"Maya Variations" A Film screening with Film Composer Yuval Ron

Thursday, November 4, 2010 at 8:00 PM 

Location: Olandar, Home of Carla and Leigh McCloskey in Malibu, CA

A premier LA screening of the documentary film about "Maya Variations" - an exciting multi-media work by composer Yuval Ron. The multi-disciplinary performance documented in this film contrasts the ancient Mayan civilization and its connection to nature, with our contemporary industrialized civilization and its reliance on technology.

Commissioned by Lauren Bon for Farm Lab in 2007, the work features the amazing three hundred foot long "Earth Harp", which is strung in such a way, it envelops the performance space and audience within the body of the instrument. 

The filmed performance showcases the Earth Harp's creator William Close, Armenian woodwind master Yeghish Manukyan, and an experimental art film by director David Lebrun creating a fascinating and vivid film portrayal of Mayan culture and history.

This artistic film is accompanied by composer Yuval Ron's electronically triggered musical soundscapes, and takes the audience on an inspiring and mesmerizing journey into the Mayan world in search of hope for our contemporary urban society.

Followed by discussion with the work creator and composer Yuval Ron and his collaborator, film director David Lebrun.

Today, I took my friend Luiz by the home of thinker, artist and philosopher Leigh J. McCloskey in Malibu. The wisdom and truth radiating through his work is extremely inspiring. Leigh has held a salon in the attic of his home for the last 20 years facilitating a collective consciousness. The core principles of his work reminds people that we are united and creative travelers on an eternal journey.

Forth Magazine on Leigh J. McCloskey

Recently, LA's Forth Magazine wrote a beautiful article on our friend and inspiration Leigh McCloskey. Make sure to read the article here and enjoy a magical tour through one of Leigh's masterpieces known as the Hieroglyph of the Human Soul.

"Leigh is a visionary painter and philosopher who has transformed his home into an evolving canvas. His environmental painting, Hieroglyph of the Human Soul, crawls up bookshelves, across the floor, ceiling, and furniture of his studio. Filled with archetypal symbolism and alchemical imagery, Leigh's work is unlike anything the modern art world has to offer. It is an honor to know him, for In my opinion, he is simply one of the great painters of all time; I have no doubt that in years to come his work will be discussed in the same breath as any of the great masters."
