...Night Journey” was a powerful example of Martha Graham’s choreography, with brisk, sharp motion propelled from the very core and breath of the dancers. Regretfully, the two-minute excerpt was too brief to be fulfilling as it seemed to preclude the full arc of the choreography.In the heavily promoted tribute to Bob Fosse entitled “Inspiration: Fosse,” the most inspiring aspects of the piece had nothing to do with the choreography, staging or performance. It was the lighting (decorative and moving spotlights through a smoky haze) that perfectly embodied...
...improving productivity. So, if the truly "normal state of affairs" prevails in France, some watered-down version of Villepin's employment measures may well creep through at some point in the future.

The Big Green, on the other hand, is tied with Penn for third place and can put pressure on second-place Cornell with a win against the Crimson. Harvard leads...
...Juan de Dios Hospital” a great photograph—the sun comes from three large windows, bounces off the plaster walls, and illuminates each immaculate hospital bed with gradually increasing intensity towards the back of the room. As the hospital beds recede, the hospital employees arc out from the rear of the room towards us, and their dress changes from the dark suits in the rear to white robes in the front...
