Entertainment

When you think of a typical dance show, you usually picture a stage, plush chairs and tiered seating. Project Bandaloop is a dance company with a completely original style of dance. They perform aerial dance vertically, turning the stage on its side. The company was founded in 1991 by Amelia Rudolph. A trained dancer and rock climber, Rudolph was inspired to create Project Bandaloop when she saw the grace with which a world renowned rock climber scaled a cliff.

Romantic Comedies. They’re predictable, repetitive and sometimes I wonder how they can make so few variations between each flick and call it a new movie. But I still give them a chance once in a blue moon. They may be redundant, but most people cannot deny that they are generally guaranteed to be cheap, easy entertainment for a couple of mindless hours. Crazy Stupid Love features a promising cast; so, with pre-formed opinions and predictions, I dove in.

Living in the Bay Area, home to some of the greatest hip-hop and rap classics of our generation, we are exposed to a smorgasbord of local artists. One such artist is G-Eazy, a self-proclaimed “rapper, producer, performer, graphic designer and video editor.” Most Berkeley High School students have probably heard the name thrown around, if not already owning a number of his tracks. He’s still an up-and-comer–his name barely getting past California’s borders–but he’s performed with big names like Curren$y and Afroman.

The Berkeley High School Chamber Music Concert was a success. Performed by the zero–period orchestra, the concert featured different groups of students playing chamber music without the help of a conductor.

It was a fun and lively show, not only because of the great musical talent, but also because of the creative — and sometimes hilarious — costumes and outfits referencing the music, whether it was just wearing the same color shirt, or dressing up head–to–toe like a nutcracker.
