Pintour
“Snooping around, are ya? Come back this way towards the dark and creepy staircase on your left. This ought to set a good tone for my encounter.” When such lines are overheard from one of the voice-over rooms in the Arts, Culture & Technology building, one may assume that several students are developing a self [...]
Remember When? Games and Toys

A Representative of Religion

Eifman Ballet’s ‘Rodin’
Ballet is normally a very disciplined, structured, classical style of dance. The traditional inflated tutus and dainty runs on special shoes that give the illusion that the dancers are elevated on their toes, come to my mind; however the Eifman Ballet Company of St. Petersburg has completely shattered this image.
