The Creative Community: Ensemble Theatre, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and UCSB Arts and Lectures
- This episode of The Creative Community begins with an inside look at the Ensemble Theatre Company's new season and new home at the New Vic. Host David Starkey talks with Executive Artistic Director Jonathan Fox about the 2013-14 plays, actors and directors, and takes a quick look with Jonathan at the new theatre, still under construction at the time of the interview.
In the next segment, Karen Sinsheimer, Curator of Photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, takes Starkey on a walking tour of the museum, with a focus on the exhibition John Divola: As Far As I Could Get. The exhibition is running concurrently at SBMA, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Pomona College Museum of Art.
In the final segment, Starkey interviews Miller McCune Executive Director Celesta M. Billeci and Associate Director Roman Baratiak of UCSB Arts & Lectures. Arts & Lectures' mission is to enhance the educational experience at the university, foster excellence and creativity, and connect UCSB and the richly varied communities of the Central Coast. The interview, which took place in the Courthouse's sunken garden, focuses on upcoming Arts & Lectures events.

Inca the Peruvian Ensemble and dancers at UC Santa Barbara, Nov 21, 2008
Marineras from the coast of Peru. Featuring :Victor Vento
( 1st guitar), Fernando Popayan (2nd guitar), Gino Gamboa (cajon and singing), Rodrigo Rodriguez (bass). Dancers for the 1st song: Jeanine Espejo & Walter Almora (Coreographic Director )
INCA, the Peruvian Ensemble was founded in 1981 in Los Angeles, for the purpose of researching, preserving and presenting Peru's rich multi-cultural heritage of ethnic and folkloric music, songs, dance and traditions. INCA performs music and dances form the Andean region (Inca heritage), from the central and northern coasts (Criollo, Hispanic heritage), from the southern coast (Afro-Peruvian, Black heritage), and from the Peruvian Amazon jungle (jungle natives heritage).
Since its onset, INCA has gained steadily in artistic excellence and in reputation as one of the west coast's leading ethnic performing companies. Concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, the Redlands Bowl, The Fresno Civic Auditorium, Zion National Park, El Paso's El Chamizal Ampitheater, Santa Fe's Greer Garson Theater, Albuquerque's S.B.C.C., Colorado State University, Colorado College, etc., are true indicators that the company has a feisty following throughout California and the western states. In '93-'94 INCA performed at Mingus Auditorium in Cottonwood, AZ; at the Luther Burbank Ctr. for the Performing Arts in Santa Rosa, CA; Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo, CA; Fiesta Inn in Mesa, AZ.; in '95 INCA performed at the Detroit Institute of Art, in Lake Tahoe with the Tahoe Arts Project and at the John Anson Ford Theater. In '96 INCA hosted a Peruvian Independence Day Festival at the John Anson Ford Theater, performing with famous Peruvian singer Ms. Edith Barr. INCA also performed with Edith Barr in San Francisco and Salt Lake City, Utah. In February of '97 INCA performed and conducted workshops and educational presentations at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, and in '98 at U.C. Davis.
INCA has also received support from the Cultural Affairs Department of the city of Los Angeles, the California Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, the California Community Foundation, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, the National/State/County Partnership, and various businesses, corporations and individuals in the southern California area.
With the aid of these grants, INCA has produced several recordings that contain a cross section of the company's repertoire. These recordings help the group to preserve some of this ethnic material, which in many cases would be lost otherwise. In December of 1997 INCA released Danzante. It was sold at various record stores in the Los Angeles area, New York Natural History Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, etc. In 2001 INCA released its latest CD, Que siga la Farra, a great collection of Andean songs.
INCA is distinguished among Southamerican ethnic groups because the musicians not only perform music from the mountains of the Andean region, but also from the coast (Hispanic influenced valses, polkas, and Afro-Peruvian rhythms), and from the selva or Peruvian Amazon jungle. They also perform with as many as eight dancers using typical costumes from these various regions.

Rebelution Safe and Sound Live @ FreeBird Live
Rebelution first united in Santa Barbara, California, built from a wide array of musical backgrounds. With Reggae as the focus, the group set out to create a fresh and vibrant sound which they dub California Reggae. The band released their highly anticipated full-length album in June of 2007 and just weeks after its release, Courage to Grow became one of the most downloaded Reggae albums on iTunes. By the end of the year, it had been awarded the iTunes Editors Choice: Best Reggae Album 2007.
Apparently, California Reggae is hot. Stemming from a foundation of local support, Rebelution soared into iTunes Reggae Top 10 (album downloads), amongst some lofty company. Lofty like Bob, Stephen, and Damian Marley.
— Santa Barbara News-Press
Rebelutions dynamic sound is led by diverse vocalist and guitarist Eric Rachmany. Together with the elevating melodies of Rory Carey keyboards and hard-hitting beats by bass player Marley D. Williams and drummer Wesley Finley, the band will make you move both physically and mentally.
If you love Bob Marley, Sublime, and Jack Johnson and youre a regular on the State Street scene, then chances are youre already crazy about Rebelution. Their combination of reggae, hip-hop, and rock have made them a favorite of music lovers all over town.
— The Santa Barbara Independent
Within the last year, Rebelution has made a name for themselves with their iTunes success and performances with notable artists like Barrington Levy, Israel Vibration, Junior Reid, Don Carlos, Pepper, Eek-A-Mouse, Pato Banton, Tanya Stephens, Half Pint, SOJA, Yellowman, Talib Kweli, E-40, and The Pharcyde. Rebelution has already proven themselves in the musical arena and intends to further expand their success with a sound that confidently claims itself unique.
