Pakri, an Estonian dancer, is mak
ing his American debut with the Colo
rado Ballet Company. He was a final
ist in the International Dancers Com
petition held in Helsinki, Finland earlier
this year. His dancing has prompted
some critics to compare him to the
legendary Mikhail Barishnikov.
However, this is a comparison Pakri
rejects.
“I honestly don ’ t know why people
say that. Barishnikov is a much better
dancer than I am. I hope my dancing
is improving, but right now he is the
better dancer,” Pakri said.
In Estonia, Pakri was a principal
dancer with the Estonia Theatre Bal
let. He said there were advantages
and disadvantages to dancing in the
United States.
of the partner,” Renzetti said.
Renzetti said each of the dancers
honored in the performance has made
a unique contribution to the dance
world.
“The dancers were are honoring
were very different,” Renzetti said.
“Martha Graham changed the way
dancers moved. Instead of having
dancers try to look weightless, she
used the ground as a basis for motion.
Alvin Ailey also changed the way
dancers moved. Fonteyn symbolized
English dance at its best, and Sammy
Davis Jr. made tap a legitimate art
form.”
“And the Dance Goes On” will be
performed Thursday, Friday, Satur
day and December 10 through 14 at 8
p.m. at the Howell Theatre. A “meet
the dancers” reception will be held
after the Friday performance.
Tickets for the performance are
$8, $6 for UNL students.

The important thing, he says, is that it
be done right.
“It’s a matter t>f money,” said
Boardman, who is making ends meet
by working in a record store in Min

Keeling realizes the competition
to land a recording deal is tough. But
he says his band is staying optimistic.
“What gives me hope is that I’ve
seen so many crappy bands up here
that are on labels — not that we’re
something fantastic,” he said. “But I
think were at least on the same level
as a lot of bands we’ve seen.
“I’ll give it few more years. If
we’re still at this stage, maybe I’ll

‘Citizen Kane’ to play
at Ross theater today
From Staff Reports
“Citizen Kane,” Orson Welles’
1941 film classic, will be shown
today at 1 p.m. at the Ross Film
Theater as the last installment in
the UNL Film Studies schedule.
The screening is free and open to
the public.
Since its release, the film has
wowed audiences with its unique
and experimental form.
June Levine, professor of
English, calls “Kane” “mind blow
• _ it
ing.
“It may well be the best Ameri
can film ever made,” she said.
The 16 mm print is owned by
the English department.
“Citizen Kane” follows the rise
and fall of Charles Foster Kane.
The title character, played by
Welles, is a thinly disguised ver
sion of newspaper tycoon Wil
liam Randolph Hearst.
Those who have yet to experi
ence the film on the big screen
are in for a treat, according to
Levine. Many critics contend that
the cinematic quality of “Kane”
still is unsurpassed.
Welles, who gained fame by
spooking America with his 1939
radio broadcast of “War of the
Worlds,” established himself as a
Hollywood maverick when he
wrote, directed and starred in
“Citizen Kane.”
Theater students to give
double feature of 1 -acts
By Mark Baldridge
Staff Reporter
This weekend Thcatrix offers a
double feature. “27 Wagons Full
of Cotton,” a play by Tennessee
Williams, and K. Scott Kolb’s
“Wailing on the Rocket” will be
performed in the Temple Build
ing’s Studio Theatre Dec. 6 and 7
at 7 p.m. and 8 at 2 p.m.
The two one-act performances,
titled “Broken Boughs,” are di
rected by Ph.D. candidate Layne
Ehlers.
“27 Wagons,” set in the Ameri
can South of the 1930s, stars local
actor Paul Pearson as Jake, a crooked
businessman and husband to Flora,
played by UNL theater major Missy
Wigley. UNL graduate student John
Lepard also stars as Silva Vicarro.
The themes arc violence and
betrayal, and viewers are warned
of adult situations.
“Waiting” is an original play by
a UNL student. The play centers
around the lives of teenage lovers
in Hollywood, Daria (Angie
Holdsworth) and Adrian (Patrick
Wilkins). The play focuses on drug
abuse, suicide and violence.
“Waiting” will be entered in the
American College Theatre Festi
val in the Original Short Plays
category.
The two plays within a single
production represent an explora
tion of the sources of violence.
Weaker persons are seen as prop
erty of the strong, easily replace
able — society’s “throw-aways,”
according to the director.
All tickets will be sold at the
door. Admission is S2. The Studio
Theatre is located on the third floor
of the Temple Building.

“The artistic communities in Esto
nia and America are almost the same,”
he explained. “But in Estonia audi
ences are generally more educated.
They go to ballet all the time. Here
the culture is more sports-oriented.
This is good and bad. In Estonia,
sometimes the audience is very cold,
but here the audience appreciates even
the effort put into a bad perform
ance.”
American audiences don’t get the
the opportunity see ballet as often as
audiences in Estonia, he said.
Renzetti was bom in New York
and has danced with the London
Festival Ballet in England, the Scap
ino Ballet of Amsterdam and the Ira
nian National Ballet.
Renzetti and Pakri have worked
together since last May.
“It took us about two weeks to get
used to each other. That’s a very short
time. It all depends on the experience
