From Thursday, April 4, to Sunday, April 7, Brandeis’ Hold Thy Peace presented their version of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” directed by Naomi Stephenson ’26. “The Tempest” is an incredibly fascinating and nuanced piece of literature, telling the story of one man’s quest for vengeance and those he impacts along the way.
I had the pleasure of attending the Raku Firing event held by the Department of Fine Arts on April 7 as a part of the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts. Raku is a technique used in firing ceramics that originates from Japan in the 16th century. Raku involves making ceramic pieces, glazing them with a special lead based glaze and firing them to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The pieces are then removed from the kiln and allowed to cool either in open air or a reduction chamber. The resulting pieces are unique and unpredictable due to the Raku technique’s exposure to carbon, whether in the air or in a reduction chamber. Carbon molecules bond to the clay, creating a matte black finish with a wide variety of effects on glazed portions of the piece. Glazed portions can take on crazed, iridescent or glossy qualities.

The Irish musician and singer-songwriter Hozier recently released a new extended play entitled “Unheard” as an extension to his August album “Unreal Unearth.” The poem Dante’s Inferno inspired “Unreal Unearth” and takes the listener through the circles of hell: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Hozier revealed that over the pandemic he was hard at work making songs for this next album. Ultimately, he decided on 16 songs for the album, with one additional song, “Through Me (The Flood),” featured only on the “Eat Your Young” EP. This new EP, “Unheard,” features songs that were originally going to be on “Unreal Unearth” but were unable to make the original release.
