Hey skaters! Horatio here—I am glad you are interested in learning more about my best friend Hamlet. Here is the link to my YouTube Channel where you can watch all of our skating videos and learn more about the show! On the channel, you will find a playlist of videos that talk about Hamlet’s story, including 10 Fun Facts about the play Hamlet, themes and symbols in the play and lots of great information about this Shakespearean tragedy. (And of course, I’ve got some fun behind the scenes skating videos!) Hope you watch all of the videos and enjoy the show!
Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz has sometimes been called "The Phoenix of America," as she is by far the most accomplished and globally read author to come out of the early Spanish-colonized Americas. Writing from New Spain (present day Mexico) , Sor Juana composed brilliant and biting poetry, wrote fiery letters in defense of her own creative spirit and the education of women, as well as dramas like the perfectly formed Spanish Golden Age style piece, House of Desires.
Art in Motion is a new show that was conceptualized by three female ballet faculty in collaboration with the animation department director here at BYU. The show beautifully merges animation, music, and ballet to tell the stories of three female artists from history. Those artists are Berthe Morisot, Sofonisba Anguissola, and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.
When I think of the word powerful, I often associate it with the really unique, rare, extraordinary moments in my life. I envision grandiose gestures or out-of-this-world ideas. However, through my research for BYU’s Art in Motion, three female artists changed my perspective of the word.
