Museum Features Indian Dance

The Bauls of India will appear at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Friday November 1, 2002 at 7:30 PM.
“Bauls are seekers of divine love who pursue the holy presence through an eight-centuries-old tradition of ecstatic singing and dancing,” read a press release heralding the event.
It continued: “Bauls sidestep religious orthodoxy and conventional society. They stroll, prance, turn and dance while singing deceptively simple songs about the wisdom and compassion of ancient Hindu and Sufi saints.”
Tickets are available $23 and $27 at www.ClevelandArt.org, or by calling 1-888-CMA-0033.

OC to Host Climate Workshops

On November 5th and 6th, Ross Gelbspan, former special projects editor of the Boston Globe, will lead workshops at Oberlin on climate change and the media. The workshops each begin at 4:30 pm in King 123. Gelbspan will also deliver a lecture, entitled “The Global Economy Meets the Global Climate.” That lecture will be held in the Craig Lecture Hall on November 5 at 7 pm.
At the Boston Globe, Gelbspan was responsible for a series of articles that won a Pulitzer Prize. He has appeared on “Nightline,” “All Things Considered,” and “Talk of the Nation,” and been published in magazines including The Nation and Sierra Magazine. At Oberlin, he will present his strategies for accelerating the ratification process of the Kyoto environmental treaty, and talk about his experiences in investigative reporting.
