Diversity Day at 'The Office'

By Alyson Brodsy and Zack Teibloom · Sunday, Oct. 8,2006 11:57 p.m.

Saturday night, Lindsey and I bet on what time Tamir of Balkan Beat Box would remove his shirt. We argued whether his wearing a sweater would make him de-robe sooner or later. I guessed that he would be shirtless by 11 at the 10:30 p.m. show. By 10:59 we had a shirtless Tamir rapping and ending the show an hour later by climbing on the speaker and proclaiming, "I'm on the speaker because I have something to say."

By Christy Lemire · Thursday, Oct. 5,2006 12:05 a.m.

An assortment of water bottles sat at the feet of rehearsal chairs on the Auer Hall stage Monday afternoon. Filling those seats, a group of casually dressed coeds awaited instruction from director Jan Harrington. He appeared, conducting wand in hand, and a few short waves later, this seemingly average group of young people had transformed into a sophisticated, classically trained ensemble known as the University Singers.

Runway in France: subversive shows

By Joelle Diderich · Thursday, Oct. 5,2006 12:02 a.m.

PARIS -- Tuesday, Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood challenged the adage that you can never be too rich or too thin with ready-to-wear collections that were full of wit and subversion. Some would call it biting the hand that feeds you, but provocation is second nature for the veteran designers, who both started out in the 1970s era of punk.
