June 9, 2018
Three Rooms Press presents another LAdiDA, the LA Dadafest at Beyond Baroque in Venice, featuring such LA DADA regulars as Linda J. Albertano, SA Griffin, and Neal “Scooter” Taylor.
Performances will be based on on their original works as featured in “Maintenant 12,” the international DADA Journal now in its twelfth year of publication.
MAINTENANT 12 features provocative cover art by MacArthur Fellow artist Nicole Eisenman. Inside, the work of nearly 200 artists and writers from six continents storms the pages.
This year’s theme is: We are all a “Like.”
Saturday, June 10, 2017 – “Come as You Aren’t” to Beyond Baroque in Venice Beach for our 5th Annual LA di DADA Performance Salon and West Coast Launch for MAINTENANT 11, our newest DADA journal. Showtime’s 8pm –Gonna be a BLAST!
Historically, DADA was a response to the absurdity, the incompetence, the fatuousness and the disastrous failures of the so-called leadership of nations, institutions, political expertise and common convention that led to World War I. As the world dances on the edge of the much the same precipice today, DADA is once again relevant.

Saturday, June 23, 2015 – Three Rooms Press and Beyond Baroque present…
We’re doing something quite unusual at Beyond Baroque
on Saturday, May 16th.
Steve Goldman has written a poem about five entities who
attempt to bully, woo or cajole him into the afterlife.
“That the poem shall come alive…” he is directing
a theatrical version with a cast of stellar poets as the
creatures. Laurel Ann Bogen, Brendan Constantine
and Michael C. Ford are among the luminaries
gracing his stage.
And here is where it gets quite interesting. He’s asked me to
direct a second version of the SAME POEM on the SAME NIGHT.
The two iterations are WILDLY different!
This is my most ambitious project since I was commissioned by the
LA Theatre Center to mount an original full-length piece for a six-
performance run. Starring Wanda Coleman, it included a ballerina,
artists, members of Keith Antar Mason’s “Hittite Empire” and a
30-piece marching band from Compton.
I hope you can come out to see us next week. And, if not, have
a splendid time with whatever interest engages you!
SEVERAL SELF-GESTAPOS…
…a siren-song from the afterlife.
