Orpheus in the Underworld Behind the Scenes

This is where the music of the "can-can" comes from! This is an Ancient Greek myth! This is a 1850s burlesque! This is quick-changes and tights!
THIS IS ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD!
Featuring back stage photos and a vlog tour!

https://lagmag.squarespace.com/news/2016/3/29/orpheus-in-the-underworld

The ancient Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice is ancient and well-known – but this isn't it. The couple is married, Eurydice dies, and Orpheus looks back… but you’ll have to see the opera to know what happens in between!

Palm Pilot

Interview with PALM PILOT!
Palm Pilot is a band composed of LaGuardia’s Aiden Berglund, Rain Johannes, and Laszlo Horvath, and well as Eleanor Roosevelt High School’s Charles Mitchie. They just released an eponymous album, ‘Palm Pilot’. As a “puzzle-pop” band, this group derives influences from modern and contemporary art, math, shapes, and social issues. Together, they combine splashes of color and sound to create a “sonic equivalent of biting into Gushers candy.”

Snowglobe by Katja Stoke-Adolphe

New poem from Katja Stoke-Adolphe: Snowglobe

https://lagmag.squarespace.com/poetry/2015/5/30/snowglobe-by-katja-stoke-adolphe

When I’m out on a clear day, and the sky seems to bend like a blue umbrella fading to grey out in the distance, I feel like I’m in a snow globe, and the sky that covers me is glass. Some might find that scary, but to me it would be reassuring because if I’m in a snow globe it must be held in someone…

Planet Panic!

Planet Panic: Earth Day Benefit Concert | Music News
by Charlotte Force

The back room of Branded Saloon is an intimate burgundy space with neon signs and pseudo-gas lamps. It’s a dark room, even on days when the sun is smiling, with velvet curtains hugging the jam-packed people around a low-rise stage. It was the venue of Planet Panic!, an Earth Day benefit concert organized by Thomas Warner Perriee and Venice Ohleyer. For three hours, seven excellent bands played excellent music, as a projector screen hung in the back screening The Lorax, psychedelic cartoons, videos of nature, Alice and Wonderland, and dream-like fractals.

"A green flurry of movement is sweeping the nation – its outcome might change the landscape of American wallets forever. Women On 20s is a reform group dedicated to replacing the likeness of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with an image of an important woman from American history: Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, or Wilma Mankiller."

LAG MAG AND POETRY IN SCHOOL

- Ms. Hasegawa and her classes have written haikus that have been posted to the website already. There are more to be added!
- Mr. H has assigned a spoken word project to his students. When they perform, they will have the option to be filmed for posting on the LaG Mag website (Mr. H has promised extra credit for this).

In the future, it would be great to collaborate with the entire language department to have poems written in French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese, and post the poems of those students who choose to share their work.

Mr. H has also shared a desire to organize a LaGuardia poetry festival in which students would share spoken poetry. We plan to encourage this idea and collaborate with the powers-that-be, so stay tuned for progress on that!

03/27/2015

FUN NEW STUFF ON LAG MAG!

We've added an ART PAGE where you can submit things like watercolors, canvases, prints, etc. in addition to our SKETCHBOOK page, which concentrates on the pages of people's art journals.

We've also added a HAIKU COLLECTION on the poetry page from Ms. Hasegawa's 8th period class.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADDING YOUR HAIKU IN JAPANESE
Message me with the haiku in japanese, the english translation, your full name, and your japanese section/period and you will be added to the article.

COMING SOON:
Interview with Shannon Hanna
Interview with The Kinsey Scale

Spoken word poems from Mr. H's classes

SKETCHBOOK

In order to submit to the LaGuardia Sketchbook, just scan a page from your sketchbook and email it to [email protected]. Please include what you would like it to be titled, and if you'd like your name to be included.

If you would like to submit a series of pages, like a photoset or mini-sketchbook, just send them under the same title. (Example: Paris 2013 by Charlotte Force).
However, if you just want to submit one page/image, that's great too! (Example: Earth Smiles by Charlotte Force).
