99th Revels


It's hard to explain Revels to anyone who hasn't experienced it before, but basically it's the most important tradition at my school where the senior class put up the show in a week with all parts kept secret, and on the very night of it, continuous cheering of the underclasswomen deafens you for days. I loved my eccentric role of the Alchemist (a surprise to everyone, I believe)- the feeling of being crazy and letting everything go on stage, plus harassing the audience. Though quite different from the normal theatre productions I've done, Revels is one of the best things I've experienced at my school, and it put me right into the Christmas Spirit. 

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Artist Inspiration x Kyle Thompson

At the first glance, I would have categorized Kyle Thompson's artwork as surrealism, but he instead described it as "organic surrealism, since it is much more real and existent than surrealism is". In most of his work, Kyle creates art with people (a lot of times, himself) by placing them in a way that interacts or even corresponds to the given surroundings. He captures the essence and concepts of human activity in abandoned houses and nature, which is what makes his art stand out.
