At beaches it eats insects, snails, tiny crabs, fish eggs, and tiny fish. In the marsh it eats insects and small fish.

| Salt Lake City Weekly
In years past, you might have expected to see a City Weekly Summer Guide issue sometime in May. Of course, years past were different because, well... [gestures broadly at everything]. As recently as late spring, it wasn't entirely clear if Summer 2021 would be a depressing instant replay of Summer 2020.

Easily Confused Words: Wind Chill vs. Windshield

|
By Tim Nichols, Kathleen Curry
kathleenwcurry in Easily Confused Words January 11, 2017January 11, 2017 280 Words Windchill and windshield are easily confused words. The spell-check application of most word processing software programs would not catch a slip-up of these two words. Spell-check is looking for words that aren’t in its dictionary, and words that resemble words in its dictionary, but are possibly spelled wrong. Spell-check isn’t perfect.

| Salt Lake City Weekly
At some point in the history of entertainment, the term "family-friendly" became shorthand for "boring." Some might suggest that we've lost the ability to appreciate wholesome entertainment thanks to the internet, but a mouse named Mickey might tell you otherwise. People haven't lost their taste for activities and events that adults and kids can enjoy together.

Not Lost in Translation | Arts & Entertainment | Salt Lake City | Salt Lake City Weekly

|
By Scott Renshaw , Kathleen Curry, Geoff Griffin
| Salt Lake City Weekly
Forty years ago, when a fledgling would-be opera company in Salt Lake City made Puccini's La Bohème its first production, it might have felt like an obvious choice. In addition to being one of the most popular works in the operatic canon, it's also a story of struggling young artists doing what they do for pure love of creating, and with no guarantee of financial reward. Now that Utah Opera is an established institution, however, the production is bound to have a different meaning.

When Salt Lake Comic Con opens its doors this week, it will feature a guest lineup of familiar celebrity names like John Cusack, Christopher Lloyd, Elijah Wood and Dick Van Dyke. By now, this influx of talent seems like an almost predictable September occasion. But how did a relatively new pop-culture convention in Utah become one of the most desirable guest destinations in the country?

Colorado needs thoughtful politicians not bound to parties

|
By Kathleen Curry, Mary Parker
| The Denver Post
Voters are clearly fed up with the two-party status quo. A majority of Americans view both parties unfavorably, and more Americans identify as independent than either Democrat or Republican. The trend lines are even more staggering here in Colorado. Our secretary of state recently reported that more than half of the 25,039 voters who registered since June 28 chose to be unaffiliated with either party. Independents now number over 1.3 million in the state, or 37 percent.

Point Blank | Arts & Entertainment | Salt Lake City | Salt Lake City Weekly

By Scott Renshaw , Brian Staker, Kathleen Curry, Geoff Griffin
| Salt Lake City Weekly
The process of creating art almost always begins with blankness: a clean canvas, a bare stage, a blinking cursor on an empty screen. But when an artist begins the process of adapting an already-existing work to a new medium, you'd expect there to be more of a starting point for filling in that blankness.

THURSDAY 8/3 Anthem Theatre Co.: Elephant's Graveyard It's never easy to launch a new small theater company, and those who do often find themselves working in makeshift spaces. That's why Anthem Theatre Co. Creative Director Caitlin Bell is delighted to be staging a production of George Brant's 2008 play Elephant's Graveyard in the Rose Wagner Center's Studio Theatre.

These days, a race can mean just about anything, from eating 72 hotdogs in 10 minutes to running a half-kilometer in high heels. The possibilities are endless.

In January 2015, Alex Ungerman was trying to launch a theater company—and launching a theater company isn't easy. Finding space to produce shows isn't easy; getting local theater audiences acquainted with your name and your mission isn't easy. Coincidentally—and fortunately for Ungerman's fledgling Sackerson Theatre Co.—early 2015 was also when Westminster College theater faculty members Michael and Nina Vought were launching the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival.

Statewide, competitive dance is a big deal. Think little girls caked in makeup and sequins, popping their hips and doing split leaps—it's flashy and designed to impress judges. Local and national competitions, like the Spotlight Dance Cup, take place in Utah cities throughout the year. From Orem's Center Stage Performing Arts Studio to Ogden's Studio 48, dozens of instructors teach kids (mostly young girls) how to turn ballet, hip-hop, jazz funk, modern and tap into a spectacle that wins awards.

On May 24, 1991, Becky Aikman was in the audience for the opening night of Thelma & Louise, an under-the-radar comedy-drama about two women on an outlaw road trip, which was opening opposite macho big-budget action movies like Hudson Hawk and Backdraft. "There hadn't been much marketing or publicity about it," Aikman recalls, "so I didn't know what to expect. And it completely blew my mind, because there was nothing else like it at the time.

FRIDAY 7/14 Under the Influence: Eight Local Artists Influenced by Animation Ask any young child: Animation can be as addictive as sugary breakfast cereal. Since at least the pop art movement of the 1960s, visual artists have incorporated images and themes from the genre into their work, often as commentary on popular culture. Under the Influence at Rio Gallery collects works from local artists whose creations bear a distinct impression from the art of animation.

In 2017 America, it feels like nothing should be able to surprise us anymore. Yet it was still somehow particularly bizarre when a New York City production of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar—with the Roman emperor dressed as Donald Trump—became the latest flashpoint for political tensions at the outset of the current presidency. Yes, it was 2017, and we were all getting worked into a lather over a Shakespeare play.

"I think this year it's mostly about how, nationally, the world has affected us locally, more than taking it completely local," Cynthia Fleming, SLAC's executive artistic director, says.

Over the course of its 41 years, the Utah Arts Festival has shifted locations, added programs and swelled annual attendance. One thing, however, has remained consistent: Every year is a new test of its organizers' creativity in putting it all together. After 2016's big 40th anniversary—which included a unique, Legislature-funded free-admission day on the opening day—you could forgive UAF director Lisa Sewell if she wanted to take a year where everything stayed the same.

Larson explores new terrain regarding what it means to be male. His Aaronic Configuration series—photographs transferred onto paper backdrops, then painted with watercolors and acrylics—began as figure studies, but eventually developed into stories. The men Larson depicts are not ordinary artist's models.

In 2017 Utah, a work by an openly gay high school student—including an artist's statement addressing its LGBTQ themes—won a Juror's Award at the Springville Museum of Art's 45th annual All-State High School Art Show, where it became part of a touring exhibit that will make its way to state schools and libraries throughout the 2017-18 school year. Yet the most remarkable thing about Dylan Kime's story, is that it doesn't seem like a seismic shift, but rather part of a new normal.

Much about the origin of The Long Walk as an opera seems improbable, even as Utah Opera gives it its second-ever production.

Though it's going to be a long six months until Salt Lake Comic Con comes back to town, there are plenty of pop-culture creations to help you cope during the wait.

While there's nothing wrong with cosplay, it's not fashion in the true sense of the word—rather, it's what Tim Gunn would call "costumey" in a polite tone that conceals an ocean of derision.

How else could one explain the everlasting cycle of celebrity worship and tabloids, or the slut-shaming and buzz around the selfie hacks of private panty shots snapped by the starlet du jour? On the other hand, it's clear that many pop-culture fanatics prefer that the legacies of their heroes be scrubbed and romanticized.

Is visual art like sausage-making?

We've even come to enjoy viewing artists at work at open-studio events, like the upcoming one at Poor Yorick (Sept. 24).

And as one-time Utah resident Rae Meadows demonstrates in her novel I Will Send Rain, a setting doesn't define a story when its themes are more generally about the way different members of the same family can respond to the same crisis.
