Come from Away
Reflection by Gabrielle Chen ’18 Photograph by Taylor Chin ’18 Come From Away was a joyous, touching, time-warping, completely unexpected experience. Halfway through the show, 1.5 hours in total with no intermission, I found that I had forgotten who I was—that I was a Princeton student, that I wouldn’t get back to school until after… Continue reading Come from Away
Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium
Reflection by Gabrielle Chen ’18 Photograph by Gabrielle Chen ’18 I pitched this trip essentially on impulse—I’d never heard of Hélio Oiticica before, but interactive, large-scale installations have been on my mind lately and I thought To Organize Delirium might provide both insight and inspiration. The exhibition itself turned out to be wonderful, a sprawling,… Continue reading Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium
Cafe Müller and Tanztheater Wuppertal
Reflection by Ellie Maag ’19 Edwards Collective members Rachel Inman ’20, Pulkit Singh ‘20 and Ellie Maag ’19 at the Brooklyn Academy of Museum As someone who has not seen many dance performances, I was left speechless by Tanztheater Wuppertal’s “Cafe Müller” and “The Rite of Spring.” “Cafe Müller” was quiet and violent in a controlled fashion. The… Continue reading Cafe Müller and Tanztheater Wuppertal

Last Friday the Edwards Collective did a double Met day in New York! First we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where we visited the Age of Empires exhibit, featuring Chinese Art of the Qin and Han Dynasties, including some of the famous the Terracotta warriors. What’s great about going to exhibits or really… Continue reading Double Met Day
The Book of Mormon
Last Sunday the Edwards Collective went to see the Book of Mormon off Broadway. The plotline is hard to sum up but it’s about two young Mormons sent to proselytize in Uganda. It pokes fun but is still respectful – the general message of the play seemed to be to do what makes you happy.… Continue reading The Book of Mormon
PUP’s In the Heights
Last Thursday, several of us went as a group to see Princeton University Players’ production of In the Heights at Frist Theatre. When thinking of trips to propose for the Collective, my first instinct is to propose off-campus trips to see exhibits and shows that we otherwise would not have the opportunity to see.… Continue reading PUP’s In the Heights
Whitney museum trip
On the final weekend of Intersession, we were lucky enough to break out of the Orange Bubble and see the temporary exhibit DREAMLANDS: IMMERSIVE CINEMA AND ART, 1905–2016 at the Whitney Museum. We first stopped at the Chelsea Market for some delicious burgers and fried Oreos, and then we made our way to the exhibit,… Continue reading Whitney museum trip
Man of Good Hope at BAM
Last Saturday we went to Man of Good Hope at BAM, a musical about a Somali refugee traveling down east Africa to end up in South Africa and eventually America. You witness his life through four different characters played by the same man, through different stages of his life. What struck us was how much discrimination,… Continue reading Man of Good Hope at BAM
