Mont. Fellow Schechner teaches drama class

By Hank Leukart | July 2, 1999

While visiting the College as a Montgomery Fellow, Richard Schechner is currently teaching a class in the drama department titled, "Performances of Great Magnitude." The class discusses such epic theatrical events as the Olympics, ancient town rituals, and other similar events that cannot take place in a traditional theater space. A drama expert with a host of directing and acting experience, Schechner is a professor of performance studies at New York University.

Summer film series shows classics

By Suzanne Wrubel | June 23, 1999

Every term, the Dartmouth Film Society picks a theme for the Film Series which unifies the approximately 30 films shown. Usually there are a few films that would fit the series perfectly, but do not make the cut. The major reason is the "Four Year Rule" which prevents any film from being shown more than once in four years, thereby ensuring that students can see as many different films as possible during their time at Dartmouth. This series, entitled "I Coulda Been a Contender!" from the classic Marlon Brando line in "On the Waterfront" (shown in this series), is a collection of the films that would have fit perfectly into past series, but for whatever reason, were not available. The premise of the series is a little shaky, and essentially seems like an excuse for DFS to put in whatever unrelated films it feels like.

Author Dorothy Allison introduced the photo exhibit "Loves Makes a Family" at Collis Commonground yesterday in a dark, humid room on a warm, sea-sky day.
