Brava Theatre Presents D'Lo's RAMBLE-ATIONS

Ramble-Ations (Regional Premiere)
Written and Performed by D'Lo
Directed by Adelina Anthony
March 17-April 3, 2009
$10-$30

Performance artist D'Lo grew up gay in a Hindu Sri Lankan family in Los Angeles County while immersed in Hip-Hop youth culture. Through humor and colorful characters, Ramble-Ations reflects upon what it means to be a person of color, to be gay, and to be from an immigrant minority.

Described as a "jolt of creative and comedic energy", D'Lo believes in the power and medicinal value of humor. Ramble-Ations: A One D'Lo Show will have you on a roller coaster of emotions with the comedic irony found within the contradictions of life. Known for comedic theater and stand up, D'Lo mixes these styles into the theatrix of this personal story and creates an environment where the audience can collectively laugh at seemingly inappropriate moments.

Workshops:
Writing for Performance March 15 - April 5, 2010. Mondays 7-10pm
Research has shown that public speaking is the #1 fear. The 2nd is death. This concludes that one would prefer to be in the casket at a funeral than delivering a eulogy... Jokes aside, people are truly fearful of presenting for the public. This workshops is geared to cultivate an appreciation of the arts, tackle writing or creative blocks, develop skills in public speaking and performing, and nurture environments for artists to listen, give and receive constructive feedback. (weekly: 3/15, 3/22, 3/29, 4/5) , $100 for a 4 week Workshop

Queer Masculinity Workshop March 16-April 6, 2010. Tuesdays 7-10pm
This workshop is geared specifically for masculine identified women (stud, ag, butch) and transgender/boi/ftm's. The workshop revolves around gender presentation, female masculinity, butch/femme dichotomy, reactions and adoption and adaptation to heterosexuality and hetero masculinity and other breakdowns within gender and sexual orientation. Time will be allotted and structured for solely writing, but a large chunk of time will be set aside to only work on theater arts and readings for the stage. (weekly: 3/16, 3/23, 3/30. 4/6), $100 for 4 week Workshop.
