They say it takes a village. For William Kentridge’s The Head & the Load, it takes a village and an arena. 🏗️ This production is too big for Zellerbach Hall, so we moved it to the newly remodeled Arena at the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts in Oakland. Here’s how an empty room becomes Kentridge’s world, from the set build to the rehearsals. This is the West Coast premiere of Kentridge’s largest work. It was first staged in London’s Tate Modern Turbine Hall and at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, and now it’s here. 📍 Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts, Oakland
🗓️ November 12–15
🎟️ Link in bio 10 Nov 2026 Jason Moran on James Reese Europe, the composer and bandleader who brought a small portable organ to the front lines of World War I so he could keep writing songs. Europe landed in France with the all-Black Harlem Hellfighters in 1918 and helped popularize jazz there, yet his name has largely been left out of jazz history. On Nov 21, Moran brings James Reese Europe and the Absence of Ruin, his tribute to Europe’s life and legacy, to Zellerbach Hall. Moran’s Bandwagon trio is joined by a seven-piece horn section, with visuals by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Bradford Young. Come early for a free pre-performance conversation with Moran and UC Berkeley English professor Scott Saul at 6pm. The full Illuminations video, featuring William Kentridge and UC Berkeley scholars, is at the link in bio. 📍 Zellerbach Hall 🗓️ Sat, Nov 21, 7:30pm 🎟️ Tickets at link in bio 05 Nov 2026 ✅ $10 tickets. ✅ Some of the best seats in the house. ✅ 40+ performances.

Link in bio. 27 Aug 2026 Are plants conscious? They can remember things for 30 days, have up to 20 senses, and can even be knocked out by anesthetics. 🌿 Michael Pollan dives into the controversial theory. What has been lost when a plant with observable behaviors is not responding under anesthetics? In humans, we would say consciousness.

🎟️ Link in bio 03 Nov 2026 In conversation with neuroscientist Christof Koch, Michael Pollan shared a thought-provoking metaphor: psychedelics “smudge the windshield” of everyday perception, forcing us to notice the invisible lens through which we experience the world. 📍 Recorded live at Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley on October 13, 2026 🔗 Watch the full conversation at the link in @scipsychedelics bio. #MichaelPollan #Consciousness #PsychedelicsResearch #Neuroscience #UCBerkeley 30 Oct 2026 Your soundtrack for the walk across Lower Sproul this fall. 🍂🎧 Today we're feeling the piano, but inside it could be taiko drums, a full orchestra, or something you've never heard before. 🎟️ Fall lineup at the link in bio 01 Jan 1970 In 1918, James Reese Europe and the Harlem Hellfighters brought jazz to France.
