Student Artisans craft fine jewelry in design studio

By Colin Grey | March 31, 1994

When Erling Heistad talks about Dartmouth's Claflin Jewelry Studio at the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts, his blue eyes glow brightly and the corners of his mouth curl into a contented smile. Heistad has run the Jewelry Studio, tucked away in the basement of the Hop, since he first set it up in 1966, and he speaks lovingly of the workshop which he has nurtured from its inception. "I want to have a process that allows you to challenge yourself and do it in a non-threatening environment," Heistad said. The Jewelry Studio offers a golden opportunity for students to expand their learning beyond the courses offered in the Organizations, Regulations and Courses book. It is one of three student workshops.

Improved Oscar ceremony honors fine films of 1993

By Susan Zieger | March 28, 1994

Just as Oskar Schindler comes to see the truth of the Holocaust in "Schindler's List," the Oscars themselves reflect an awareness of how films influence public perception of historical truth. "Schindler's List," though it depicts events that happened decades ago, is particularly relevant now, when Holocaust deniers propagate their view around the nation and when a recent national survey found that nearly one-fifth of Americans doubt that the Holocaust happened at all. The phenomenon of "Schindler's List" is intriguing.

By Rick Owen | March 7, 1994

If you have never seen tap dancing up close than you are really missing some of the most exciting and intense dancing ever performed. Luckily, tomorrow night "Fascinating Rythmns" will be performed in The Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts, featuring several world renowned tap dancers in what should be an inspirational show. One of the dancers, Savion Glover, 19, took to the Broadway stage in the title role of "The Tap Dance Kid," at age 12 and co-starred with Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr.

Student tenor sings

By Joe Marcheso | March 7, 1994

Judd Serotta '94 , tenor, gave a strong senior vocal recital with Bill Guerin '96 yesterday in Faulkner Auditorium. The program ranged from Handel and Beethoven to English folk songs, arranged by the country's pre-emminent 20th century composers. In "Ammarili, mia bella", Serotta and Guerin revised the heavily romanticised rendition available to them with something more appropriate for the 20th century. Serotta sang the pieces with immaculate diction although he could have rolled his 'R's more effectively, especially when singing Italian. While his interpretation at times contradicted the style, Serotta was very relaxed and exhibited a high degree of musicality. Serotta's nerves caused him to begin a bit tentatively in the Handel and consequently he did not fully capture the interpretive flavor of the piece.

Production staff perform behind-the-scenes magic

By Jack Vaitayanonta | March 2, 1994

In a term packed with unprecedented and powerful dramatic productions, some of the people most responsible for the successes of the plays are not the ones whom the audience sees acting and performing on stage.

'Coyote Ugly' has stunning debut

By Joe Marcheso | February 21, 1994

With all the action going on in The Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts, it would have been easy to overlook the student-directed play that held three performances in the Collis Common Ground Friday through Sunday. But "Coyote Ugly," written by Lynn Siefert and directed by Pavol Liska '95, rewarded the inquisitive and out-going audience with an extremely powerful production. The story involves an Arizonan family, whose incestuous tendencies interfere with almost all of their relationships.

Group forms to support homosexuals

By Timothy Fitzgibbons | February 17, 1994

A Hanover woman and a Dartmouth student started a support group for relatives and friends of homosexuals in the Upper Valley last week. Kirsten Doolittle '96 and Shirley Waring, a Hanover resident, are leading the Hanover chapter of Parents, Friends, and Family of Lesbians and Gays, an organization that is commonly called P-FLAG. The Washington, D.C.-based organization works to educate the public about gay and lesbian issues and to advocate the rights of homosexuals, Waring said. The group also helps homosexuals, their friends and relatives, children of homosexual parents and people who are married or have been married to gays or lesbians, she said. Both women said they were motivated by personal experiences to start a Hanover affiliate of the organization. A "personal relationship with someone very dear to me brought me to P-FLAG," Doolittle said. Doolittle said the issues P-FLAG addresses affect everyone.
