4 Monday, February 19,1996 SRC Event Raises Money for American Heart Association ■ Fifty students participated in the first Dance for Heart benefit and raised $350. BY KATHLEEN BLILEY STAFF WRITER Fitness buffi got pumped up for the American Heart Association (AHA) on Saturday morning at the Student Recre ation Center’s first Dance for Heart ben efit. Participants each made a $5 donation to the AHA in return for an all-out, artery clearing workout with step, high-energy, Sink and boxing aerobics. Three aerobics instructors cheered 50 sweaty, red-faced students through an hour and a half of crunching, kicking and gen eral booty shaking. “It was a great workout,” sophomore Mashonda Jacksonsaid. “I am glad I came. Just knowing I was doing it for a good cause made me want to keep going.” Funk and box instructor Lisa Levitin said participants also stayed to sample the variety of styles offered. “It is a full hour and a half of hard work with all these different instructors, and they want to hang around to try all of them,” Levitin said. There were other incentives as well. Students who had their names drawn during breaks between activities won T shirts provided by Nike representative Jeannie Miller. Participants who gathered monetary pledges beforehand had the opportunity to win AHA prizes including water bottles, exercise shorts and cookbooks. Because Dance for Heart was new to the University, only a few people collected pledges, SRC director LaurenMangili said. Mangili, who has organized Dances for Heart at Bowling Green University in Ohio, said she hoped to get groups from resi dence halls and Greek chapters to partici pate in future benefits and maybe even compete in terms of who raised the most money. Mangili added that she would also like to have the aerobics instructors get SSO worth of pledges to set an example for the students. idBEO COOKIEI UNC or Duke? Duke or UNC?

The benefit was sponsored by the American Heart Association. Valeda Hood, a sophomore who took part in Saturday’s activities, said she de cided to come on to the event on the the spur of the moment and did not have time to collect pledges. “Nextyear, I’ll probably sign up pledges because I’ll have more time to plan, ” Hood said. Step instructor Elizabeth Woody said although the benefit’s turnout was not huge, she thought that future Dances for Heart would be very popular.

Five British actors touring with the UNC-based A Center for Theatre, Educa tion and Research (ACTER) brought an unconventional rendition of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” to Hill Hall last weekend. On a stage set with only 10 chairs draped in the scarves and hoods that at various times made up their costumes, the five classically-trained performers from the Royal Shakespeare Company and other prominent English theaters presented a full-length version of the tale of maniacal ambition and mad love in medieval Scot land. No mistaking this for “Braveheart” —the suspicion, terror, treachery and pain that wracks “Macbeth” is very far from brave and even further frdm uplifting. The credit for the devas- LILY THAYER Theater Review 'Macbeth' tating power of ACTER’s “Macbeth” lies nearly equally with the actors each working to create several roles without a director —and with Shakespeare’s text itself, the spellbinding beauty of which the company highlighted by their bare bones approach to its enactment. Macbeth and his lady (Gareth Armstrong and Sarah Berger of the RSQ were particularly good, both individually and as a team bound together by mutual ambition and passionate, kinetic love. Armstrong was terrifying as he mingled cold reason with wild- eyed delusion to paint a portrait of a grotesque villain. His lust and subsequent downfall transcended the gimmick of Armstrong playing four additional roles during the play. Berger gave an unusually humane inter pretation of the “fiendish queen. ” Her hor ror at Macbeth’s growing madness was apparent and moving. Asa blind witch in sunglasses, Berger verged on the comical, and her Ross was sweet and steady as the perpetual bearer of bad news. As Macduff, Sam Dale was riveting. Convulsing with the knowledge that all his pretty children were gone, Dale’s Macduff was raw and heartbreaking. That Dale also played Macduff’s son about to be knifed by hired hoodlums was not confusing, but rather movingly appropriate. Phillip Joseph’s part of Banquo and drunk Porter both turned out to be some what comic portrayals though the former was less intentional and more the product of an uncertain audience response to Armstrong’s hypnotic enactment of Macbeth seeing the murdered Banquo ris ing among the banquet guests. Employing the same throaty, slightly masculine voice as the prince Malcolm, Lady Macduff and First Witch, Joanna Foster’s performance was sometimes con fusing, sometimes dull and sometimes bril liant . She could, however, play a skin drum mightily, and when Malcolm assumed the throne of Scotland in the final scene, Fos ter made a convincing leader of men. The play raised many questions and gave few answers. As the lights went down on thebarren stage and the lights ofFranklin Street cast silhouettes of trees onto the auditorium’s walls, the effect was striking and disturbing at once. Could it be that life really is, as Macbeth said, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”?
