An end to athleisure Over the past 100 years, apparel has gone from the epitome of discomfort (corsets, trousers, etc.) to … yoga pants. One of the biggest growing trends is athleisure. Athleisure is the grotesque combination of athletic and leisure apparel. While comfort is an important aspect in fashion, the recent domination of work-out clothing in our everyday lives begs the question: how far can we take this trend before the art of fashion is virtually obsolete? Athleisure is the very trend that brought the world joggers, sweatpants that taper out and scrunch at the bottom, and has made it acceptable to wear athletic sneakers with a nice blouse out in public. For whatever reason, these psuedosweatpants, which now come in fabrics like tweed and polyester, have been deemed appropriate to wear no matter where you go. Although this trend dictates that joggers can be worn in any environment, there are many places where joggers and even sweatpants should Linzy always be unacceptable. Work, for Bonner example, is one of those places. Rawr Where do we draw the line? How did we go from casual Fridays to yoga pants Mondays? At some point this trend is no longer driven by comfort, it’s driven by laziness. There is absolutely no reason why anyone should wear what are essentially glorified sweatpants to a job that is outside of their own home, and yet there are joggers that are advertised as business wear. Fashion is driven by the human desire for individuality. There is nothing new or unique about clothes you can work out in. While there may be some variation of design in athletic wear, at the end of the day it all looks very similar. There is very little room to add a personal touch to a hoodie and a pair of yoga pants. At some point we are all going to end up in identical tracksuits and hover chairs like the people in the movie “WALL-E.” We’re already killing the planet and eating too much junk food. This fashion trend is going to be the last straw. Laziness and individuality are not the only issue that the athleisure trend presents. This trend poses a great threat to the fashion industry as a whole. As the market for athleisure increases, the demand for other styles of clothing decreases. Ultimately, if the trend continues there could be a serious structure change in the industry. This could eventually lead to job loss and business closures. If you are reading this, please save yourself. You deserve more than a boring wardrobe and constantly having to be the person everyone goes to for workout advice.

Stage manager of the upcoming play 'Proof' chooses to do what she loves Nina Rydalch Rawr

Mathematical madness on stage David Auburn’s 'Proof' provides characters students can relate to Luis Torres Rawr A fascination of math and romance comes in full swing in the University of Idaho theatre department’s first play of the semester. David Auburn’s “Proof” — a 2001 Pulitzer Prize winner in Drama — focuses on a 25-year-old girl named Catherine who’s struggling to maintain good self-esteem as well as her relationship with her sister Claire. The mystery of the play involves an individual who wrote a mysterious notebook that’s been a part of the family for a year, leaving Catherine to wonder whether she has inherited her father’s mathematic knowledge, and whether it should be considered a blessing or madness. Director Robert Caisley, a recipient of a 2015 Fellowship in Performing and Media Arts in playwriting from the Idaho Commission on the Arts, said he’s been interested in working on “Proof” for several years and admires Auburn’s work.

Houshmand said the characters portrayed in “Proof” have a powerful message that the audience, especially students can relate to. “That search that we all have as students for work ethic but also trying to find that we’re not alone,” Houshmand said. “You need to trust your own abilities, have faith and grace for yourself ... But also knowing that people are there for you rather than doing it on your own.” The production also features Alex Wendel and understudies Emily Mosset and Mason Clark. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15-17 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 18 at the Hartung Theatre. Admission is free for students, $15 for adults, $10 for faculty, staff and seniors (55+), and $5 for children (12 and under). “I hope that everyone that comes to see this show takes away something that is meaningful for them,” Houshmand said. “Whether it be from Catherine or Hal, either one of the characters, I hope that they find some solace and also some questions.” Luis Torres can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu
Hannah Beehler was going to be a chemistry teacher. She planned to work in a lab and teach students how to understand the universe. Instead, the University of Idaho senior is teaching students how to understand themselves through the mystique of a play. Beehler, the stage manager of the upcoming performance, “Proof,” said she acted in her first show around the age of six and has loved the performing arts ever since. Beehler, a theater major with an emphasis in stage management, said she became heavily involved in theater during high school and by her senior year, she was president of the drama club. When preparing for college, she said that she did not initially consider getting a degree in theater. “I was under the impression that [by] getting a degree in a liberal art, I was going to be a poor, destitute kind of person and I was never going to be able to do it,” Beehler said. However, with the support of her family, she said she decided to pursue her passion for performing arts. Beehler said this pursuit did not come without its challenges, one of them being that despite her love of performing arts, she did not want to be an actor. “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life auditioning for a job and getting told no,” Beehler said. “That doesn’t sound fun.” Beehler said instead of pursuing acting, she chose to become a stage manager, the person who communicates between the actors and the director as well as works with lights and sounds. Beehler said she has always enjoyed being the person who puts a production together more than being someone upfront on the stage. She said choosing to study stage management has proven to be one of the best decision she could have made. In addition to pursuing a career as a stage manager, Beehler said she made the right decision by coming to UI. Beehler said she had heard good things about the university, and after coming on a tour and talking to the faculty, she said she knew she wanted to come here. After that trip, Beehler said she knew there was no other option and since then, the university has given her the opportunity to grow and blossom in her field. Beehler said within the first few weeks of college, she was involved in the 24-hour Theater Festival, and since then has been involved in two to three productions every semester. “I love teaching in general, so being a stage manager in an educational setting, I get to teach my ASMs [Assistant Stage Managers] because there’s not really a

stage management program here,” Beehler said. Kelly Arteaga, a UI freshman and theater major, is one of Beehler’s ASMs for “Proof.” Arteaga said Beehler is the go-between for most of the people in the play. “She knows what she’s doing,” Arteaga said. As one of Beehler’s last main-stage productions with the university, Beehler said that working on “Proof” has been a new experience for her. “I have really enjoyed working on this production because productions I have done in the past have been huge casts,” Beehler said. Beehler said a smaller cast has allowed her to focus on other aspects of stage management, such as technology and props. After graduating, Beehler said she would love to go with the theater department to Moscow, Russia, for a month-long intensive learning experience. She said many of the ways theater is taught at UI originally came from Russia, but the cultural experience alone would be incredible. Beehler said she will also seek an internship as a production assistant or assistant stage manager with a children’s theater in Western Washington. Beehler said the internship would make it possible for her to be involved in something she loves while working with children and being near her family. No matter what her future may hold, Beehler said she is looking forward to her career in the performing arts. Nina Rydalch can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

Travels and tunes
Local musician Eric E. can play a lot more than just a few cover songs Alex Brizee Rawr Though musician Eric Engerbreston was born in Boston, he calls Moscow home. Engerbreston, who goes by his stage name, Eric E., has lived in Moscow for most of his life, and said music has always been one of his greatest passions. “I’ve loved music and have been playing guitar most of my life,” Eric E. said. “I did my first professional gig in 1979.” Since his first show, Eric E. said he has played in every state except for New Mexico, as well as in 19 different countries. Eric E. said he also lived in Montreaux, Switzerland, for a few years after he played at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Montreaux. “I decided to stay there and hitchhiked around and I spent a couple of years performing on the street as a solo artist and (in) small coffee houses in Europe,” Eric E. said. “I was in Europe for most of six years.” After traveling through Europe and performing around the country, Eric E. said he ultimately decided to return to Moscow. In addition to playing shows all around the world, Eric E. said he has opened for more wellknown individuals, like Jay Leno and Styx. Although he has opened for many headliners, Eric E. said he does not care who he plays for as long as he is playing music. “If someone flies me to New York and I play at a college it makes no difference than if I play here for 20 people in a cafe,” Eric E. said. “I make no less or more effort, I don’t change my show at all.” One of the most notable elements of Eric E.’s local performances is his ability to play any music that is requested by the crowd. Eric E. said he likes to put an interesting spin on his shows by playing “pick a decade,” where he asks audience members to pick a decade and then he will play a song from that time period. “With Jay Leno I was in front of 6,000 people and they said, ‘You can’t do that pick a year thing in front of 6,000 people,’” Eric E. said. “I said, ‘Why not?” Eric E. said he told the crowd to “pick a year,” and 300 people raised their hands. He selected people by calling on “red hat” or “blue shirt,” and they would pick a year like 2001. “It worked great,” Eric E. said. “The crowd loved it, and Jay Leno loved it.” Matt Maw, catering coordinator of Patty’s Mexican Kitchen, recently invited Eric E. to play

said the artist is not only an engaging performer, but also a professional individual. “He just has a high level of professionalism and craft that he can bring to the table which is great for our restaurant,” Maw said. Alex Brizee can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

Bach is back Austin Maas Rawr For many, the thought of attending a classical music festival can be intimidating, but according to UI assistant professor Miranda Wilson, the Idaho Bach Festival is the perfect opportunity to get some stress-free culture. This year’s festival will be the fifth annual festival put on by the Lionel Hampton School of Music. Wilson, the co-director of the Idaho Bach Festival, said the festival has always brought together community members, university staff and UI students. Students will open the festival Thursday with a free concert at 12:30 p.m. in the Idaho Commons. “It’s a great opportunity to eat your lunch and listen to some great music at the same time,” Wilson said.

Once upon a dream Friday fiction
Bradley Burgess Rawr
Have you ever had a dream that was so wonderful you wished it was real? Every single dream I have is like that. I went to sleep two months ago, a night like any other. Then, I was in a bedroom. The walls were white, the bed was large and inviting and she was there. She was beautiful, brownhaired and green-eyed and her smile was gorgeous. “Hi,” she cooed. “I’m Jess. What’s your name?” “I’m Matt,” I told her. I knew fullwell that this was a dream. I figured I might as well enjoy it. “It’s nice to meet you, Matt,” Jess said. She sat down on the bed, extending her body over the sheets. “Want to talk?” We spent the rest of the night introducing ourselves, telling each other all the basic stuff. Normally, the girls I talk to bluff their way through my stories, but Jess really listened. She was truly interested in me, laughing at jokes I made. We really connected. So much so, that when I woke up, I was disappointed. Knowing that I’d never see her again was crushing. But the night after that, she was there again, happy to see me. And the night after that, and the night after that. I kept dreaming of her, talking to her and eventually, kissing her. It didn’t take long. We were sharing a dream, so everything turned out perfect with her. Every night, we became closer. I started to think of her as my girlfriend. I’d ignore girls in the real world, thinking only of Jess. Kissing her in the dream felt 100 percent real. Even if there was something in the back of my head telling me that she wasn’t real, I didn’t care. I looked forward to going to sleep. One night, when I saw her, she seemed different. Driven and focused, but on what? She raced towards me and kissed me for a long time. Normally, Jess would talk first. The fact that she didn’t this time made me worry. She parted from me and we locked eyes. “I’ve loved these last two months, Matt,” she began. “But I’m so looking forward to the next part. I’ll be waiting

for you when you wake up. I love you.” And then I woke up. It was strange, not seeing her the next few nights. I thought so much about what she said, thinking that would be the last time I would ever hear from her. I knew all good things had to come to an end, but this one was just too good.
And then, a few days after the last night, I was walking down the street. I noticed a moving truck next to an apartment. I barely paid any attention to it, until I saw someone coming out of the apartment. It was her. I stood frozen, staring at her. Then she saw me. She smiled before racing towards me, scooping me up in a
massive hug. “I missed you, baby,” she said into my ear. I could only think to say one thing. “Is this real?” Jess smiled as she pinched me. When I didn’t wake up, I kissed her for real. Bradley Burgess can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu
