A second nurse tested positive for the Ebola virus early Wednesday morning, according to an article by The Dallas Morning News. The nurse has been identified as 29-year-old Amber Joy Vinson. Vinson took care of Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who was the first person diagnosed with the virus in the U.S. She follows health care worker Nina Pham’s
diagnosis Sunday. “Like Nina Pham, this is a heroic person – a person who has dedicated her life to helping others,” said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins at a press conference Wednesday morning. Vinson resides close to SMU’s main campus at The Village Bend East Apartments in the 6000 block of Village Bend Drive. According to The Dallas Morning News, Vinson was put into isolation within 90 minutes of reporting she had a fever.

Texas BELTON — A Central Texas school district has temporarily closed three of its campuses after a family of four, including two students from the district, traveled on the same flight as a nurse who has since been diagnosed with Ebola. DALLAS — Frontier Airlines is expanding the circle of passengers being notified that they flew with a nurse who later tested positive for Ebola, or flew on a later flight using the same plane.

Junior Savannah Louie kept the General, her kitten, hidden in her residence hall during her first-year.
On-campus residents hide critters behind closed doors Ashley Almquist Contributing Writer aaalmquist@smu.edu SMU junior Savannah Louie raced the clock–stuffing catnip in her closet and sliding a litter box under her bed-–during a round of surprise room checks in Moore Hall during the spring of her freshman year. After hearing from a friend that her RA was making rounds, she knew she had to move quickly to keep her new kitten, The General, a secret. “I cleaned up and hid every cat-related item in the room,” said Louie. “Our RA came in right as we had finished hiding all of the stuff, and she didn’t suspect a thing.” Louie isn’t the only on-
campus resident to hide a pet in her dorm room. There was a bunny in Boaz, a hamster in McElvaney and a Maltese puppy in Shuttles in recent years. How many critters have called the SMU residence halls their home? Who knows? According to the SMU Residence Life Community Standards, SMU’s pet policy allows each student living in the dorms to have one fish in a tank of no more than 10 gallons. Kittens, rodents, puppies, reptiles, birds or any other animal are not permitted. The Residence Life and Student Housing office offers a number of reasons why they limit pets in student housing, including space, health and
sanitation concerns. “You can imagine all the issues that could arise if there were 100 pets in one building where 260 students live,” said Jennifer Post, the director of residential life at SMU. SMU sophomore Jack Ruh found that out the hard way after a heat lamp from his pet Iguana’s cage started a fire in Boaz last year. “I turned on the iguana’s heat lamp, left for class and got a text 20 minutes later that my room was on fire and the fire department was there,” said Ruh. Luckily, the iguana made it out alive. Most college campuses around

Music and mission partner SMU professor and Carter High School mAllory paul Contributing Writer mmpaul@smu.edu When Virginia Dupuy’s husband asked her what she wanted for her birthday she didn’t request jewelry, flowers or a new handbag. Instead the SMU Meadows music professor asked for uniforms for the Carter High School choir. Four and a half years ago, Professor Dupuy saw a need in her community and decided to personally get involved. She created a partnership between SMU and David W. Carter High School. Dupuy wanted to ensure that all of Carter’s musically talented but economically disadvantaged choir students were ready for college auditions.

Her gift of uniforms was just one more way to help students at the low income school in Oak Cliff. Dupuy believes the arts especially rise above economic limitations. “The pecking order is not money or prestige or social
status,” Dupuy said. “It has to do with talent.” Dupuy has been working closely with Demetrius Ethley, the charismatic Carter choir director

Obama sees need for Ebola point person associated press Under pressure to select an Ebola “czar” to lead the U.S. response against the disease, President Barack Obama conceded Thursday it “may be appropriate for me to appoint an additional person” to head the administration effort. Obama also said he is “not philosophically opposed” to a travel ban from the Ebolaafflicted region of West Africa “if that is the thing that is going to keep the American people safe.” But he said experts tell him a ban would be less effective than measures currently in place. He said his team of Ebola advisers is doing “an outstanding job.” But he said several of them, including Centers for Disease Control director Thomas Frieden and Lisa Monaco, his top counterterrorism adviser, are also dealing with other priorities. He noted that Frieden is also dealing with flu season and Monac, with the Islamic State extremists in the Middle East.
“It may make sense for us to have one person ... just so that after this initial surge of activity we can have a more regular process,” he said. Calls for Obama to institute a temporary travel ban grew Thursday, mainly from Republicans who said the growing outbreak in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia are creating a greater traveling threat. But Obama said a ban could increase the instance of travelers avoiding detection. “They are less likely to get screened and we may have more cases of Ebola rather than less,” he said. Obama spoke at the end of a meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Thomas Frieden and top White House officials. Obama on Thursday also authorized the Pentagon to call up reserve and National Guard troops if they are needed to assist in the U.S. response to the

the U.S. have similar rules when it comes to pets in the dorms. Some colleges are more lenient. Duke University and MIT for instance, allow on-campus residents to have cats in feline-friendly dorms. The University of Florida allows small caged animals such as reptiles and rodents. SMU does have an exception to its pet policy. The Residence Life Community Standards state that any students with disabilities or proper documentation are allowed to have pets living with them in their residence halls. But some students who do not fall into this category can’t help themselves when the opportunity to get a pet presents itself. For Louie, the purchase of a pet was spontaneous. She said that
she found an ad on Craigslist for free kittens and drove more than an hour to see the litter. Once she arrived, she knew she had to have The General. SMU junior Emily Heft became a hero for one lucky mouse at Petsmart during her freshman year because she wanted to save its life. “A worker basically said, ‘Hey do you want this mouse, or we will feed it to our snake,’ so I took it,” said Heft. Soon she found herself smuggling not only the mouse, but its cage, food and toys up to her room in Moore Hall. Although having a pet in college can come with more responsibility, a study from 2008 by Ohio State University shows that college pet owners are less likely to feel lonely and depressed. College students are typically stressed during this time and an animal companion can help them through these difficult times.
The Residence Life and Student Housing Office believes, however, that a dorm room is not large enough for a pet. Students living in the dorms may also have pet allergies and could not live comfortably with animals in or near their rooms. The office worries about students not properly caring for animals with fleas and ticks as well. Improper care could potentially lead to the spread of these bugs throughout the residence hall. Although the office does not allow students to have pets, not all hope is lost for the animal lovers living in the dorms. Post explained a new pet policy for the Faculty in Residence program. “We learned that faculty who had pets didn’t want to give them up in order to live on-campus,” she said. “Faculty who didn’t have pets at the time of their interviews with us said they would seriously

Mustang InterSECTIONS gives break from ordinary Adesuwa Guobadia Contributing Writer aguobadia@smu.edu Over Fall Break the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs and the Community Engagement & Leadership Center, led by Creston Lynch and Stephanie Howeth, took a group of students to Lone Oak Retreat Center for Mustang InterSECTIONS. The retreat consisted of activities designed to help students understand each other's backgrounds and how they shape our lives and interactions with others. Students started off the trip by discussing what they felt their most important identities were and by the end of InterSECTIONS were working together to optimize their leadership skills for a diverse environment. According to Community Engagement and Leadership Director Stephanie Howeth InterSECTIONS was started two years ago with the purpose of engaging "students in tough conversations about human diversity and social justice as it relates to personal leadership. It’s so important for students to think about their own identity

to enhance the school’s program. When Ethley was hired, the choir program was newly reestablished after a four-year absence. He knew the job would not be without its challenges. “I believe this is a call and my energy and passion gets refueled by that call,” Ethley said. About 85 percent of the students who attend Carter High School are economically disadvantaged. The school was categorized as “improvement required” by the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) 2014 Accountability Summary. That means Carter needs to improve its student performance and postsecondary readiness. The school earned no distinction designations in any single subject area. In addition, Carter ranked in the bottom 12 percent of all other high schools in the state, according to SchoolDigger.com. The TEA also reported, however, that approximately 100 percent of the students graduate. The high school students are determined and hardworking. They just simply do not have access to the funding, programs and private lessons their suburban counterparts do, according to Ethley. He knew he would need help and Dupuy was happy to lend her expertise. “I call Virginia Dupuy our angel here at Carter,” he said. Dupuy is known as an exceptional recital and concert singer.
consider owning a pet so students could visit their apartments and enjoy them.” The Faculty in Residence Program was designed to help students get to know the faculty outside of the classroom. Professors live in residence halls and serve as intellectual leaders in the dorms. According to an article by The Daily Campus, there are five FiR’s who keep pets with them in the residence halls. A communication studies professor who participates in the program, Rita Kirk, currently lives in the Armstrong residence hall with her Bichon Frise. The dog enjoys his new neighbors. “He loves people so he is delighted when someone calls his name,” said Kirk. “He gets more walks, more pats on the head, and since he loves to dress up, he gets more attention.”

and how that impacts their interactions with others, as well as to face tough realities about ourselves and the world in which we live, in order to progress toward being more culturally competent leaders at SMU and beyond." It was clear by then end of the retreat that participants did walk away with a sense of accomplishment due to
the emphasis trip leaders placed on introspection and authentic discussion. For first-year Char Jackson the InterSECTIONS impact can best be seen in her communication skills.

She is also one of the leading scholars on transforming Emily Dickinson’s poetry into music. Dupuy has seen the arts provide a sense of community that can combat bullying and support those students with personal challenges and economic disadvantages. Carter students attest to that strong community. “The fun part about choir, I would just have to say, would be building a family,” said Taya Haynes, a junior. “We share secrets, we watch each other go through hard times, good times, bad times. We discover our strengths and our weaknesses.” The Carter choir has 121 members, from first-years to seniors. Recently the choir has had several members make it to the All District and All State Choir. More and more students are not only attending universities, but they are also receiving scholarships, according to Ethley and Dupuy. The heart Dupuy and Ethley bring is not only evident in the students’ musical successes. Their spirit inspires the infectiously encouraging and optimistic attitudes of students. “This choir has brought me from zero to sixty in two years,” said Ke’Yon Singleton, varsity choir member. “I’ve learned so much with Mr. Ethley.” Dupuy began working with Carter by tutoring singers on Friday afternoons who were auditioning for the All District Choir. Dupuy said in her first year working with Carter, a formerly homeless student was able to make the All State Choir and later received a full ride scholarship to East Texas
Baptist University. Dupuy is also responsible for gaining the help of the Fine Arts Chamber Players (FACP). FACP is a non-profit organization that provides free classical music concerts and educational programs for North Texas. The Carter choir is funded primarily through FACP’s grants and grants from local businesses. Because of FACP’s educational outreach programs, many SMU graduate students are contributing to the choir by providing free vocal and piano lessons to Carter students. Dupuy is still currently developing a more formal relationship between the high school and SMU, but she believes with more help and funding it could truly flourish. Dupuy would like to see the relationship grow from supporting the choir, to supporting other programs as well. Rogene Russell, the FACP founder and current Artistic Director, works closely with Dupuy. She believes the combination of Dupuy and Ethley is the reason the program has seen success. Russell also believes in the importance of music in teenage development. “Being a musician requires self-motivation, confidence, persistence, attention to detail and personal responsibility,” Russell said. Russell, Dupuy and Ethley hope music can be the vehicle of change for Carter High School. “There is no point in educating them in something that doesn’t impact their lives,” Ethley said. The Carter choir will preform on Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Carter auditorium.

The university ensured that it is continuing the closely monitor information about the cases and
that there is no connection to SMU with these cases.

Separately, Obama placed phone calls to House Speaker John Boehner, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to discuss the administration’s response to the disease. He also called Ohio Gov. John Kasich to discuss steps the
administration took after a Dallas nurse traveled to the state over the weekend before being diagnosed with Ebola, a Kasich spokesman said. The nurse was one of two health care workers who became ill after treating a Liberian man with Ebola at a Dallas hospital. Obama canceled a Thursday campaign trip to stay at the White House and focus on Ebola. It’s the second day in a row he nixed a planned trip because of the outbreak.

A man diagnosed with Internet addiction disorder developed symptoms from overusing Google Glass.
Patient diagnosed with Internet addiction disorder shows problems with technology Scientists recently claimed they have diagnosed their first ever patient with Internet addiction disorder. The patient, a 31-year-old U.S. Navy serviceman had been using technology, specifically Google Glass, for around 18 hours a day. He felt irritable and argumentative without the device. He also experienced dreams through the viewpoint of the Google Glass frame. The patient had originally checked into treatment for alcoholism. While he was in treatment for 35 days, all addictive behaviors were restricted; he was forced to abstain from alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and all electronics. Doctors noticed during treatment that the patient repeatedly did movements mimicking motions used to switch on the “heads-up” display on Google Glass. He also suffered from involuntary movements, cravings and memory problems in addition to his other symptoms. The patient claimed that he was going through alcohol and Google Glass withdrawal, and said the “Google Glass withdrawal was greater than the alcohol withdrawal” he was experiencing. The symptoms and erratic behavior the patient was experiencing led doctors to formally diagnose him with Internet addiction disorder.

To most people, that sounds foolish. Most people would say he needs a hobby, he just needs to not use Google Glass or that he’s substituting alcohol for some piece of technology. But the fact of the matter is an addiction is an addiction, and the addiction to technology – especially the Internet, is a significant problem in today’s society that will come bearing tremendous side effects in the future. Dr. Andrew Doan, head of addictions and resilience research at the U.S. Navy’s Substance Abuse and Recovery Programme (SARP), says that eventually people will realize Internet addiction disorder is a real problem, and that more studies will be conducted to prove that it’s something that needs to be fixed. “People used to believe alcoholism wasn’t a problem – they blamed the person or the people around them,” Doan said. “It’s just going to take a while for us to realize that this is real.” The fact that Internet addiction is becoming a rising
problem for our generation is scary. Young adults spend more than 7.5 hours a day using technology; this includes using the Internet, watching TV, listening to music, playing video games and of course, social networking. Sensational products made by Apple and Google have only encouraged this behavior as it becomes easier and easier to integrate this technology into our daily routine. Google has literally made technology wearable with Google Glass and so has Apple with the iWatch. So what’s the harm? The counter argument to this is that with such advancements in technology today, we should be taking advantage of it for our benefit. But if we overuse technology, not only are we expediting Internet addiction disorder and carpal tunnel syndrome, we will soon become mindnumbed individuals that can only be stimulated by a bright screen displaying emojis and abbreviated words. To avoid Internet addiction disorder and other technological disorders alike, it’s best to practice preventative behavior. Thus, I implore you, please put down your electronics every once in a while and experience life without a screen.

To frack or not to frack
As a whole, Americans applaud the capitalist ideal unquestionably. It provides a framework for success; work hard, dream big, and you will be rewarded in the American way: money. This ‘American Dream,’ as it is often euphemized, gives the struggling and the impoverished hope for a better life. Despite the comfort this notion provides, humans depend on their environment, and this dependency can be exploited by the profiteering behavior of corporations. Economically, negative externalities are costs that are not incurred by the firm causing them. Such an example in the United States is hydraulic fracturing, or commonly called fracking. The acquisition and use of natural gas has been heavily lobbied for throughout Congress, largely because the result of fracking is a fossil fuel. The corporations lobbying for the expansion of hydraulic fracturing do so largely based on the prediction that it can supply our nation’s energy needs for the next 110 years. This is certainly a tempting solution, but is it what our nation, our world, needs? Fossil fuels are popular among established corporations because they feed the current energy paradigm we depend on. The same companies profiting from typical oil will also profit heavily from fracking, but in doing so they tend to ignore the realities of climate change. To acquire natural gas from shale bed sources beneath the surface too challenging to mine, a mixture of water, ceramic, sand and various carcinogenic chemicals is used to push the gas to a recoverable location. The process has been a source of popular debate the last five years because of the environmental destruction it causes.
guest column
brendan mcglone Contributing Writer bmcglone@smu.edu
The mixture that forces gas to the surface has a harmful tendency to stay below the earth’s surface and accumulate into a dangerous source. Where fracking is most popular: Ohio, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia, there are rampant concerns of water contamination, and recently, fracking has been linked as a cause of earthquakes. Fracking indeed produces natural gas that creates jobs, burns cleaner than coal, and could hypothetically power our nation for much longer than previously thought fossil fuels were capable. However, it does not address the damages that the public and the environment are forced to incur once fracking shale begins. Fracking has been criticized for not adequately quelling the various damages it causes, and economic rights tend to get blurred when there are billions of dollars lobbying for special interests. As Americans, if we choose to pursue the viability of hydraulic fracturing, we must reconsider the capitalist notion to better address how corporations must incur the costs of their negative externalities. Otherwise, our human rights will continue to be neglected in favor of lobbyist money.

Kenmore West junior guard Aaron Tucker lied about SMU offering him a basketball scholarship.
High school basketball player fakes commitment to SMU Almost two months ago, Kenmore West junior guard Aaron Tucker tweeted that he had contact with several universities including SMU. Over the course of the next several weeks, Tucker was in close communication with PonyStampede.com reporters and gave them tiny updates on his recruitment. Last week, Tucker informed them that SMU had offered him a scholarship. Then on Saturday, he said he was committing to SMU. Funny thing though – no one in the SMU basketball program had ever heard of him. Tucker’s story was very believable and the reporters had no real reason to believe he was lying. For one, there is no way to get away with this kind of lie. Secondly, he never sought out the attention or media exposure – he let it come to him and that made him seem more genuine. There was never going to be a good outcome for the kid, and I can’t think of a reason why he decided to lie. He later apologized to all the writers he had misled, but the reason behind his lie didn’t really make sense. “I’m want to apologize for my actions about lying about my SMU recruitment,” Tucker said via Twitter. “I did it out of jealousy but still wasn’t right I just gotta work.” Now, the story here isn’t how a high school kid duped a bunch of reporters, but that he lied about Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer Street, Suite 314, Dallas, TX 75275 The Daily Campus is published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the academic semester.

coming to SMU. I can only think that he believed he could somehow get enough attention and trick SMU into offering him. So now we have kids lying about coming to SMU, which isn’t completely a terrible thing. I’m not sure we’d have guys lying about coming here – actually I’m not sure we’ve ever had anyone lie about that. Reporters have to be more cautious now that we know kids might do this, but from the university’s standpoint, it has to feel kind of good knowing that your basketball program has reached the point where kids want to be a part of it so bad they lie about it. Let’s be clear, lying is awful and no one should ever root for or celebrate anything that is awful, no matter what it means in the grand scheme of things. Still, it makes me feel pretty good about that magical place we call Moody and those dudes who ball inside it.

SMU football looks for first win of season against Cincinnati Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu Mustang football returns to action after a bye week when the University of Cincinnati (2-3, 0-1 American Athletic Conference) comes to Ford Stadium on Saturday. The game is the first conference home game of the season for SMU (0-5, 0-1 AAC). Following a grueling nonconference schedule, the Mustangs opened conference play on the road against with a 45-24 loss to top-25 opponent East Carolina. SMU’s offense broke out of its season-long funk with 390 yards and three touchdowns behind a solid game from quarterback Garrett Krstich. The improvement has SMU Interim Head Coach Tom Mason optimistic, and a win against the Bearcats could turn SMU’s season around. “If we can get a win here, this could launch us through the rest of the season,” Mason said. “You’ve got them at home, everything’s set for you, now we just have to go out and play.” SMU is still searching for its first win, but Cincinnati has also scuffled lately. The Bearcats have

lost three straight games after winning their first two. But their high-powered offense will test the Mustangs. Led by quarterback Gunner Kiel, Cincinnati averages 333.8 passing yards per game, which ranks 11th in the nation. Cincinnati’s top two wide receivers, Chris Moore and Mekale
McKay, average a combined 21.6 yards per catch and have each caught five touchdowns. Kiel was one of the Class of 2012’s top quarterback recruits, and he originally signed with Notre Dame. He transferred to Cincinnati after the 2012 season, but did not play his first college game until this season. In just five
games, he has thrown for 1,612 yards and 18 touchdowns. “He reminds me of Garrett Gilbert a bit last year,” Mason said. “He throws the ball well and he was in a similar situation, leaving a high-profile program. He’s a big physical kid, he’s got a good arm and he can run.” The Bearcats offense has also
looked human at times. Kiel has committed seven turnovers on the season. The Bearcats’ average only 96.2 rushing yards per game, which ranks 116th out 128 FBS teams. The Mustangs’ offense looked comfortable against AAC competition, and should continue to score against a leaky Cincinnati defense, which allows

Mustangs take 7-0 victory over UCF Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu On Wednesday, six Mustangs found the back of the net while Michael Nelson pitched a save-less shut-out to give No.21 SMU a 7-0 win over Central Arkansas at Westcott Field. The last time SMU scored seven goals or more was in an 8-0 defeat of Centenary on Sept. 12, 2006. “You’re always worried at any level because any team can beat you, but every night you have to put your best foot forward and make sure you’re doing the things that you prepare for and we did,” Head Coach Tim McClements said. “We got goals often and had a number of quality chances and finished several so it was a nice
night for our fellows.” SMU improves to 8-3-1 on the season after Wednesday’s match while UCA falls to 2-9-0. Will Smith led the scoring for the Mustangs with the two goals he scored in the final three minutes of play. Smith’s first tally was a bicycle kick inside of six yards while the second came off a cross from senior Andrew Morales. Both goals were the first of Smith’s career. Mauro Cichero got the Mustangs started in the 13th minute when the first-year managed to evade several defenders and place the ball into the lower right corner of the goal for his second goal of the season. By the end of the first half, SMU held a 4-0 lead over UCA. A penalty kick from junior John Lujano in the 17th
40.8 points per game. But during the bye week, SMU’s offense lost a key member. Running back K.C. Nlemchi, who was going to get most of the carries for the rest of the season, was suspended for violating team rules. Mason says he hopes to have him back in November. Cincinnati can move the ball well, but if the Mustangs can force the Bearcats to turn the ball over, they can win. SMU can exploit Kiel’s inexperience and force mistakes by using disguised coverage and bringing pressure. SMU’s run defense has been bad all season, so facing a team with a weak running game gives SMU an advantage. The secondary had a rash of injuries against Texas A&M and TCU, but should be healthy coming off the bye week. Safety Shakiel Randolph is expected to return after missing the game against East Carolina with an injury. SMU and Cincinnati joined the AAC prior to the 2013 season. The teams played for the first time ever last season. Cincinnati won 28-25 on its home field. Saturday’s game kicks off at 2:30 p.m. and is televised by CBS Sports Network.
minute and goals from junior Idrissa Camara and Morales all but ended the match. In the 60th minute, Damian Rosales extend his goal-scoring streak to three matches with SMU’s fifth goal of the game. Having such a big lead early in the match allowed McClements to give some of his starters rests and to provide others with opportunities to play in extended minutes. “They played very well and it was a great opportunity for some of our players who haven’t gotten a great amount of time throughout the year to come in and we were really happy and pleased with the way they played,” McClements said “It adds depth to your team as you head into conference play. Knowing that you have people who came come in off the bench and do the job is key.”
In total, the Mustang attack registered 23 shots, and 11 shots on goal. SMU’s unbeaten record has now grown to eight matches and are 7-1 at home. “We spoke to the guys before the game to make sure they knew the importance of the result,” McClements said. “Obviously we’ve got some very difficult games coming up and we didn’t want to get ahead of ourselves so we focused tonight on Central Arkansas and now we’ll turn the page and deal with South Florida.” SMU returns to Westcott Field for an American Athletic Conference battle with No. 24 USF on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT. USF sits just behind SMU in American action. Live stats and video will be available at SMUMustangs.com and admission is free.

SMU’s own directs documentary meredith carey Assignments Editor mbcarey@smu.edu For Christopher Dolder, meadows assistant professor of dance, choreographer Joost Vrouenraets seemed like a handful. “He’s a pretty wild guy and I was sure he was thinking, ‘who is this guy?,” Dolder said. But fast forward through a few meetings, a shared love for dance and graphic novels, and the friendship was formed. Now Dolder is working as dramaturge for the famed Vrouenraets, giving advice for the centennial reimagine of The Rite of Spring. During the four-hour rehearsals in the Owen Arts Center, Dodler kept himself busy filming, to keep track of the movement and progress of the dancers. That film has turned into Meadows at the Winspear Rite of Spring, which follows the choreographer, dance faculty and students through three months of rehearsal and final performances, and it will premiere this Saturday at Dallas VideoFest. “What everyone gets out of this is the process by which collaborative artists
helped envision Joost’s work,” Dolder said. Mixed with interviews with costume designers, lighting technicians, faculty and student dancers, the film highlights the ephemerality of the 101-year-old piece by Igor Stravinsky. Dolder began filming his own performances in the mid-1980s while he danced with his own company, Christopher Dolder and Friends, and as a soloist for Martha Graham. “I started to document my own work and play with it. I was self-taught and editing truthfully with a razorblade and cellophane tape. It was the dark ages of editing,” Dolder said. Later, while pursuing a graduate degree at Mills College, his hobby became a true passion thanks to access to instruction and advanced equipment. He began creating site-specific works, like dances on sandy beaches, which would become one of his first major films, Shifting Sands. With his documentary of the revolutionary modernization of The Rite of Spring, Dolder was able to speak through two voices, that of the visual and that of those involved in the production. Though Dolder filmed and edited the documentary
himself, the students involved in the production received plenty of experience from the filming alone. “I was able to experience the process with them,” Dolder said. “They saw what it took for me to film and how much footage I had to take. It was a revelation of how you get from A to B.” Dolder will be teaching Dance And Camera in the spring for the first time to help students take control of their own performances and realize their potential as filmmakers. Meadows at the Winspear Rite of Spring is the first of two Dodler documentaries premiering over the next year. His film “The Ecstatic Dance of Burning Man,” four years in the making, explored experiential, conscious dancing at one of the world’s most known festivals. “As a 52-year-old dance teacher, you’re not supposed to dance,. You’re just supposed to teach,” he said. “At Burning Man, I had an epiphany, I can be someplace where I can just experience dance and not be responsible for driving it.” The film will screen at 8:15 p.m. on October 18, at the Angelika Theater. Tickets are free.
