If you think dance concerts are
nothing but pink tutus, white tights
and sleepy music, then the USC
Dance Company has news for you!
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.

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.

Award, was announced before the

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

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.
