Tanhehco’s piece Toys has generated considerable buzz in the Harvard community. Inspired by her own observations of men disrespecting women, Tanhehco co-collaborated on a script with Abby Fee, Joe Small and Pippi Kessler. The dance is largely improvised; Tanhehco strove to give her dancers creative freedom, offering tips on motivation, focus and blocking. “I thought it might be interesting to deal with the issues of female exploitation by placing men in their shoes.

...entry that has garnered the most buzz is NBC's Boomtown (Sundays, 10 p.m. E.T.), which tells each story from the perspective of several characters. But don't believe the early hype that compares it to Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon: that's like saying because 24 takes place in one day, it's TV's Ulysses. Kurosawa questioned the nature of truth, telling a story through unreliable narrators. Boomtown's relatively straightforward narrative mainly means you get to see car crashes from two different angles. (CSI's flashbacks, which change as the investigators get closer to the truth...
