Matthew Ritchie, an installation artist and painter, once said his work was meant to convey the message, "Life is as complicated as it seems."Life may be complicated, but anyone who attended Ritchie's slide lecture in 185 Nassau last Tuesday knows his work is far more so.Where are we?
Unlike most reading this, I have to admit that I didn't come to Princeton for the 7:1 student to faculty ratio.
In the early hours of Thursday, March 13, a geosciences van left Princeton carrying professor Diann Sichel and 10 students from the Princeton dance program, en route to Plymouth, New Hampshire.Despite initial technical difficulties with the van and one unreliable alarm clock, we were on our way to the New England Regional American College Dance Festival held this year at Plymouth State College.The trip, made possible by funding from the Deans of the College and Student Life and the Program in Dance, was the second time Princeton has been represented at the festival, which the department hopes to make an annual tradition.The American College Dance Festival began in 1973.
Diversity is the word for Princeton's Middle Eastern dance troupe, Raks Odalisque's, show this spring.
Is it a coincidence that so much of our critical artistic vernacular recalls not only emotion but actually motion as well?
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. On the surface, Bums and Monkeys, which runs at Theater~Intime from March 27-29 to April 3-5, may appear to be a rather conventional contemporary production with all the typical elements of angst and disillusionment.
It's about time Chris Rock gets his own movie. Since being discovered by Eddie Murphy in 1987 and winning a small role in Murphy's "Beverly Hills Cop II," Rock has been one of the freshest and most creative minds in comedy.But aside from the little-seen "Pootie Tang" and the embarrassing failure "Down to Earth," Rock has yet to have his own starring vehicle.But now comes "Head of State." Written, directed, produced by and starring Rock, I think we can safely call this effort truly his own.Rock plays Mays Gilliam, an alderman for one of the worst neighborhoods in D.C.
What's going on tonight? Who has a DJ? More importantly, who has DJ Bob?There are a few things every good Princeton student learns early on in his or her social career: 1) Enrique Inglesias is actually cool; 2) belting out the lyrics to "Living on a Prayer" is not only cool, but an inevitable and recurring moment of every Saturday night; and 3) the quickest way to find a great party at the Street is to ask the critical question, "Who has DJ Bob?"Princeton students have counted on Bob "DJ Bob" Sallade to set the tone for their most cherished Street memories for the past 11 years, a service the Haddonfield, New Jersey native is more than happy to provide."I really like it here," said Sallade, in an interview Tuesday night at Ivy Club.
Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime, but give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day.
Until last year, what this University seriously needed was a successful fashion show ? that is, according to the newly recognized student group, Service in Style, a club devoted to charity fundraising through an annual fashion show.When Cyrena Chih '05 arrived on campus last year, she couldn't believe that Princeton didn't hold a charity fashion show, as did her high school and as do many other universities.
Rob Morris '03, Justin Garretson '03, Caleb Bonilla '03 and Brad Flora '04 of the Holy Smokes are not only respectable, studious Princeton men by day but righteous rockers by night.
Be humble. Be simple. Paint the obvious. This is the mantra that Brian Jermusyk, a lecturer in the Council of the Humanities and Visual Arts, picked up while pursuing his Masters degree at Brooklyn College.But don't be fooled into thinking this means his work remains within the confines of genteel, uncontroversial subject matter.
From watching behind the scenes footage on VH1 and interviews on MTV to reading Rolling Stone and other popular music magazines, our generation has been the audience for The Beatles' rise as a pop culture legend, Jimi Hendrix's revolution of the electronic guitar solo and Bob Dylan's ascent to an American folk-music icon.We have also witnessed unfortunate declines such as deaths of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, Sublime's Brad Nowell and The Beatles' John Lennon.Having opened on the Street for American Hi Fi, SR-71, Maroon 5 and Ben Mizer, drummer for The Counting Crows, the four members of the student band Fabled not only confirm the talents of Princeton's young student musicians but also present a fresh version of the average struggling-musician story.As Princeton students, there is no doubt that each of Fabled's members ? Aaron Ellerbee '04, Dan Siegfried '05, Tim Skerpon '03 and Matt Nickoloff '03 ? is academically talented as well as musically inclined.The name Fabled was chosen by randomly searching through children's books and circling appealing words or phrases.
They go with everything from T-shirts to tunics and slippers to stilettos. They are ubiquitous, come in countless shapes and shades and are the panacea for every sartorial crisis.
When you hear the words Ballet Folklorico, your mind might very well be assaulted by visions of sugarplum-ballerinas in sombreros.
Even if some of our choreography is cheesy, Naacho, Princeton University's Indian Dance Troupe, is not to be confused for a Latin dance troupe or a Mexican appetizer spelled incorrectly.The name actually means "Let's Dance" in Hindi, and as our name suggests we do.
After hours of rehearsal to prepare for selected pieces, not to mention years of experience dating back to the age of four or five, 22 talented and self-disciplined musicians gathered in Richardson Auditorium on Feb.
You may have caught sight of their fliers calling all aspiring nudists to their auditions earlier this month and wondered more about what exactly Brittany Blockman '03, Teniqua Crawford '04 and Josephine Decker '03 had in mind.
The Man Show 2003. Three all-male Princeton singing groups serenading a full house. An a cappella fan's dream.On Friday, Feb.
