Last night I had the pleasure of visiting the Ceramics Program to meet with a few general public participants who are excited about getting involved with “Place at the Table.” Laurie Miles (an independent multi-media artist) presented a really wonderful concept for a set of tables whose design is based on guidelines for sustainable cooking.

Posted in Uncategorized on February 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Remember those brainteaser/puzzle exercises you used to have to do in math class? Something along the lines of “Susie likes strawberry and vanilla ice cream and can skateboard. Tom can’t do anything involving wheels and is allergic to pistachios…Figure out everyone’s favorite ice cream and afterschool activity.”
Planning the Performance Fair is kind of like that, [...]

Posted in Theater, Uncategorized on February 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ll be honest here: I hate theater. Hate isn’t even a strong enough word. Bile. Disgust. Anger. Rage. Friday the 13th Jason hockey mask mad. And I have a degree in theatre. Two degrees in theatre!

When Kristy Lynn Carpenter ‘10, tells me she grew up in a small town, she’s talking about nine-kids-in-her-8th-grade-class kind of small. Of her hometown of Bronson, Michigan, Carpenter says, “It’s the kind of town where everyone knows everyone else…and their business. While gossip gets around quick, so does help and support when needed. [...]

There is a language that informs the various economies that construct the contemporary social landscapes in which we live.
