Most class assignments only lead to a grade. When I completed my application to an international residency for performers in Tuscany, Italy, which was hosted by the International University for Global Theater Experience, I was merely thinking of submitting the copies of the application to my teacher.

“The Divine Feminine” is a subtle surprise that delivers a series of tracks showcasing love through a smooth and mellow fabric. Leading up to the release, Miller himself expressed that the record was initially going to be a EP, but eventually became a full length LP in part due to its concept—a tale of how the world...
The Houston Museum of Natural Science in collaboration with the Houston Society of the Archaeological Institute of America hosted a lecture last month titled, “Maya Ritual Secrets Revealed: Sacrifice, Divination, and Astronomy.” The lecture featured Tomás Gallareta Negrón, a Ph.D. professor from Instituto Nacional de...
People have to do certain things to be hypnotic. Eva Green just needs to be present. Even 10 years after “Casino Royale,” the French actress’ piercing gaze and husky chords remain effective at disarming my senses like the sirens in maritime tales.
