The people at Macaulay are so amazingly talented! They can dance, sing, act, and draw, and Arts Night showcased all of that. When I walked into the Cabaret, I was greeted with a great spread (as usual) and various paintings. The most interesting piece was an interpretation on The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer. Instead of a pearl earring, the girl has a red ear gauge. Her face has a tatto that's similar to the one the Mike Tyson has on the side of his face. Her eyes peer over her shoulder at you, captivating. That painting just pulled me in and it's so cool to see classic artwork transformed to something more modern. It reminded me of classics turned into zombie novels like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Walking further into the Cabaret, the stage was lined with lights and constantly filled with performers. Probably one of the most memorable performances to me was this guy who built his own guitar! and used his feet to play the tambourine and a foot pedal simultaneously. He sang bluesy folk songs and had this really rich and deep voice. I've never seen or heard anything like that before. Other great performances included a tap dancing ballerina, a dramatic monologue (shout out to Colby who did an intense job!), acoustic covers, and a student written musical number.
All in all, it was a Friday well spent.
