Such conflict between the artistic ideal and imperfect reality is the central conflict of the play; the “Lulu” script strives to convey the wretchedness of human lives lived in constant comparison and aspiration to unattainable artistic perfection. In one of the most successful campus dramas in recent memory, “Lulu” deftly achieves this goal, shifting what could have been a flippant, conventional story of one girl’s corruption and social downfall to a poignant and serious examination of the shortcomings of the human condition...
...Such a cutesy representation of internal thought should never again be enacted on film—ever. Bloom and Dunst perform well together, but inconsistently. Bloom’s brown puppy-dog eyes are capable of more than just weakening the knees of 13-year-old girls; here, they convey a lot of subtle emotion. He can do many variants of caged and restrained, but nothing for exuberance. Dunst can be endearing, but often becomes annoying (and needs to figure out her character’s accent). There are some moments of real tenderness between the two; but the true...
...have made it here.5. Teach to learn and re-learn: In order to design a coherent and engaging curriculum, a teacher must literally take up the role of historian, physicist, etc. Teachers have to reconstruct and expand their own understanding of what they already know in order to convey it to their students.

But nothing could be further from the truth...
...imperfect chemistry between Baldwin’s Carmen and Greenwald’s Don José.Stylistically, Serrand’s “Carmen” shirked traditional grandeur in favor of minimalism. One set piece—a grey building wall—was used to convey the city of Seville as well as the Spanish countryside. Scenery changes were marked by new costumes and shifts in the lighting scheme. Additionally, Greenwald adapted Bizet’s rich orchestral score for a mere two pianos. Remarkably, his transposition thinned the texture of Bizet’s score without...
...expression on the child's face and the steady posture of the animal suggest that the non-violent interpretation is the correct one. In fact, the piece may allude to an ancient Chinese legend about a tigress adopting a human baby. The early bronze workers certainly knew how to convey animal brutality when they wanted to, as illustrated in two small ornaments nearby that depict fierce tigers attacking defenseless deer. The museum also features an exceptional collection of tomb figures, or mingqi, especially from the Han dynasty (206 B.C. to 220 A.D.). The Han believed that humans have both...
