Repost from George Mason University Center for the Arts: "Join Linda Miller, Professor of Dance History in George Mason University’s School of Dance, for a conversation with dancer, choreographer, and alumnus Leila Mire, live on the Center for the Arts Facebook page. Leila is a recent 2020 award recipient of the Young Alumni Commissioning Award for her (in-progress) work exploring the Ballet Russe's 1910 ballet, "Scheherazade" as a product of imagined colonialist and orientalized renderings of a created "Other." This discussion will center around Leila's research process, how that goes from idea to performance over the course of the next year, and include video samples. Tune in and ask Leila your questions about her new piece!" Leila Mire is a Lebanese-American dance maker, educator, writer, and performer based in New York City. She focuses on movement as a cultural form of communication. To learn more about her check out the links below!
