From students to silver screen Victoria Pereira

T

he UA’s finest filmmakers are exhibiting their senior thesis films this Saturday night at the annual “I Dream in Widescreen” event at the Fox Tucson Theatre.

Many students seeking a bachelor’s degree at the UA must complete a senior thesis project that represents all of what they have studied and learned throughout their college career.

For some, this is a paper or a project, but for those aiming to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the School of Theatre, Film and Television a slightly different task is put forth: to create and direct their very own short film.

Over the course of their senior year, students must write, revise, plan and shoot their film in the fall semester and edit, reshoot, advertise and finalize their projects in the spring. The projects are each a gigantic undertaking, and the students put hours upon hours of work into making their vision come to life. A few students also opted to write screenplays of television show pilots or feature films, and although their work will not be able to be exhibited, they will be recognized at the event as well.

“The films are the culminating achievements of [the students’] time in the program,” said Jacob Bricca, assistant professor for the School of Theatre, Film and Television. “For the school, it’s a celebration of our talent and the collaborations that happen here.”

Bricca taught the spring half of the senior thesis course, in which he advised the students on the editing process, among other things.

A STILL FROM Joe Chavez’s film “Whistle.”

Nine films will be making their debuts on Saturday night, and the program is stacked with a variety of genres and a selection of stories that has something to appeal to every audience member’s interests. From “Slashed!”, a short combining the horror, musical and comedy genres, to the dramatic and visually detailed “Lipstick,” the filmmakers brought their own voice and creativity into their projects to eloquently tell their stories.

“It’s a passion project for everybody,” said Lisanne Skyler, an associate professor who

teaches the fall portion of the BFA senior thesis class. “You’re here until two in the morning but you don’t care because you’re making your film better.”

Even in the last week or so before “I Dream in Widescreen,” the BFA seniors were still retouching their films and ensuring that the final product they put up on the theater screen is the best it could possibly be.

Joe Chavez, one of the film and television seniors screening his movie this Saturday, created “Whistle,” a story set in a dystopian

THE DAILY WILDCAT

future in which children are abducted and trained to be soldiers for a corrupted government.

“My film is about a man who risks his life to save an abducted child recruit from a callous sergeant,” Chavez said. “It’s about a guy who becomes a hero.”

Chavez began writing the film back in the very beginning of the fall semester and was retouching some color correction earlier this week before giving in his final edition for screening this weekend.

Not only do the student filmmakers want their films to look pristine for exhibition on the big screen, but there are also some prizes at stake. Several corporate partners of the Film and Television department have donated prizes for the winners of awards spanning the different roles and aspects of filmmaking.

The five awards that will be given out on Saturday include excellence in editing, cinematography, production design and producing and the Fancy New Filmmaker Award, which gives the winner the opportunity to run their film through the international film festival circuit.

“I Dream in Widescreen” begins at 7 p.m. at the Fox Tucson Theatre downtown, and tickets can be purchased at the door or online for $5.

Seats fill up quick, so it is recommended that attendees buy theirs in advance to be sure that they won’t miss out on seeing these stories being told for the first time on a big screen.

‘Ultron’ one of Marvel’s finest

BY WRITER NAME

The Daily Wildcat

Marvel Studios

the reel deal by alex guyton

“A

vengers: Age of Ultron” has it all, and it has a lot of it: Characters, plot, action, humor, emotion. Though this can work against it, it’s largely effective and ultimately very entertaining.

This sequel starts off treading in the familiar territory of its predecessor, for better and for worse. The better is that the first scene, an all-out Avengers assault on a snowy Hydra compound, wastes no time in showcasing what we’ve all come to see. You’d be hard-pressed to find finer action sequences in films today than when Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Hulk/ Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow/ Nathasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) are operating on the battlefield in perfect harmony.

Like in the alien invasion of New York finale in 2012’s “The Avengers,” there’s a spectacular tracking shot that bounces from member to member.

The worse is that, even if it’s only for this film’s opening sequence, the film’s plot revolves around the team retrieving Loki’s staff from the clutches of evil organization Hydra. Loki’s staff was the main plot device in the first film, and it took a little wind out of the sails to see the same trope trotted out again.

Thankfully, the scepter is just a means to an end and quickly gives way to something much more interesting: Ultron (James Spader).

As Stark’s brainchild, the Ultron program was intended to create an army of Iron Man-suited robots outfitted with artificial intelligence to combat any large-scale threats to the world. There are two movies currently out in theaters about A.I.: the thinking man’s

thriller “Ex Machina,” and this action-packed “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Despite their obvious differences, the films share a similar sentiment: humans are an outdated model.

Ultron gains sentience, and it takes him all of half a minute of existence to reach a conclusion.

“There is only one path to peace: … your extinction.”

Without question, the 8-foot, bipedal metal harbinger of humanity’s reckoning is the best villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Though his intent to rid the world of man and populate it with himself is a little rote — I mean, which advanced A.I. hasn’t deemed humanity a sickness unto itself? — Ultron’s plan is certainly impressive to behold once it reaches fruition. He exacts his master plan with personality, too.

While Spader physically performed as Ultron in a motion capture suit, it’s his voice work that perfectly complements the style that’s characteristic of writer/director Joss Whedon: threatening, yet irreverently humorous.

“I can’t physically throw up in my mouth, but if I could, I would do it,” he says in response to Captain America’s attempt at extending an olive branch.

Again, in Whedon fashion, the humor peppers the action, with barbs between the various members flying as frequently as bullets and blasts.

“They better not be playing hide the zucchini,” Stark quips when the Hulk and Black Widow are absent from one of the film’s big brouhahas.

As you might imagine, the film is largely composed of giant action set pieces with some narrative sprinkled in between to propel us to

the next one.

It’s like a high-speed baton pass. If there was time to sit down and examine frame-byframe, you might see that the baton is, even for a fraction of a second, mid-air between runners’ hands with no support. Likewise, some plot points seem slightly suspect. In real time, though, it’s all so much to comprehend that, even if the rationale doesn’t sound like it adds up, you’re shuttled along so quickly that you don’t have time to protest.

The film is so stuffed to the gills that it has to clip along at this breakneck pace. There are the six Avengers, Ultron and the two supernatural twins, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, respectively) first introduced at the end of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” That’s nine distinct characters with nine distinct arcs. Even with a running time close to two-and-a-half hours, that’s a lot.

There’s emotion and character development, but it comes in between, and sometimes in the middle of, the cacophonous flurry of battle. It’s hard for it all to land effectively and authentically. There’s just a lot of everything, and some of it gets lost.

However, it’s due to this striving to make the film as much as it can be that makes “Avengers: Age of Ultron” pure popcorn entertainment of the highest quality.

HAPI hulas to educate and entertain at UA

E

Chelsea Cook

ver wondered what it would be like to experience a real luau but have yet to traverse the Pacific to see one on Hawaii? Well, Friday on the UA Mall, the Hawaiian and Pacific Islander club is performing an authentic luau for students with limited airline miles.

The luau is the club’s largest event of the year, and the members have been actively planning it since the beginning of this semester. The luau will consist of food from Mama’s Hawaiian Barbecue and entertainment from many local acts, as well as the club itself.

“Some of the anticipated acts include Hawaiian and Polynesian dancers, a traditional Philippines dance called Tinikling and student singing and dance groups, like Dia Clones,” said Celine Bui, president of HAPI and a public health junior.

Wildcat EVENT CALENDAR

HAPI was created so that Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students would be able to spread their culture across campus.

“Our club’s fundamental purpose is to educate the Tucson community and about the various cultures in the Pacific Islands through social events, philanthropy and fundraising,” said Wendy Luu, secretary of HAPI and a pre-pharmacy senior.

In order to spread awareness of those cultures through the community, HAPI plans many events such as the luau, because they are not only fun and entertaining but also serve an educational purpose.

The luau allows for the club to come together with professional luau dancers in the Tucson community to prepare for this event, such as Hula Halau and the Siva Maia Polynesian Dancers, according to Trinh Nguyen, vice president of HAPI and a senior studying molecular and cellular biology.

This event not only allows the UA community to learn about the Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture but also allows the

members of HAPI to grow, due to the fact that they partner with these professional dance groups who are also representing the same cultures.

Many members of the club became aware of HAPI through the Asian Pacific American Student Affairs, which also oversees many other clubs, such as: Asian American Cultural Association, Epic, Vietnamese Student Association and the Filipino American Student Association. All of these clubs allow students to spread their love of their specific cultures to the rest of the campus.

Tackling the Tucson ‘Super Smash’ tourney

A

Whether you identify with Pikachu, Bowser or Kirby, test your button-smashing skills at Smash Gone Retro

Alex Furrier

large part of life entails learning how to lose, but “losing” and “fun” don’t go hand-in-hand. “Losing” and “anger” or “frustration” are much more common binaries. Some of the more colorful fights in my life came as a result of losing to my brothers in video games, from “Madden” to “Halo.” The “Super Smash Bros.” video game series transcends winners and losers.

Perhaps this is because the creators of “Super Smash Bros.” never intended it to be played competitively, but it could simply be a result of the “Smash” community absorbing all the positive byproducts of video games and rejecting the unsavory bits. (See: throwing controllers in frustration, language-not-acceptable-for-print, gloating over a defeated opponent, etc.) Make no mistake, though: This weekend, I got my ass kicked.

Every Sunday, The Retro Room on Fort Lowell Road hosts a “Super Smash Bros. 4” tournament, and this past week, I decided to enter. After arriving at 1:30 p.m., I entered The Retro Room and meandered back to the dimly lit tournament room with curiosity and apprehension. Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, a gamer’s paradise revealed itself: the walls covered with old game systems, arcade games and the setup for the “Smash Bros.” tournament. Two TVs and a projector played host to the “Smash” matches.

Roughly 15 contestants littered the room.

I’ve been playing “Smash” since the second grade when “Smash” on the Nintendo 64 proved to be the game of choice for all-nighters. This seemed to be common among the competitors. Cameron Solem, an optical science graduate student, has also been playing since the Nintendo 64 days, and enjoys the game “for the unique fighting — the free flowing combat allows for more options and mobility.”

After all the players entered their names and those in charge configured the brackets, the matches began. Each matchup consisted of a best of three under-two-stock games.

Each stock in “Smash” is a “life.” In a head-to-head matchup, the first player to take two stocks from their opponent (either by knocking them so far off the stage they cannot recover, or by “smashing” them off the stage completely) wins. Best two-out-of-three games moves on, and, in the double elimination setup, the defeated moves to the losers’ bracket for a chance at redemption.

The “Smash” competitors went out of their way to accommodate beginners, making sure no one felt out of place.

My first match took place up on the projector, and I was up against a player whose username was SFA_JA3. I should’ve known I was in trouble as SFA_JA3 was sporting a Yoshi T-shirt and some Beats headphones that help him reach what I assume was “fullon Smash Zen”. I chose to play as Marth, an easy character to play, and my opponent went with Yoshi. After a furious ballet of swords and egg bombs, Yoshi came out on top. I managed to put up a decent fight and managed to take a stock off of SFA_JA3.

In the losers’ bracket, I faced my next opponent: a quiet assassin who went by the name of Mr. Quentin (real name: Quentin). Quentin was rocking Pikachu, while I chose Marth again. Mr. Quentin didn’t have much trouble with me, although in the first match, he managed to fall off the stage and lose a stock; I told him I was definitely taking credit for that.

In the second game, Mr. Quentin eviscerated me in a surgical beat-down that I have since scrubbed from my mind. After my defeat, my friend, Cameron, came over and gave me some tips on playing Marth. Yet another instance of a “Smash” player looking out for newer players. What were Cameron’s tips? I would tell you, but everyone knows you don’t share trade secrets in public.

Final score: Smash Gone Retro 2, Alex 0. I managed to lose eight stocks while taking two, and one of those was the other player falling, but hey, that just means I have plenty of room for improvement. In the end, Andrew Ryan, tournament organizer and Arizona’s No. 2-ranked player, took the title of Smash Gone Retro champion for the 12th consecutive time. Winners and losers appear to be so black-and-white, but that’s not what “Smash” is about. The real takeaway was just how fun and encouraging the entire community at Smash Gone Retro was. I can honestly say I’ve never had so much fun getting destroyed.

Social dining apps: ‘It’s like Uber, except for eating’ BY megan mohler

Arizona Sonora News Service

A

Tom Moore, Laura Kepner-Adney’s husband, prepares steaks in their home in Tucson.

rizona couples have given a whole new meaning to “guess who’s coming to dinner.”

The cooks are trailblazing in Arizona the national trend of social dining experiences by hosting home-cooked meals for strangers, connected through websites such as BookaLokal and EatWith.

It’s like Uber except for eating.

“I think food is a great way to bring people together,” said Laura KepnerAdney, a bartender and musician from Tucson. “Hosting makes me happy.”

Kepner-Adney is the sole Arizonan dinner host on BookaLokal. Her first and only customer so far has been Evelynne White, founder of BookaLokal, which has 10,000 registered users in Arizona. The menu? Burgers, with local produce and meat bought at a UA meat sale.

Capella Kincheloe of Phoenix said she started to host because she loves to cook and “it seemed like a good way to meet new and interesting people.” She said that in the past year, she has hosted four times through the website EatWith.

The process begins with an inquiry, then a view at the full user profile, some conversation about food preferences and then getting a group together. Guests typically pay about $30 a plate.

Kincheloe offers one dining experience that she calls “Southern BBQ with Southwestern twist.”

The concept is similar to Uber, where anyone can get a ride from citizen drivers via a mobile application. These are citizen cooks, linked with hungry diners via websites.

EatWith, a company launched in Barcelona, has expanded worldwide to connect local chefs with tourists and other locals through food.

White, who lives in the Washington area, created BookaLokal while she was living abroad in Brussels.

Both websites connect a local city chef with people who sign up for specific types of dining experiences

that range from regional fare to food tours and personal specialties.

“There’s something you can’t get from going to a restaurant,” said Naama Shefi, communications director for EatWith. She said guests can connect with chefs personally and ask them direct questions faceto-face.

Shefi, who lives in Israel, said only 4 percent of the thousands of applications they receive are chosen to host meals, often following a demonstration dinner or video interview.

Emily Weber, community manager for BookaLokal, said becoming a host is a process of verification through meeting and tasting a sample meal.

The ideal host, according to Weber, is someone who is excited and hospitable.

Weber has hosted meals and used the site when traveling.

“It’s really fun not knowing who is coming to dinner,” she said.

“You never know what you’re going to get.”

As international organizations, social dining websites are “a young space,” according to White.

Currently, neither site is regulated by government for health or safety standards. Shefi and Weber said they have not had to deal with guest or host safety issues to date.

“I’ve never heard of this before,” said Laura Oxley, a spokeswoman for the Arizona Department of Health Services.

According to Oxley, if a food safety issue were to arise from social dining, the governing county health department would do an investigation, but it would most likely be handled in civil court if the diner sued. The state health department would help in an investigation by liaising between counties or states if the case belonged to an out-of-state consumer.

White said many people who have used the social dining website as a traveler said the experience was the best part of their trip.

“I have no doubt in five to 10 years, this will be how people dine when traveling,” White said.

‘Casual Vacancy’ kills on screen TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

T

hose who live by the scone must be prepared to die by it as well.

There’s nothing many Americans (myself included) like more than a good wallow in the sylvan coziness of the British countryside. Murder mysteries, period dramas, fantasy epics, modern adult romance — all benefit from gentle hills dotted with ancient churches, rivers winding past storybook villages and conversations prefaced by “I’ll put the kettle on.”

Honestly, it’s past time someone gave us television tourists a serious reality check. The BBC’s “Broadchurch” took the tropes to task, but “The Casual Vacancy,” a coproduction of HBO and the BBC, tears them apart.

A three-part, three-hour, starstudded miniseries adapted from J.K. Rowling’s first post-“Harry Potter” novel, “The Casual Vacancy” is a heartbreaking, thought-provoking if occasionally simplistic look at the tyrannical power of the picturesque.

An island of spires and cobblestone

nestled in a patchwork of hedgerows and luminous fields, Pagford is the sort of town many of us long to visit on holiday. Which is precisely why certain members of the parish council are so hot to turn a local historic complex into a luxury hotel and spa. Unfortunately for them, Sweetlove House has served for years as a community center that provides a variety of services, including drug rehabilitation to the nearby council estate, known as the Fields.

This means the poor, the troubled, the addicted, afflicted and the otherwise disenfranchised make their way through Pagford’s charming streets on a daily basis. And, my dear, it’s simply not to be borne.

At least that’s the attitude taken by local merchant Howard Mollison (Michael Gambon), his wife, Shirley (Julia McKenzie), and those they have rallied to their pro-spa cause.

Opposing the Mollisons are an equal number of council members led by Barry Fairbrother (Rory Kinnear), a social worker who argues that it’s people, not scenery, that make a community.

When Barry dies unexpectedly,

his seat — the casual vacancy of the title — and its deciding vote is up for grabs. Howard and Shirley nominate their malleable son Miles (Rufus Jones), while members of the more liberal faction force the already anxiety-riddled high school principal Colin Wall (Simon McBurney) to run against him.

But this is not a tale of politics, or at least not of a political race, so much as it is an examination of how a conflict over economic development can swiftly and irrevocably affect people’s lives, including those of a local doctor (Lolita Chakrabarti), Miles’ wife, Samantha (Keeley Hawes), Barry’s young nephew Arf (Joe Hurst) and Krystal Weedon (Abigail Lawrie), a citizen of the Fields.

In adapting the novel, screenwriter Sarah Phelps chose to focus on the youth, often to the detriment of the elders. The senior Mollisons are so one-dimensionally contemptible that even the theatrically superhuman Gambon and McKenzie can do little more than slather on the villainy.

Fortunately, the complexity of the story lines about the youth more than compensates. Arf is a gentle soul

trying to cope with a new crush, an abusive father and an increasingly destructive best friend, but it’s Krystal who quickly becomes the center of the tale.

The daughter of a heroin addict, she is desperately trying to raise her young brother and save her mother’s life. With a face masked by makeup, cheap earrings and brazen defiance, newcomer Lawrie is an absolute marvel, a throat-closing combination of indifference and courage. (A brief scene in which her momentarily sober mother and she share soup on the sofa will leave any child of an addict or alcoholic sobbing into the seat cushions — don’t say you weren’t warned.)

Rowling was a single mother living on government assistance when she introduced the world to “Harry Potter,” so it is to her everlasting credit that this is her first post-Harry tale.

Despite its celebration of the outcast, the “Harry Potter” series introduced the pleasures of High Brit Gothicquaint to a whole new generation.

(All hail the Leaky Cauldron.) Indeed, the arguments over Sweetlove House could be made for those buildings

and towns made famous by the films.

Although the names are a bit of an overkill — Sweetlove, Fairbrother — “The Casual Vacancy” uses many hallmarks of the modern pastoral only to pry them apart. Pagford is also the name of the fictional town where Dorothy Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey and his bride famously spent their honeymoon.

But for all the local overtones, the themes are first-world universal.

Every town and city faces similar situations in which gentrification and development occur to the detriment of the poor or troubled.

Indeed, in many ways, “The Casual Vacancy” is a contemporary retelling of that American classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Like Jimmy Stewart’s George Bailey, Barry served as the town’s social conscience; remove him and chaos reigns. Only in this version, the damage is not angel-inspired fantasy, and the bleak reality remains, making it difficult to look at any bit of carefully rendered “charm” quite the same way again.

MFA exhibit shows years of artwork

he students hoping to graduate with a Master of Fine Arts this May are currently undergoing their final exam with their art pieces on display in a special exhibit at the UA Museum of Art. “The MFA thesis exhibition is to showcase the art of each graduating MFA [candidate] to the public, university and school of art,” said MFA student Thomas Alexander Saffle.

“The show is also a final test requirement of each student pursuing an MFA.” Not only does the public get to see the art from each of the students, but the graduate students also get a chance to browse through their peers’ work.

“The purpose is to show off how we have honed out skills at expressing our ideas and concerns over the course of three years of study at the UA,” said student Serge J-F. Levy. “In an advertent way, it has also been the first opportunity many of us have had to see each other’s work since partaking in required first-year courses. It’s been great to see the outcome.”

The exhibit serves as a sort of culmination of the past three years of study

and showcases all of the hard effort the students have used to create their works. “[I decided] take a summer painting class with my trusted professor, Mr. Alfred Quiroz [to prepare for the exhibit],” said Leanne Carol Miller, an MFA student.

“During [the] six weeks, I worked in the studio five days a week, as if it were a job; I experimented and tried new things.”

Miller said she began planning her piece for the exhibit almost a year ago, when her work from her summer class became a sort of concept art for her final piece. Over the course of this year, she used photos of nature that she had taken to influence her piece.

“My work currently deals with slightly fantastical landscapes as my native land but includes abstraction in places to describe the unseen, unknowable and mysterious,” Miller said.

Levy said he was raised an artist, and the

UA has helped him expand his horizons.

“I was born and bred and spent most of my life in New York City,” Levy said. “I was surrounded by artists and I always frequented museums and galleries. Moving to the desert was the best thing I could have done for my art.

It has compelled me to use the surrounding landscape — the desert flora, fauna and topography — as a source of reflection and inspiration.”

— Serge J-F. Levy, This change in MFA student environment has also drastically impacted Levy’s work, as it once consisted of mainly city photography, and it now is mainly landscape and personal documentary photographs.

Saffle said he also had a similar experience after attending the UA. “My horizons were broadened considerably,” Saffle said. “I learned and was exposed to many more different artists’ artwork and was educated to a greater

degree about how to think and theorize in general.”

Saffle has been working on his piece for the exhibit for about a year and a half, so it is evident that he spent an immense amount of time planning and laying out his final work. His style, as he describes it, is “a mixture of craftsmanship and symbolism utilizing landscape as a genre.”

Many of the artists have different plans concerning what they wish to do after graduation. Miller will be teaching as an adjunct here at the UA over the summer and will also be taking multiple residencies at different locations in order to further broaden her horizons. Levy is currently applying for teaching positions throughout the country, because he said he wants to be able to spread the inspiration and energy that art can bring to a classroom.

The MFA exhibit will be at the UA Museum of Fine Art through May 15, and admission is free to all UA students with a valid CatCard. Come explore the works of these talented UA students as they seek out their Master of Fine Arts.

t is not uncommon for people to mistake the UA as a pretty basic campus — fashionwise, that is. It is easy to understand why this stereotype frequently associates itself with the UA style scene; when strolling to class in the morning, a seemingly ceaseless sea of The North Face, Lululemon Athletica, Sperry Top-Sider, Tory Burch and Polo envelopes our campus. Sporting these highly popular brands is, of course, perfectly okay. However, original style still persists within the university gates. Some Wildcats avoid conforming to fashion norms by wearing these more “basic” trends and choose to indulge in more unique, personal styles.

1. Kyli McQueen (freshman 2. Joane Umaya (psychology 3. Carolina Colantuoni (graphic 4. Alexander Taylor (prestudying pre-neuroscience and freshman) design freshman) physiology junior) cognitive science) Who or what inspires your style most?

Who or what inspires your style the most?

How would you describe your style in three Who or what inspires your style most?

I wouldn’t say that I have any specific people as inspirations — I kind of just look around online on sites like Tumblr, and I try to just wear what’s most comfortable but also looks good.

Whose closet would you raid and why?

If I could raid anyone’s closet, I would raid the closet of FKA Twigs, because she probably wears the coolest clothes I’ve ever seen.

How would you define personal style?

Personal style is just a person’s expression of how they’re feeling and who they think they are, and I think it’s all about just being yourself and wearing what’s comfortable and what makes you feel most beautiful.

Vogue or Nylon?

Nylon.

Runway or street style?

Street style.

Your style in three words?

Casual, comfortable, unique.

How do you try to make the world perceive you through your style?

I always try to come off as approachable, but I try to keep it very — I try to wear colors that complement my skin tones or characteristics, so I just try to be very light and airy, wear white things and [light] colors.

I just kind of wear what I like. Like, I feel like a I don’t have a style. I don’t look at magazines or anything. I don’t know. I like thrift shopping, really old. … I just usually do a lot of sales shopping. I’m not about buying $40 shirts. I don’t really have an inspiration, I think.

I wouldn’t say it’s a who — it’s more of a what for me, because I don’t derive my style from other people. Mainly, it’s just how I’m feeling in the morning, like what I want to wear. Experience or places, [to be] specific. Also, time periods, as well — I really like stuff from the ’60s.

How would you describe your style in a couple words?

I’m very minimalistic. I’m not much of a pattern person, but if I am [wearing one], I’ll pair it with other really simple things. Only three of my shirts actually have patterns, so just really minimal, I think.

Describe your style in a few words.

I would say classy and youthful.

Runway or street style?

Street style. I feel like I don’t like really fancy things. I feel like runway is more fancy. I just go for the bumming, just throw it on [look].

Whose closet would you raid if you could?

I’m not very in [touch] with celebrities. I just like really dark colors. I’m going to say Vanessa Hudgens. I really like her boho style. I guess that’s one thing — I really like loose things. I hate tight shirts. I will not.

What does personal style mean to you?

I guess just not being, like, up with a trend, I don’t know. Like when high-waisted shorts was a trend, not following that — just stick with what you like.

What do you try to accomplish through your style aesthetic?

I guess my goal is just to always look presentable and classy with a little twist of my own to incorporate my own artistic feelings, I guess, [what makes me] feel confident about myself, too.

Runway or street style?

Kind of a mix. I’d go for a hybrid.

If you could raid anyone’s closet, who and why?

I’m not going to lie, I would definitely raid Taylor Swift’s closet. She just dresses really nicely.

How would you define style/fashion?

I guess [it’s] your own personal aesthetic — what you enjoy. Just your take on what things should look like.

Do you pay attention to the fashion scene or read magazines?

Nope. [Only] at the doctor’s office.

words?

In three words: funky, creative, … um, the last word is tough. Definitely funky and creative … and unique, I guess? That’s kind of a bland word, but definitely funky and creative.

Where do you draw your style inspiration?

I would have to say Kanye West, number one. … Fashionwise, he’s definitely making moves.

RuPaul is tight. I don’t crossdress or anything, but I like him as a person. I like what he’s done with the whole crossdressing and fashion scene in general.

And Brittany Spears’ ex-husband, K-Fed. K-Fed was nice. He was cool. I like to look at what people are wearing and throw my own twist on things, go from there.

Where do you find your clothes for the most part?

I love thrift shopping. And I mean, I shop at the mall — I just go any place if something catches my eye. The number one thing I like is finding old, funky stuff and making it my own.

What does fashion/style mean to you?

When I think of fashion, I think it’s a visual representation of yourself. So you don’t know who I am, but you see what I’m wearing, and you can kind of get a taste of who I am through what I’m wearing. So, like, my goal for my look is to have a creative, up-front, in-your-face style or edge, so you can tell I’m not like everybody else. I don’t like to fit in with the crowd; I like to stand out, and the only way you can do that without knowing me is seeing the way I dress — you see me, you can tell.

It’s a way to describe yourself without words. It’s a visual description of you.

Magrane, Maple a science-poetry team Ivana Goldtooth

F

riday from 7-8:30 p.m., Eric Magrane, poet-in-residence at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, will speak at Antigone Books to talk about the connection between poetry, art and the natural world. The Daily Wildcat caught up with the poet before the event.

Daily Wildcat: How did you start writing poetry?

Magrane: I studied poetry in college and then I did a Masters in Fine Arts [in Creative Writing] here a few years back, and I was drawn to poetry because of the way a poem would help me to slow down and pay attention to the places I was at [...] and help me understand the world and how I, and others, interact with the world. It’s a way to really think [about] language and distilled form, and it’s a kind of meditation in some ways as well. Poetry helps me make sense of the places that I find myself.

How has your work at the UA inspired your poetry?

I do work that blends creative work and environmental research, so the work I’m doing with the Desert Museum and the [UA] Poetry Center is a perfect way to do that, because we are using poetry within the Desert Museum grounds to help tell the story of the Sonoran Desert in new and surprising ways [...] that are different from traditional signage but ways that surprise visitors and encourage visitors to think in other ways about conservation to other species. […]

That’s a question I [address] in my research in geography as well. I study how humans and non-humans interact with their environment, so being able to work with the Desert Museum and the Poetry Center helps me to bring those things together.

You mentioned you studied poetry in college. What were your other focuses?

I’ve studied sculpture and environmental studies. I’m currently finishing a doctorate in geography.

So my work and my education has blended creative disciplines with scientific disciplines, and that forms a lot of the projects I get involved

SAVANNAH DOUGLAS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ERIC MAGRANE, a research assistant at the UA’s Institute of the Environment, and his ringtail monkey Miss Marple will participate in a reading of his poetic works at Antigone Books on Friday.

Magrane said he enjoys creating poetry that focuses on the environment as a way to inform people; a Q&A session will take place after Magrane’s reading.

with as well.

When did your relationship start with Miss Marple the ringtail?

Staring last fall, Miss Marple and I, as well as others, including Tyler Meier, the director of the Poetry Center, and other[s] from the Desert Museum, have done a number of public presentations, and what happens in these presentations blends myself reading poetry and talking about the project, placing poetry within Desert Museum grounds and also Miss Marple coming out.

How is it working with Miss Marple?

It’s good. She works really close with the keepers at the Desert Museum. There is a large group

of folks who work with animals, so when she comes, she’ll come with one of the animal experience specialists.

What is something you enjoy about poetry and/or Miss Marple?

I enjoy the places poetry can bring me. I go to poetry for a lot of the same reasons I like to go outside or I like to go into nature. Poetry has a type of wildness to it that I really appreciate and look for. It helps me to understand or ascertain our place in the world in ways that I didn’t know beforehand. … Poetry to me is about relationship[s]. The relationship between different humans and other species and between humans and the earth. I [revisit] both poetry and nature to experience that myself, to

refresh and to be surprised.

What fascinates you about the creative process part of your research?

Geography helps me to think about place and environment in very detailed ways. There’s a long history of geography to think about place and environment, and bringing creative projects to thinking about place and environment really helps have a more detailed understanding of the various ways we understand place and environment but also bring that understanding to the creative practice as well [because] it helps tell those stories, but also helps think about what those stories do in the world, how they affect the way we organize ourselves in the world.

What do you hope people will take away from your work and attending the event?

I hope they’ll have fun and that they’ll hear some poetry, enjoy the poetry [and enjoy] the interaction with Miss Marple. It’s fun having a ringtail, state mammal, in a bookstore, and we’ll see what happens. I hope they’ll also hear more about what we’re doing at the Desert Museum in collaboration with the Poetry Center, so it’s a chance for people to ask about that project.

Four centuries later, Shakespeare still proves ‘the play’s the thing’ Anna Mae Ludlum

L

ast week marked the passing of 399 years since William Shakespeare, writer of two epic poems, 154 sonnets and 38 plays, who is quoted like the final authority on any subject and circumstance, died at 52.

His writing is almost biblical because his epic stories never shied away from the rawness of human nature easily fraught with hatred, love and unbridled wants and the moral laws that inevitably come into play.

“He’s given us — through poetry — concrete ways of understanding things,” said Brent Gibbs, Arizona Repertory Theatre artistic director.

Despite these universal themes, Shakespeare has been trapped in the genre of classic literature, used and abused by politicians and even middleweight boxer Jake LaMotta, all quoting him in an effort to rebrand their image and sound wise and credible — as if Shakespeare would have approved them and their platform.

By the 20th century, Shakespeare was no longer deemed the writer for the everyman, instead being cast as pretentious and inaccessible.

Chris Okawa, a musical theatre senior, proved himself adept in bringing the words of Shakespeare’s “Othello” to life under Gibb’s insightful direction, with a commitment to do justice to Shakespeare’s writing.

Without losing any poetic language, these two men succeeded in reminding their audience what it must have been like to see this production when it was contemporary writing.

“Shakespeare gives you everything you need, but you have to relax into it,” Gibbs said. “Don’t fear to realize that just because something isn’t easy, doesn’t mean something isn’t worthwhile.”

Okawa acknowledged he struggled with Shakespeare’s language, like most people, but with the enthusiasm of his high school theater teacher, he gained a deeper appreciation of the bard.

“There is a whole thing about haberdashery in ‘The Taming of the Shrew,’ and I was like, ‘That’s not even a real thing anymore,’” Okawa said. “Then I drove past, the other day, Heavenly Hats and Haberdashery in Phoenix.”

Gibbs was also introduced to Shakespeare in high school when assigned to adapt a scene from “Macbeth,” replacing the Scotsman’s murder weapon with poisoned tater tots.

Deeply passionate in making Shakespeare accessible and humanizing the man put on a pedestal, Gibbs teaches his students how everyday lexicon, ideas and concepts originated with Shakespeare in an effort to minimize the distance between modern society and the timeless writer.

ANGELINE CARBAJAL /THE DAILY WILDCAT

BRENT GIBBS, associate professor and artistic director of Arizona Repertory Theatre, said he believes William Shakespeare’s work can still relate to today’s world. Gibbs has directed several of Shakespeare’s pieces, including “Henry V,” “Hamlet” and his most recent play, “Othello.”

“I connect with the plays, and I connect more and more deeply with them the more I study them and the more I teach them,” said renowned Shakespeare scholar and UA English professor Frederick Keifer of the time and patience required to guide his students to find joy in Shakespeare’s work.

The difficulty can be found in Shakespeare’s uncomfortably relentless need to make his audience question what they believe to be true when based on experiences, the age in which you live, the place you reside and the influence of those around you.

“What he always does is show you this is the price you pay when you do stuff like that,” Gibbs said, describing Othello’s abuse of the innocent after falling prey to a lie cloaked as truth. “There is a moral ramification for it.”

Of course, his writing often reveals he was a man of his era, seen in the caricatured Jewish money-lender Shylock in “The Merchant of Venice.”

Despite this, for Okawa, it’s the many aphorisms in his writing that illuminate Shakespeare’s value.

“To me, those are just direct eternal truths,” Okawa said. “If you can retain one of those from attending a production, I would say that’s worth the value of a ticket.”

Despite those truths, Shakespeare’s job was to entertain. Quoting “Hamlet,” Keifer’s favorite play, he succinctly concluded why Shakespeare’s work remains resilient: “The play’s the thing.”

Arizona hits road for key UCLA series

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

Arizona softball travels to UCLA this weekend to face the Bruins in a crucial threegame series that could help determine the UA’s postseason seeding.

The No. 16 Wildcats (37-12, 12-6 Pac-12 Conference) looked dominant last weekend in a sweep over Pac-12 bottom-feeder Stanford, but No. 7 UCLA (41-8, 15-3) should provide a much tougher challenge.

The Bruins, who sit right above Arizona at second in the Pac-12 standings, lead the conference in ERA and are also one of the best hitting teams in the nation.

“We live for the games that are close,” Arizona infielder Hallie Wilson said. “... We are going to see those the next few weekends.”

An unbalanced schedule pits the Wildcats against UCLA and then Pac-12 leader Oregon next week to close out regular season play.

Playing the lowly Cardinal right before two big opponents provides a double-edged sword for Arizona softball coach Mike Candrea. He said he was pleased with the team’s offensive outburst — the Wildcats averaged over 14 runs per game last week — but knows UCLA’s pitching will be a major step up.

“I think some of our hitters got healthy mentally,” Candrea said. “Now the challenge will be [to] make good adjustments and get good hitting. Pitching is going to amp up, so it’s

going to be a little different.”

Scoring has not usually been an issue for Arizona, as it leads the nation with a .371 batting average and is third in the NCAA in scoring.

Every UA position player is batting over .300, and Chelsea Goodacre leads the country with 76 RBIs. However, there is some room for concern,

as the Wildcats have had trouble scoring runs against elite opponents. Earlier this season in nonconference play, Arizona was held scoreless by top-ranked Florida and only managed two runs against Auburn, another top-10 team.

UCLA’s pitching staff could cause the UA similar trouble. The Bruins are led by Ally

Carda, who has a 1.99 ERA to go with a 22-4 record. Johanna Grauer is also capable of shutting down lineups, as she enters the series with a 10-1 record and 2.60 ERA. If runs are to come at a premium for Arizona, it could spell trouble given the Wildcats’ pitching situation.

The UA rotated Michelle Floyd, Siera Phillips and Trish Parks throughout the Stanford series. While the staff generally limited a meandering Stanford lineup to little offense, their performances did not instill a ton of confidence.

“I don’t think we have a seven-inning pitcher right now,” Candrea said. “The best way to utilize all three is to start Michelle, see how far she goes, probably bring in Siera and hopefully be able to use 70 [mph] at the end [from Parks].

But again, the big thing for us is to get ahead of hitters and throw strikes.”

Arizona can’t afford to lend UCLA any extra help, given the Bruins have an offense with nearly as impressive numbers as the Wildcats.

Allexis Bennett leads the team with a .507 batting average, a mark that ranks in the top five nationally.

The series begins Friday with a 5 p.m. first pitch and continues through the weekend. All three games will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

Track and field set for rivalry Duel in the Desert with ASU

BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat

Before the Arizona track and field team heads into postseason play, the Wildcats will head to ASU to compete against their rivals in the Duel in the Desert.

Arizona track and field coach Fred Harvey said the two squads are evenly matched.

Harvey added that he thinks the ASU girls may have a slight edge over the UA girls, but feels the UA men have the edge over the ASU men.

Regardless of Harvey’s opinions, the meet will be an opportunity to get a look at what his team is capable of doing before heading into the Pac-12 Championships.

Harvey said the Duel in the Desert will most likely be decided by a few events that he believes can swing in either side’s favor. In particular, he said the women’s relay events and long jump will be crucial to win the meet.

Harvey said he thinks his girls have the edge in

the long jump competition, but that neither side has a clear-cut advantage in any event.

“Anything can happen in a rivalry,” Harvey said.

Gia Trevisan will be competing in the 400-meter dash and the 4x400 meter relay, teaming up with Tatum Waggoner, Lizzie Smith and Nnenya Hailey. The Arizona women have not beat the ASU 4x400 team this season, but this is the first time this tandem will be running together.

Trevisan said it will be an exciting race and that her mindset will be different because the Wildcats are facing their rival.

“It’s a race where you have more emotion,” Trevisan said. “You really want to beat them. If you believe you can do something, you will.”

Trevisan also said it is important to focus on what you can do individually but to not overthink it. She said her team must remember there is one goal at the end of the day: beating ASU. “It’s important to see the big picture in beating them,” Trevisan said.

Harvey said an important factor in determining the outcome of the meet is how ASU will use Shelby Houlihan. He said she is their fastest runner, and the amount of events and what events she competes in can affect the outcome of the race.

The Wildcats have had a rather light training week going into the Duel in the Desert, as Harvey has kept his squad focusing more on the mental aspect of the meet.

Having the meet the weekend before championship season begins will get the Wildcats ready and focused for the weeks to come. Harvey said he expects the athletes to be at their best.

“There’s nothing better than getting geared for a rivalry,” Harvey said. “Whoever comes out to perform that day is going to win the competition.”

Arizona ready for Cougars on road

BY Rose Aly Valenzuela The Daily Wildcat

After a 17-6 win over rival ASU earlier in the week, Arizona baseball hits the road for a three-game series in Pullman, Wash., to face Washington State.

The Cougars (24-19, 7-11 Pac-12 Conference) are coming off a shutout win over Washington and are two conference wins behind Arizona (2517, 9-12 Pac-12).

The Cougars are in last place in the Pac-12 offensively, hitting .241 as a team. Although Arizona was in a bit of a slump, the Wildcats continue to lead the conference as a team, hitting .311.

“It doesn’t take a genius to notice we disappeared for three weeks offensively, and it’s good to come back,” Arizona baseball coach Andy

Lopez said.

Surpassing last year’s total wins by three games already, Arizona has three conference series and two twogame series left on the season.

“It’d be nice to play one month of really good baseball like we did earlier in the year,” Lopez said.

Lopez said the coaches told the players they looked tentative and to get the ball out of the air last weekend.

With that being said, the Wildcats go into this series having outhit the Sun Devils 20-13 on Tuesday night.

“They look good,” Lopez said. “The guys look really good at the plate, so hopefully we are out of the three week little bit of a slump we were in, and we’re ready to get back on track.”

Scott Kingery, Kevin Newman and Bobby Dalbec continue to lead

Sand volleyball season a major success

BY Jordyn Owen

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona sand volleyball’s second regular season has come to a close. The team played its final matches last Friday in Boise, Idaho, and swept Oregon and Boise State with 5-0 wins.

The Wildcats end their season with an 18-3 record, which is a 10-win improvement over last year.

Arizona sand volleyball coach Steve Walker said this team will be one that future teams will be compared to, and with good reason.

Arizona was ranked 16th during preseason in the inaugural DiG Magazine sand polls and climbed from unranked to No. 10 in the AVCA poll.

The Wildcats started the season 7-0 by beating TCU, LSU, Tulane, Cal Poly, Irvine Valley College, Concordia University and Boise State before their first loss in a hardfought battle with Nebraska during the Wildcat Spring Challenge.

After the loss, Walker said it was a reflection of Arizona playing Nebraska’s game and style of volleyball.

The Wildcats went on to win seven more matches in a row before suffering their only other two losses of the season in duels with No. 1 ranked USC during the Pac-12 Team Invitational. Arizona placed second in the tournament, despite its defeat by USC.

Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona sand volleyball player Kaitlyn Leary (13) practices spikes while partner Madi Kingdon (45) looks on during Arizona’s 4-1 win against ASU at Jimenez Field on April 22. Leary and the Wildcats improved greatly as a team from 2014 to 2015.

A big contributor to the Wildcats’ success this season was the number of athletes that were dedicated to only sand. Last season, only four athletes spent their entire year focused on sand, while the rest of the roster was filled with dual athletes who played indoor volleyball during the fall semester.

The team had 10 sand-only players this

season.

“Having more people in the fall has helped in the spring.” Arizona sophomore Sarah Seiber said. “Now that we’ve had 10 justsand girls in the fall, we’ve all gotten better and had the time to work on our skills.”

Standouts this season include senior pair Madi Kingdon and Kaitlyn Leary, who

made up Arizona’s No. 1 team for most of the season. The duo ended the regular season with a 19-1 record and won the Cal Poly Pairs Tournament.

Another impressive pair for Arizona this season was the sophomore duo made up of twins Madison and McKenna Witt. They played most of the season as Arizona’s No. 2 team but appeared in 12 matches as the No. 1 team for the Wildcats.

The Witt sisters were runners-up to Kingdon and Leary in the Cal Poly Pairs Tournament but represented Arizona during the Pac-12 Pairs Invitational and took home second place after falling to USC. The pair’s regular season record was 24-4.

Both of these pairs are headed to Gulf Shores, Ala., to represent Arizona for the first time in the AVCA Sand Volleyball National Championship. The championship will run from Friday to Sunday and will end with the crowning of the top pair in the nation.

Kingdon, Leary and the Witt sisters said they are all excited for the opportunity to represent Arizona in a national competition.

“We’re really excited for the opportunity to be able to compete for our school, and we can’t wait to go out there and show everybody everything that we’ve been working on,” McKenna Witt said.

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 16

Arizona’s offense.

Kingery will go into the series as the only Arizona player hitting above .400 , with a batting average of .440 .

As for Newman and Dalbec, they’re still sitting pretty with .379 and .343 batting averages, respectively .

Some key offensive players Arizona needs to look out for while facing WSU are Ian Sagdal, who is batting .321 with 27 RBIs and five homers on the season, and Cameron Frost, who has recorded 24 RBIs. Arizona opened its conference play last season against the Cougars and dropped the series 2-1 . The Wildcats dominated the first game 12-1 and kept the last two games close but lost 6-5 and 3-2 .

Friday starter Cody Hamlin is familiar with the Cougars after pitching the second game of the series last year.

Hamlin allowed 10 hits with three earned runs during 7.1 innings of action .

Even Sunday starter Dalbec got some action on the mound during that game as a reliever. Dalbec pitched one inning and took the loss after allowing two hits and two runs.

While Arizona’s pitching suffered the last time the two schools met, Lopez said it is now where it should be and that he thinks they will be fine. The pitching

It doesn’t take a genius to notice we disappeared for three weeks offensively —Andy Lopez, Arizona baseball coach

rotation for Arizona will remain the same with Hamlin on Friday, Nathan Bannister on Saturday and Dalbec on Sunday.

The first pitch of the series is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday, and none of the games will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.
