While traveling through the beautiful areas of Manhattan to the common event, "Meet the Artist," at Macaulay Honors College, I didn't think the art would be about a tragedy that had happened in New Orleans. It shocked me in the beginning because I couldn't think of any art in such a tragic place. However, the photographer/artist, Thomas Neff, proved me wrong. He enjoyed speaking with the people in New Orleans, while helping them out of the their overflowed homes. He took pictures of reality that had happened there.

         I have seen the famous Christopher Wheeldon. Not long ago, I remember having read about a choreographer who collaborated with Narcisso Rodriguez on a piece for the New York City Ballet. Now I have heard him speak! Tonight, I ventured to City Center to participate in the Symposium on the Ballet Russes. Although I did not actually ask any questions, I listened to a panel of four renowned choreographers and musicologists. The experience was unique to say the least.
