DESCRIPTION:Like Japanese linked verse (Renga) poets of old\, four artists 
 inspire and riff off of one other in unexpected ways. Enka superstar Jero\,
  video animator Yoriko Mizushiri\, legendary illlustrator Katsuya Terada\, 
 and creative genius Matt Fargo share a single stage. \n\nThis event is co-s
 ponsored by Hapa SC \n\nFlyer | RSVP\n\nThe USC Renga-poi event will showca
 se a diverse group of artists\, including a including Jero\, a superstar in
  the Japanese enka music world\; Yoriko Mizushiri\, one of Japan’s leading 
 female animators and video artists\; Katsuya Terada\, manga (or Japanese-st
 yle comic book) artist\, well-known for his “live drawing” performances and
  his illustrations for Nintendo and Playstation\; and Matt Fargo\, translat
 or and author of numerous books on Japanese contemporary art and society an
 d lead programmer at Tokyo-based design and technology company\, Creative L
 ab PARTY.\n\nJapanese linked verse\, called renga\, is a collaborative art 
 form in which members of a group\, each in turn\, compose a poetic link. Ev
 ery link riffs off what came immediately prior to it\, but also moves thing
 s forward\, creating a space for the next impromptu link by someone else. P
 articipants and audience together look on as the links gradually come to fo
 rm a chainlike poetic sequence - a rich and unexpected composite artistry t
 hat goes beyond what a solo artist can do. Our concept\, renga-poi (literal
 ly “Renga-like” or “Renga-ish”) takes a cue from renga's collaborative spon
 taneity wherein during a single event\, multiple artists work together in t
 urn\, taking inspiration from their predecessor while also inspiring the on
 e who comes next.
