Cabaret

Dada was an anti-art movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland in the early 20th century in 1916 (Young). The term anti-art refers to a rebellion against the war and destruction that had happened years before. It started as a response to World War I and the nationalism that it is believed led to the war (Elza Adamowicz). It was influenced by other avant-garde movements such as Expressionism, Cubism and Futurism (Craft). The name Dada is known to have been selected at random from a dictionary,…

Some of these productions include ‘We will Rock You’, ‘Blood Brothers’, ‘Starlight Express’ and a Vintage Cabaret. This variety of productions has helped me to develop my characterisation skills and has also given me experience working with adult drama groups and of performing extremely different character roles. Being part of an adult drama group especially…

Sonny’s Blue and How it feels to be Colored Me Music plays a prominent role in both “Sonny’s Blues” and “How It Feels to Be Colored Me” because it allowed them to find their freedom. During “Sonny’s Blues”, Sonny takes all the hurt and misery that he went through, and displayed it through the art of music. Zora in “How It Feels to Be Colored Me” expresses her freedom by listening to jazz music to escape her reality. Music saved Sonny’s life because he saw it as a breakthrough from all the pain…

Ryan Scopio Music 306 – 11:00am Mon/Wed Term Paper – The Bebop Era Bebop was born in the mid 1940's. During that time, the popular, dance-oriented swing style jazz was in mid demise. World War II and cabaret taxes had pushed musicians to shift from a big band formats to a small band formats and the bebop style musicians were given an open door. It was developed not from the creation of a new style, but because the old style could no longer work. Many older players, such as Armstrong and…

I believe that we shouldn't care about what other people think of us. While that is an easy statement to say, it takes some work to get to that point. I believe that rather than constantly worrying about how other people perceive us, we should just enjoy the fun experiences we have. Who wants to look back on an event and wish they would’ve had more fun, instead of being driven by how people may judge you? Now I'm not saying that we should just completely forget what everybody thinks about us, I…

The places his friends made him visit were some of the strangest in Thailand. First, he was sent to the backstage of the cabaret club in Bangkok to have a makeover which few special people would get this privilege. In the dressing room filled with racks of brightly colored costumes and accessories were groups of trans-women doing their hair and putting their makeup on, getting…

Got Power? In human nature, the thirst for more power will lead anyone to do just about anything, even to the extent of murder. William Shakespeare proves this through his play Macbeth, and uses the lead female character, Lady Macbeth, to show this. Once Lady Macbeth heard of the prophecy of Macbeth to become king, she made it her goal to do anything to reign as Queen of Scotland, alongside Macbeth. Similarly, Hillary Clinton, former United States Secretary of State, showed the same…

establishes pathos by first in paragraphs 6 through 9 by giving these sections a prideful feel. She makes it clear that she is proud to be black and is so unapologetically. She also displays a sense of understanding when in her flashback to the New World Cabaret where she becomes very aware that things that appeal to her because of her culture may not appear the the same to someone of a different culture. Lastly, she creates a feeling of being small in the very last paragraph where she makes it…

To fully grasp the importance of cocaine to the Expressionist poets and the movement as a whole, the history of substance abuse in literature and artistic circles of the years leading up to 1900 must be noted. Cocaine, while being a drug pharmacologically different from the choice recreational pharmaceuticals of the past, most notably opium and hashish, occupies a niche within the greater domain of drug culture among the Avant-Garde and the production of drug literature in particular. “The role…

When we think of slaves in America many of us picture what Hollywood has shown us the stereotypical mammy or Uncle Tom. We imagine dark skinned people, and even when we are shown those who are of lighter complexion it is obvious that they are of African American descent. In our limited knowledge, we assume that slavery at the time was a black and white issue. Either someone was a slave or they weren’t. This was not always the case. Not all slaves were dark some were light skinned and could…
