Both pieces being so uniquely different from one another were interesting to compare. The ballet dance piece “Fragile” was more than true to its name the movements of the dancers were appeared to be as fragile…

The wide spectrum of music and dance in the Vijayanagara period is attested by testimony of sculpture. An attempt has been made to give an account of different aspects of the musicians and dancers in the Vijayanagara temples of Rayalaseema. The temple walls, pillars, adhisthana, gopura and other component parts display different models of musicians and dancers.…

I chose to attend the University Dance Theatre rehearsal because I really admire contemporary dance and wanted to watch what the dancers do “behind the scenes,” so to speak. I wanted to better understand the work that goes into the dances instead of just viewing the final piece, which I often do. I chose to watch a Ballet 1 technique class because ballet is a form of dance that I appreciate but never really understood and because ballet contrasts the modern dance rehearsal I viewed. I’ve always…

Jude and Curly throwing each other to the ground darting left and right across the stage. All while Laurey gasps dramatically covering her mouth with both hands in disbelief. The unexpected turn of event added to the excitement of “Dance Ballet” compared to “Jude is Daid”. During this performance it seemed expected for the performance to end in a fight. The addition of Laurey also seemed to contribute to the fight scene, her quick sudden movements around the stage running after Curly…

Everyone in the world has something they use to escape, mine happens to be dance, as it has come through for me at many instances in my life, one in particular that possessed a lot of meaning to me. I was a junior in high school and co-captain of my varsity dance team with an exhilarating week ahead because we had our first competition of the year on Saturday morning. On Wednesday of that very week, my best friend Hannah and I had decided to take an unusual route to school just so we could skip…
