Myrtle Beach's abundance of dance-friendly nightclubs and miles of white sand are a popular destination for a college student's spring break. But while other students are making plans for the traditional wild, crazy spring break, Nate Braman from Vanderbilt University decided to make some alternative plans for his.
Last year Braman didn't feel like he accomplished anything during spring break, so he decided to try something new this year. The biomedical engineering major volunteered to spend his break renovating a house with Habitat for Humanity of Horry County, along with 36 other college students. He said he enjoys doing community service because it's a good opportunity - and you meet new people.
"This is more meaningful than going to the beach and remembering maybe half of it," said Braman.
And Braman isn't alone. Although spring break is not traditionally shown in a progressive light, some students are converting the image of a wild, crazy party into a positive impact for the community.
A tradition to get trashed
The media plays a huge role in representing spring break and Myrtle Beach. Coed Magazine ranked Myrtle Beach No. 4 on its Top 15 Trashiest Spring Break Destinations list for 2013, citing the abundance of booze, beach, bars, wet T-shirt contests and strip clubs. However, it also states that three things only define Myrtle Beach: the beach, Broadway at the Beach and strip clubs. The top spot has been held by Las Vegas, followed by No. 2, South Padre Island, Texas and No. 3, Daytona Beach, Fla. Myrtle Beach was No. 5 last year and apparently, bumped Key West down the list.
Myrtle Beach's national visibility with TV shows such as " Eastbound and Down" and " Welcome to Myrtle Manor" doesn't quite clean up its reputation either. Other shows, such as " Greek," have featured Myrtle Beach as the destination for spring break for its characters, even though it was filmed on a West Coast beach that looked nothing like our area.
Add to that the release this week of the movie "Spring Breakers" featuring former wholesome teen stars Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Vanessa Hudgens in a big screen portrayal of this seasonal vacation. The movie has all the dirty you can handle, from alcohol, clubbing, and sex, to drugs, jail and even a robbery.
Admittedly, the majority of students' spring break experiences never go to the extremes which make it in the media and Hollywood's portrayals. But as the alternatives become more abundant, the traditional meaning of spring break is changing completely. A growing number of students are coming to the Grand Strand with different plans for spending their week with more noble intentions.
Wild and crazy is what we know of Spring Break. Gallons of alcohol and excessive partying are how Spring Break is characterized in movies and TV shows. And all of the alcohol leads to questionable decisions.
Earlier this month, Bethany Reese, 21, came to North Myrtle Beach from Harrisburg, Va., with her friends for spring break. She went missing for a few hours and the media sent out alerts to find her. Luckily, she was found with no harm. But that's not always the case. In 2009, Brittanee Drexel of Rochester, N.Y. went missing when she came to Myrtle Beach on spring break. Her story has gained national attention and the search efforts haven't ceased because she is still missing.
North Myrtle Beach officials say that incidents involving spring breakers range from theft to public intoxication. The city has formed a special team partnering with Horry CAST (Community Action for a Safer Tomorrow) to specifically address potential issues with visitors to the area for spring break.
But a growing number of students are making different plans on how to spend their breaks with more philanthropic intentions.
Some traditions are meant to be altered
Not every college student spends his or her spring vacation in self-indulgent fashion. Many come to the "Dirty Myrtle" to help clean it up and do service projects. The term alternative spring break was coined in the 1980s as a counter to traditional spring break trips. These alternative trips tend to focus on helping foster social issues and causes, such as the environment, poverty, and education.
"Volunteering over spring break is not what many college students picture their spring break will consist of," said Courtney Elliton, student coordinator of Students Taking Active Responsibility (STAR) at Coastal Carolina University.
Students may become motivated to participate in alternative spring breaks for a variety of reasons. Not only do they become active in the community, but also some may find an interest in new experiences and a desire to meet new people. Alternative spring breaks have tremendous leadership opportunities through service-learning programs and even a chance to gain college credits. Of course, there is always the resume-building opportunity and experiences to help towards a future career.
Habitat's Collegiate Challenges
As a part of Habitat for Humanity International's Collegiate Challenge, 36 students from Vanderbilt University, Eastern Kentucky University and Alfred State College in New York spent their spring break (wrapping up on Saturday), volunteering to help renovate homes with Habitat for Humanity of Horry County. Braman and his Vanderbilt team worked to renovate an original Habitat house built in 1996. That home is located off Mr. Joe White Avenue in Myrtle Beach and needed to be renovated for a new family to move into. The three-bedroom, one-bath home was completely gutted, including taking out the entire kitchen and bathroom.
During the first week of the Collegiate Challenge, which started March 4, the Vanderbilt students were focused on interior work, such as flooring and painting. Most of the doors had to be replaced as well as cabinetry and appliances. The few things salvaged included a few doors and some trim work.
Jessica Moore is another student who volunteered from Vanderbilt and is a political science and Latin American studies major from New York City. She participated in a Habitat build last year in New Orleans and in Myrtle Beach this year. She said she learns something new each time about construction – last year she was mostly nailing siding outside and this year she's doing interior work.
"There are always opportunities to go away with friends, but this time I brought my friends with me," said Moore, who spent most of the day scraping tiles off the bathroom floor. "It may seem like an underrated job, but it's worth it."
But for others, the experience of volunteering during spring break offers opportunities to meet new people.
"I was involved with Habitat in high school and my church. This is my first experience with a college group and it's been a good one," Braman said. "I didn't even know anyone else in this group before, but we really got to know each other during our nine hour drive to Myrtle."
Regardless of why they sign up, students make an impact where they choose to serve. According to Executive Director Gail Olive, Habitat for Humanity of Horry County has hosted the Collegiate Challenge since before 2000. Some years the organization has had four-to-five weeks of college students coming to the area to volunteer. This year, it's three weeks dedicated to the program. Working through Habitat International, college students are reached and recruited through national promotions. In 2012, Habitat reported that 774 collegiate teams served for a total of more than 12,000 students.
"These students giving their time are incredibly generous and it's a concentrated amount of work," said Olive. "We also have local volunteers that are generous with their time too in helping these college students at the sites."
Local business partners pitch in, too, including restaurants such as T-BONZ, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant and Mellow Mushroom, which donated meals for the students and volunteers.
"We couldn't do it without their help," said Olive.
A typical Habitat home may cost in the neighborhood of $15,000 and this can only be accomplished with donations of time and money. She is hoping that more businesses and individuals will step up to help because it makes a significant difference in getting families into homes.
"Our board is really committed to increasing the number of houses for eligible families in our area," she said.
Reinventing a Venue
But Habitat for Humanity isn't the only local organization offering labor-intensive work with a positive renovation to college students on spring break. Fifteen students from UNC-Pembroke spent their spring break helping to renovate the Rivoli Theatre in Myrtle Beach into an entertainment venue for Ground Zero, a non-profit organization in Myrtle Beach that seeks to provide a safe and positive place for teenagers to visit and stay out of trouble.
The students, also a part of the Berea Campus Outreach ministry at Berea Baptist Church in Lumberton, N.C., worked on sheetrock, framing walls and generally fixing up the venue March 11-16. For the past four years, the campus ministry has participated in a mission project during spring break. Last year, they helped open a kid's summer camp in Virginia and other times they volunteered at homeless shelters.
"A lot of students get caught up in the mentality that college life is more about parties, so it less prepares you for life," said Hector Miray, assistant pastor of the church. "When you take the time to serve others, work hard and put effort into something, it will help prepare you for life after college. It's the effort you put into things that help you invest in your future."
Miray asked the students if they would rather be sitting at home playing Xbox or getting drunk or spend a week to change lives forever. He said he seeks to offer the last option and the students are more than willing to forego the typical spring break to help the community and a cause. The church group comes to Myrtle Beach often during the summer, too, to do community service.
"By doing something like feeding the homeless, it changes your mindset about the beach. It wasn't just about parties and shopping, there was more to the area," said Miray.
The renovation of the Rivoli Theatre has been a big project for Ground Zero having already had more than 50,000 volunteer man-hours since the project started in February 2012.
"We've come a long way in a short amount of time," said Scott Payseur, executive director for Ground Zero, who also founded the organization along with his wife, Kimberly Payseur, in 1998.
"The venue is really cool and unique for the Myrtle Beach area," said Payseur about the renovations of the theater. Once completed this fall, the venue will be targeted towards teenagers as an uplifting place for music, events and entertainment, including a coffee bar. "Things will change from generation to generation, but there is something constant when you are in your teen years; you want to simply hang out with other teens," said Payseur. "This venue will give them that place, it removes the elements that could lead them to a decision they may regret the rest of their life. It may be that whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but the emotional repercussions of what happened stays with you. It only takes one decision to affect the rest of your life."
Breaking tradition and helping others
Branam and Moore are carrying forward a tradition that began on their campus more than 20 years ago. In 1991, two college students at Vanderbilt organized a group, Break Away: the Alternative Break Connection, to provide resources and support for the development of quality alternative spring breaks through intensive service-learning programs. Break Away, now headquartered in Atlanta, has a network of more than 100 chapter schools, more than 400 nonprofit partners, and hundreds of individual members worldwide.
"One part of the alternative break experience is to act as a catalyst for local action," says the Break Away Web site. "Breakers often returned to their college campuses to create a campus organization related to the social issue, have a deeper understanding and commitment to an academic path. They feel empowered by the identities of 'alternative breaker' and 'active citizen'."
Many students who participate in an alternative break experience consider it a life-changing event and the national alternative break movement carries through many colleges and universities. In South Carolina, departments at several universities support the system of alternative spring break for their students. The University of South Carolina is a member of Break Away and offers alternative spring break opportunities, including a trip to New Jersey to help with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The Center for Civic Engagement at the College of Charleston sponsors alternative break for its students with opportunities to help the homeless in Mississippi, learn about environmental sustainability in Asheville, N.C. or travel to the Dominican Republic or Guatemala to earn college credits. The Office of Student Activities and Leadership at Coastal Carolina University offers alternative break programs for winter and spring breaks.
"While most students take this break to travel south to white sand beaches or travel home to visit family, our group is giving up their break to help better the life of someone in need," said CCU's Elliton. During spring break, Elliton accompanied 11 other Coastal students and two advisors to help build a house in Washington, Pa. with Habitat for Humanity.
"The students going on the trip have a passion for giving back to the community in need and we are all excited to be able to witness the outcome of our hard work," she said.
Pushkala Raman, a professor at Florida State University, conducted an impact analysis in 2001 in conjunction with Break Away. They found that there is significant evidence to support the view that alternative breaks are "indeed contributing to the creative of active citizens. Also, participants show stronger intentions of voting and are inclined to increase the amount of time they dedicate to serve the community." An active citizen, according to the philosophy of Break Away, is someone who believes the community becomes a priority in values and life choices as opposed to a volunteer, someone who is well-intentioned but not well-educated about social issues.
Break abroad
There are options for students who want to learn or earn credit during their break, too. Students from CCU and other universities around the country also spend their breaks traveling abroad A group from CCU just returned from London where they were able to take advantage of the cultural and historical highlights of the city. As a part of courses in politics and literature, students visited sites such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Tower of London. They also enjoyed tours of neighborhoods, theater performances and a trip to Oxford. The program at CCU is limited to students who are enrolled in particular Politics or Literature courses where the trip is used as part of the teaching and students can earn college credit towards graduation. The cost of the London trip was $2,495 and included lodging, some meals, international air and local transportation, field trips and the trip insurance. Other short-term study abroad trips cost between $1,050 and $5,265, depending on the destination and tour details.
But for other students, CCU and other universities offer regular short-term study abroad opportunities throughout the year, including trips to Thailand, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Italy. These opportunities not only provide an international experience, but students gain college credits towards graduation. These courses typically include a few hours of credit for the study abroad program.
Terrance Parson, a communications major at CCU, took advantage of one such the opportunity when he visited Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands last May and earned six credits for college.
"The opportunity to go to the Galapagos Islands was a once in a lifetime experience to see where Charles Darwin discovered the theory of evolution," he said.
During the trip he also toured ruins, museums, churches, multiple cities and studied at la Universidad de Cuena.
"I got the chance to be immersed in a foreign culture and gain valuable knowledge about life," he said. "I'm an advocate for study abroad programs, they give all students the ability to see the world through international academic enrichment."

quote:Moncrief 30 YD TD catch. Absolutely just burned Simon.
quote:Idk it was a free play and most of the LSU team thought it was dead. Simon probably stopped for a second and that cost us a TD.
quote:Collins was never pegged to be the starter for 2012. It was Simon and TM7. So, not sure where you got that he was pegged as a starter...
quote:So, our #3 CB from last year turns into the #4 this year when we lose a starter?? Right.. right... Now Holmes is better than Collins... And now 2 high schoolers are better than not just Collins, but Mills too. Who was the best freshman DB in the SEC last year and most likely the country and was a freshman all american. And also projected as a 1st rounder when hes eligible to go. But, the 2 high school players who have never played against SEC talent are better. Wow.
quote:Collins was horrible?? Where the frick are you people getting this crap from... Made the All SEC freshman team but was horrible. Makes sense.
quote:We got good looking DB prospects. Doesnt mean they are coming in and starting and will be an upgrade.
quote:Considering that both freshman outplayed Simon last year, I think we're in pretty good hands this year. I expect to see a lot of Corey Thompson this year too especially if Loston gets banged up again. White and Robinson are the heirs apparent to those positions in 2015 once Mills and Collins leave.
quote:Craziest part to me is that Kevin Tolliver will be the best of all of them on day 1. Kid will start as a true freshman at LSU. He is PP7 reincarnate.

Ohio Holds 212th Birthday Celebration At Statehouse
Ohio is celebrating its 212th birthday with special events at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
Listen to the Story
At a recent Sunday dinner at a friend's home in Bexley, our normal chatter about work and family was interrupted by the squawking and pecking of chickens.
My friend's neighbors are one of four families in Bexley that can legally keep chickens on their property. During dinner, the neighbors were outside, dressed in knee-high boots and Carhartt jackets, watching the animals as though they were the cast of a hit TV show.
The chicken debate is heated one in my hometown of Bexley and other hometowns in central Ohio. One person has even founded the Westerville Area Chicken Keepers Society. And a number of websites and blogs have popped up to teach these wannabe urban farmers how to successfully keep chickens.
My friends have handled having chickens as neighbors with grace, but I'm not sure I could do the same.
It's bad enough living in an apartment building, where my upstairs neighbors have a rambunctious puppy and no carpeting to muffle the barking. I don't want to walk outside each day and see chickens, and I don't want to wake up every morning to a rooster's crow.
Not only can chickens and roosters be noisy and time-consuming pets, they're dirty and they smell. And according to a number of studies, chicken coops are responsible for some bed-bug infestations.
It also seems as though suburban chicken farming is just another culinary fad for well-to-do city slickers. Raising chickens is the new "in" thing if you've got the money and time.
But I remain conflicted.
In recent months, I have become much more cognizant of where my food comes from and what I'm using to fuel my body. I do applaud people taking a stronger interest in how their meat and eggs are raised.
It would be great to wake up on a Saturday morning and know exactly when and where the eggs in my omelet were produced. Just like growing a crop of tomatoes or peppers, knowing where your food comes from is good for both the mind and the body.
In this day of overly processed fast food, it's important to take an active interest in what you're eating. There's no way of knowing what the chemicals and additives in today's food are going to do to your body tomorrow. All this said, I will never own a chicken – and I hope my neighbors won't either.
I'm a vegetarian, I'm not a huge fan of eggs and, at the end of it all, I think chickens are just plain ugly.
There. I said it.
As long as chickens don't become "man's best friend," I hope I only have to handle my upstairs neighbor's cute, albeit noisy, puppy – instead I'll support local, non-urban organic farmers for my very limited poultry needs.

Muscat grapes are widely understood to be one of the oldest grape varietals in the world, with many experts claiming that a surprising amount of grape varietals used in the production of fines wines are in fact descendants of this original species. They are characterized by their high juice content, and the fact that they almost always hold a powerful and pleasant floral aroma, alongside bright, fresh and tart fruity flavors with have plenty of space for the expression of terroir. Muscat varietal grapes are renowned for being highly versatile, and are regularly used for the production of a vast range of wines still dry white wines, elegant sparkling wines, sweet dessert wines and aromatic fortified wines are all often made from this special and unique grape.
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

Re: Bad yacht accident: two dead (one rescuer)
Yes, that rib was not the most appropriated but that was what they had available.
Portugal is in a deep of very difficult economic problems that are being addressed but that involve huge cuts to everybody, mostly in what regards state costs. With those costs the life guard service has not money to be run as before and they only pay their workers from 9h till 17.30h. They do what they have to do at any our without being paid. The cuts also involved the impossibility to assure what they consider a proper service so the navy is helping with the equipment they have and they don't have adequate equipment for rescue.
That RIB, the one that capsized was a navy boat with sailors not specifically trained for rescue. They didn't have even life saving suits. If they had then probably that sailor would not be dead. They all come to help and have done the best they could for some sailors that were doing the wrong thing and that could be safe sailing offshore.
This starts to be a problem, I mean sailors doing things without knowing how to them and then ask for help:
Yesterday the life boat from Peniche went out to respond to a mayday. The time as disagreeable but not threatening and today is a nice day. The saillboat in question had 9/10m and had a engine problem. I saw photos of the boat and its sails were intact and apparently without any problem. The conditions permitted the life saving boat to tow them to Port. Why the hell did they not sail to Port? Probably another ones that did not want to pass a disagreeable night at sea

Philip Arles, the "mad dog"?
By admin on October 14, 2012
BACOLOD CITY, October 14, 2012, Philippine Time – * BEWARE: Pickpockets abound at the downtown area are right now.
* THERE are 855 political candidates in various positions in Bacolod City and in Negros Occidental according to Provincial Elections Office records.
* HELEN Catalbas is the new Department of Tourism (DOT) regional director for Western Visayas.
* SHE will serve in an acting capacity.
* ORGANIZATIONS and private citizens have tapped social networking sites and have set up text brigades…
* TO convince Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) to continue with its Capitol project.
* "WE hope that the call for ALI will go viral", said Nestor Evaristo, president of Hotel and Restaurant Association of Negros Occidental (HRANO).
* IF they do it well…
* WE are sure that it will (go viral, we mean).
* BUT, we think that it will be another thing to hold ALI back.
* AS we said it here before, it will still be a business decision by ALI in the end.
* THE fact that it has committed to push through with the P200 million project development plan in Talisay City…
* IS an indication that ALI has kissed the Capitol project goodbye.
* CAUAYAN Vice Mayor Jerry Tabujara has called Philip Arles, son of Kabankalan Ctiy Judge Henry Arles who was murdered months ago, "a mad dog", in his counter affidavit filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ).
* "Philip Arles is the mad dog unleashed by Governor Alfredo Maranon to bark and bite at me, Mayor Paul Alvarez and Vice Governor Alvarez for no supporting his political bid", Tabujara said.
* THE governor, on the other hand, has denied the allegation.

by Tyler Will, Naval War College Public Affairs
NEWPORT, RI -- Students in the Naval War College's College of Naval Command Staff Joint Maritime Operations (JMO) course began an exercise on May 26 that requires creating an elaborate plan for a hypothetical humanitarian crisis in the Pacific area of military operations.
The exercise runs almost three weeks, and provides about 300 JMO students with a comprehensive understanding of the civil side of military planning. The Joint Maritime Operations Course is taught by the NWC's Joint Military Operations Department.
The purpose of the exercise is to synthesize and reinforce course material through practical application in a realistic Joint Task Force, multinational, interagency, and component staff environment in the solving of a military problem.
For many officers, it's the first experience of its kind in their careers.
"The military may be called upon to do something other than fighting," said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Joe Pellissier, a JMO faculty member playing the role of a Public Affairs Officer (PAO) in the exercise. "It's not a conventional conflict, but it's something the military is capable of doing. It tasks them to think outside the immediate military realm."
Students are divided among 14 planning cells and closely monitored by faculty, who serve as leads for cells within a military task force environment. And while the students won't actually execute the plan, they act as if they were going to. The cells have different numbers of students in them.
The J-3 Operations cell is the largest, and has three subdivisions. Those subdivisions include: information operations; current operations; and current planning.
"Through here [the J-3 cell], if we've got everything set up right, we'll have a good idea of what's going on throughout the whole joint operation," said U.S. Navy Capt. Mark Donahue, a JMO faculty member acting as chief of the subordinate J-33 cell, responsible for the day-to-day operation of the task force. Pellissier described J-3 as "eyes," because it sees everything that goes on and passes some of that information to a hypothetical admiral, the Task Force Commander.
Other cells feature intelligence, logistics, future plans, and military components of land, air, sea and special operations. Faculty are in charge of the cells, and meet daily to keep all sections running at the same pace.
Pellissier and Professor Mark Vaughn, another faculty member participating in the game, said students sometimes have difficulty staying focused on the humanitarian side of the mission. Vaughn said it is because a humanitarian mission requires the military to take a secondary, behind-the-scenes role, which they are not used to doing. In this scenario, the military is providing security, instead of playing a conventional warfare role.
"The mission here is to provide relief, not to rebuild the economy, not to rebuild the electrical infrastructure, it is specifically to provide humanitarian relief to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe," Vaughn said.
Lt. Cmdr. Shane Tanner, a JMO course student and a Navy pilot, said the exercise provides broader military exposure to all students. Though it takes every student out of his or her comfort zone, Tanner said all students will be better officers from the extra experience, because they get to see the military decision-making process in action.
Explaining that he will have a corresponding role in the fleet, and commanders will pass critical decisions to him, Tanner said, "It is important that I understand how those conclusions came to me."

Randy for Model Number DM15K-7BS
Answer Hello Randy, Whether you can do this with the unit in the installed state is dependent on whether you can access the screws along the front top edge that retains the air grille. If you can, then the air grill should be removed. At this point you will see a single centered above the control panel. When it is removed, you will be able to lift the control panel up and off. It will still be connected by the wiring which you should take multiple pictures of from several directions to aid in the re-connection. You will then be able to access the door release button at the bottom of this opening.

They came to Chennai from all over - Russia, Chile, France, Hungary and so on, to learn a classical art form. Read on to find out what it means to them…
It is not uncommon these days to see foreigners on Chennai's streets looking at home in ethnic clothes and braided hair. Strike up a conversation and one is greeted with vigorous head shakes and other 'Indian' mannerisms. This is the culturally-adapted foreigner (CAFO), living here to learn Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi or Carnatic music.
Indian classical music and dance are well-respected outside India, but they have not yet gained mainstream stature. So how did the foreigners know about them? Some like Sasha (Russia), Olena (Ukraine) and Eva Berki (Hungary) say it was the colourful, larger-than-life images in Hindi movies that caught their attention first.
Tanya (Belarus), a fourth year student at Kalakshetra with a Ph.D. in Mathematics, says she was intrigued by an 'Eastern' dance that she saw back home, and searched the net all night to find out about the dance in which, 'the hands spoke a language.'
The foreigners are a passionate lot. They have to be, if they have braved family disapproval, financial constraints and cultural barriers to come halfway round the world to learn. Each of them has a different story.
Krishna bhakti
For Krishnamayi, 33, (aka Christina Nunez) from Chile, who has been with dancer Sailaja for six months to learn Kuchipudi, Krishna bhakti drew her to it. According to her, "Dance has expression for the eyes and the heart, spiritual involvement and corporal movement. It is a full religion."
Natalia Butyrskaya (Russia) who learns Bharatanatyam under dancer Meenakshi Chitharanjan and is also pursuing an M.A. in Bharatanatyam at the Madras University, says that she was attracted to this form, "by its capacity to create a world in itself." She explains, "When an individual dances, she is alone, in a neutral costume and without any setting. Everything that she shows, she creates herself with subtle movements and gestures." She started learning dance at 21 when she came to India with her father, who was working with the Russian consulate. She had her arangetram, studied the Tamil language and literature in Moscow, came back on a posting with the consulate in 2006, and has been here since.
For Murielle (29), the tall, long-limbed beauty from Reunion Island, France, Bharatanatyam's link to theatre was the main attraction. "I was excited to see that you could tell something without words! In the West, we have lost the link with God and with devotion; we need to believe in something higher. It exists in India and in dance, and that is its beauty."
For some, coming to India altered their personal lives forever. Sasha, who trained with veteran Nirmala Ramachandran in Moscow and Chennai and now trains with Professor C.V. Chandrasekhar and dancer Manjari, met and married a Frenchman in Chennai and has stayed on for more than a decade. Tanya too found her life-partner in Chennai - an Indian.
And how do they associate themselves with the culture that Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi represents, where devotion and love are the dominant themes? While Tanya feels that expressions are more about life experiences and that her portrayal of a love-struck heroine has improved since her romance and marriage, Sasha feels that 'sringara' is a universal phenomenon that anyone can relate to. Since devotion was already a part of her life, as a member of the Russian Orthodox Church, she says it was easy.
But generally it has not been so easy; some 'observed and learnt,' while others had to push themselves to emote strongly. Murielle has a refreshing point of view, "While it is nice to play a heroine and to think about the romantic side when no one has the time for love today, the gestures initially meant nothing and their meaning only dawned on me much later. In the beginning, I thought that everyone on the street was dancing!"
Olena, a trained nurse and a third year student at Kalakshetra, found in Bharatanatyam a way of connecting with theatre, music and rhythm. On the cultural front, she says, "When you come to a place, you become the place like a river!" About handling the subjects and emotions, she feels, "When you get involved with the subject, emotions will flow from inside."
There are some young students such as Nicholyn (South Africa), second year Kalakshetra, and Katya (French Guyana), learning under Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam, whose ancestors were from India. While they have a head-start, yet they have faced similar cultural awkwardness regarding squatting on the floor, eating with the hand and emoting. For them, learning dance and learning the culture are inseparable.
Then, they are two 22-year old friends from Hungary, Mariann Adasz and Eva, who have come for a 10-month stint with dancer Meenakshi Chitharanjan. Inspired by Hungarian dancer Panni Somi, they learnt Bharatanatyam for seven years before heading to India.
A new language, different teaching methods, high rentals and alien food are the roadblocks they face, as they speak about what Bharatanatyam means to them.
Most of them have been funded by ICCR or by the Indian Embassies abroad. While many feel that they may not be able to make a career out of the classical arts, they all agree that this will always be an important part of their lives. For now, they are enjoying "the big adventure!"

Homo the musical is about gay aliens taking over a small suburban town. All to song and dance! Go Homo for the holidays!
About this project
Homo The Musical is about what happens when two worlds collide, literally! Set in an insular, religious, middle American suburb which houses a tight knit community of people who tout family values, fear change, shun individuality and take divine comfort in complete homogeny.
But little do the good folk of Pleasant Valley Pines know that there is an imposter among them plotting chaos and destruction. And this my friends is all I will tell you as I hope you will be in the audience to experience all of the action packed scenes such as, alien invasions, gay wrestling, exploding heads, rockin' church choirs, murderous cheerleaders and sexually frustrated housewives all set to song and dance!
Created by B-Movie filmmaker and NYC's answer to John Waters, Lola Rock-N-Rolla (Dragzilla, Night of the Living Gay). Along with Gina Volpe, seminal NYC punk guitar player and songwriter (Lunachicks/Bantam) and Broadway dancer & celebrated choreographer Aliane Baquerot (Celebrity Circus, Movin' Out on Broadway). These three distinct backgrounds have joined forces to create a project that boasts hilariously campy dialogue, full on rock songs performed on stage by a live band and solid kick-ass dancing. The lights go up in January in the East Village and will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of Hedwig and Rocky Horror.
