...dances were not exclusively set to music, however. In “A Tale Triste” by Maryvone Neptune ’01, the performers moved to a woman’s voice above a synthesizer and base. The angular, stuttering movements reflected the woman’s intonations but were united by the sound of the base. Other pieces utilized a mixture of sound and silence, as with “Shohmyoh.” This piece, choreographed by Ryuji Yamaguchi ’03, centered on the reverberations of drums and chanting. This dual presence of sound...
...Dublin and Edinburgh and eventually to London's West End. (During one break, they co-starred as the tramps in Waiting for Godot. What's Irish for "busman's holiday"?) Hill, 36, the pudgy, cherub-faced one, grew up in Ballycastle, on the northeast coast. Campion, 41, the angular, rugged-looking fellow, hails from County Kilkenny in the southeast.

It belongs to a slight blond, his 27-year-old daughter Karenna Gore Schiff. It would be wrong to look for her only in the family box, gamely playing host to family and friends while wearing a perma-smile. Karenna's fingerprints will be across the program, from the choice of speakers to the entertainment to the look of the stage. On Wednesday she will give...
...BILL CLINTON: The writing is rounded, showing his congenial nature. There is also self-protectiveness seen in his left slant. Especially interesting are the lower loops, which in earlier writing samples were angular. Angular lower loops suggest some hidden aggression toward women...
