Satirical Performance

Personally, I believe that every person should attend one theatrical performance. Before I became a high schooler, I had attended several performances, granting opportunities to grasp the culture that the fine arts produces. The fine arts has given the freedom to appreciate different worlds, cultures, and societies that are either fictional or true. Regrettably, the fine arts livelihood and strength are not as prevalent as it should be due to the egocentrism of America. Cultural diversity in today’s society has an unquestionable limited presence.
However the theater is still an active place to attend at Little Falls. I have performed in several theatrical entertainment performances along with several other high school students. Each play

    Arsenic And Old Lace Play Analysis

    Individual Diversity Involvement For my Individual Diversity Involvement assignment, I decided to see Arsenic and Old Lace at the Troy Civic Theater. The theater, run by the public, is a great example of a community coming together for entertainment and socialization. The performers ranged from a young age of nineteen to, what I venture to guess, around seventy-five. The show was the first play of their 50th season, and was chosen along with the other plays and musicals that will be shown during the season by a board of directors at the beginning of each season. The people involved with performances including the actors, directors, managers, and set members are not reimbursed for their time or performances.…

    Ethique: Peter And The Wolf By Alex Ross

    I agree with Mr. Ross’s view that the modern classical-music performance have too much of a rigid set of etiquettes. Concerts must become more flexible “in order to accommodate the myriad shapes of music of the past thousand years.” I’ve only been to a single concert in my life and that was when I was young during an elementary music class school trip to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for a viewing of “Peter and the Wolf.” As such I cannot say that I remember having experienced any rigidness and formality that Alex Ross speaks about in his article. However, it is my opinion that the protocol found in concerts has an underlying message that yells “curb your enthusiasm, don’t get too excited!”…

We have “Saturday Night Live,” that mocks current events and public figures. Parodies that have content of serious events, allows the audience to engage and be more aware.

    Prank Show Satire

    Watching the rain fall on “Dancing With the Stars” on Monday night had me a little nervous. Luckily the splashing was kept to a minimum and none of the audience got sprinkles. Still, it made me wonder. What would the producers think of next? Shaking while dancing (like an earthquake), wind (by bringing in dozens of fans) and the biggest possible element could be snow.…

    College Admissions Essay: My Passion In The Performing Arts

    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.…

    Dance Concert Review: Stream Of Consciousness

    Opening night, the dancers that performed in the University Dance Theatre production, had talent, agility, and graceful movements. The concert had a variety of dance genres, visual appeal, and emotions that each piece and the show overall represented. Humor, drama, and serenity were not emotions I thought I would receive while watching these dances. One thing I did not realize would make many of the pieces was how crucial and reliant lighting and graphics were necessary to make the piece more visually interesting. However, I was excepting similar dances and movements; even if, some pieces had comparable choreography and emotional appeal the diversity stood out.…
