Performance

The collections of works shown in the Evening of Dance performance were very engaging. The three Booker T. Washington ensembles: World Repertory Ensemble, Repertory Dance Company 1, and Repertory Dance Company 2 were all able to convey the ideal emotions and create a visceral reaction. World Repertory Ensemble’s piece “Sofa” a traditional African performance choreographed by Moussa Diabate started the concert, the end of the first act was Repertory Dance Company 2’s “9/Tenths of the Law” a very…

longtime fan of both The Neighbourhood and Manchester Orchestra, I felt incredibly lucky to have family living near Dallas who were willing to provide a place to stay for myself and my husband to attend the concert and see a new city. The entire performance was impressive, extremely hyped, and emotional, all the way from the audience all the way to up on stage. While I knew of the first two bands mentioned, I knew nothing of Chappo and it was cool to hear something new live and in person. The…

This performance was the symphony’s final performance for the year, so they were definitely at their best. It was clear to tell by how well the symphony played together. There were so many different instruments coming together to make something beautiful. The symphony played Beethoven's…

the concert. Without further hesitation, the soloist begins the excerpt from Bach. The style of this performance has changed due to variations in interpretation throughout the history of music. Music performance has evolved because of the enhancements of the classical period, propaganda of the war era, and technological interpretation of modern-day performances. The customs and arts of performances focused on the church and aristocracy before the economic growth of the middle class in the…

now, I was ecstatic to find out he would be performing at First Avenue during the start of summer break. I am extremely that I purchased tickets, as the concert was nothing short of the spectacular experience I was expecting it to be. His stage performance was entertaining to say the least, and the use of stage lights, fog machine, and EXTREMELY loud sound system really increased the visual and audio display. Something that spiked my interest during the concert was the differences in the live…

recital performance by Michael Patilla. I picked this recital, at the beginning of the semester, specifically due to his instrument, the guitar. Before I had attended this recital I had witnessed the guitar performances of many different genres of music, but never of classical pieces. Being familiar with the guitar made for a great reference point for many of the songs performed and added the little bit of musical experience I had to the situation. My overall impression of the performance was…

Group Performance Evaluation a) Our farewell party at a ramen restaurant gained positive feedbacks from the class thanks to the collaboration between everyone in the group. As a person who seldom participates in drama performance, this was a fresh experience to me. I enjoyed the process in which we create the story by ourselves and perform it in front of the class. Also, I liked our simple props made the scene hilarious and more understandable. The applause from the audience at the end of the…

the other concerts with the music they played was more enjoyable, modern and upbeat. A positive aspect I took from this performance, was inviting and friendly the performers were. It is not everyday where they invite you to sit on stage while they do their performance because they want you to feel like you are a part of it. I really did find much negativity to this performance, besides the fact it was most sung in a different language and hard to follow, but helped me learn more of different…

During the final week of classes at Truman, I had the pleasure of hearing the school’s jazz bands in concert. During the concert, the Jazz Lab band and the Jazz Ensemble, both directed by Tim AuBuchon, played several jazz standards and modern favorites. The Jazz Lab band started out the night with five big band pieces. The instrumentation of the Jazz Lab band was standard for a big band; it included about four of each horn (saxophone, trumpet, and trombone), an upright bass, a piano, and a…

experienced, it is important to consider at the kind of movement displayed on screen, in the first instance boxing and dance are different kinds of movement, although they both require training and precision. Landay in her article ‘The Mirror of Performance . . .” argues that humans make sense of the world they inhabit through their bodies, therefore what the audiences see performed reflects this, through kinaesthetic empathy. The spatial and psychological space of the cinema auditorium…
