An adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical — itself a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s classic 1900 children’s fantasy “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. This is a multigeneration community production led by Miss Monie that is sure to be a spectacular production. \n\nAbout “The Wiz”\nOver forty years after its original release\, no film has uniquely defined black culture and shaped the framework of a musical genre quite like “The Wiz.” \nFor a generation of black Americans\, this was the first time they saw people who spoke\, and moved the way they did in a Broadway production and\, later\, a big-screen musical\, and it has become a kind of rite of passage for the black community. \n“The Wiz\,” weaved together gospel\, blues\, soul and R&B — genres that are unequivocally black creations — and were narratives of the black experience. \n\nRESERVE TICKETS HERE URL:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/event/the-wiz-play/ LOCATION:WorldBeat Center\, 2100 Park Blvd\, San Diego\, 92101\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_2697.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220219T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220219T180000 DTSTAMP:20240328T174622 CREATED:20211123T210134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220217T184117Z UID:36099-1645264800-1645293600@www.worldbeatcenter.org SUMMARY:Black Comix Day DESCRIPTION:BLACK COM!X DAY RETURNS! \nBCD returns to World Beat Center\, Balboa Park\, San Diego\, CA on February 19-20 (Sat-Sun)!

This ancient Yoga art form emphasizes the rejuvenation of the body and mind as it attempts to provide BIPOC communities with cultural roots that stem from its antique African origins. Kemetic Yoga preserves ancient African culture through deep breath techniques and movements that activate the nervous system and place the mind into a flow state\, where it emits alpha waves that are associated with deep relaxation\, increased concentration\, and emotional balance. Thus\, Kemetic Yoga’s breath techniques and movements seek to relieve stress symptoms while providing a deeper understanding of “oneness”\, as it alleviates the effects of mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Kemetic Yoga is innovative because it places an emphasis on the alignment of the vertebral column while mimicking the geometric configuration of Egyptian pyramids within its poses and movements. Kemetic Yoga’s African origins are imperative to its success\, given that it provides African cultural traditions for BIPOC participants seeking to reconnect with their African roots while attempting to mitigate the effects of anxiety and stress from their corporate jobs\, school expectations\, and beyond. Our program hopes to create a safe environment for participants willing to explore themselves through Kemetic Yoga breath work\, movements\, poses\, postures\, grounding\, and meditation\, which are vital to strengthening the human body\, while increasing its digestive system\, flexibility\, and endurance. Kemetic Yoga promotes numerous benefits for its BIPOC participants because of its emphasis on breath as the essential life force towards achieving “oneness” as it merges with movements that encourage inner harmony and optimal health.Our program is geared toward BIPOC participants\, but we welcome participants from all cultures and backgrounds.\n\nSliding scale $0-25 URL:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/event/kemetic-yoga/ LOCATION:WorldBeat Center\, 2100 Park Blvd\, San Diego\, 92101\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Worldbeat-Kemetic-Yoga-QR-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220227T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220227T235500 DTSTAMP:20240328T174622 CREATED:20220223T045631Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220223T045632Z UID:37065-1645990200-1646006100@www.worldbeatcenter.org SUMMARY:Virtual Tribute to the Reggae Legends - Day 2 DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nFeaturing archived content with Reggae legends like Vaugh Benjamin of Midnite and Akae Beka\, Frankie Paul and more! \n  \n \n  URL:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/event/virtual-tribute-to-the-reggae-legends-day-2/ LOCATION:YouTube ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.worldbeatcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/WorldBeatCenter.org_.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
