Per ormers challenge gender norms in dance
Caydee Ensey
Contributing Writer
The Multicultural Center is
partnering with local dancers
in the first production of
Gender Equity Through Dance,
using physicality to make its
point.
The inaugural event at 5
p.m. tonight in the Silver Eagle
Suite consists of two dances
that focus on, eliminating
gender-related violence and
pre-conceived ideas of gender
roles. Both performances are
free and open to the public, and
are a collaboration betweerithe
Multicultural Center, the
Women's Studies program and
Feminist Majority Leadership
Alliance.
Educational psychology
professor Prathiba Natesan
is the first act of the night.
She is also an award-winning
performer of the Kalakshetra
style of Indian dance.
"Expressing yourself with
its choreography is "rough,
tumble- v and unruly, breaking
the traditional gender barriers
in dance."
She said that in ballet, it's
typical to see ffieh lifting
women.

Members of Big Rig Collective will be performing at the Multicultural Center's Gender Equity Through Dance. Sloan said
that the dance that will be performed at the event "can be applied to perceptions of relationships and gender roles."
your body is one of the most
vulnerable things you can do,"
Natesan said. "We hope that
when they see us in the barest
of the bare states, that will
encourage them to talk about
solutions to these issues."
The local modern dance
group, Big Rig Collective, will
perform an original piece
called "Grit."
Co-director Lily Sloan said
"But in Big Rig, each person
is using their own sense of
momentum and weight and
counterbalance," Sloan said.
"They are basic laws of physics
and anyone can lift anyone. I
think that can be applied to
perceptions of relationships
and gender roles."
A preview for this event was
held on Valentine's Day, where
about 30 student dancers gath-
ered outside Willis Library for
a flash mob.
The event honored One
Billion Rising, a worldwide
movement that aims to end
cycles of Oppression and
violence against women.
"These events are meant
to use dance as a form of
speaking out for social justice
issues," said Uyen Tran-
Parsons, director of multicul-
tural programming with the
Multicultural Center. "We want
to focus on what you as an
individual can do to speak out
when you see these injustices
being committed."
Clark Pomerleau, a history
professor and a training facil-
itator with the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender
support group Ally, will be
moderating conversations
following each performance.
He said he believes that
UNT is accepting of most
gender preferences; and hopes
to spark further conversation
by using the arts for activism.
"We have so much tolerance
for bad behavior when it comes
to gexider-specific violence and
micro-aggression/* Pomerleau
said. "These problems are
coming from everyone and
effecting everyone."
Smaller music estival highlights local talent
Will Darnell
Staff Writer
This weekend the Denton
Convention and Visitors Bureau
is "turning the stereo on in the
living room of Denton."
Denton Radio on the Square
is a free four-day live music
festival featuring -11 local
musical acts. The event is
presented by DentonRadio.
com and will take place
Thursday through Sunday
on the Square, dubbed the
"living room of Denton" by
the Denton Convention and
Visitor's Bureau.
The festival will run concur-
rently with 35 Denton, the
established national music
festival that consumes many
venues on and just east of the
Square, leading some guests to
incorrectly assume that the two
are in competition, said Jake
Laughlin, CEO of Dentonradio.
Com.
"I think the biggest confu-
sion about this festival is that
it's, either against or without
the blessing of 35 Denton, when
this was actually their idea,"
Laughlin said.
Laughlin met with 35
Denton organizers after they
had finalized their lineup, and
fully supported Denton Radio's
efforts to create an all-local set
list, he Said.
Bone Doggie, vice president
and cofounder of Dentonradio.
com, assembled the array of
talent that will be showcased
on the Square, All 41 acts span
genres from country to jazz:
to dance.
Bone Doggie's own band,
Bone Doggie and the Hickory
Street Hellraisers, will be
playing their brand of Delta
Blues on Saturday night.
Finding talented acts in
Denton was easy, as every year
new artists migrate to the area
from all over Texas and the
U.S., with many finding their
way to his open mic nights,
Bone Doggie said.

five-piece band plays a complex
variety of musical stylos, all
the way from zydeco to Latin-
infused rhythms to the blues.
The band formed in 1979,
and in the three decades since,
their music has appeared in
movies, television shows and
sporting events.
Laughlin described Brave
Combo agreeing to play the
festival as a "coup" and Bone
Doggie said they are "the
pinnacle of music in Denton."

seeing them again," Jimenez
said.
