Season 1, Episode 3 — Claire Chase and Li HarrisJoin us in the studio with MacArthur “Genius” Fellow and Harvard Music Professor Claire Chase, and her longtime collaborator Lisa (Li) E. Harris.In this episode, ArtLab Director Bree Edwards and co-host Kristian Hardy, a Harvard College sophomore, explore how Chase and Harris are reshaping the landscape of music and performance through experimental composition and collaboration.Professor Chase commissioned Harris to create A Black Woman Told Me, And I Believe Her: A Movement Still Moving, a musical work co-written and performed by Harvard first-year students in 2021 and 2022. The piece—performed live at ArtLab—embodies a powerful exploration of belief, movement, and artistic community.Beyond her work as a composer and performer, Harris is the founder and Creative Director of Studio Enertia, an arts, education, and production studio based in Houston, Texas. Both artists are deeply committed to collaboration and education as core to their artistic and advocacy practices.Tune in as we discuss how their partnership continues to push the boundaries of art, sound, and collective creation.Link to Claire’s residency page on the ArtLab website:  https://artlab.harvard.edu/Claire-Chase Link to Lisa’s residency page on the ArtLab website: https://artlab.harvard.edu/lisa-e-harris Link to Studio Enertia: https://studioenertia.tumblr.com/ Link to Kristian Hardy’s biography: https://artlab.harvard.edu/people/kristian-hardy Works in Progress is recorded and produced in the Mead Production Lab, located on the traditional territory of the Massachusetts people, the original inhabitants of what is now known as Boston and Cambridge.
