Dance is political in ‘Play and Play’

By Apoorva Dixit | January 6, 2014

A dancer stands motionless on stage. He is the clock. First, one dancer appears and performs a gesture. And another, then a third. Others emerge, an accumulation of “people, ideas, clothes” on stage, Janet Wong said, associate artistic director at Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.

Watch ‘Wolf’ stalk Main St. prey, be careful who you bring

By Varun Bhuchar | January 5, 2014

I counted 15 people walking out mid-screening from “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013). Included in that group were some older people, a couple on a date and an enterprising gentleman who took his children to see the film in lieu of “Frozen” (2013) or “A Madea Christmas” (2013). While I applaud him for introducing his children to the works of director Martin Scorsese, “The Wolf of Wall Street” is a balls-to-the-wall exercise in extravagance and debauchery that would make Caligula blush.

A cappella hits the road over holidays

By Yasmeen Erritouni | January 5, 2014

Many students spent the month of winter break at home studying for next term or, on a more realistic note, checking out new music on Spotify. Yet many members of College a cappella groups packed December with travel and performances, taking their voices out of the wilderness, and for some, out of the country.

Book club, exhibit to explore intersection of identity

By Michaela Ledoux | January 5, 2014

A diary held in a Hello Kitty lunch box washes onto an island shore. A Japanese-American novelist stumbles across it and becomes enthralled with the life of its 16-year-old Japanese author, presumably the victim of a recent natural disaster. As their two lives collide across time and the Pacific, readers of Ruth Ozeki’s most recent novel, “A Tale for the Time Being,” will find themselves engrossed in the author’s tour de force exploration of home and displacement.

Winter to bring variety of live performances

By Jessica Zischke | November 17, 2013

It’s no secret that winter term is not the most popular time for students to be on campus. While you begin to brace yourself for negative temperatures and unbearable wind chill, it is also a great time to explore more of the arts events as a variety of groups will offer exciting performances to bring you out from the winter slump.

On Oct. 4, a year-long exhibition titled “The Nelson A. Rockefeller Vision: In Pursuit of the Best in the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas” opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to commemorate Rockefeller’s passion for non-Western art.

Dance Ensemble examines technology

By Michaela Ledoux | November 10, 2013

Under the direction of Rebecca Darling, the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble performed wonderfully fluid and moving pieces at its “DisCONNECTed” performance at the Top of the Hop on Saturday. The gripping show illustrated the problem of a generation that holds technology supreme and renders real human interaction virtually obsolete.

Film reminds audience of legacy of slavery and race

By Varun Bhucar | November 10, 2013

Last year, Quentin Tarantino tackled American slavery with the subtlety of a bull in a China shop with his revenge epic, “Django Unchained.” While the film was a critical and commercial success, there was a loud contingent that attacked Tarantino for treating slavery and its implications with such irreverence.
