This week, justArts&Culture spoke with Anna Cass ’21, a member of the TBA Improv and Sketch Comedy, about the “Judges vs. Owls: TBA and Bad Grammar’s 4th Annual Joint Show” on Nov. 13.
While I was walking around the JustArts Faculty and Staff exhibition during its Oct. 24 opening reception day, I saw a table in the middle of the gallery with dozens of figures made out of metal wire. Some of them were animals like birds, dogs and giraffes, while some of them were human faces. While I was observing the pieces, a man standing next to the table told me to poke one of them. I followed his instructions. Guess what? The wire puppy started nodding at me!
Theater is my life. Seeing a play gives me the chance to step into someone else’s story as I sit in the audience and watch the events unfold. However, the play I saw this weekend, “Every Brilliant Thing,” was a little different. Rather than just sitting and watching the play, I became a part of it.
Most Hebrew speakers around the world are familiar with the work of Chaim Nachman Bialik, whether they realize it or not. Lauded as the father of modern Hebrew poetry, he has also been named the national poet of Israel, though he died before the founding of the modern State of Israel. His works span genres and languages: over the course of his life he wrote epic poems, love songs, religious verse and children’s nursery rhymes in Hebrew and Yiddish. I first became familiar with Bialik when I learned that many Israeli songs I loved were actually his poems set to music. So when I saw that there was going to be a lecture on campus about his works, I knew I had to go.
On Nov. 16, the Southeast Asia Club hosted its event “Nightlife in Bangkok” in the Intercultural Center. The event was created and organized by the club’s first year representatives, Amy Schoder ’23 and Long Nguyen ’23, who were inspired to show off the vibrant nightlife of the city of Bangkok,Thailand, with games and authentic dishes from the country. The ICC lounge was decorated with multi-colored flashing lights to emphasize the “nightlife” theme, which was executed beautifully. The glow of the room, from both the lights and the people, created a fun and warm atmosphere.
Dancers of the Adagio Dance Company created a beautiful, fantastic dreamworld for audience last Thursday. This was the first time I attended a Brandeis dance show, but this show impressed me more than I would have ever imagined. More than 30 dancers and 100 audience members gathered in the Levin Ballroom room to enjoy a tremendous night of fantastic performances.
The most memorable dance moment would be this one. As the song “Oh No!!!” played to its climax, one of the Adagio dancers jumped into the sky on the stage. Though she was wearing simple yoga clothes, the concentrating way that she was gazing at the audience made her outstanding.
IN BETWEEN THE AUDIENCES: An important feature of the show is how it interacted with the audience, who were guided to participate in the play.
NATURAL SUPERNATURALISM: Michael Fishbane gave the Simon Rawidowicz lecture this year, allowing the community to learn about the poetry of Chaim Nachman Bialik.
THREE IN ONE: The show features three actresses, who each portray different personalities of the same person.
HOT ONES: In order to enjoy the delicious food, one has to participate in the games and win glow sticks.
The most elegant dance was “Marzipan,” by the Ballet Club. The performers tied their hair up delicately, but showed strength when dancing in a smooth, graceful and confident manner. Every time their bodies moved with the music, they shined under the lights like goddesses in a fairytale.
The most powerful moment would be this one. Everyone held their breath when they saw those dancers lifting the girl up during “First Burn.” At the same moment, as the background music stopped, the dancers carried the girl on top of their heads. The long-lasting applause at the end of this dance was well-deserved.
