Knowing the about William Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest and having read it as well, I was interested to see how they would present the play as an Opera. While watching The Tempest, I was really impressed with the set design and concept […]

A few weeks ago I was able to attend a cultural show filled with music and dancing. I got to experience Indian dancing at its finest. Since I believe art to be a form of expression, I believe that dancing can be considered a form of art. Also dancing can fall under the concept of […]

Hmmm, it’s interesting how basketball and ballet are so intertwined, and yet they have such radically different stereotypes attached to them…
