This fall the university's dancers are once again collaborating on an eclectic concert which will showcase dance styles from the hottest jazz to the coolest contemporary. Even skeptics will be surprised by the creative touches planned for the classical ballet segments of the show, and a tap number with a live rhythm section will add to the show's variety. "There will definitely be something for everyone, primarily because we want to get everyone involved," USC Dance Company Arficfic nirprfnr ^iicon A n Hprenn said. Anderson will have auditions for spots in the fall concert this weekend, and all university students are welcome to participate. Membership in the company and a few dance scholarships will be awarded based on each student's performance of a short dance combination in either jazz, modern or classical ballet. Combinations will be demonstrated, taught and performed during auditions at 4:30 p.m. today and 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Even if you've been at USC for 'The Player' \l ideo w preview Staff Writer Critics hail Robert Altman (M*A*S*H, Nashville) as one of the greatest film directors of our time. He may well live up to that praise with the upcoming video release of his summer movie. The Player, a brilliant spoof on Hollywood's film business. This fine screenplay, based on the novel of the same name, illuminates the costs of our society's inability to distinguish illusion from reality. Tim Robbins plays the role of the heartless Hollywood producer named Mill, a play on Cecille B. Demille. Mill has trouble with his identity outside of his role as the successful producer.

Atlanta's The Black Crowes kicked off the performance segment of the ceremony with a harddriving rendition of "Remedy." The performing lineup also included En Vogue, Elton John, Pearl Jam and Nirvana, as well as Michael Jackson via satellite from London. MTV's highest honor, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, was announced before the show and went to bad-boy rock band Guns N' Roses, who earned two nominations for its sweeping "November Rain" video. exciting n three or four years and have never taken a univeristy dance class, some previous dance training may give you a place in the company. "I like to bring as many people together as possible for these concerts," Anderson said. "Last semester, we needed more men for our ballet, so I recruited three male divers from the USC diving team. Their experience in graceful movement, in spite of the fact that they were not trained dancers, made them ideal cast members." The fall concert will focus on student expertise from dancing and choreographing to lighting and producing. Several dance numbers will be created and taught by USC students, and costumes and sets will be student-designed as well. Anderson also plans to incorporate extra talent in the form of guest choreographer Darrell Cooper of New York. Cooper will set an original jazz piece especially for the dancers. The USC Dance Company, though comprised only of college students, has enjoyed a high level of professional experience over the past several years, and exciting plans for next year are already underway. Two other guest choreographers, Bala Sarasvati from the University of Georgia and Bill Pizutto of the Boston Ballet, will contribute to to come to by the producer of the week, Mill accidentally kills a writer he wrongly assumes is plotting his murder. Mill attempts to cover up the crime as he would change the story line of a film he produced. Mill believes life is like the movies, and he has the abilitv to rewrite a situation if he chooses. This inability to separate ourselves from the roles we play is a dangerous flaw and can destroy our lives and those involved with us. In the controlled environment of the studio, Mills calls the shots. Beyond the studio gates, his life is chaotic. Mills is in a relationship with a female executive, but in his outside world of murder and mayhem, Mills becomes obsessed with the murdered writer's girlfriend. Because he cannot distinguish between the two worlds and is alienated from his feelings, he leaves his girlfriend crushed and broken.
