Lake Nieheiser photos by Ken Collins

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, July 20, 2017

Ken Collins took these photos at Lake Nieheiser (Fraternity Circle) on campus. About the first photo, he writes, "Keeping the geese in a row.  All followed the leader into the lake, out again, then back in again.  Fun to watch."

The second two photos remind one of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Peaceful scene of lily pads and a dragonfly. Ken says, "They remind me of a watercolor painting."

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, July 15, 2017

Catapult is, technically, a shadow dance company. What it really is: a theatrical art form that is an amazingly imaginative combination of dance, story-telling, and sculpture. 

 Founded in 2009, by Adam Battlestein (choreographer, Creative Director and Master Teaching Artist for Pilobolus Dance Theatre for 19 years), Catapult catapulted to fame on Season 8 of America’s Got Talent, earning their way to the finals of the NBC-TV hit show.

Catapult is all about the human body and its ability to transform.
