If you fondly remember those “24 Hour Challenge” Youtube videos of people going to department stores and burrowing hideouts behind stacks of toilet paper and you wished you could penetrate into their minds with psychological depth through an investigative film, you have finally been bequeathed your golden text. It’s the film that was on the tip of our tongues, but we didn’t know to ask for; it’s doing what Taxi Driver did but for the modern age manchildren.

One of the oldest drama programs that this country has to offer, the Performing and Media Arts Department at Cornell offers a breadth of experience in the scholarly exploration of the stage and screen, with studies that roam across theater, film and dance. However, when compared to the experience-based programming that the department provides for film and dance, the theater study at Cornell is heavily based in dramatic theory, with more of an emphasis on the scholars’ outlook on theater rather than the artists. Aside from design laboratories and two course progressions on acting and directing, most theater classes are dramaturgical, researching theater history and artistic context. While dance reviews and film festivals happen every year, department productions meant to provide experience for theatre artists are less frequent. When they do commence, auditions are often closed to lower level students. If you are a theater student at Cornell, you may only have an opportunity to participate in an academic production once in your college career, or perhaps not at all. To gain a knowledge of how to work in a developing production environment, students turn to student-run organizations such as Melodramatics Theater Company and Cog Dog Theater Troupe, relatively new student groups that produce around six productions a year. Within these organizations, direct production involvement is vital, and when theaters in the immaculate Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts only open their doors to department projects, these productions are held in the Risley Theater.

Temptation and joyful salvation all in one bite: the allure of D’Angelo’s music lies in his strange, almost erratic, construction of notes that form a cohesive melody, backed by soulful bass. His music is slowly chewing on dark chocolate in a dimly lit room — sweet, mellow and honest — something sacred found between church pews and studio speakers.

On a hillside in Honduras, water flows through a network of concrete channels, mixing and settling until it emerges clear and drinkable. This simple yet innovative process — powered entirely by gravity — is the heart of AguaClara, a Cornell-born initiative providing sustainable water treatment to communities worldwide.

Deciding to go to Cornell was, by all accounts, an unorthodox decision. No one from my school had ever gone to school in the United States, let alone Cornell. I had to register my school on the Common App, spending hours cajoling my high school’s bureaucracy to make it happen. But I knew Cornell, and more broadly the States, was where I wanted to be. A land of good and plenty, of dynamism and opportunity: compared to the apparent stagnation of Great Britain, the New World beckoned to me, a better, bigger, brighter recapitulation of British culture. A culture of a country still being built, rather than one slowly fading.

“Did you know Tame Impala is just one guy?” This question has been asked by countless indieheads hoping to impress others with their musical knowledge, so much so that it has become a popular meme. The question also emphasizes the sheer talent of Kevin Parker, the sole member of Tame Impala: How could “just one guy” play so many different instruments and produce such rich songs? Unfortunately, however, Parker failed to imbue Tame Impala’s newest release with the sort of awe-inspiring quality associated with his past work.

The song “Count the Ways” from The Last Dinner Party’s new release From the Pyre is a good microcosm of everything I love about the band. The song is simultaneously orchestral and gritty, with a deep, buzzy bassline that feels charged, both electrically and erotically, which creates such a sense of melodrama. You can feel the desperate longing in Morris’s voice as she gasps, “I count the days / Since I could recall your face.” In fact, Morris’s voice acts as an anchor amidst the intricate production, which includes everything from the band’s vocals reminiscent of a choir to sliding strings over the aforementioned bass. There is so much going on in the interplay of vocals and instrumentation. The song is melodramatic, sonically fascinating and deeply emotional. And it creates such a full-bodied listening experience, one where I feel as if the song is seeping into my skin and expelling all these emotions.

Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton died at age 79 this past week on Oct. 11. Since the news, many collaborators and friends have issued statements on the positive impact she made through her life. She wore many hats: she influenced fashion from the ’70s onward in her adoption of men’s vintage clothing; she was a photographer who released piquant mixed-media pieces; she adopted and raised two children; and of course will be canonized most of all for the indelible impact she has left on film.

Let me tell you a secret. You (yes, you), are a muse worth writing love songs about. You’re the main character in the movie that is your life and you deserve a soundtrack to go along with it. However, unlike the movies we watch in theaters, our lives are difficult to pin down into a specific genre. Sometimes the roommate chronicles turn you into the infuriated lead of a chaotic drama; other days your prelim scores come back and life is suddenly a horror movie. More often than not, the days drag on in what can feel like an impressively boring documentary you would rather sleep through. But how often do you get to live out a rom-com?
