    The music design of One Flat Thing Reproduced was quite complimentary to the entire essence of the composition. Right at the beginning when you watch the two dancers eerily crawl under the tables in the shadows, you begin to hear equally as unearthly noises courtesy of Thom Willems (music director). These sounds, which can hardly be considered music, continue throughout the entire piece. The music would change at times and never distinctly following any type of pattern, while it also allowed the dancers movements to be heard. This greatly allowed for the emotion and story to seep through without being suffocating, leading to a more natural work.…

    I do not believe that Veronese’s painting entirely captures the essence of the Wedding at Cana parable as depicted in the New Testament. In particular, the painting does illustrate the occurrence of a joyful wedding feast, along with the inclusion of finer details such as the servant transferring wine from a large stone pot into a much smaller gold pot, and another servant offering a glass of wine to the bride and groom. However, even though the painting was vivid in color and grand in scale, I find the parable to focus more so on the importance of Jesus’ miracle to his followers. Resultantly, I would have liked the depiction of Jesus to be of a greater focal point within the painting. For instance, such as Jesus’ interaction in the parable.…

    The Wedding Dance Pieter Bruegel has “the Elder” attached to his name because, he is the eldest of the Flemish Renaissance painting Brueghel Dynasty. Pieter is at the top of that dynasty, and following in his footsteps to become painters are, his two sons, two grandsons, and one great grandson. There is one difference between them Pieter is the only one who left out the “h” in the family name Brueghel. Pieter Bruegel was a Netherlandish painter and much of his works provide a profound elemental of insight into peasant life or one could say a representation of the everyday life of ordinary folk. Not a peasant himself he still received the nickname “Peasant Bruegel” the first reason is because he would go undercover as a peasant so he could paint them in their natural environment of everyday life without disturbing them to act differently and the second because that is what he painted, peasants.…

    Art never occurs in a vacuum; there are always contextual clues as to why artists create, which derive from social and political history. Artists in completely different eras can experience similar events that potentially create analogous products. An artist connection that I find interesting is Marcel Duchamp’s influence on the choreographer, Merce Cunningham. Duchamp, as a Dada master of the early 19th century inspired Cunningham’s work, Walkaround Time. The set design and the overall movement quality of the work was inspired by Duchamp's piece, The Bride Stripped Bare of her Bachelors, Even.…

    Upon attending the International Chamber Music Festival Concert, a certain ecstatic vibe could be felt as the performers walked on stage with their musical instruments. The virtuoso’s performed in pieces that contained trios, duets, and quintets; showing the concentration they required when listening to each other. When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other to carefully listen for the melody. The first performance, was from Mosaics, by Eric Ewazen, only introducing the first movement: I. Barcarolle. The performers Dr. Susan Berdahl (flute), Dr. Xiaohu Zhou (bassoon), and Dr. James Moyer (marimba), all played outstandingly and show cased exactly how Chamber Music is meant to be played.…

    Greek and Elizabethan theatres used orchestras to create the music and sound effects that accompanied a performance. This production used recorded sounds that were played at different points in the performance by a crewmember controlling the speakers in the room. One instance of the use of sound during the productions was the scene where the Creature must perform for the Movie Director and the sound of the music and camera rolling was added as the Movie Director asked for it. This addition of sound to the scene also provided another way for the performance to localize setting without relying too much on the audience’s…

    I chose to look more in depth at chapter 11, Theatrical Space and Production Design. I never really thought about the different areas in which a play could be performed and realizing that there were many different spaces and stages in which a play could be put on I was very intrigued. It was also interesting to read about how much work goes into production design. By reading this chapter I became very well informed about not only the different stages and performance areas in existence but how much time and effort went into all of the production design, which in turn helped me to choose which stage area would be best for a production of Noah and His Son.…
