Freaky Fridays Dance Concert Report

Improved Essays
The Freaky Fridays Dance Concert by Clayton Productions was an awesome show. It was a well preformed show with good music, costumes, lighting, and dancers. The show was very freaky and spooky. The dancers in the show all wore torn, ragged costumes and dark make-up around their eyes and light foundation to make themselves look like zombies. I think this was very effective. The dancers looked spooky, creepy, and frightening. Everyone in the show stayed silent unless they were singing, growling, walking like a zombie, or coming up to people to scare them. The dancers not only danced they performed the role they played. The lighting helped make the dances seem spookier and helped make the dancers’ costumes and make up more realistic. The lighting was very dark with red and brown-pink colors and was used in a way that cast deep shadows on the dancers. This made a freaky show seem even freakier. The lighting was effective because it enhanced the dancers’ make up and the freaky ambiance that I believe the creators of the show desired. There were not any props used other than microphones, however there were a few stage decorations. The stage was decorated with a coffin, a few trees, a chandelier with cobwebs on it, and many bats, pumpkins, and other Halloween decorations. There was a lot of glitter on the …show more content…
The performance was the perfect length, just when I started to get somewhat tired of watching zombies dance, the show ended. The music, lights, costumes, decorations, singing, and style of dance all showcased the freaky theme perfectly. Although the dance concert was amazing, I would have improved some of the dance moves. Because of the lack of space on the stage, all the dancers seemed to stay in one spot the entire number. I would have loved to see fewer dancers per number, allowing for better use of the stage space. Overall, the dance concert was one of the best local productions I have

    In the beginning and at the end they played some old Italian type music as the dancers moved as one person and this gave the impression of a sort of warm family vibe throughout this section. There was also an instance of an extremely loud and almost uncomfortable sound during a portion in the middle which allowed the mood of the audience to switch to disturbed or uneasy, which was simultaneously reflected in their dancing and movements on and off the main “dancing portion” of the stage. A powerful instance which occurred a couple times was when the music shut off completely and there was only the audiences breathing, and the heavy panting of the dancers that could be heard throughout the theatre. This clearly intentional choice not only made the concept intriguing, but it allowed the audience to a feel a level of connect and grounding with the dancers as well. Much of the music reflected the different colour changes on screen as it was more serene during the cloud projection, but it was fast and very loud when the screen went to red.…

    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…

    As the curtains went up, the audience was present with a metal structure that was the bottom of the Eiffel tower. This beautiful metal structure made me only excited to see what the rest of the sets would look like. The lighting right off the bat was extremely elegant, being that the majority of the lights had a shade of purple. This set the feel of the Parisian world that the audience would be taken on. Before I saw the show, I imagined the stage being much bigger than it actually was in reality.…

    The play that I went and saw was Rent at the Hal Todd Theatre. The venue was a thrust theatre because it had seats facing on three sides for people to watch the play. The playwright of this play is Jonathan Larson and it was directed by Buddy Butler. This play was a musical, which was fun for me because I had never seen a musical before. This play had many aspects to it, including love and friendship.…

    Holidays, in addition to being a festive time for celebrating with friends and family, is also a time to enjoy classic fine arts together. A stable every Christmas season is the Nutcracker, which the literature is republished in multiple forms including play, dance, and orchestra concerts. This season I had the pleasure of being a audience of The Nutcracker presented at the McCaw Hall. The show was phenomenal, and included moments of cheerfulness and happiness, but during others moments of grave danger and suspense. The performers applied contrasting bodily techniques and motions to express different emotions, and wrapped up the scene with appropriate props and decors that awed the audience ever time the stage came to light.…

    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 found the use of dramatic lighting to play the largest role in the ghost scenes where inflicting fear was intended. In singular, flashing fluorescent colors of white and green gave great detail. The sound designer used simulated reality to portray realistic sounds in the play as man-made, and not technological. This made the play feel legitimate, and less like a performance, as if I was observing it in the real world. The set, however, was the most enticing of all the visual effects.…

    The formation of dance has lived on this world for many generations as we continue to pass through history. When I went to the wonderful performance at Pierce College I experienced a whole new perspective on dancing. The concert had many types of students performing mixed dance projects of all types like solos and duets. There was an average size of one to eight dancers per project which made it the ideal size for the concert. I really enjoyed the creativity and effort put into this performance.…
