Basketballism 321 SpTp: Boys fantasize & girls go wrong
Bradley: Welcome back from Thanksgiving. SGA films are just as you left them, with just two movies, both starring mainly women. I’ll continue my white-male-hetero persona of the past couple weeks and recommend that you watch the men’s basketball game tomorrow afternoon rather than these movies. Heck, I’ll be gender neutral and recommend the girl’s game, too. [more]

Professor Shawn Womack titled this year’s fall Dance Troupe performance , to be held Sat. Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. at Flanigan Studio Theatre, Boundary Waters.

While the concept for Tallen’s dance evolved during the rehearsal process into something entirely new, the idea of boundaries stuck with Womack. [more]

In conjunction with the Roots of Renewal exhibit, the duo will play at Faulconer Gallery on Saturday Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. [more]

The One-Acts: a theatrical feast
Two students blast off to the moon in a shuttle, where a piece of paper explodes in the Jason Carpp ‘06’s face! To save Carpp, Laurie Glapa ’07 takes off her own oxygen mask to share with him and thus, saves his life. All the while both of them have stools strapped onto their heads. This is just one warm-up exercise during a rehearsal for The Man Who Couldn’t Dance. [more]
