Choreography

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. Nonetheless, this was definitely a night to remember. Humor, grace, abrupt movements, and even using the technique in grabbing one of the audience members, Stream of Consciousness, was one…

I was initially interested in how throughout history there have been archival silences where certain events have been excluded from the archives due to the powers of the time deeming them unimportant. It is mainly female history that is unrecorded and the idea of silencing women because they are less important than men really made me think if there were times in my life where I had been silenced or told I was not allowed to do something because I was a girl. This was the idea I started to work…

performing and telling the story. Another thing that really worked well with the dance was all the different parts throughout the dance along with the formations. Never did I once get bored and drift off into space while that dance was on stage. The choreography was so dynamic and unique that you never knew what to watch because everything that was going on was so beautiful. Some things that could have been better about the piece was really committing to the movement along with the facial…

costume choices,but again going back to the theme the dance it matched the costumes. The costumes were very body sculpting and maybe King, wanted to audience to focus on the beautiful extension and shapes that are being made. In addition, the choreography is so complicated and captivating, that the focus really isn't on the costumes it's more on the movement and the…

hilarious to see the way the dancers reflected all the different dwarfs from the clumsy one to the shy one and the way they interacted with Snow White. This even made it impossible to tell whether the choreography was meant to look the way it did because you would see timing issues and choreography mistakes but because of the mood and the characters themselves, it looked funny and right at the same time. The queen was one of the outstanding dancers because she owned her role, from the moment she…

that does not shed light on the disadvantages of solitary confinement. The dancers were technically proficient in their performance because it was engrained in them. Their movements were on point and I was able to see the expressiveness of the choreography. The stage lighting really helped set the mood for song because of the burgundy and burnt orange colors on stage. Honestly, I did not like the song choice because I was expecting all of the songs to have only Tupac and not Jhene Aiko. I was…

Lakalaka is a dance form from the island Tonga, a small island between Australia and New Zealand. Lakalaka literally means, “to stride back and forth” and is one of the only Tongan dances to be considered truly indigenous (Shumway, 29). Lakalaka is a dance form that combines dance, poetry, and music to celebrate the “goodness of the Tongan way of life” (Shumway TWO, 468). I chose to research this dance because I know nothing about it and it seems to not be prevalent in many other countries…

6 Degrees of Separation: Jack Cole & Casey Nicholaw Six degrees of separation is a theory based on the idea that all people or things in this world can be “connected” through six steps or less. While it may be broad, and not always clear connections, it is very possible to connect any two people in less than six degrees. For this assignment, I will be connecting two famous dance choreographers: Jack Cole, and Casey Nicholaw. Though the two don’t seem to have much in common other than their…

Since the beginning of modernism in the 18th we start seeing art in different ways. It rejected the ideals of traditionalism allowing artist to expand outside their horizons to different mediums and techniques. From there forward we see all types of styles such as impressionism, minimalism, abstract, photorealism, pop art and more. Just like photography, dance is becoming more and more popular in the art industry. The acknowledgment that it has received recently its immense that dance is now a…

Here my ability in dance grew stronger and I was able to perform for many congresses and other shows. Throughout my dedication in Latin dance styles, I was able to become a professional Salsa dancer where I started to branch out and do my own choreographies. Furthermore, I commenced dancing Salsa at the age of seven in Lorenz Latin Dance Studio. Here I learned many mambo shines blending them in today’s world while dancing solo or with a partner. By the time, I was nine, my group and I performed…
