...their winter show, “The NutQRACker.” Directors Kate O. Ahlborn ’07 and Ebonie D. Hazle ’06 neatly and rather evenly divided the program into two parts according to styles, although the distribution of the dancers’ skill levels and dance lengths in the two sections was lopsided. The lengthier first half was comprised of four modern pieces, while the second classical half—that was arguably more enjoyable—contained small group variations from “The Nutcracker.”The recital began with...

He says he is unsure why such courses have ceased to be part of the curriculum...
...tone that is the opposite of earnest, almost all the rest of the time Annie M. Lowrey ’06-’07 tells the truth: wonderfully, brutally, with vague hints of a British accent, and frequent droppings of obscure vocabulary words. This is not an easy skill, especially not if you are a nice person, which is the remarkable thing about Annie. In addition to being 100 percent genuine, she is also 100 percent nice. When you don’t know the meaning of most of the words she has just uttered, and you tell...
