Dance Exchange

The last thing I thought about this morning when I turned on my computer was how far the energy that powered it had come from. Same thing when I got dressed; I was more concerned if my clothes matched than what distance they had traveled, or what had powered the factory they were made in. But that is the difference between me and Cassie Meador. She thinks about these things.

The Grass Is Not Always Greener
By Sydney Held
In Edward Albee's Everything in the Garden, "green" has a double meaning. Jenny and her husband Richard's garden is flourishing with green but their income is diminishing. The protagonist Jenny decides to disobey Richard and take a job, selling her body for money, in order to keep up with their wealthy inner circle of friends where money seems to be valued above all else. The performance was a reminder to me that the grass will always seem greener on the other side.

The Fortune’s Bones project and Ms. Barnwell’s work looks impressive. As a member of CORE (vice chair) in Baltimore in the 60s and later a peace protester imprisoned for an anti-war protest, I can identify — I hate it when these things get co-opted — as we used to say — by any power structure, which hopefully it won’t be.

Breadth Becomes Depth
By Robert Lee Wolfe III
Diversity is one of this generation's most controversial buzzwords: many say that it represents a means to a broader understanding of the world, while others assert that a focus on diversity can lead to an emphasis on breadth that discourages students from plumbing the depths of their respective fields.
A Perfect Blend
By Robert Lee Wolfe III
When most people think of chamber music, they think of talented musicians playing complex classical pieces that haven't changed in hundreds of years. Such an arrangement is not the sort that typically encourages innovation within the field of music. One may thus find oneself appropriately skeptical of a chamber music performance that generates hype. By the same argument, one finds oneself appropriately refreshed when the hype is entirely warranted.
