Film Screening with Original Soundtrack by Rodrigo Sigal

February 18, 2026 | 7:00 PM

INTS 1128 – CHASS Interdisciplinary Screening Room

FREE and open to the public

Paulo Chagas, Event Coordinator

UC Riverside’s Department of Music presents a special screening of ¡Que Viva Mexico!, Sergei Eisenstein’s iconic, unfinished film project, accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Rodrigo Sigal and commissioned by UC Riverside.

Although Eisenstein (1898–1948) never completed the film, an edited version of his original footage was released in 1979 and has since become a landmark in film history. ¡Que Viva Mexico! is emblematic of Eisenstein’s transnational aesthetic vision and of a broader historical shift—from the sensory experimentation of modern art to the mass mediation of perception in global culture.

Rodrigo Sigal’s newly composed soundtrack approaches the film from two complementary perspectives. First, he assigns distinct timbral motives to the film’s characters, forging a close identity between image and sound. Second, he structures the music through the film’s visual layers, allowing cinematic montage to inform musical segmentation. The score integrates prehispanic instruments, materials from the 1979 soundtrack, and electroacoustic elements, creating a rich dialogue between past and present.

Commissioned by UC Riverside in 2021, this work offers a powerful reimagining of a silent-film classic and resonates with themes of Mexican cultural history and ritual, including connections to Día de los Muertos and other festive traditions.

🎥 Rodrigo Sigal on ¡Que Viva Mexico!:

https://youtu.be/mO2wnUDV_Cg

Jorge Rodrigo Sigal Sefchovich (Mexico City, 1971) is a composer, cultural organizer, and professor of Music and Artistic Technologies at the National School of Higher Studies (ENES), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Morelia, where he co-founded the undergraduate program in Music and Artistic Technologies. His work focuses on electroacoustic music and the creative use of new technologies.

Since 2006, Sigal has served as Director of the Mexican Center for Music and Sonic Arts (CMMAS), leading national and international initiatives in artistic creation, education, research, and cultural management in sound and music. In 2024, he received the Bellas Artes Medal in Music from Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL).

Sigal holds a PhD from City University of London, completed postdoctoral research at UNAM, and has received numerous fellowships and grants, including Fulbright, FONCA, and support from UNAM and the DeVos Institute for Cultural Management. He is a Level I member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (CONACYT). For over two decades, he has been a member of the interdisciplinary collective Lumínico, is the director of the Visiones Sonoras Festival, and serves as editor of the journal Ideas Sónicas.

This talk begins by thinking with Toni Morrison's novel, Beloved, and her notion of a “too thick” love. Too thick feeling is a racially gendered problem for affect theory, one that not only exposes the latter's residual humanisms but that opens onto the possibility of thinking with the minor affective registers of Black existence. Highlighting the conjunction between Black critiques of humanism and those repertoires of wayward feeling that subtend Black existence, this talk argues that too thick feeling moves us through the undertheorized racially gendered declensions and transfigurations within registers of feeling such as slowness, exhaustion, bitterness, and perseverance. Moving between Beloved and Charles Burnett's 1978 film Killer of Sheep, this talk suggests that this indeterminate genre of feeling emerges precisely through its immanent exposure to and subjection before an anti-Black world that demands but cannot abide its intelligibility.

Rizvana Bradley is Associate Professor of Film and Media and Affiliated Faculty in the History of Art and the Center for Race and Gender at the University of California, Berkeley. Bradley has been named the John Grace Memorial Philosopher in Residence at the University of British Columbia. She was the 2023–24 Terra Foundation for American Art Visiting Professor at the John F.

Bradley is the author of Anteaesthetics: Black Aesthesis and the Critique of Form (Stanford University Press, 2023), shortlisted for the 2024 MLA Prize for a First Book and named one of the Top Books of 2023 by FRIEZE. The book was a recipient of the Creative Capital Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. Bradley’s work examines modern and contemporary art, film and digital media, and literature through critical interrogations of aesthetic theory, Continental philosophy, and art history in order to rethink the stakes of and methods for the interpretation of aesthetic forms.

Her scholarship has appeared in Diacritics: A Review of Contemporary Criticism, Film-Philosophy, TDR: The Drama Review, Discourse: Journal for Theoretical Studies in Media and Culture, Rhizomes: Cultural Studies in Emerging Knowledge, Black Camera: An International Film Journal, Film Quarterly, and Women and Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory.

Her work has been translated into four languages.

Bradley has curated a number of academic arts symposia, including events at the British Film Institute, London, the Serpentine Galleries, London, the Stedelijk Museum of Art, Amsterdam, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York.

Her work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, Creative Capital, and the Andy Warhol Foundation. In 2025, Bradley delivered the annual J.

She has been invited to give keynotes at the Documenta Institut, Jeu de Paume, Kunstmuseum Basel, the University of Amsterdam, Rhode Island School of Design, Tate Britain, Modern Art Oxford, Utrecht University, and the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Bradley has also served as a visiting critic at the Yale School of Art, the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford, and was most recently a critic and theorist in residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is on the advisory board of the Centre for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto.

Before coming to UC Berkeley, Bradley was an Assistant Professor in the History of Art and African American Studies at Yale, an Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality at Emory University, and a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of the History of Art at the University College London. She holds a BA from Williams College and a PhD from Duke University, and was a Helena Rubinstein Critical Studies Fellow at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

By Félix Lope de Vega y Carpio, translated by Curt Columbus

Director: Melanie Queponds
Scenic Designer: Kerry Jones
Costume Designer: Gee-gee Brass
Lighting Designer: Ben Tusher
Sound Designer: Kiah Fisher

In 1476, famine and unrest grip a fragile Spain newly united under Isabella and Ferdinand, even as King Alfonso of Portugal presses his claim. With the Knights of Calatrava wavering in loyalty, the fledgling kingdom teeters on the edge of civil war.

Please be advised that this production includes atmospheric smoke and loud sound effects, and contains some strong language, historic negative depictions of Moorish people and cultures, references to war, adult themes, sexual and tense situations, and scenes of violence.

The performance length is approximately 100 minutes, with no intermission.

The University of California has enhanced the UC Retirement Savings Program with a new Roth contribution option for the UC 403(b) and UC 457(b) Plans, giving you more flexibility to save and plan for your future through regular pretax contributions, new Roth contributions, or both.

Who Might Benefit From Contributions

While Roth contributions are designed for anyone who likes the idea of potentially tax-free retirement income, here are some scenarios to consider:

Are you a younger saver?

In general, the younger you are when you start making Roth contributions, the more you may benefit. Why? Because you have a longer time frame for growth and to benefit from the power of compounding.Think your income tax rate will be higher in retirement?

If you think your tax rate will be higher in retirement—either due to higher income or higher overall tax rates—when you take your distributions, consider making Roth contributions.Want tax flexibility in retirement? Once you retire, your expenses may vary more year-to-year than they do today.

Roth dollars can help you cover larger expenses without increasing your taxable income for the year. And, if you have a combination of pretax and Roth contributions, you have flexibility to chose which distribution type to take based on your tax situation.Interested in leaving tax-free money to your beneficiaries?

Roth dollars are potentially free of federal income taxes to beneficiaries of inherited retirement savings. The pros and cons are subtle and complex, however, so consult an attorney or estate planning expert before attempting to use your RSP as part of your estate plan.Not eligible to contribute to a Roth?

While income limits may prevent you from contributing to a Roth, the UC 403(b) and 457(b) Plans don’t carry these income limits. So if you’re not eligible to contribute to a Roth due to income limits, but would like potentially tax-free income in retirement, consider Roth contributions.

Brett’s performance of the music of Hildegard of Bingen, who in 1179 resisted church authorities’ censorship forbidding her convent from singing mass;their animated music video for a composition of 17th-century Milanese nun Rosa Giacinta Badalla, who in her day defied an edict against polyphonic music. Her motet celebrates 6th-century Saint Radegund’s escape from the royal palace to monastic life;excerpts from a film collaboration with UCR experimental choreography MFA alumna Mariia Bakalo on 9th-century hymnographer Kassia of Byzantium, who declared “I hate silence when it is a time to speak”--and legendarily spoiled her chances of becoming empress with a sharp-tongued retort to the emperor;an excerpt of a new opera by Kate Soper, in which Brett plays one of three virtuous maidens put out as unicorn bait who slowly develop solidarity and learn to resist patriarchal oppression.

Abstract: In his 1653 Treatise of Fruit-Trees, arboriculturist Ralph Austen outlines a sequence of “three Affections…which worke powerfully upon the spirits”: hope, which leads to joy, which in turn produces admiration, or what today we call awe. Austen traces the way encountering trees (the largest life forms most residents of early modern England would ever see) leads to awe, but that sense of astonishment suffuses much of seventeenth-century English literature’s most audacious experiments in genre and poetics. Wonder drove readers and writers in technical, imaginative, prescriptive, and speculative literature to redefine their own place in the world as fundamentally, if often vexedly, interlinked. Looking at specimen cases from among early modern treatments of trees, whales, planets, and other natural phenomena, this talk explores the way awe reformulates the workings of poetry and community in the literature of the period, and contemplates a recuperatively communal eco-logic subtending the making and sharing of knowledge, in the seventeenth century and in ours.

Robotics Lab Series

From Code to Creation: An Introduction to Applied Mechatronics

Level up your technical skill development with this unique, hands-on workshop where you will build a functional animatronic eye. This project serves as a perfect, low-barrier entry point into the interconnected worlds of robotics, microcontrollers, and motion control.

Key Skill Development Areas:

Microcontroller Basics: Gain practical experience with the Arduino platform, the industry-standard tool for rapid prototyping and connecting code to the physical world. You will learn how microcontrollers function as the "brain" of any smart device.Applied Coding (C++): Learn the core concepts of Arduino's C++ syntax to command specific actions, focusing on writing clean and effective code to control movement and timing.Servo Motor Control: Master the fundamentals of utilizing servo motors for precise, repeatable angular movement. This skill is critical for any project involving robotics, linkages, or precise positioning.3D Printing Integration: Understand how to prepare and integrate a custom-designed, 3D-printed component (the eye) with electronic and mechanical parts, bridging the gap between digital design and physical construction.

Future Research and Application:

The principles learned here directly support future research and academic projects, including:

Robotics: Creating sophisticated end-effectors, joints, or sensor-sweeping mechanisms.Kinematics: Experimenting with motion pathways and simulating complex mechanical movements.Prototyping: Rapidly creating proof-of-concept mechanical interfaces for larger projects in engineering or computer vision.Participants will leave the workshop with a solid understanding of a complete electromechanical system, and a take-home kit consisting of your personal 3D-printed eye and servo motor to continue your skill development journey.

Deep learning models, despite their power, lag behind the biological brain in interpretability, energy efficiency, and physical plausibility. This presentation explores the mathematical design principles of biological neural circuits -- building upon the classic concept that neural activity is fundamentally driven by cost minimization and energy landscapes. We demonstrate a direct mathematical equivalence between the firing dynamics of recurrent neural networks and "proximal gradient descent," a novel dynamical system used to solve optimization problems. This framework provides a top-down explanation for how biological networks process information, illustrated through examples such as sparse signal reconstruction in the visual cortex and decision-making via the free energy principle. Finally, we extend these concepts to complex excitatory-inhibitory circuits, modeling neurons as players in a mathematical game. We conclude by briefly discussing how these biological insights can inspire next-generation analog and neuromorphic computing.

Lilian Mengesha

This talk will detail insights from Dr. Mengesha’s new book Critical Dreaming: Feminist Performances Across the Indigenous Americas, which is a transnational study of Indigenous artists that stages the urgency of embodied ways of knowing amidst the colonial decimation of culture, life, and land. In the 1990s, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and US and Canadian boarding/residential schools’ practices led to an increase in cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women from the US-Mexico border, Guatemala, Canada, and the United States. Indigenous artists aiming to recontextualize these state-sponsored instances of violence created works grappling with time, ancestry, and relationality. Dr. Mengesha interprets the works of these artists’ Indigenous contexts through an aesthetic frame she calls “critical dreaming.”

Using methods from performance studies, gender studies, and Indigenous studies, Critical Dreaming considers artists as expert world makers. Dr. Mengesha examines selected works by Lara Kramer, Regina José Galindo, Rebecca Belmore, Monique Mojica, LeAnne Howe, and Sky Hopinka, demonstrating how each materializes alternative modes of experiencing time, making kin, and communing with land. Revealing the long and interconnected patterns of feminicide across the Americas, the talk will detail how contemporary feminist artists use performance to sustain life amid devastating attempts at extermination.

Lilian Mengesha is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies, and Affiliate faculty in the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism and Diaspora at Tufts University which occupies Massachusett and Nipmuc territories. Her research and teaching live at the intersection of critical Indigenous studies, gender and sexuality studies and performance studies. Her talk will draw from her first book, Critical Dreaming: Feminist Performances Across the Indigenous Americas (NYU Press, 2025). You can find her other writing in the Journal for Dramatic Theory and Criticism, ASAP Journal, Canadian Theatre Review and The Drama Review. In addition to research and teaching, Dr. Mengesha is a director and dramaturge for experimental performance and new works.

In the Hour of Chaos: Hip Hop Art & Activism with Public Enemy’s Chuck D highlights the transformative power of Hip Hop with some of the nation’s most insightful thinkers on the art form’s social, cultural, and political significance. Guided by Chuck D himself, the film tells the story of how artists, activists, and academics came together at UCLA to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop cultural history. The all-star line-up of guests explores the profound impact of an arts movement that revolutionized the world.

Over much of the last 4 decades, Chuck D’s music and activism have taught so many of us. This film captures Chuck D at his best, engaging some of the nation’s leading public intellectuals on the social origins of Hip Hop culture and its continued evolution. The film covers a range of topics, including Black radical movements, Hip Hop feminisms, and the global circulation of the culture within the ever-evolving music and entertainment industries. Narrated by Chuck D, this film follows his tenure as the UCLA Hip Hop Initiative’s inaugural Artist-in-Residence. No other film captures this journey, at this critical juncture in our history, as we celebrate over half a century of Hip Hop with one of its most important and globally-recognized voices. And no other artist speaks so powerfully and eloquently about Hip Hop’s continued relevance in today’s “hour of chaos.”

Saving Turfgrass in California and the Southwest.
In a region with increasing population, temperature, and drought, and consequential declining water resources, turfgrass is often the primary target for removal or even prohibition from the landscape. Dr. Baird will set the record straight about the functional, aesthetic, and environmental benefits of turfgrass including providing tips for water conservation on lawns and landscapes. Most notably, he will highlight the UCR Turfgrass Breeding & Genetics program that is making significant strides towards developing turfgrasses with improved drought resistance.

"The War on Cancer: Evolution and Our Modern Environment"

Leonard Nunney, PhD Distinguished UCR Professor Emeritus of the Graduate Division
Tuesday, March 3, 2026 from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. with Reception to follow
Presentation delivered in-person at University Extension Building Room 1101 and Livestreamed via Zoom

Description
Cancer is primarily a disease of old age, so an increase in cancer risk is an unwelcome side-effect of the benefit of living longer. But beyond this trade-off, an important but largely unanswered question is how much of our cancer risk earlier in life is due to our environment, our genes, or simply bad luck. I have been looking at this problem from the perspective of an evolutionary biologist, by first arguing (and then demonstrating) that the ability of animals to reduce the risk of cancer is an evolving trait, and then using this knowledge to identify specific human cancers that appear to have become markedly more common because of our modern way of life.

By calling in Hortense Spillers’ theory of flesh, we name the labor of Black women/femme scholars and artists who have contributed to shaping Dance Studies. We continue to interrogate racialized and gendered assumptions of personhood that underlie foundational terms and keywords in dance and performance, such as choreography, technique, performativity, and “the body.” We are interested in how academic research, aesthetic practices and teaching methodologies may contribute to disrupting or upholding hegemonic structures that condition our ways of being and perceiving the world.

Mlondi Zondi

Hybrid / Join In-Person or Join on Zoom

Faustin Linyekula’s performance practice addresses historical violence and the violence of History. Sustained in his inquiry is an effort to recover absented maternal heritage. To what extent does the recognition of this absented (maternal) knowledge reveal “truth” and transmit memory beyond the document, and how far does this recovery through performance reconsign African immaterial heritage into the logic of the archive? What kind of philosophy of history emerges through contemporary African dance?

Mlondi Zondi (they/he) is an assistant professor of global Black studies in comparative literature at the University of Southern California. They hold a PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University and an MFA in Dance from UC Irvine. Zondi is currently working on a monograph entitled Unmournable Void: Figuration, Violence, and Corporeal Integrity in Contemporary African (Diaspora) Expressive Arts. Forthcoming or published essays by Zondi appear in TDR: The Drama Review, ASAP Journal, Contemporary Literature, Espace Art Actuel, Liquid Blackness, Mortality, Performance Philosophy, and Safundi. In addition to scholarly research, Zondi practices performance and dramaturgy.

Part of “Transversal Re/Configurations: Flesh, Bodies, and Matter in Motion”
Current Topics in Dance Research Colloquium Series: January 08 - March 12, 2026.

– María Regina Firmino-Castillo, Curator & Coordinator.

Mlondi Zondi’s participation in “Transversal Re/Configurations: Flesh, Bodies, and Matter in Motion” was curated by the 2026 Dance GSA “Critical Dance Experiments” Conference Organizing Committee (Erika Villeroy da Costa, Chair; Michelle Cole, Co-Chair; SUR Sanford; and Sam Briseno-Jimenez) and co-cordinated with María Regina Firmino-Castillo. This collaboration centers graduate students’ vision in the forging of new directions in dance making and study.

Transversal Re/Configurations: Flesh, Bodies, and Matter in Motion was made possible through generous sponsorships from the California Center for Native Nations; the Rupert Costo Endowment in American Indian Affairs, University of California, Riverside; the CHASS Dean's Office and the Center for Ideas and Society; and the Departments of Music, Ethnic Studies, Gender & Sexuality Studies, and Media & Cultural Studies.

Many thanks to: taisha paggett (Department of Dance, Chairperson), Anthea Kraut (Department of Dance, Vice-Chair), Courtney Brubaker (Events Specialist), and Pete Pace (Technical Director) for their generous support of the Colloquium, and to Jonathan Ritter (Department of Music, Chairperson) and María del Rosario Acosta López (Professor, Hispanic Studies Department) for their vision and collaboration.

• Develop embodied awareness through sound, breath, and listening to establish physiological safety and baseline regulation

Session 2: Stillness as Skill (Feb 20)

• Cultivate stillness as an active regulatory capacity that supports focus, clarity, and non-reactivity
• Strengthen the ability to pause under pressure without loss of authority, momentum, or presence
• Apply stillness as a practical tool for cognitive reset, decision-making, and emotional regulation

Session 3: Integration & Embodied Leadership (Feb 27)

• Integrate sonic and somatic regulation practices into everyday leadership, teaching, and communication contexts
• Demonstrate embodied authority through regulated presence, tone, and pacing rather than force or performance
• Sustain self-governed regulation to support ethical decision-making, resilience, and long-term capacity

TILLY NO-BODY

A remarkable true story of resilience and love
Written and performed by Bella Merlin
Directed by Miles Anderson

March 6, 8:00pm
March 7, 2:00pm
ARTS Studio Theatre
Free and open to the public
No reservations required (first-come first-served). Doors open 30 minutes prior to show time.
The performance will begin promptly at the announced curtain time and latecomers will only be seated at an appropriate pause in the program.

Germany, 1917. A lone woman. A bottle of poison. A momentous decision…

In a deserted circus, drama, humour, music and songs tell the true story of actress Tilly Wedekind and her controlling, famous writer-husband, Frank Wedekind (Spring Awakening). When Frank robs Tilly of her acting roles he reduces her to a Nobody. Broken-hearted, she swallows poison. But following her recovery, she reclaims her career, discovers her voice, and as an 80-year-old woman she finally writes her own story. Tilly No-Body becomes a Somebody.

This internationally acclaimed, tour-de-force performance about sex and love, transformation and identity asks: Why do we stay in relationships long after they’ve turned toxic? How can we find our voices after we’ve been silenced? Can sharing our stories help us reshape our lives?

Award-winning actor and writer Bella Merlin brings her previous experience of a violent relationship: “Tilly’s resilience came through writing her own story – mine has come through playing her. It became a way of saying we can get through this, we can survive.”

BODY-WORD-VOICE is a practice-as-research initiative led by Drs. Annika Speer and Bella Merlin, funded by SoCal/OASIS/Office of Research and Economic Development. We use theatrical performance, actor-training skills, and public-speaking techniques as a means of listening to the body, finding words for the embodied information, and giving voice to those words. We explore creative frameworks and mindful practices for navigating complex emotions through shared storytelling, witnessing and listening.
