The choreographers will draw inspiration from the archive materials as well as the architectural landscapes in and around Doheny Memorial Lib rary to create simultaneous\, site-specific dance works to be enjoyed by r oving audiences.\n\nAfterward\, choreographers and audience members will c ome together for an interactive panel led by legendary choreographer Bebe Miller\, who has spearheaded a variety of digital archive projects. The co nversation will focus on the creative processes and illuminate the ways in which students\, artists\, and the community can engage with archives\, n ot just as static spaces for preservation but as storehouses of cultural m emory rich with possibilities for future creativity.\n\nBIOS:\nChris Emile is a choreographer\, performer\, and director based in Los Angeles. He re ceived his formal education from the Alvin Ailey School and the Alonzo Kin g LINES Ballet/Dominican University joint program receiving his BFA in dan ce. He is the co-founder/curator for movement based collective No)one. Art House\, which has programmed site-specific performances\, educational wor kshops\, and installations throughout Los Angeles since 2019. His work has been presented by Hauser & Wirth\, the Getty Museum\, MOCA Los Angeles\, and the California African American Museum\, among others.

He has been a guest lecturer at the California I nstitute of the Arts\, UCLA\, AMDA\, and Loyola Marymount University.\n\nJ inglin Liao is an interdisciplinary choreographer and performer working ac tively in fields related to body. Inspired by animals’ alertness\, her a im is to transform classical/traditional movement to individual body langu age together with a sense of danger. Using human instinct\, impulse\, emot ions\, and voice to trigger movement is another way she experiments in her choreography. Jinglin received her MFA in Choreography with a minor in In tegrated Media from CalArts in 2019. Her current works include Something A bout Heads\, Cat’s cradle\, Seek\, Cross the River\, and Uncapturable. J inglin has also had the opportunity to work with incredible choreographers /artists\, including Julie Bour\, Dimitri Chamblas\, Maxine Doyle\, Rosann a Gamson\, Tamara Rosenblum\, Gerard & Kelly\, and Hou Ying Dance Theater. \n\nMarina Magalhães is a border-crosser\, bridge-builder\, and dance-and -change-maker from Brazil based in Los Angeles. Her work is rooted in deco lonial diasporic praxis\, wherein ancestral\, ritual\, and social practice s are located as fertile sites for choreographic inquiry\, pedagogic encou nters\, and political possibility. She has shared her work throughout the U.S.\, Brazil\, Cuba\, Botswana\, South Africa\, Germany\, and France\, ea rning her an LA Weekly Theater Award for Best Choreography. Magalhães hol ds a BA in World Arts & Cultures/Dance from UCLA and an MFA in Dance from University of the Arts. She founded the Dancing Diaspora platform (funded by California Arts Council since 2017) and is a Visiting Lecturer at Scrip ps College. \n\nBebe Miller’s vision of dance and performance resides in her faith in the moving body as a record of thought\, experience\, and be auty. Her aesthetic relies on the interplay of a work’s idea\, its physi cality\, and the contributions of company members to fashion its singular voice. In 1985\, Bebe launched the Bebe Miller Company to expand the langu age of dance through work encompassing choreography\, writing\, film\, and video and digital media. She has received four New York Dance and Perform ance “Bessie” Awards and support from the National Endowment for the A rts\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, Guggenheim Foundation\, and many others. She was a United States Artists Ford Fellow\, received one of the first Doris Duke Artists Awards and a New York Live Arts’ 2013 David Whi te Award\, and was a 2015 Movement Research Honoree. A Distinguished Profe ssor in Dance at The Ohio State University’s College of Arts and Humanit ies from 2000–2016\, Miller received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Let ters from Ursinus College in 2009\n\nPresented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative.
