    <title>My Name is Albert Ayler</title>
    <description>         MY NAME IS ALBERT AYLER&lt;br /&gt; Directed by Kasper Collin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;rdquo;One of the most starkly beautiful and moving documentaries ever made about a jazz musician.&amp;rdquo; --Jazz Times (USA) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; MY NAME IS ALBERT AYLER (Sweden, 2005, 79 min) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Alamo Drafthouse in association with Epistrophy Arts is pleased to present MY NAME IS ALBERT AYLER, a new documentary about the prophetic free jazz saxophonist Ayler, who today is seen as one of the most important innovators in jazz. Ayler was obsessed with his radical music and by the thought that people one day would understand it, as he said in his own words &amp;ldquo;If people don&amp;#39;t like it now, they will.&amp;rdquo; In 1962 he recorded his first album in Sweden. Eight years later he was found dead in New York&amp;#39;s East River, aged 34. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The documentary follows the trail of Albert from his native town of Cleveland by way of Sweden to New York, meeting family, friends and colleagues who help tell the story of his life and music. Albert himself guides us with his voice and music. Seven years in the making, the film includes newly discovered footage of Ayler and his band. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Accolades on the film from its release in UK this year: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;An extraordinary portrait of an extraordinary musician...Something of a triumph ... manages to bring its austere subject alive, turning Ayler&amp;#39;s short, turbulent life into a compelling narrative. ... shows that, underneath the brash, proto-punk tone of Ayler&amp;#39;s saxophone, there was a real heart.&amp;rdquo; --SIGHT &amp;amp; SOUND &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;Heartbreaking as it is, this film is a rarity and not to be missed.&amp;rdquo; --ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;During his cruelly short lifetime, tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler, who died at the age of 34 in 1970, often claimed that his tumultuous, spiritual form of free jazz would be understood by audiences only after he died. ... A loving and elegantly crafted documentary that charts the saxophonist&amp;#39;s commitment to his art ... His music, which this film will make you wish to run out and hear, is the sound of a pack of lions unleashed.&amp;rdquo; --DAILY TELEGRAPH &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;rdquo;An excellent documentary film... about artistic integrity in the face of poverty, and of commitment to a musical vision.&amp;rdquo; --THE GUARDIAN &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;a tender and slightly unsettling love letter to iconic avant-garde saxophonist Albert Ayler&amp;rdquo; --TIME OUT (CRITIC&amp;#39;S CHOICE) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;Collin&amp;#39;s film is a haunting mesh of old cine footage, paint-stripping live performances and interviews with surviving friends and family. A strange shot of a semi-naked Ayler, staring silently into the camera, threads through the film, as if the subject is daring you to dismiss him...&amp;rdquo; --THE SUNDAY TIMES &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A loving and elegantly crafted documentary that charts the saxophonist&amp;#39;s commitment to his art ... His music, which this film will make you wish to run out and hear, is the sound of a pack of lions unleashed.&amp;rdquo; --DAILY TELEGRAPH (Sukhdev Sandhu) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;By turns illuminating and heartbreaking ... completely alters the way you hear and feel the music.&amp;rdquo; --THE WIRE MAGAZINE &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.mynameisalbertayler.com&quot; title=&quot;www.mynameisalbertayler.com&quot;&gt; www.mynameisalbertayler.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

This feature length film captures the aura surrounding one of the most unusual stars of the contemporary music scene. Framed by a smattering of behind-the-scenes footage, the bulk of this stunning document concerns the actual concert, notable as the final time that Bowie would perform under his alternate persona...an announcement that, at the time, led many fans to mistakenly believe Bowie was retiring altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  PLAYS AGAIN ON SUNDAY, DEC 16 AT 9:45 FOR REGULAR ADMISSION. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Alamo Downtown&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kid Policy:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian.

Directed by Sean Penn, the film opens in 1992, when Chris (Emile Hirsh) is a promising college graduate. Shortly after graduation, Chris gives his life savings to charity, burns all of his identification, and begins hitchhiking across America, his ultimate goal being Alaska. Citing passages from his heroes, Thoreau and Jack London, he is determined to escape society and get back to nature. He blows from town to town like a tumbleweed, hopping trains, camping with aging hippies (Catherine Keener and Brian Dierker), working briefly with a farmer (Vince Vaughan), and befriending a widowed leather worker (Hal Holbrook).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He revels in his newfound freedom, but meanwhile, his parents (Marcia Gay Harden and William Hurt) have no idea where he is, and are sick with worry. While their relationship with Chris was already troubled, they are nonetheless devastated by his disappearance. Chris finally makes it to Alaska, where he hikes out to a remote campsite and discovers an abandoned bus. He manages to survive there for a few months living off the land, but he eventually runs out of supplies and becomes trapped...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Alamo Downtown&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kid Policy:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian.

    <title>$2 Music Monday: SOUND OF RIO</title>

In late 19th century Rio de Janeiro, musicians started to blend European melodies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and the melancholic interpretation of the Brazilian Indians&amp;rsquo; music to create Choro, which is credited as being the first musical expression of Brazil&amp;rsquo;s melting pot and had a prominent place in the development of the nation&amp;rsquo;s cultural identity. Choro remained incredibly popular until the 1920s, leading directly into Samba and later to Bossa Nova. The film from multi-faceted Finnish director Kaurismaki recalls the history but also shows a colorful picture of Choro&amp;rsquo;s vitality today, with the advent of new sounds creating an even richer base for the ever mutating and distinctly Brazilian style. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Alamo Downtown&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kid Policy:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian.

    <title>City Theatre Acting Series: The Art of Auditioning </title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Discussion of different auditioning techniques, including methods of preparation, monologue selection and performance, the mechanics of presentation of provided sides, and how to project your desired personal image. Activities: In addition to lectures outlining procedures and techniques for auditioning, students will present auditions at various times to the instructor individually and to the class as a whole. A variety of audition situations will be simulated realistically, including cold readings and prepared readings. Auditions will be critiqued and by the end of the class students will have a great deal more practical audition experience, and a set of criteria to assist the student in future auditions&lt;/p&gt;</description>
