Musical Theatre And Self Expression

Decent Essays
I believe musical theatre helps with self expression and improves one’s way of thinking. Many people are involved with theatre and I believe that every day multiple lives are changed because of it.

I believe that musical theatre helps you gain experience on and off stage. It introduces you to new concepts and standards. It requires getting into a routine, which many people struggle with on a regular basis. It also ensures getting an end result. Once you start to rehearse for a show, you cannot back out. No matter how small, your role is important to the story and other characters.

The wide variety of people you encounter during your theatre experience, helps you gain knowledge on how other people live. Individuals in the theatre world

The arts programs over the course of my entire public education have served me well and continues to. This love for theatre has stemmed all the way from 1st grade Annie with my debut role of Kate the orphan to now an over 50 cast of Beauty and the Beast. I believe that the best way I can repay this debt back and make theatre a better place is through being a state thespian officer.

    I attended the 7:30 showing of Charley’s Aunt on October 7th. Based on my experience during ThunderBard and this specific performance I would somewhat agree with Ms. Ditor. It truly depends on the emotion and atmosphere of the play. If the play has more shocking elements it would make sense for the audience to be compelled to mentally ask “what will happen next.” If a performance is more about feeling the story that that question is not necessarily upon the minds of the audience.…

    Over the centuries, theatre conventions evolved from the highly presentational performances of the Greeks to the extravagance of Elizabethan productions and eventually conglomerated to produce contemporary theatre. The University Playhouse’s performance of Acting: The First Six Lessons expressed this conglomeration of Greek and Elizabethan conventions through elements of presentational theatre, a non-localized set, and a supporting cast that functioned similar to a chorus or ensemble. This performance also altered conventions through the addition of female actors, use of representational aspects, adaption of the functions of the chorus or ensemble, and lack of a raised stage. In the following sections, I will discuss the adoption and adaptation…

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…
