ghOstMiSt

Monday, May 13 | 7-8 p.m.
Shattuck 163

Indonesian guest-artists Putu Tangkas Adi Hiranmayena and Dewa Ayu Eka Putri will present ghOstMiSt, a Balinese experimental music and dance duo that focuses on practices of reflexive improvisation toward phenomenological inquiries into confronting cultural contradictions. The project was born in 2020 out of frustrations with exoticist interactions and a desire to confront cultural contradictions through performance. ghOstMiSt promotes self-expression defined by negotiating cultural processes between local and global sensibilities.

This performance is free and open to all.

This fundraiser will be a “pop-up” thrift store, offering clothing, books, accessories, dorm decor, art, and more for students to buy at student-friendly prices. The goal of the event is first and foremost to share the beauty of Ukrainian culture and geography, raise awareness about Ukraine’s struggle in the Russia-Ukraine war, and allow students the opportunity to engage in a philanthropic effort for a present-day conflict.

Recent Advances in Biology Lecture Series: Dr. Amina Pollard ’95

Lakes in our landscape: perspectives from a large-scale sampling program 

Monday, May 6 | 3:10 p.m.
Warch Cinema

While there are many local and regional sampling efforts in lakes across the U.S., it is often difficult to compile this information into a cohesive framework to make national-scale conclusions. To address this gap, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency partners with States and Tribes to implement the National Lakes Assessment, which is a national-scale, coordinated lake sampling program. The resulting data include colocated biological, chemical, habitat, and human use measures that are available to the scientific community.

Dr. Amina Pollard, Lawrence class of 1995, will provide a brief overview of the project and discuss some of the ways the results have been used to better understand lakes.

The Show Is Over

Saturday, May 11 | 2:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
Stansbury Theatre

  • Director: Mauriah Donegan Kraker
  • Stage Manager: David Ciotti Hernandez


THE SHOW IS OVER is a devised work created in collaboration with student composers, musicians, actors, and dancers. Over the course of the evening, tap dance boards become set pieces, pop and punk sounds instigate obsessively danced phrases, real and virtual worlds collide. A murky manifesto for disorientating patterns of physicality and language.
