Wednesday February1220 michigandaily.com mae@michigandaily.com ATMesmd O ttu 5 Hundreds of students flocked to the Michigan Union yesterday hoping to catch a glimpse of reality TV star Trishelle from the 12th season of "The Real World," who signed autographs and took pictures with fans as a pro- motion for travel company, STA. Before being swarmed, Trishelle spoke with The Michigan Daily about life inside the MTV fishbowl. The Michigan Daily: What have you been doing since the show ended? Trishelle: A lot of us travel and do college tours. Frank just got a small part in "American Pie 3." Some of us are trying to go into acting. TMD: What are your future plans? Trishelle: I would like to do broadcasting. I would also like to host my own show on MTV I'm going to be in Can- cun hosting for Maxim and hopefully hosting for MTV "Spring Break". TMD: Well, what did happen in Australia? Trishelle: Frank and me obviously got closer. Elton probably had a threesome, at least he told Steven he did. But he's with Irulan so we won't really talk about that. TMD: Do you think Steven overreacted when Brynn threw a fork at him? Trishelle: No, I don't think he overreacted. They didn't catch a lot of it on camera. I wanted her gone, a lot of peo- ple did, but they weren't going to let her go. TMD: How do you think the show portrayed you, and do you think this portrayal was correct or incorrect? Trishelle: If you watched the show from the beginning, they showed me with Frank, and then with Steven. That really was not how it was. I didn't know how Frank felt about me until after the episode aired. They also showed me and Steven hooking up the first night; it wasn't like that - it was, like, three weeks later. M INOR TMD: Do you think the show portrayed any other cast member incorrectly? BY COURTNE Trishelle: Yeah, they showed Brynn like a crazy psycho person, Steven like the slut and Frank like a goody two shoes. Frank is not a good boy; he gets more game than any guy I've probably ever met. Steven? He slept with two people in Vegas, less than any of the other guys. Irulan? She's not a crazy person either. Irulan is a really good person, and Brynn's not crazy; she's not like that. They probably showed me, Irulan and Steven as the worst cast members. They tape us for five months, and use less than a day of footage; of course they're not going to show every good moment that we have. TMD: Do you feel that this season contains more sexu- ality than previous seasons? Trishelle: Of course. I think our cast was different than others. They're way more good looking and open and we got along better as a cast and I think this might have added to our attraction to one another. TMD: Is there anything you regret having done on national television? Trishelle: No. TMD: Were any of your family members disappointed by what they saw? Holland's Big Band jazzes up A' By Melissa Runstrom Daily Arts Writer i- . Be prepared for a spectacular night of jazz Saturday when Dave Holland brings his quintet and big band to the Michigan Theater. His music should certainly be a treat for both avid and casual jazz fans. Dave Holland is one of the most respected names in mod- ern jazz. He is renowned around the world for his solo and quintet work while his big band is met with increasing acclaim. Born in England, Holland left school when he was only 15 to pursue his musical career. Eventually he received a full scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In the 1960's, jazz legend Miles Davis discovered Holland and asked him to come to America to play in his fusion band.

(EGAS GIRL MTV CELEB VISITS 'U Y TAYMOUR AND VICTORIA EDWARDS DAILY ARTS WRITERS Trishelle: My dad didn't speak to me for about a week after the third episode. He quit watching the show, though, and our relationship is a lot better now. TMD: How do you feel about being portrayed as having had an eating disorder? Trishelle: I totally did, but I think a lot of it had to do with the stress of cameras. I think every single girl in the cast had an eating disorder at one point. All of us were throwing up; all of us didn't eat as much as we should have. TMD: Whom do you keep in touch with out of the cast? Trishelle: Everyone. Irulan and Elton live across the street, and Frank lives five minutes away. Brynn is engaged to Austin and has moved back to Portland. Arissa is engaged and lives in Vegas. I talk to Frank and Steven the most - at least three or four times a day. TMD: Was the show everything you expected it td be and what do you think you're walking away with? Trishelle: Honestly, I had no expectations. I learned a lot about myself, and I met the best friends I've ever made in my life. Holland has earned a reputation as one of the best jazz musicians and is noted for his impro- vised jazz. He is an extraordinary bass player, cellist and com- poser. Holland is also dedicated to teaching, and he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Music from the Berklee School of Music for his work at DAVE HOLLAND'S QUINTET AND NEW YORK BIG BAND At the Michigan Theater Saturday at 8 p.m. University Musical Society With one of the strongest and most rec- ognized quintets in popular jazz today, Holland had already made his music known. When he started his big band in 2000, many doubted that it would fit in with the music his quintet was known for. Their fears proved to be ill found- ed, however, when his Holland combines his quintet with the power provided by the band and pulls off something that few com- posers can. He applies each individual layer of power with precision, utiliz- ing the soloist, quintet and big band effectively. Earning three Grammy nominations, including one this year for Holland's Big Band album, "What Goes Around," the Big Band is receiv- ing rave reviews from jazz fans, crit- ics and musicians alike. Seeing and hearing this talented group of musicians on Saturday will certainly be a delight. The perfect har- monies of the musicians combined with the improvisational jazz skills of Dave Holland are second to none. various schools and conservatories.

Avant Eos to perform Copland By Melissa Runstrom Daily Arts Writer Unique, original, fresh and appeal- ing all describe the Eos Orchestra and its upcoming performance Sunday, Feb. 16th. Eos offers something other than the traditional orchestral experi- ence. Their mission is to present engaging programs to a variety of people employing non-traditional approaches and rare musical scores. Their motto, according to executive director Stephen Vann, an '84 University alumnus, is "A new way to see music." The Eos Orchestra was founded in 1995 by its artistic director Eo ORCHE At the M Thea Sunday at University Mus Classic hunchback comes to Frieze the orchestra and the pieces he selects. "He is brilliant in so many ways, including the way he puts pieces together side by side, so that one work allows you to see the other pieces more intimately,"Vann said. The performance on Sunday will include selections from Paul Bowles and Aaron Copland. The latter is often described as one of the quintessential American composers. Though Copland's name is relatively well known today, Sheffer S found most of the STRA upcoming program's material untouched and ichigan forgotten in the Library ter of Congress. The con- 4 p.m. cert will include "The sical Society City Suite" with twenty minutes of black and white footage from a film Copland made for the 1939 World's Fair. The program will also include Cop- land's beautiful musical piece "Appalachian Spring" with the original ballet program being performed as a rare treat. "You will come away feeling and knowing that this is a composer with something to say to today's audi- ences,"Vann testifies.

The play gives the audience a chance to interact with the charac- ters, and as Frazier says, "My favorite parts are the connections between Richard and the audience." with the actors representing the par- ticular pieces of the game that suit their characters. This imaginative approach should make the technicali- ties of Richard's hierarchal advances visual and so help the audience to understand exactly who has the advantage and when. As if displaying the game behind the play was not enough creative inge- nuity, Marod explains how the play "is set in a matrix-like world suggestive of Elizabethan times." This includes adorning Richard in black leather. Also, Marod hints at her attempts for some laughs. "We're looking to make it more humorous," she says.

Vann says it should be "accessible for the novice but still entertaining for the expert." "Conducting is one of the great joys of my life," said Sheffer who conducts Eos and also has conducted the scores for popular movies like "Alien 3" and "Interview with the Vampire." He loves working with Eos because he finds it a good way to express his creativity, both musically and through the program planning. Sheffer has been a driving and innovative force behind Eos. Pick- ing obscure, lost or rare pieces to bring to the public, he succeeds in making them relevant to today's audiences. The success of the non-traditional programming can be attributed, in part, to Sheffer's genuine commitment to formed by an orchestra. This helps account for the fact that more than a third of Eos' audience falls between the ages of 25 and 35. Sheffer insists it is because "we offer familiar and unfa- miliar together." The whole orchestra is proud of the reputation it has garnered, as well as the work and presentation that have justly brought about such talk. Eos musicians are real partners in the production of the material. They take an active roll on all levels and in all facets, including business and cre- ative aspects of the group.
