Delicatessen was a ninety-nine minute movie, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Carc Caro filmed in 1991, starring Dominique Pinon, Marie Laure Dougnac and Jean Claude Dreyfus, which was a weird, black and dark, and also romantic movie. This movie has not been introduced any backgrounds such as country or era, however, it was obviously happened in a period of time that people were suffering economic crisis, poverty and starving so that people became cannibalistic. The whole movie were framed in…

1. This painting includes a man and a woman kissing by a window. The couple is standing near an open window with four openings and light curtains. Looking out of the window there are 3 human-like figures and a tall, dark, green tree. There is also a building with multiple windows, some windows are dark and some have light coming out of them. 2. You can tell that the couple is kissing though, neither of their faces have any facial features on them. Them kissing, represents an act of love…

Museum Overview Since the beginning of the semester I looked forward with great anticipation to the ART class’s field trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It had been since the late 1980’s since I had been there. It’s hard to believe that such a magnificent building was right out my back door and I had not frequented it. Driving separately that day I parked in the surface are parking for mia guests. Walking up the sidewalk toward the building one could not help but noticed the…

Last evening I attended opening night of Romeo and Juliet. Since I am not as well versed as many of you on the technicalities of ballet, my review will be strictly my impressions and appreciation. For me, the performance had its ups and downs. The audience, including me, was most energized and excited by two elements: (1) the strong performances, swordplay, energy, and command of the stage by Joaquin de Luz as Tybalt and Daniel Ulbricht as Mercutio. Wow! Both command the stage and Ulbricht had…

Before I went to my lab critique I was pretty nervous. The reason is because, I didn’t want to mess up and also I was nervous about what scenario that was going to get. I mean a lot of people may have felt this way too. But, I knew that I had to be prepared for anything. So, when I to my lab critique, the scenario that I got was basically where the patient had an ankle fracture and I had to help her with getting out of the wheelchair, help her use the crutches, and teach her using the stairs. So…

This dance event hosted by the department of theater and dance at Montclair State University was a spectacular event that you would not want to miss. This dance event ,that took place in Alexander Kasser Theater, had six dances and one dance film. My favorite thing about the dances were the effort that all the students put into it and all the light action. Also the costume were amazingly designed and flowed with the themes of every individual dance. The name of the event is Danceworks 2016. This…

This semester I had the opportunity to see The Nutcracker, performed by the Texas Ballet Theater, as one of my required professional performances for intermediate ballet. Watching this production was a “revelation” to me. The Nutcracker is an extremely well known ballet, yet I had never been given the chance to see it until this year. As someone who grew up in the dance world I had always heard the familiar compositions that are found within The Nutcracker, however, I had never seen professional…

On the 26th of February I attended a trio concert at the Dr. Bobbie Bailey & Family Performance center. The concert consisted of three musicians including Charae Krueger (cello), Robert Henry (pianist), and John Warren (clarinet). I arrived at the Morgan Hall around 8 o’clock, which was the start time for the concert. As I began to approach the hall, I knew that I was in for a treat. The hall itself carried a sense of professionalism, but also almost a welcoming note that made me feel…
