The photos of plants in controlled environments, such as gardens and greenhouses, represent humans’ attempt to “control” nature. “Although the natural world has an elaborate system of order; humans have imposed anothe^system of order on the plants that often has very little to do with the original ways of their sub jects” she said. , One picture shows two stems of plants tied together in order to influence their direction and shape of growth. Another photo shows a group of plants in pots. Plants raised in pots still grow but in a microcosm of the envi ronment a wild plant would grow in. Next to the photos of people’s attempts to control plants are clothing designs by Vince Quevedo, a lecturer in clothing and design. He has pieces scat tered throughout the room/ One of his designs is a black jacket like piece with a colorful strip down the center of the chest/ He said the jacket was inspired by the problems and injustices going on in South Africa. The colors on the front represent how people will begin to break out of the surrounding “black doom*” he said.

Also returning to Omaha will be Chalie Livingston along with Jeff Curtis, her dance partner. Livingston is a former Omaha resident who now dances, teaches and tours nationally. The Moving Company - the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s modem dance performing group - will also perform at the concert with a trib ute to Isadora Duncan, the woman said to be the mother of modem dance. According to Bass, Duncan created modem dance as a way to break away from the constraints of ballet. “Modem dance is more emotion al,” she said. “Every piece for our show is done barefoot with loose costumes. Ballet has more structured costumes. It’s more constraining.” Bass said modem dance was sepa rate from other dance styles when it started, but these days, one can see the influence of other styles oh modem' dance. - “In our show, we have perfor mances that are influenced by ballet or jazz, some by swing, whicji is the pew thing, and one with a tango flair,’’ she said. Josie Metal-Corbin, director of UNO’s Moving Company, said she decided to use the older 1920s modem dance form because she wanted to honor the woman who changed dance. “I had a keen interest in honoring a pioneer of modem dance as we move from this century into the next century,” she said. The dances, titled “Waltzes” and “Scherzo,” were performed at the UN Omaha Art Gallery in September as part of the “Crossing the Threshold” exhibit. The event featured a national tour of work by women artists bom in or before 1928. New York choreographer Carol Mezzacappa flew to Nebraska for five days to help prepare the 36 dancers, ranging in age from 5 to 70 years old, who will be performing the Duncan pieces.

It is emotional art that will touch audience members one way or another.” For more information or ticket reservations, call the Omaha Modem Dance Collective at (402) 551-7473. 200$ rtrurt Blue’s Bike & Fitness ALL 1999 BIKES ON SALE!

The film is the fictional retelling of “The Brandon Teena Story,” which has received much attention since its release last year. For those who aren’t familiar, Brandon Teena (aka Teena Brandon) was a woman who chose to pass as a man. While staying in Falls City, two men found out Brandon was really a woman. “Boys Don’t Cry” depicts the events leading up to and follow ing Brandon’s rape and murder by John Lotter and Tom Nissen. The success of “Boys Don’t Cry” relies heavily on Hilary Swank’s portrayal of Brandon. Swank’s previous credits are mostly pop culture brain candy, including “Beverly Hills 90210” and “The Next Karate Kid.” Now it looks as though she has finally found a role to reveal her talent. Swank is incredibly convincing as a man and in the difficult emo tional scene. In order for viewers to respond in the end, it was important for them to identify with Brandon. Had it not been for Swank’s perfor mance, it is doubtful this would have been achieved, and the movie would have lost its highly emotion al quality. It was interesting to view the film in an audience consisting mostly of Nebraskans. The film has a few humorous parts, but it’s possi ble these were funny only to Nebraskans. In one instance, Brandon and Lana talk dreamily of escaping to Lincoln, as if it were a utopia. Later, the crew is seen “bumper skiing,” supposedly the prime weekend activity for Nebraskans. The Nebraska landscape wasn’t exactly accurate, either. Local resi dents won’t recognize any land marks since the film was shot in and around Dallas. However, Peirce at least chose a place that was flat, so a few of the scenes look like the Nebraska countryside. The best parts of the film were toward the end. The rape and inter rogation scenes were the crux of the movie, and it seems Peirce focused most of her talent on that portion of the film. The editing in that part was very well done, leading the viewer through a series of intercut scenes from the discovery of Brandon’s sex to the rape and interrogation. The rape scene is particularly brutal but necessarily so. Peirce did not attempt to water down any of the difficult^naterial. Everything gets shown, and because of that, audiences cannot avoid the disturb ing and incredibly sad nature of Brandon’s story. It is truly amazing that this film was shot with a low budget and in 30 days. From the skilled handling of the subject matter to the effort less editing, it is hard to tell this is Peirce’s first film. “Boys Don’t Cry” is an impor tant film to see, but be mentally pre pared before you see it. The film wasn’t meant to be taken lightly, and it shows. Even though Peirce took liber ties with the facts, the fictional ver sion drives home a definite under standing of Brandon’s position and a deep concern for the way society dealt with it. i I 1BR, new building, full kitchen, microwave, dishwasher, C/A, washer/dryer, off street parking, spacious. $460/month. 474-7140.
