The Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater (SPDT) performed at Carleton on Friday, Jan. 6, kicking off the winter term programming in the Weitz Center for Creativity. Dan McAlister '13 interviewed Stuart Pimsler, who also talked about the collaborative class he taught at Carleton during the winter term, which brought politics and dance together in a unique but interesting cross-disciplinary way, and showed footage of the company's performance in the Weitz Center Theater. The performance was supported by funding from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Legacy Amendment.

Carleton College will host a public screening of the award-winning documentary film “Signing On: Stories of Deaf Breast Cancer Survivors, Their Families and the Deaf Community” on Sunday, February 12 at 2 p.m. in the Weitz Center for Creativity Cinema.  The film will be introduced by director Barbara Allen, Carleton College professor of political science and director of women’s and gender studies, and followed by a question and answer session with Allen along with cast and crew from the film. Refreshments will also be served. This event is free and open to the public.

The Jan. 24 edition of the Northfield News covered a neat collaboration between William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Psychology Neil Lutsky's class and Northfield Middle School students around the new Perlman Teaching Museum's exhibit, "Running the Numbers" by photographer Chris Jordan. “What they did was, they sat with their Carleton student and brainstormed about big numbers that had some relevance to their lives,” said John Bade, NMS art teacher. Bade had about 65 students participate in the art project, divided into 17 groups with one Carleton student assigned to each group. Lutsky’s students were responsible for trying to find a way to represent the large statistics they had found. “They liked having that college student in the classroom,” Bade said. “And the kids Neil (Lutsky) brought over were very engaging.”

This past Friday, Carleton presented the Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater performance as 2012's first event in the Weitz Center for Creativity. Student photographer Niko Duffy '13 was there to capture some images in the Weitz Center Theater of the contemporary performance.
