1. Franklin College and the UGA Department of Dance present RE:flexion, the 2009 Senior Exit
Concert, Wednesday-Friday, November 11th-13th at 8:00 p.m. The Concert will be held at the
New Dance Theater in the Dance Building on Sanford Drive, and tickets can be purchased at the
Tate Student Center Ticket Counter, 706-542-8579, M-F, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with cash,
personal check, Bulldog Bucks, or major credit card or at the door beginning at 7:00 p.m. before
each performance. Note that credit cards are not accepted at the door. General admission ticket
prices are $8 for students/seniors and $12 for adults. Because Saturday, November 14, is a home
football game, Friday night audience members are asked not to park in the South Deck parking
garage but in the lots surrounding the Dance Building.
RE:flexion will premier nine seniors' choreographic works that have been prepared throughout the
fall semester. The evening's dance concert fulfills their final choreographic requirement for the AB
or BFA degrees in Dance. Each piece reveals unique individuality that will surely appeal to a wide
audience. BFA candidates Lacey Pinson, Jenna Williams, and Laura Burgamy exemplify this
variation. Respectively they will present a movement-based piece that draws from family ancestry
and current life influences, a multimedia work involving film, music and sounds from nature that
is inspired by the connection of the water cycle to life processes, and a work that involves serious
and whimsical notions about deforestation. A piece by Katie Romine, AB candidate, explores
breaking and building walls that impede personal relationships.

5. ICE-Vision: Made in U.S.A. (Jean-Luc Godard, 1966)
Thursday, November 12 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"This fractured film essay by Jean-Luc Godard bursts with bright colors, comic-book characters,
and seemingly random violence. As a detective investigating the murder of her lover, Anna Karina
is a cartoonishly exaggerated version of Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep, and there are
numerous verbal references to other films. Yet Godard abandons narrative coherence to question
cinematic conventions and even language itself, offering isolated moments of visual pleasure and
characters who seem to be talking to the camera as much as each other. References to
communism and to advertising as a form of fascism contribute to the film's attack on conventional
ways of creating meaning and the bourgeois complacency fostered by mass entertainment. 81
min." -Chicago Reader
