' synesthesia' which was used in early symbolist and
Greek theatre. It explores the way in which a theatre
production can require a total use of all five senses in
the experience of a production."
The directors would like to dedicate this show to
Oliver North, Jim and Tammy Bakker, Pat Buchanan,
and to the memory of Andy Warhol - unfortunately
the show is longer than fifteen minutes, despite edito-
rial efforts - the man who made cans famous.
LIFE BEFORE CAN-OPENERS plays at S p.m.
tonight and tomorrow at the Arena Theatre on the first
floor of the Frieze Building. Admission is free.

Broadway productions, its
entertaining exhibitions continue to
sell out venues across the country
- proof that Flashdance was not
just a passing fad, although the
ripped t-shirts are out.

And much like Flashdance,
Waves stands on a fine line between
acceptance as unrecognized talent
and rejection as garish, tacky fash-
ion by the art mainstream (none of
the Waves dancers work in a tool
and die shop, although Master Jay,
the rollerskating breakdancer, is a
plumber). Most of the Waves corps

and students hold jobs outside of
the studio awaiting the rewards that
come with fame. And apparently
they're on their way.
WAVES will appear at the Power
Center at 8 p.m. tonight. Tickets
will be on sale at the Michigan
Union Ticket office and all
Ticketmaster outlets
