SoFA photographers create room-size camera

·

In a room absent of light except for what comes through a small pin-prick, a panoramic view of the outside landscape can be seen. But, it’s not as mind-boggling as it might seem.

Le denier cri

·

There are some clothing items out there that should never be put together in an outfit. Jeans and a denim jacket, tights and open-toed shoes and spots with stripes are all examples of items that should never be worn at the same time.

A measured success

Hearing the name William Shakespeare might be enough to scare off anyone from seeing a play after taking literature courses. Fear not. The IU Department of Theatre and Drama’s production of “Measure for Measure” jumps far from the classroom and into a very entertaining night of theater.

Letters from Abroad

·

BOLOGNA, Italy –You never realize how American you are until you leave the country. The National Anthem has never stirred deep feelings of patriotism and pride in me. I could live without baseball games and Mom’s hot apple pie. I waited all of my life to get out of the U.S. I wanted to see exotic places, eat new foods and experience the art and history of faraway lands, because I felt that home was lacking a bit in the culture department.

3 MCs, but no DJ

·

To create hip-hop music live on stage without a DJ or a looped sample might be unorthodox, but Davey Chegwidden, band leader for the Rhythm Roots Allstars, does it every night of the “Hip-Hop Live!” tour. The 10-piece band, which will stop at 9 p.m. today at The Bluebird as part of the tour, provides a unique experience for concertgoers.

Potpourri of Arts’ a cultural collaboration of music, dance

·

The word “potpourri” usually implies a diverse mixture of various objects, which have an underlying theme in common. “Potpourri” is typically thought of as a collaboration of flower petals, pine cones and other scented aspects of nature, but Saturday night saw a “potpourri” that transcended the sense of smell.
