Whether first-year students have been dreaming of joining the Aires since their first solo in their high school choir, curious about Ujima since the dance showcase or thinking they might just wing it at the Dog Day Players auditions, the start of classes brings with it the first opportunity for first-years to show off their talents to student performance groups at Dartmouth.

Film Review: ‘Don’t Breathe’ (2016) leaves you out of breath

|

“Don’t Breathe” (2016) is the second feature film from co-writer and director Fede Alvarez, who also co-wrote and directed a reboot of “Evil Dead” (2013). Fans who enjoyed the unique interpretation of traditional horror in the reboot will love the similar spin to the genre that Alvarez brings to “Don’t Breathe.” The film is set in modern day Detroit, painted in the dichotomy of ultra wealthy homes and neighborhoods that appear to be real-life ghost towns.

Summer term sees formation, development of student groups

|

With fewer students on campus than any other term, the summer leaves student-run dance and musical groups shorthanded. To make up for the deficit, many established groups have traditionally held auditions for summer-specific additions in order to bolster numbers and maintain an active presence on campus. \n In addition to the summer versions of already well-known dance and music groups, this term has also seen the emergence and development of newer performing acts that have used the summer as a time to experiment within the campus music and dance scene.
