We propose movement as fundamental to existence as breath. Breathing life, moving life, with attendance towards one another. Through realizing interests in collaborative care, we believe it is possible to permeate into performance, choreographic, and teaching artistries. A way to further succinctly identify and communicate the values of wandering through intangible movement, lost and found, with well-being and care as a fulcrum that doesn’t shy away from but presses into reflective evaluative works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/674b5839ffffab7a8ef852b5/2ed266cf-7aa0-4248-b534-49d24d255b11/B131D16F-8F2B-423A-A21E-E26B08E6B68E.jpeg Chicago Choreographers Showcase - Make it stand out Elizabeth Shea Dance Reviewed as “a remarkable contemporary dance display,” Elizabeth Shea’s choreography has been produced by the John F.

Her work declares aliveness and unapologetic presence, disrupting systems that restrict bodily autonomy. Her lived experience, community, and training as a dancer, runner, and athlete fuel her movement invention. Pushing against a capitalist patriarchal hegemony intent on driving us to numb and isolate, her work activates a need to connect to our bodies and one another to survive. Emerging from energetic practices and queer/feminist theory, the choreographic material metabolizes experiences of trauma and violence. Lucy is currently pursuing an MFA in Dance at The Ohio State University. She has been an artist-in-residence at Levy Dance, Iowa Choreography Festival, and SAFEhouse Arts. She has shown her work in festivals such as Berkeley’s Broad Statements Festival, Ohio Dance Festival, and PUSHfest Global to name a few. In 2024, she participated in the ATLAS choreographic training program at ImPulsTanz, Vienna’s International Dance Festival. Lucy moves from core commitments to anti-racism, sustainable practices, and body empowerment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/674b5839ffffab7a8ef852b5/efe05cc3-3cbd-4ded-a2f0-71c803ecfbc2/WD24-CWP-9506.jpg Chicago Choreographers Showcase - Make it stand out Lia Smith-Redmann Lia Smith-Redmann is a Wisconsin-based artist, dancer, and writer.

About Gianna Burright: Hi my name is Gianna Burright. I am from a small town in Southern California, Ojai, land of the Chumash peoples. I grew up with a mother as an educator and a father as an artist. Arts and education have always been a part of my life, both equally have shaped me into the person that I am today and the career that I have built. I am an introvert, learnt extrovert (thanks dad). When ever I speak in public or perform in front of an audience my hands shake. Besides dancing and creating, traveling is what makes me feel most alive. I am shy upon first meeting but I am intently listening. I grew up playing competitive soccer and horseback riding, I love being in nature, and I am obsessed with my puppy Luna who has a plethora nicknames that drive my loved ones crazy. I lived in London and fell in love with the city which makes it hard for me to commit to live in any other city. I had a transatlantic relationship, and though it didn’t work, it was one hell of an adventure. I have a hard time keeping both my feet on the ground, metaphorically but physically I basically never jump. I cry at pretty much everything even when I watch a stranger win something on TV, seeing them so happy brings tears to my eyes. I miss my grandmothers deeply. I sometimes question if I am on the right path and feel very alone in my journey. I love anything that reminds me of childhood and I crave performances that shake me to my core. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/674b5839ffffab7a8ef852b5/b652e00e-5548-4512-99d6-8efc30b25523/image2.jpeg Chicago Choreographers Showcase - Make it stand out Miranda McGovern Miranda McGovern is a BFA graduate of The Ohio State University.

His goals as a filmmaker are to create visual experiences that allow audiences to enjoy surreal scenes and stories that are possible in only in the cinema, while revealing a deeper truth about reality. The audience experiences extraordinary and meaningful moments -- impossible in real life -- through these visual and auditory experiences. In these moments, he believes the filmmaker or the director has a unique opportunity to deliver powerful messages using his or her capacity to manipulate images and sounds and with the power of the imagination. This is a beauty that only film and video can produce.

His goals as a filmmaker are to create visual experiences that allow audiences to enjoy surreal scenes and stories that are possible in only in the cinema, while revealing a deeper truth about reality. The audience experiences extraordinary and meaningful moments -- impossible in real life -- through these visual and auditory experiences. In these moments, he believes the filmmaker or the director has a unique opportunity to deliver powerful messages using his or her capacity to manipulate images and sounds and with the power of the imagination. This is a beauty that only film and video can produce. He received a master of fine arts degree from San Francisco State University and he teaches courses as an Assistant Professor in the area of film production at Oakland University, especially focused on editing, sound design, color correction, animation and visual effects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/674b5839ffffab7a8ef852b5/1732991117599-NH3MT3MHAWONZVGFSSOR/IMG_6644.jpg Master

Starting in commercial filmmaking, Minsu has directed campaigns for brands like KB Card, Hyundai, and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), as well as music videos for artists such as Roy Kim, CHEN, and Stella Jang. However, his deep fascination with movement as a cinematic language led him into the world of screendance—a medium where choreography and film merge to create something visceral and transcendent. His works have been recognized at international film festivals, including: "CHIMERA" – Official Selection, 2025 Seoul Dance Film Festival "I, Dear" – Official Selection, 2025 Busan International Short Film Festival "First Move" – Best Screendance, Indie Short Fest (LA) Through KKUM, Minsu continues to push the boundaries of movement-based storytelling, embracing both the raw energy of dance and the poetic stillness of cinema. His vision is simple yet profound: to capture movement as memory, emotion, and timeless art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/674b5839ffffab7a8ef852b5/b2843690-1c00-4967-bf50-2f091d1d1fff/Timeline+1_01_01_02_12.jpg Dance On Screen - Make it stand out Genevieve Kochanowicz, “Red Robin” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/674b5839ffffab7a8ef852b5/5bcdf719-c83f-4609-a9e5-bceb0f301aa1/kneeling+scorched.jpg Dance On Screen - Make it stand out Thayer Jonutz, “Scorches” Thayer was born and raised in California to a roofing contractor father who was a lifelong saxophonist and a Hawaiian dancing mother, in 1978. His California hometown was the small city of Diamond Springs, in El Dorado County. This is where he found dance as a 14 year old. Now 33 years later, Thayer’s world is imbedded in Oakland Township, which is found in Oakland County, Michigan. Thayer is happily married, raising 5 children, 2 biological and 3 adopted. The youngest, identical twin boys who are both nonverbally autistic add a unique level of daily adventure. All of this feeds into Thayer’s drive as a creator.

He earned his MFA dance degree from the University of Michigan before beginning his professorship position at Oakland University in 2009. As a seasoned educator and artist Thayer strives to continually challenge his comfort zone. His current multiyear creative process on the solo concert Hammer and Nail has pushed Thayer outside the typical modern dance aesthetic and has merged acting, vocalization, sound engineering, video projections, and integrative props to tell his pandemic survival narrative. Hammer and Nail has enjoyed much success winning the 2023 Oakland University President’s Colloquium award, presenting it at both Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University January 2024, and performing it in Spanish for the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, July 2024.
