AMELIA CACCHIONE/DAILY

EnspiRED’s latest fashion show.

I couldn’t think of a better 

ending to a day of worldwide 
activism.

This 
past 
Saturday 

night, student organization 
EnspiRED 
presented 
their 

annual runway show in the 
main lobby at the Alfred 
A. 
Taubman 
Biomedical 

Research Building.

The night began with a 

VIP 
pre-show 
featuring 
a 

complimentary 
buffet, 
gift 

bags and a live performance by 
singer-songwriter Rella. The 
pre-show chatter consisted of 
attendees complimenting one 

another’s outfits and taking 
pictures for the ‘gram.

Around 6:45 — the show 

was slated to begin at 7 
— the speakers cut from 
Rella’s velvety vocals to the 
thumping, uncensored beats 
of hip hop’s current hits (think 
“Bad and Boujee,” “Caroline”). 
General admission audience 
members began filing in from 
all entrances. Though most 
appeared to be close friends 
and family of the EnspiRED 
team, 
the 
excitement 

throughout the event space 
was palpable.

The 
show 
began 
at 

approximately 
7:30. 
Titled 

“Urban 
Behavior,” 
it 

featured 
eight 
separate 

“scenes,” which functioned 
as mini fashion shows with 
their own individual sub-
themes, ranging from “City 
Necessities” to “For Us, By 
Us.” The production kicked off 
with a dimming of the lights, 
and soon the audience was 
immersed in a dreamy string 
of 
Detroit-centered 
visuals 

created by University student 
Corey Johnson. Soon, models 
of every race and size were 
parading up and down the 
runway, eliciting boisterous 
cheers 
from 
the 
ever-

involved crowd (think: “YES 
CANDACE! GET IT GIRL!” as 
the model in question strode 
about 
in 
her 
streetwear-

inspired garb).

The clothing was provided 

by a wide range of designers, 
from 
the 
Detroit 
based-

youngsters at 51/50 to monster 
brands like Windsor. Styling 
the 
outfits 
entailed 
some 

occasional 
gender-bending: 

Girls strode as confidently 
in basketball shorts as their 
male counterparts did in pink 
pantsuits.

Although 
every 
look 

was beautiful, what struck 
me most was the kinship 
between model and audience 
member. The entire night 
felt 
remarkably 
familial, 

especially given the fashion 
world’s frequent association 
with coldness. Urban Behavior 
was less about the clothes, and 
more about the sense of unity 
that the event fostered.

Midway through the show, 

EnspiRED’s 
Community 

Service Chairs took to the 
runway to let everyone know 
what the purpose of the event 
really was. Everyone in the 

organization is involved in 
some form of service, the 
girls 
explained, 
and 
this 

year 
EnspiRED 
had 
come 

together to raise funds for 

Northwestern 
High 
School 

in Flint. They would even be 
holding an activity day at the 
school in February with the 
intent of preparing students 
for their futures.

The 
show 
closed 
with 

homage to peaceful protest 
in Scene 8, “By Us, For Us.” 
Models paraded across the 
stage 
holding 
signs 
that 

boasted 
positive 
messages, 

such as “Save Our Earth,” “Yes 
Means Yes” and the timely 
“Feminism is Equality.” Each 
provoked a new spurt of cheers 
from even the very back row. I 
felt like I was re-experiencing 
the 
Ann 
Arbor 
Women’s 

March, which I had attended 
that afternoon, in an even 
more diverse, optimistic way.

EnspiRED’s Urban Behavior 

was inclusive in the truest 
sense. For the first time since 
my arrival at U of M, I finally 
felt like I was experiencing 
genuine 
diversification. 

The 
organization 
presents 

our campus with a pocket 
of beauty seldom found in 
a whitewashed, pessimistic 
world.

EnspiRED’s runway adds 
a dimension to diversity

Quartet for the end of time

My parents are musicians. Not 

the cool, rock-band type, with 
national tours and color-flooded 
light shows and electric guitars. I 
know because when I was a kid and 
first learned they were musicians, 
this was the picture that I had in 
mind, and it was — sadly, I thought 
— incongruous with what I saw 
in day-to-day life. Instead of 
shaking hands with famous VIPs 
backstage at rock concerts, I spent 
many a night of my childhood 
sitting bored in the middle 
of a concert hall, doodling on 
programs while my parents took 
formal bows atop a minimalistic 
stage. When I was interested in 
music, I was interested in the songs 
on the radio and old Beatles CDs, 
the things I could dance to. Scarcely 
did it occur to me that this chamber 
music could ever truly impact the 
lives of random listeners, or affect 
people in the same way that I was 
affected by music that made more 
sense to me. That these pieces, 
from the inventive movements 
of 
contemporary 
compositions 

to the symphonies of long-dead 
composers, could move people 
profoundly, and tell stories that 
mattered.

When I was ten years old, I 

traveled to Alabama to watch my 
mother and three of her colleagues 
perform 
Olivier 
Messiaen’s 

“Quartet for the End of Time.” We 
arrived at the concert hall early 
and, having brought nothing else 
with me to do while the quartet 
rehearsed, I spent what felt like 
hours reading, re-reading, doodling 
all over and re-re-reading the 
program, which explained the 
context in which the piece was 
written. It was the story of the 
“Quartet for the End of Time” (or, 
untranslated, “Quatuor pour la fin 
du temps”) that has prompted 
me ever since then to allow 
music to touch me. That story 
made me recognize that music 
is a human experience: It is created 
by people who are trying to reach 
out to the world using the best of 
themselves, and, as the listener, I 
have the option of reaching back.

Messiaen was a young composer 

living in France during World War 
II, and in 1940 he was imprisoned 
by the German army in a camp 
called Stalag VIII-A. It was in 
this prisoner-of-war camp that 
Messiaen made the acquaintance 
of clarinetist Henri Akoka, violinist 
Jean de Boulaire and cellist 
Étienne Pasquier, all of whom 
were fellow prisoners. It was 
also here that he composed the 
quartet, adding himself as the 
pianist. The piece is named, of 
course, for the end of the world, 
and each movement represents 
a 
different 
stage 
in 
the 

religious cleaving of humanity, 
the addled process of love, 
destruction and apocalyptic 
absolution. The camp guards 
allowed 
the 
musicians 
to 

perform 
this 
quartet 
for 

themselves and for the other 
prisoners 
using 
dilapidated 

instruments, and the piece’s 
premiere took place in January 
of 1941 at Stalag VIII-A, outside 
and in the rain.

The idea that people could 

relate to music in this way 
astounded me. It resonated 
with me that a man could 
— and did — write an entire 
quartet, eight movements of 
translated emotion, imprisoned 
in a foreign country during 
one of the bloodiest wars of 
history. I tried to imagine 
the musicians playing on the 
battered 
instruments, 
the 

guards 
who 
allowed 
them 

to play and the prisoners of 
war who gathered and saw 
the piece first performed in 
the middle of the camp. The 
thought of all of these people 
watching this musical premiere 
in the middle of a war made 
me think that this event must 
have 
deeply 
impacted 
and 

revealed 
something 
about 

everyone who was involved in 
its manifestation.

In the years since then, I have 

been struck many times over by 
people’s commitment to music 
and deep faith in it as a measure 
of humanity. This is true both 
of dedicated musicians, like my 
parents, and of people whose 
lives and careers have nothing 
to do with music at all. We all 
have songs that we go back to 
when life feels so oppressive 
that the word “hard” doesn’t 
even begin to cover it — songs 
that tune us into our own pain, 
songs that cleanse us. Only 
yesterday, in one of my English 
classes, I learned about how 
Rosa Parks, upon hearing of Dr. 
King’s assassination, reacted 
by holding her mother, crying 
and listening to Sam Cooke’s 
“A Change is Gonna Come” 
over and over again. According 
to biographer Doug Brinkley, 
Parks said that Cooke’s voice 
“soothed” her and that his 
words were “like medicine to 
the soul.”

This 
past 
weekend, 
my 

mother performed the quartet 
yet again, this time at Michigan 
State 
University. 
Over 
the 

phone, she told me about how 
people were crying — both 
the performers and members 
of the audience — as they 
reached the final movement, 
which is meant to represent the 
achievement of love and faith 
at the culmination of the end 
of time. When I think about 
it, this is truly one of the most 
important things that music 
does for people. It reveals our 
commitment to creativity and 
personhood, brings us together 
when there is nothing else to, 
and offers us love, strength and 
community, even in the face of 
the end of the world.
