Lionel Popkin
Lionel Popkin is a maker of time-based and body-based kinetic scenarios which manifest in performance and video art (aka choreography). His latest project, Reorient the Orient (2024), is an eight-hour durational installation examining his own archive of 30 years of artmaking within the history of representations of South Asian performers on western stages. His work has been presented across the United States (where he is based) and internationally. He performed as a dancer in the companies of Trisha Brown, Terry Creach and Stephanie Skura. He has been commissioned by San Diego’s Lower Left Performance Collective, the Li Chiao-Ping Dance Company, Nejla Yatkin and Carolyn Hall. He is a professor of choreography at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the interim dean of the School of the Arts and Architecture at UCLA, a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique and a resident artist at the 18th Street Arts Center.
