Sweet Honey in the Rock addresses political issues in song

By Zeke Turner | January 26, 2009

Zeke Turner / The Dartmouth Senior Staff In the middle of Friday night's concert in Spaulding Auditorium, Carol Maillard, a founding member of Sweet Honey in the Rock, stopped to tell the audience about the a cappella group's CDs and tote bags, which would be on sale during intermission. "I've just been given an assignment, which I will execute faithfully," she said, taking a lighthearted jab at Chief Justice John Roberts' fouled-up administration of the oath of office to President Barack Obama during Tuesday's inauguration.

AS SEEN ON: In "Lie to Me," talk is cheap

By Brittany Coombs | January 21, 2009

The human face is perhaps the most complex arrangement of muscle found in nature. Just ask Dr. Cal Lightman, the "face-reading" protagonist of the new drama series "Lie to Me," which premieres tonight on FOX at 9 p.m. In "Lie to Me," Lightman (Tim Roth) and his expert colleagues must help government agencies sort fact from fiction. Unlike typical crime-busters, however, Lightman has more than just fingerprints and paper trails at his disposal.

HEAR AND NOW: Mariah Carey releases best of the best

By Rebecca Wall | January 20, 2009

Today, Jan. 20, 2009, will forever be remembered as a momentous date in history. People across the world have hoped and dreamed, and their passionate longing has come to fruition. I'm referring, of course, to the North American release of "The Ballads," an 18-track compilation of Mariah Carey's most-loved songs. "The Ballads" offers a laundry list of Carey's classics, from "Always Be My Baby" to "Hero." Several tracks feature appearances from music giants including Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston and Usher, which should enhance the album's appeal.

BOOKED SOLID: Film industry gives push to book sales

By Lucy Randall | January 15, 2009

Correction appended As I struggled to keep up with my reading -- a book per week for each of my classes -- I was stunned when I found out that just over one-half of adults surveyed in a recent report by the National Endowment for the Arts have read at least one play, poem or piece of fiction in the past 12 months.

Courtesy of Spheris Gallery Spheris Gallery's new exhibit "In the Absence" is an inspired exploration of the interaction between positive and negative space, despite how little it shows of the featured artists' creative scopes. The show features the work of six photographers, including Azariah Aker, Anita Douthat, Beth Ganz, Cui Fei, Luc Demer and John Willis. Materials from nature appear in several of the artists' works.

Puppeteer Sanko brings sinister marionettes to the Hop

January 12, 2009

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff While many marionette shows call to mind the innocent, Bavarian "The Lonely Goatherd" scene from "The Sound of Music," "The Fortune Teller" -- a puppet show which played at the Hopkins Center on Friday and Saturday -- expelled this notion from the minds of its audience with its sinister overtones. According to the show's director, Erik Sanko, the view that marionettes can only be used to tell upbeat stories kept him a closet puppetmaker for many years. "It wasn't very punk rock to tell your friends that you made dolls," he explained. Sanko, along with his theater company, The Phantom Limb, used the rare medium of puppetry to preach against the seven deadly sins while astounding audiences with an exhaustively detailed set in "The Fortune Teller." A demonstration Saturday afternoon gave audience members a chance to peek behind the scenes at the technically impressive production.
