House of Kenzo
Thursday, March 16, 1:00-1:50am
To the onlooker and passerby, House of Kenzo may look like some random girls dancing in post-apocalyptic garb on stage, but look and listen a little bit closer and you’re realize that this performance art collective constructs and deconstructs conceptual themes and ideas on whatever stage, house, arena, or gig you see them performing. If you’re not sweating, you’re not learning, sis.

Ursula, The Little Mermaid (1989)

Perhaps one of the most recurring nightmares from my early childhood had to do with this creepy half octopus/half woman from The Little Mermaid. I can't be the only one who would hide her face behind her fingers during Ursula's slimy performance of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" as she sings in her low register and works her black magic. She lures the sea folk in with her promises, but ultimately tricks her victims and makes them prisoners. That's some sick stuff.
