...missed an opportunity to produce a piece that was not only creative, but also technically grounded. Other pieces suffered because they focused too much on drama rather than on precise dancing. While “Leavings” only had a few moments of excessive drama, “Triptych,” a solo performed by Lauren E. Chin ’08, truly suffered for its reliance on drama. The result was shaky poses and sloppy dancing. Yet other strong group pieces minimized the effect of these weaker aspects. “Slanting...
Entity is the third panel in a triptych of pieces examining the relationship between the brain and the creative processes involved in dance. In 2002, McGregor's fascination with this topic led him to set up a research project entitled Choreography and Cognition with a team of five neuroscientists; the project was backed by a fellowship at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Cambridge University. The first product of this research was AtaXia (2004), named after the disabling physical condition. Partly inspired by a real ataxia sufferer, the piece examined the frailty of the brain-body connection. By forcing breakdowns...

All points of view needed to be represented so we wouldn't be categorized as a lefty film. It's meant to provoke thought, not provide...
...After directing a triptych of art-house films that dealt with the strain between traditional Chinese families and their modern children, Lee began working with a larger palette, jumping from genre to genre without a misstep. What other filmmaker has adapted both Jane Austen and a comic book, or followed a kung-fu film with a movie about gay cowboys? In Lust, Caution, Lee is trying out yet another, marrying an old-fashioned noir spy thriller à la Hitchcock's Notorious with a serious-minded inquiry into the nature of desire...
