On the right, the talented and brilliant students from the LOOKING FOR THE UNSEEN course, which Margaret devised for a diverse range of students coming from a variety of students across UCLA: anthropology; architecture; choreography; dance; design/media arts; history; geography & environmental studies; psychology and photography. Also, the gifted movers and shakers who took the DANCE for the CAMERA Course in the extraordinary World Arts & Culture/Dance department.
