Checking in with Rose Pasquarello Beauchamp

What are you working on right now? I’m working on a new piece for my company that is just beginning. I recently got back from the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in September, and I was doing a lot of work with dance-theater integration, and how to look at them not as two separate mediums, but […]

Twenty years of local news and arts in the spotlight

It’s that time of the year again for two great traditions that go great together. We speak, ’natch, of the time-honored practice of lying about the status of your term paper. With finals looming, one corner of Charlottesville is teeming with procrastinators—the kind of people to whom we paid tribute 19 years ago for their […]

What follows is an overview of official police statements and events reported on by C-VILLE staff. Morgan Dana Harrington has been missing since Saturday, October 17.

Twenty years of music and arts in the spotlight

It seems we here at C-VILLE have kind of a thing about reporting while using alternate modes of transportation. Just as this week’s cover story stems from a walk through as-yet-incomplete Hollymead Town Center, some of our favorite stories from the archives grew from walks and bike rides.

Twenty years of local news and arts in the spotlight

The first time we can recall reporting on someone’s grand scheme to restore the Jefferson Theater as a performance venue, after years as the Movie Palace, was 17 years ago. Before the property was picked up at auction by a local newspaper editor who then sold it 14 years later to a local music promoter/band […]

Checking in with Jesse Dukes

What were you doing before we called? I was trying to learn the guitar part for “Surf Rider” by The Lively Ones. Tell us about your day job. I work three days a week, part-time, for the radio program “With Good Reason,” which is produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.   In addition […]

Checking in with Rose Hill

What are you working on currently? An Uncle Remus mosaic mirror. What were you doing just before we contacted you? I don’t remember. From illustrating scenes from The Story of Little Black Sambo to her seen-on-“Oprah” “Little Colored Girls” plate series, Rose Hill continues to engage historical representations of African-Americans with her work. Catch her […]
