By Hilary Becker | February 6, 2007

Courtesy of the Hopkins Center In the wake of Hurricane Katrina it's been easy to forget that there were storms before that one, but Anne Galjour's one-woman play "Hurricane," which premiered in 1993, reminds us that the 2006 natural disaster wasn't a singular phenomenon.

With 'Thin Ice,' Hood celebrates beauty in Inuit culture

By Joe Indvik | February 5, 2007

by joe indvik "One must respect and sometimes fear ice. It is the giver of life for us."

The speech commemorated "Thin Ice: Inuit Traditions in a Changing Environment," an exhibit that opened at the Hood Museum of Art last week.

'Flower' impresses with visual flair

By Alison Ruderman | January 22, 2007

Courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes In the realm of martial arts epics, Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower" sits squarely between the lovely "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the lowbrow "Kung Fu Hustle." It's no revolution in its genre, but its visual beauty is something to drool over: The action is drenched in rich gold, extreme close-ups register faces taut with unease and fury and color-coordinated armies clash in battles that might as well be "Lord of the Rings" in a Skittles commercial. This being Oscar season, it's no wonder that bombast and posturing are all over the silver screen nowadays.

By Liz Ellison | January 22, 2007

Martin Luther King Jr. Day may have passed a week ago, but Dartmouth's celebration of King's life continued this weekend with a Festival of Student Arts that showcased visual arts, performance and spoken word from an array of student groups at Dartmouth. This year's theme, "Lift Every Voice: Freedom's Artists and the Ongoing Struggle for Civil Rights," found various cultural groups on campus interacting and performing together. The weekend's events gave festival-goers an interesting and varied look at "the ways that students' artistic production and vision serve as commentary on or intervention into social and political issues and realities," said Giavanna Munafo, associate director for training and educational programs in the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity.
