the perspectives of mind\, body\, and spirit. What makes the piece unique is its focus on middle-aged and older Black women\, an often invisible and neglected group\, especially by the medical establishment. Thompson also celebrates Black feminist pioneers and icons whose contributions to the arts\, culture\, politics\, and academia transformed the world. The piece culminates in an audience dance party and an invitation for Black women to share their own contributions to Black feminist wisdom.
