Brazilian workout builds spirited bodies

UNM’s capoeira club, Capoeira Pegadas, sweeps, kicks and handstands its way into the hearts of newbies like Isaac Burleigh. After he saw a demonstration of the Brazilian fighting style in November, he wanted to try it for himself. “I was like ‘Wow this is a pretty extreme workout,’” he said.

The Department of Theatre and Dance is UNM’s best-kept secret. “Meta Morph,” this year’s faculty dance show, will provide a glimpse into what the dance program has to offer, said Donna Jewell, department head and artistic director. “There’s a lot of talent in the Department of Theatre and Dance,” Jewell said.

A brush with sensuality: an art show

David Koch said his art would be different if he had more money, but he finds a way to bring art into almost everything he does. Recycled tin foil balls are piled up about two inches high in two windows on each side of his studio door. “I put them there until they start to fall down and then I recycle them,” he said.

Cinematic genius in Japanese flick
