of which came after WWII. His introduction to theater began in Moscow at the Moscow State Jewish Theater, but truly developed when he immigrated to New York during the Nazi invasion of Paris (Barron). Chagall was directly involved in the set and costume design for the Ballet Theatre of New York’s Aleko, the New York City Ballet’s Firebird, the National Opera in Paris’ Daphnis and Chloe and the Metropolitan Opera's 1967 version of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Chagall’s work with the theater is…

Pericles Play Response On February 21, 2016 the Guthrie Theater did a production of the play Pericles written by William Shakespeare. As members of the audience found their seats, soft music began to play and the light became low. Within minutes the entire theater had become completely silent. For about the next four hours the audience was captivated by the emotion, excitement, and humor of a story about one man’s incredible life journey. At its core, the Pericles displays the trials and…

next year in 2016. When I go Amelia, Hannah, and Bridget are going to go with me. Before we attend the festival we would need to get costumes. We could get these either from Bridget because she has outfits from the time period or if we would like to we could purchases costumes. If we wanted to purchase costumes they would be around $50-100. Besides the cost for costumes, during the day I am going to budget $30 for food and transport cost.…

Jack the Ripper: the Monster of White Chapel, by playwright Joe Dickinson. This play was honestly like nothing I’ve ever seen before. There were so many great elements to the show, the humor, audience interaction, props and just full of character to name a few.

It had the element of audience interaction that…

contributors to my enjoyment of the live performance; they were the costumes, the set design, and the body language of the actors and actresses. For instance, the costumes were very well done for a small local production. The play revolves around a divorced couple in the 1930’s, who run into one another while both on their honeymoons with their new spouses. Therefore, for me to enjoy the performance to its fullest potential, the costumes must appear time period accurate, otherwise I will be…

The Freaky Fridays Dance Concert by Clayton Productions was an awesome show. It was a well preformed show with good music, costumes, lighting, and dancers. The show was very freaky and spooky. The dancers in the show all wore torn, ragged costumes and dark make-up around their eyes and light foundation to make themselves look like zombies. I think this was very effective. The dancers looked spooky, creepy, and frightening. Everyone in the show stayed silent unless they were singing, growling,…

physically constrained environment will rule their lives and, by keeping them from acting on their justified impulses, stunt their happiness forever"i. Through the use of mise-en-scene depicted through the constructions of different sets and various costumes a theme of entrapment is created and enhanced throughout the film, providing commentary on how time and space may make one feel confound but it is a self-choice to stand behind and uphold the social norms of society; one allows oneself to be…
