In January, more than 200 Latino and Latin American artists will stage more than 75 performance works around Los Angeles as part of the Pacific Standard Time Festival: Live Art LA/LA — organized by REDCAT, in collaboration with arts institutions around the city. “These are projects that cross boundaries between art forms: performance, dance, theater,” says REDCAT Executive Director Mark Murphy. “Many of the Los Angeles artists are doing projects that take them in a new direction. And some of the international artists are either coming with their work to L.A. for the first time or are bringing work that is in a very different realm than what they’ve done previously.”
