Listen "Victoria Marks: Choreographing conversation"
Episode Synopsis
Conversations feel especially fraught in this time of political and social division. Choreographer, filmmaker, scholar, and activist Victoria Marks has made a career of orchestrating dances for people one normally wouldn’t see on stage – mothers and daughters, elderly men, combat veterans – for what she calls “action conversations.”In this episode, Marks, the associate dean of academic affairs for the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture and a professor of choreography in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance, reflects on the importance of leading by listening; the ‘10 Questions’ event series she co-curates with an arts-led multi-disciplinary approach to exploring essential questions; and how she is making dance in a time of physical distancing.
