Pro Tip of the Week

Fonts

Typography (another word for fonts) is used to identify and distinguish an organization. Used consistently in all university communications, typography assures that Lawrence is easily and quickly recognized.

University-approved Typefaces

University-approved typefaces must be used for all other university communications. A primary and a secondary serif typeface and a primary and secondary sans serif typeface are available for use by staff and faculty in printed university communications materials.

Serif typefaces have small lines/tails attached to them.
Sans serif typefaces do not.

You can see the difference in common typefaces like Times New Roman (serif) and Arial (sans serif).

Spoerl Lecture Series

Five Bay Landscapes: Curious Explorations of the Great Lakes Basin

Thursday, Jan. 11 | 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Steitz Hall 102

Karen Lutsky and Sean Burkholder will present excerpts and insights from their recently published book, Five Bay Landscapes: Curious Explorations of the Great Lakes Basin.

Both landscape architecture professors who have been working and studying the shorelines for many years, the book shares their practice of exploring and “meeting” five different bays within the basin as richly layered and complex places. Through a mix of theory, history, experiential documentation, and representational methods, the book shares their explorations of each bay; and argues for pluralistic and transcalar methods of knowledge creation in order to better design with these critical, dynamic places.

SET GO is a Contact Improvisation Research and Performance ensemble founded in 2016 by dancers Shura Baryshnikov, Aaron Brando, Paul Singh, Bradley Teal Ellis, and Sarah Konner. Though all are interdisciplinary artists, each identifies Contact Improvisation as a primary practice and are lead researchers and educators in the field, both nationally and internationally. Collectively, setGO has been practicing the form of Contact Improvisation for over 60 years.

The setGO ensemble shares a love for whimsical, whole-hearted, virtuosic improvisation; they have been dance-making together since 2009. The group has performed at the Moving Arts Lab (Earthdance, MA), the RISD Museum Open Rehearsals, for the Institute for the Study of Environment and the Society at Brown University, Providence Fringe Festival, and the Everybody Moves Festival at the School for Contemporary Dance and Thought in Northampton, MA. They have developed pedagogy together as part of the CI Ground Research laboratory project since 2010.

In addition to directing their own companies, setGO artists have danced with other choreographers and companies including Amy Chavasse, Heidi Henderson, Chris Aiken, Faye Driscoll, Douglas Dunn, Gabriel Forestieri, and Headlong Dance Theater, and are currently on faculty, as well as artist-residents at universities across the United States. Members of the ensemble teach at acclaimed dance festivals nationally and internationally and offer regular classes in their local areas.
