Ladies and Gentlemen, I have struggled with what to post here, searching for topics which are funny, profound, and culturally relevant. But now the wait is over! The topic which fulfills all the above and more is…grocery shopping. Never having been my forte at home (though I can buy a mean microwavable meal, let me …

Jet Lag as an Act of Insurgent Art
For the first time since starting to provide words for Colorado College’s blog, I am going to relate the content of the post to the title: on Tuesday our class will be presenting our final performances for the block… jet lagged. We have safely arrived back in the United States of America as of about …
Acting and its Effects on the Body, Mind
Zdravo! Belgrade is a picturesque city. Our hotel sits on a large traffic circle through which trolleys and busses and cars come careening with little regard for one another. A few blocks down the main shootoff of the roundabout you’ll come to a large plaza with a statue of a man riding a horse. A …
Dobro Jutro… or vece or whatever.
Good Morning! I say that because I’m conditioned to say that when I wake up from a couple hours of slumber. For example, now. The problem remains, though, that it is 8:00Pm. I probably shouldn’t have taken a three hour nap, in terms of killing jet lag, but the weight of my eyelids at 4:30 …
The Insurgency of Art
John’s last post outlined most of what we did during First Week, but let me update you on Friday’s class, because it was awesome!

This week is the first of four in which a group of 14 Colorado College students will be focusing their academic energy on the connections between acts of insurgency, civil disobedience, protest, regime opposition and performance. The focus is largely in the Balkans. What roles did performance play …

Street From a distance, a lady named Shaman see us coming and cries out, “It’s the Christians!” That’s not completely true as I am Jewish, but Homeless Outreach–the group with which I am volunteering–is a a Christian faith based group. We approach Shaman and the others, sitting on benches and on the ground around a …
The Many (Many) Works of Oscar Niemeyer
Roberto picked me up from my hotel in his Ford Fusion to start our tour. Yes, even though 90% of Brasilia’s famous sights are on the main street of the city, a car tour was the only way to go about seeing them all in one day. Like I’ve said before, not walker friendly. Roberto …
The Weekend
I have a fifteen-page play due on Monday. I’m really not sure why I’m writing this blog entry right now, honestly–every waking moment should be spent on this play. I have a semi-story in my head, and about a page on paper. Right now my main concern is making it work without a lot of …
