...actors. It’s just movement and creativity embodied. It affects the mind and the emotions….And my students write to me as to how it has affected them later in life, not as dancers, but as just people, in other fields.” Humanist scholar Svetlana Nikitina agrees with the assessment. She wrote of Mallardi’s course in a 2003 edition of “Journal of Aesthetic Education,” and interviewed a psychology concentrator who called the class “the best psychology course she’d ever...
...white, so BSA is out. She’s too straight for Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance (BGLTSA), and too bad at chemistry to join (Women In Science at Harvard-Radcliffe) WISHR. She can’t speak Tamil, she isn’t a humanist, and she knows that Illinois is not quite far enough away to give her the worldliness required for Woodbridge.

...Bologna may be a broad type, but one of his cultural ancestors, Duke Federico da Montefeltro (1422-1482), was also quick to anger, though once you got to know him, he would build you a palace. Like all great Renaissance men, Federico was a liberal humanist with diverse interests. He also happened to be the most accomplished military strategist in 15th century Europe, and he used his immense profits as a freelance killing machine to turn Urbino, his hometown in the Marche region on Italy's eastern coast, into the Greenwich Village of the Quattrocento, a place where architects, soldiers...
