Berliozâs psychedelic masterpiece Symphonie Fantastique has become a specialty of conductor Gustavo Dudamel. One of the most important works of the early Romantic period, the piece tells the story of a gifted artist with a lively imagination and goes through various episodes in his life. Hear it in conjunction with Stravinskyâs crisply rhythmic neoclassical Symphony in C and Adamsâs aptly titled and thrilling Short Ride in a Fast Machine, a fanfare that is a perfect match for the famously energetic and passionate Dudamel.

Reception to follow.
Poet, essayist, playwright and Yale professor Elizabeth Alexander made history in 2009 as the fourth poet to compose and deliver a poem at a presidential inauguration, joining the ranks of celebrated honorees Robert Frost, Maya Angelou and Miller Williams. A longtime advocate of the arts as a critical element of our civic dialogue, she has said, âPoetry is not meant to cheer; rather, poetry challenges, and moves us towards transformation.â In an effort to create a more nuanced conversation about race and culture, she will discuss the rich and often surprising connections amongst diverse American cultures and traditions.
Professor Alexander has taught literature and creative writing and read her poetry across the United States and abroad for more than twenty years. In July 2009 she assumed the chair of the Department of African American Studies at Yale University. Her awards include a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, a Guggenheim fellowship and the Alphonse Fletcher, Sr., fellowship for work that âcontributes to improving race relations in American society.â Alexanderâs collections of poetry, which explore issues of race, gender and politics, include American Sublime, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; Antebellum Dream Book; The Venus Hottentot; and Body of Life. Her new book, Crave Radiance: New and Selected Poems 1990â2010, is her first retrospective volume. The daughter of a civil-rights advisor to President Johnson, she has come full circle, having recited her poem for the inauguration, âPraise Song for the Day,â on the same mall where, as a child, she witnessed Martin Luther King, Jr., deliver his iconic speech, âI Have a Dream.â
Organized by the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.

An Evening with John Waters
Fri, Oct 14, 2011 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free. Reservations required. Reservations will be accepted beginning Friday, September 23, at 9 a.m. at http://cinema.usc.edu.
Born in Baltimore in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age. As a teenager, Waters began making 8mm underground movies influenced by Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey.
In 1972, Waters created what would become the most notorious film of 1970s American independent cinema, Pink Flamingos. Centered on the great battle to secure the title âFilthiest People Alive,â Pink Flamingos pitted Divineâs Babs Johnson against Mink Stole and David Locharyâs truly evil Connie and Raymond Marble, while making Waters an internationally famous cult icon. Pink Flamingos went on to become a smash success at midnight screenings in the United States and all over the world. Waters has directed sixteen films, including Female Trouble, Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom, Pecker and A Dirty Shame. Following a screening of Pink Flamingos, James Egan, USC cinematic-arts professor and editor of the forthcoming book Interviews with John Waters, will moderate a conversation with Waters about his iconoclastic career as a filmmaker, author and celebrity.
Organized by the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Mon, Oct 17, 2011 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free.
Join us for two events featuring artist, programmer and writer Chandler McWilliams, co-author of the recently published Form+Code in Design, Art and Architecture.
Lecture and Screening
Monday, October 17, 7 p.m.
School of Cinematic Arts 112
McWilliams will describe computational aesthetics and provide examples of code (i.e., computer programs) as visual expression. He will also screen short-form videos that explore how the computational capacity of the computer has impacted our conceptions of image, sound and storytelling.
Workshop
Friday, October 21, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Institute for Multimedia Literacy Blue Lab
746 West Adams Boulevard, Los Angeles
Reservations required.
To RSVP, click here http://www.usc.edu/dept/pubrel/visionsandvoices/RSVP/reserve.php?RSVPEvtCode=184 beginning Wednesday, September 28, at 9 a.m.
The workshop will focus on the relationship between code (i.e., computer programs) and visual form. The event will be centered around six themes: designing with numbers, repetition, parameterization, visualization, transformation and simulation. Using these themes, we will discuss procedural and algorithmic work from architecture, design and fine art and use these starting points to learn the basics of computer programming and creating software for the screen. Each participant will work with sample programs related to the six themes.
About the Artist

He has studied film, photography and political science, and completed graduate work in philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York City. McWilliams is the co-author of Form+Code in Design, Art and Architecture. He lives in Los Angeles, where he teaches in the Department of Design Media Arts at the UCLA School of the Arts. His current work focuses on themes of affect, repetition, computation and epistemology.
Organized by Holly Willis (Cinematic Arts).

USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free.
Join us for a provocative evening of performance, media art and rebel phones. The event will highlight three extraordinary projects that support immigrant communities in Los Angeles through the use of mobile-phone devices. The controversial Transborder Immigrant Tool, a mobile-phone app by Ricardo Dominguez and the Electronic Disturbance Theater, helps sustain those crossing the border into the United States by assisting with directions to water and poetry. Voces Móviles/Mobile Voices (VozMob), a collaboration between USCâs Annenberg School and the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California, helps day laborers record and share their stories using cell phones. The LA Flood Project delivers a locative media narrative about crises in Los Angelesâboth historical and imagined. These stories, located across the Southern California landscape, are mapped via GPS. The evening will also include photographs by Maria de Lourdes González Reyes, a reading by Roberto Leni-Olivares and a discussion moderated by USC Annenberg professor Josh Kun.
Organized by Mark C. Marino (Writing Program) and Roberto Leni-Olivares (Anthropology). Co-sponsored by the Institute for Multimedia Literacy, the Center for Transformative Scholarship and the Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. Co-sponsored by El Centro Chicano and the Latina/o Student Assembly.
