Emerging as a dominant brand in Los Angeles, Minimal Effort will return this Halloween to create a haven for dance music connoisseurs with no boundaries once again. A certain commonality will exist between those in attendance, those that are performing, and the entities that may or may not be present.
Hosted by some of the most prominent names in dance music, the three stages will be curated for your enjoyment and entertainment. An abundance of artists will provide sounds for your enjoyment, some of which will be known to many and some which might be unknown to all (all those that are alive and present that is.)
Taking place at the magnificent Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, this is not going to be your ordinary Halloween event. For nearly 30 years, Belasco Theater was resurrected as a church and rumor has it that phantom footsteps were heard by members of the congregation coming from the stage as well as odd rustling sounds from back stage when the area was completely empty. A former organist tried to explain these sounds and believed that people actually heard a very elderly lady who lived under the stage who was “inherited” from the previous church. Occasional sightings of this woman eventually diminished and she did as well. Her true identity was never known and her spirit may still linger until this day…
The sounds you hear might not be coming from the speakers, the essence you feel might not be from within, the spirit you embrace might not be your own. Get ready for the most magnificent and extravagant Minimal Effort yet and proceed with caution…
Originally built in 1926, the Belasco Theater has played host to live performances, concerts, and special theatrical events since it was first held it's opening attraction entitled 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' by Anita Loos and became a hotspot for Hollywood performers and directors. It then closed down in 1952 and was used as a church until 1984 and until 2011 was used for film shoots.
In 2011, The Belasco was redesigned and reopened for business with most of its original architecture and design intact. Featured in 'Being John Malkovich', 'Swordfish', 'Memoirs of a Geisha', and 'The Presitge'; a visit to The Belasco is a truly visceral and visual experience. Taking place across three stages, the production setup will be unequivocal and complement the open air atmosphere. Starting in the evening and continuing well into the early morning, the ambience and aura will be unprecedented in this fabled venue.
