At the Wednesday, April 8th gathering of OFTA (Old Farts Talk Arts) Monmouth College Art Professor Stephanie Baugh gave a stimulating illustrated talk on the relationship between the visual arts and modern dance. Baugh is a painter, but also a dancer and choreographer and she put her knowledge of both fields to use in developing ideas that were quite new to the audience. Twenty-five people were in attendance.
Thomasina in Tom Stoppard's mind bending time warping play, ARCADIA, observes that when you stir raspberry jam into vanilla pudding it will first swirl in streaks but ultimately will turn the entire pudding pink. If you stir the pudding in the opposite direction, the jam will not separate back out again. --LIFE MOVES ONLY FORWARD--NEVER BACK!--
