Place Is the Space is a four-hour immersive performance experience combining live jazz improvisation, theatrical storytelling and multimedia design inspired by Sun Ra’s philosophy and his film Space Is the Place. The work functions as both a concert and an experiential ritual where musicians, performers, visual elements and audience members collectively shape the space into a place. Metaphorically building the vehicle that Sun Ra aspired towards, expressing Afrofuturistic themes of transcendence, liberation and joy. This cosmic jam session culminates in the audience crowning a ""New Sun Ra,"" who leads the full audience on a pilgrimage to the Hammer Museum for one final performance, where everyone is invited to play along. Presented in conjunction with the Hammer Museum’s current exhibition SPACE IS THE PLACE, which frames “space” as a conceptual framework inspired by the works and views of experimental jazz artist Sun Ra.

@ Join BP Century City Chapter for their monthly meeting! Meet our speaker: Wayne Nitti is a diehard Bruin. Following in the footsteps of his four older siblings, Wayne graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Economics-Business from UCLA in 1991. During his time as a Bruin, Wayne was also a two-sport Varsity athlete in track and cross-country. He continued his studies at Harvard Law School, graduating with honors in 1994 and returning to Los Angeles to start his legal career as a litigation associate at Latham & Watkins. In 2000, Wayne left the full-time practice of law to begin his MBA studies at the Wharton School, graduating with distinction in the areas of Finance and Entrepreneurial Management. Determined to start his own venture, Wayne returned to Southern California in 2002 and began researching businesses across various industries. Believing there was a significant opportunity in litigation software, Wayne hired a developer and created Case Anywhere, an online platform connecting judges, lawyers, and professional staff in complex litigation matters. The self-financed Company later expanded into arbitrations and administrative matters and became recognized as a technology leader in the dispute resolution space. The platform has hosted many of the largest cases in the State of California, including the Woolsey Fire cases, the Social Addiction cases, and the sexual abuse cases against the clergy, among thousands of other matters. In November 2024, after a competitive bidding process, Wayne sold the business to a strategic acquirer and continued to run the Company as its CEO for another year. He currently serves as a consultant to Case Anywhere as he evaluates other opportunities. Wayne is married to Lisa, a former partner at Greenberg Traurig who has her own entertainment law practice, and has two teenage children, Emily and Blake. He drags all of them to the Rose Bowl and Pauley Pavilion as season ticket holders. Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ More Than a Trophy – A Lasting Legacy Join Bruin Affiliates for our September luncheon as Cori Close shares her experience coaching a winning team and her approach to carrying it forward. Cori coached the UCLA women’s basketball team to its first- ever NCAA championship last season, and shares the credit with her outstanding woman’s team that exemplified resilience, toughness and a strong bond that held them together during the remarkable season. Mentored by the legendary John Wooden, she has instilled values that brought the team to national recognition. “It’s not about any one of us — it’s about what we build together.” Close has built an extraordinary legacy at UCLA since taking over as head coach in 2011, compiling a 321-143 record and becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach. Her crowning achievement came in 2026 when she led the Bruins to their first-ever women’s basketball national championship, going 37-1 and routing South Carolina 79-51 in the title game, capping back-to-back Big Ten Tournament titles in 2025 and 2026. Along the way she swept all four major national Coach of the Year awards in 2024-25, developed seven WNBA draft picks, and received the 2024 WBCA Carol Eckman Integrity in Coaching Award — earning a contract extension through the 2029-30 season in recognition of her sustained excellence both on and off the court. $45 members only (active annual dues paid), $50 per person ### [Town & Gown Affiliates of UCLA](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/the-town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ Travel back more than 250 years to explore the pioneers and innovators who originated from the Presidio—and helped shape San Francisco, the United States, and the world. The journey begins by recognizing and honoring the Ramaytush Ohlone people, the first stewards of this land. From there, explore the dramatic transitions of power over the Presidio between three powerful countries and discover how the Presidio evolved from a strategic military outpost into one of the most popular national parks in the country. The tour will last approximately 2 hours, and we will walk 1.3 miles. The trail is mostly flat with some inclines. We advise that you please wear layers, as the weather changes drastically.

@ Change is the only constant in life, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult, a career pivot you’re contemplating or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. However it shows up, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck, stifled, and afraid tomorrow. Yet, if you are inclined toward personal growth, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom, inner stability and even growth. In this session with Jim Hjort, an executive and career coach, personal development trainer and licensed psychotherapist, you’ll learn: • Why your inner critic and pessimist is actually a key part of your team • Why you may do all the “right” things, while feeling less and less satisfied with your life • How to look beneath the surface of your life story to identify what makes you feel truly alive—so you can have more of that • Communication skills to help you show up for yourself first, so you can show up whole and healthy for anyone else you want in your life • How to not just survive chaos and uncertainty, but embrace it as the essential journey of your life Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ We will be hiking Sullivan Fire Road in the Palisades with spectacular views of the Santa Monica mountains and a few spots with view of the Santa Monica Bay. It’s in and out so those who want a shorter hike can turn around 5 miles when we get to the overlook of Camp Josepho and the rest of us will continue on for a longer hike to a large oak tree about a mile or so further in for a longer hike of around 7/7.5 miles. There is streets parking on Casale if you turn right on Capri. If there is no parking on Casale, streets below should have parking. Please arrive early to account for time to find parking. Please also bring water, snacks, and sun protection as you will need. ### [Westside Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/los-angeles-westside-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live
