Fanny’s Fantastic Food Frolic
By Ruth Laurion Bowman and Melanie Kitchens O’meara

Fanny’s thoughts, actions, and food reflect on the color gray. She would call it blah gray color. Her mom introduced other colors to her through the Sophie Calle’s photographic project, The Chromatic Diet. This diet suggests eating color-coordinated meals daily, changing food colors daily.
The colors that were used to express different foods and feelings are gray, orange, red, white, green, and yellow. The orange scene, Monday, food consists of puree carrots, broiled prawns, cantaloupe melon, orange juice, and orange utensil. She felt grumpy on Monday/orange scene. On Tuesday, the red scene introduces Fanny to steak tartare, tomatoes, pomegranates, roasted red peppers, and red utensil. Fanny was not very acceptable to the color red and did little interaction with the group while they introduce the food. She felt red was grumpy and gloomy, so she returned back to her gray color. The white scene, Wednesday,

I love how the play and scenes were very simple. I would use a little music in my play and more human interaction and sounds. For example, I can record myself/someone knocking on a door and uses that sound in my play to represent the frog knocking on the castle door. I would make it more modern-day play, so my audience will not be bored. In Fanny’s Fantastic Food Frolic, they would make sure they had the audience attention by saying google it during the different scene. At that time a cast member would come stand next to someone in the audience and read off a paper tablet like he just googles an answer. That little action would make the audience laugh and probably get their attention. Another thing I would take from this play is to have fun and enjoy what my work of art. You could tell they all enjoyed working together and had fun while performing. Even the people working the lights to the producers all had a smile on their face and you could tell they really

    All I can say is, the story had somewhat of a quicker pace and sometimes harder to follow and small details could easily be missed, and the lighting was a tiny bit distracting when it flashed across the stage quickly. The use of sound effects was used to signify different things that caught the attention of the viewers and really added a special touch to the play. The play showcased beautiful and stunning singing which made the play more authentic, combined with the elaborate dances numbers truly made the show breathtaking and…

    On the evening of Saturday October 8th, the cast of the play Fuddy Meers took the stage and put on a unique and exquisite performance. The play took place in the Temple Theatre which I found was a highly interesting venue. There were several different elements that I found greatly intriguing during the course of the ninety minute performance, however, there were a few elements that I felt were also lacking. The first element that I believed helped to add significance to the performance was the stage setup(1). The revolving setup of the stage was perfect for this play and it allowed much versatility for the characters during specific instances.…

    Furthermore, the stage setup was utilized well. With the stage in the middle, they had three sides of audience seats that surrounded the stage. I thought this set up made the play more interactive and able to focus on the main character more closely. The lighting for this play was used effectively as well.…

    Red In Vertigo

    Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film Vertigo is now considered by the American Film Institute to be the best film of all time. With that title comes some flack for “beating” out all of the other films that come out ever. Obviously this title is subjective and doesn’t make the film anymore better or meaningful than it previously was, but the backlash from film critics are kind of ironic being about Vertigo. People are writing article after article and blog post after blog post about how Vertigo doesn’t deserve to be on the top of the list and that they or they collective group knows what the “best” film ever is. Wanting Citizen Kane back on top of cinema.…

    Last Thursday night, I attended Indiana Wesleyan University’s production of The Pirates of Penzance. This is a romantic comedy that is performed as an opera. This show was first created during the Victorian Age and intends to bring you back to this time period. The show was written by Sir WS Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan in the year of 1879. The Pirates of Penzance was first produced in the Fifth Avenue Theater in New York City on December 31, 1879.…

    These colors symbolize feelings, such as love, yearning, luxury, and even despair. The most important color of this story would have to be yellow and green. Green being Gatsby’s internal flame for Daisy that is ever burning, and yellow, representing wealth, an important aspect of the story, as we follow the wealthiest people of New York in this time. Color brings new perspective to our lives, influences emotion and keeps our minds…

    The actors had a lot of energy that undoubtedly captured the viewer’s attention. Each actor had a certain characteristic that made him or her truly fascinating to watch. They were able to interact with each and every audience member. This left me, a viewer, who was in the middle of the room, feeling as though I was in the play. The plays story may have been their biggest obstacle, however.…

    When the lights went off, all you saw was a green light glowing on the stage and I thought that was a very cool and creative factor to use because it gave a sense of alarm or danger to the play. Before the play began, you were able to hear old music from the 20’s which I believe really set a good mood for this play. I believe music set a mood to the audience and gave them the feeling that everything was going to be okay and that this story was going to end on a happy note. It also gives a tone to the audience without saying anything that the play is set in a past era. The props, such as the walking cane and rocking chair, gave a very good identification of how the characters were physically feeling as the play progressed.…

    I decided to chose Object 1: Vincent van Gogh, Café Terrace at Night, 1888, oil on canvas, KröllerMuller Museum, Otterlo for my design summary/formal analysis. Two elements utilized in this piece of art are texture and color. Texture is the surface quality of a work (Dewitte, Larmann, Shields 62). Color is the optical effect caused when reflected white light of the spectrum is divided into a separate wavelength (Dewitte, Larmann, Shields 92). Implied Texture is displayed throughout this canvas.…

    Van Gogh uses color in a very deliberate and effective way in The Night Café. He selects the colors not based on his visual interpretation of the room but on the psychological and emotional effects it has on its occupants. He explains to his brother Theo, in a letter, that he uses the red and green in an attempt to express the terrible passions of human nature. The use of these colors helps to illustrate the intensity of the Café de la Gare and provoke the emotions of the viewer who may relate the bar scene to alcoholism or depression. He also balances the wooden browns and yellows of the lower half of the painting with a dark wooden clock adorned with a vibrant yellow face at the top of the painting.…
