As part of UM's Earth Day events, Billie Lynn, art professor, has created a 65-foot replication of a sperm whale which will be displayed on the Lakeside Village green on April 20 and 21.
Art performances:
- Thursday, April 20 from 2:30-3:00 pm, thirty dance students from the Frost School of Music Dance Program will unite with Prof. Lynn's whale to mourn the extinction of whales in a performance art piece facilitated by dance/movement Professors Carol Kaminsky, Nicole Perry and Jorge Morejon, called, "The Wail for the Whale," with music by Frost student Jacques Yarris.
