Football fans saw the 

fickle nature of Michigan 
weather this weekend when 
it swung from a sunny, warm 
70 degrees Friday to a chilling 
low of 30 degrees Saturday, 
along with a dusting of snow 
on The Big House, during 
Michigan’s final home football 
game.

Despite the cold, Michigan 

fans celebrated their 20-10 
win against Indiana by taking 
to the field and making snow 
angels.

Snow fell heavily during 

the game as well, forcing the 
players to play on a slippery 
field. With one game left, 
Michigan is 10-1-0 this season.

The victorious, snowy end 

was the last home game of 
the season — a potential relief 
after Michigan’s loss to Iowa 
14-13 last Saturday. Michigan 
is currently ranked at No. 3 in 

the AP poll.

The game also led to a 

different kind of ranking. 

According to Michigan 
Football’s Twitter account, 
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh 

has reached 20 wins faster 
than all but one another coach 
in Michigan history.

Allen performed an original 

song 
with 
his 
own 
guitar 

accompaniment.

“When you can look into the 

eyes of the person performing, 
it’s a different way you can 
connect to it — it’s much more 
intimate,” he said.

The 
event 
was 
hosted 

by 
MOSAIC: 
Intercultural 

Performance 
Ensemble, 
a 

student organization dedicated 
to creating live art to increase 
diversity and representation on 
campus.

Music, Theatre & Dance senior 

Aline Mayagoitia, the creative 
director of MOSAIC, said the 
event 
was 
an 
opportunity 

for students to express their 
thoughts on important issues 
in a way that is not normally 
facilitated at the University.

“We 
are 
a 
presenting 

organization, 
so 
we 
usually 

couple with student theater or 
other organizations to make 
pieces that have either a cast or 
creative team or a voice that is 

usually not represented in other 
organizations on campus,” she 
said.

Mayagoitia said this was the 

first non-theater performance 
MOSAIC 
has 
hosted, 
with 

students 
presenting 
original 

works from poems to songs, as 
well as reenacting excerpts from 
plays and other performances 
they have been a part of.

“Identity is so much more 

complicated 
than 
what 
our 

binary systems want us to believe 
it is, and I think a really good way 
to express complicated things 
is through art and through 
poetry, music and storytelling,” 
Mayagoitia said. “Today is about 
us, as artists, as poets, as people, 
expressing our own words.”

During the event, Mayagoitia 

spoke 
about 
recent 
campus 

events, 
including 
student 

protests in the Ann Arbor 
community, saying this open mic 
night aimed to create a safe space 
for underrepresented students to 
speak up.

“We 
think 
we’re 

understanding and we think 
we’re so open and yet, there are 
still crimes that are happening 
at our doorstep, and still a lot 

of hate that we need to combat 
with expressing ourselves and 
plainly saying who we are,” she 
said. “That’s where the title came 
from.”

Elyakeem Avraham, a junior 

in LSA and Music, Theatre & 
Dance and the associate director 
MOSAIC, said he hoped the 
event would widen the lens and 
perception of audience members 
so they could leave with an open 
mind about different identities.

“I really want them to be able 

to know that there are ways 
to articulate, understand and 
educate yourselves about other 
identities that people hold,” he 
said.

The 
open 
mic 
included 

excerpts 
from 
“For 
Colored 

Girls,” 
a 
show 
directed 
by 

Avraham and set to be performed 
on Central Campus this February.

“It’s the coming-of-age story 

about 
everybody’s 
personal 

identities and everything they 
hold within,” Avraham said. “A 
lot of times the media perpetrates 
or stereotypes people for a lot 
of things that can cascade over 
their whole ethnicity or race, 
religion or sexual orientation. 
With All That I Am is basically 

that 
personalization 
and 

humanization 
of 
people 

individually, and that’s what 
our community is hungry for 
and needs.”

Reeves and Allen said these 

kind of events are particularly 
important for students today 
and they hope to continue 
working with MOSAIC to 
perform self-produced work 
and audition for larger campus 
productions.

“I think that a lot of times 

when people are having casual 
conversation they can put up 
a blockage and there can be a 
kind of force field around them 
so you can’t intuitively see 
through them,” Avraham said. 
“But the interesting thing that 
a performance does is that it 
gives people that time capsule, 
that blank space to be a canvas 
and to create and allow people 
to really see their true colors. 
I think live performance has 
a way to interpret what we 
feel in actual life that we can’t 
say in everyday conversation 
because it isn’t in our casual 
dialogue to do so.”
