Come in from the cold

Hello Beloiters!

With temperatures below zero, find your perfect place on campus to come in from the cold. We have a few suggestions!

Learn about performance, or step onstage yourself

Ferrall Artist-in-Residence Gabriel Bruno Eng Gonzalez ’20 is a choreographer who draws from dance, performance theory, and speculative fiction. Listen to Gonzalez deliver “Choreographing the Screen: A Toolkit for Post Internet Dance Making” at the Weissberg Auditorium on Friday or join the action by auditioning to be a part of the piece that Gonzalez will create this semester on campus. No dance experience is necessary to audition – just an interest in dance, media, digital performance, or trying something new. Come along, and bring a friend!

Hit the stands for a home game, or get in the gym yourself
Men’s and Women’s Basketball play in the Flood Arena on Tuesday. Come for the men at 5:30 p.m., or the women at 7:30 p.m., and cheer for your Buccaneer friends!

Rather do your own thing? The Powerhouse has fitness classes Monday to Thursday every week, and is open for you to work out on your own, too.
