    Joseph Cornell Play Analysis

    Sometimes there are parentheses that separate the stage directions from the dialogue. However, there are other times when the stage dialogue and stage directions run together and it seems to be the director's decision if these stage directions should be spoken or not. It is not like a play where the act changes to a different place and it is known that the story is continuous.…

    Vaudeville In Harlem

    The Mexican school wasn’t essentially a school but rather than a group of artists that believed the same thing and expressed with different ways. Every artist expressed it with different techniques, ideas, styles, and procedures. Each artist that was involved with the Mexican school created images to express the problems that were presented at the time. Some problems that were occurring are discrimination, dictatorships, and abuses of minorities. African American artists understood these views and collaborated since they nearly settled in the same cities throughout the United States.…

    Broadway Musical Analysis

    When professor mentioned that we would watch and discuss about a Broadway Musical show named ‘Memphis’, the first that came to my mind was, the actual city Memphis in the southern state of Tennessee. I was still confused as to how a city and its activities could be incorporated into a Musical show, which is assumed to be entertaining with melodramatic components, dance and music. I had an assumption that it would be academic, political, boring since it is to be watched in a classroom setting and that a professor would not choose something entertaining or something of the liking of the younger generation. I deduced that this play might touch the topic of race since race defined how a person is treated in most southern states. I assumed that…

    Screen And Stage Entertainment: Similarities And Differences

    Screen and stage entertainment are very different; although, they seem to have strikingly similar characteristics and have many comparable features that some do not even realize. Stage provides live entertainment that creates a bond with the audience that can be the same plot but performed so differently each time. Screen is filmed entertainment that can have special effects and captivate every single detail but has no real connection to the audience. Usually, how a person feels about stage or screen entertainment is based mostly on preference and somewhat based on the time era they grew up in.…

    Shakespeare Stage Directions

    Shakespeare Stage Directions

    Stage Directions are instructions or guidelines that inform the director and the actors how to perform pieces of a play in order to give it meaning, action, and emotion. These directions include how a character feels throughout the play as well as necessary facial expressions like sticking the tongue out or sobbing in tears or just watery eyes and even picking the nose. An illustration would be, a character mother telling her son, “Take that finger out of your nose,” and if the child isn’t picking his nose then it wouldn’t make any sense for the character mother to say that line. Stage directions also include body movements such as walking away, running, slap in the face, pushing, fake fainting, fake fighting and various other movements. For example, an actor says the following line, “why are running,” and if the actor who he is directing the phrase to, is not running, then it would be peculiar for actor one to ask such question.…

    Analysis Of The Musical Rent

    April 29th 1996, Broadway’s Nederland theatre is sold out to capacity and the audience is gritting their teeth with excitement, but an overture is nowhere to be heard, the curtains are missing and the haphazardly placed lighting rigs have not yet dimmed. All at once, the stage erupts with cast members running in-between and out of the industrial themed set, a strum of a guitar is heard and a critically acclaimed overnight sensation is born in the image of Jonathon Larson. Adapted from the popular opera La Bohème, Rent the musical was created in the hopes of representing the minute bohemian culture of New York City at the end of the 20 century who were confronted with impoverishment, HIV and homosexuality. Going against traditional musical theatre…
