fathers. The fathers love their sons but show it in very different ways. For example, one father works hard. He keeps the house warm by going out to collect wood for the fire in the snow so his child does not have to. The other is a drunken father who dances with his child, creating a bond through the time they spend together. My papa’s waltz is a poem about parents. The poem speaks of a young boy dancing with his drunken father. “The whiskey on his breath could make a small boy dizzy;”(cite)…
The 7:00 pm showing of the Senior Dance Concert comprised of six dances. These performances were one of a kind in their own specific manner, however, they were all hard to understand. The piece comprised of different movements and themes. The first dance was called "Synastry." This piece begins exceptionally dim. The majority of the entertainers are wearing distinctive types of clothing. The music in this piece helps me to remember music you would hear in a thriller movie, for example, Halloween…
The Fall Dance Festival took place at the Texas Tech Maedgen Lab theatre on November 18, 2016 at 7:30 pm. I watched the ladies dance while listening to the music. The music did not sound exactly the same to me as it did to other members who were able to hear. I was late and did not catch a seat in the center of the theatre, which is the seating I prefer because it allows me to hear between my left and right side of hearing. I had to sit on the right side of the auditorium instead. The place…
group of individuals who are exactly the same. Between February 25 and 26, 2016, the Connecticut College Dance Club hosted a performance entitled “Pivot,” in Myers dance studio which included thirteen pieces of original choreography by Connecticut College students. Kelley Fairman’s work, Atlas consisted of six dancers and was performed as the culminating work of the concert. The modern-inspired dance showcased each dancer’s strength while creating a narrative. Through the choreographed movement,…
piece that caught my eye was the Meprobamate choreographed by Abby Hinchley, I believe the dance was about a 1950s housewives, who were told how to live and who they were to be. I liked how each dancer was introduced separately showing that the second and third…
trying to get away. When he let’s go of her, she’s left devastated dancing in suffering. It’s the end of the scene, she’s dancing like a swan until everything goes to black. Which is also how the ballet ends, she dances like a swan but then kills herself. This scene ends with the dance, before the white swan…
The blinding stage lights shine on the boy in a dress twirling to music blaring behind him. Silhouettes of the audience screaming love at the queen and holding dollar bills out. He snatches up the attention. His lips follow the lyrics effortlessly as his body flops to the floor. Roaring applause, and the lights dim. His number is finished, and he returns to the dressing room, counting his dwindling tips. Jonathan Cleveland-Hindman, a 25-year-old queen known as Jexa Ren’ae Van de Kamp, took the…
as plural rather than singular, different members of the audience are likely to have different responses and reactions based on their personal background and experiences (Reason and Reynolds, ) While they consider this specifically in relation to dance, these varied responses could be extended to sports films such as ‘Rocky I’. In some cases a film will not promote embodied viewership, but rather, disembodied viewership caused by some kind of disconnect between the spectator and the spectacle…
Imagine a place where hundreds of people go almost everyday to see a couple of people perform live and have a good time with all their friends. I went to The Rave and this is where that happens. On my birthday, February 4th, I went to Milwaukee Wisconsin to see Excision perform along with 12th Planet, Cookie Monsta, Dion Timmer, Bear Grillz and Barely Alive. Excision has always been one of my favorite music producers since I was around 12 years old. The music he produces is dubstep, not everyone…
video I chose to analyze was “Don’t Touch My Hair” by Solange. The song comes from her album titled, A Seat at the Table, which was released in 2015. The video has a vintage look laced with diverse black hairstyles, eclectic fashion and interpretative dance moves. There are various scenes and camera angles used which include a simulated basketball game, a church choir, women at a swimming pool and dancing inside and outside an observatory. The song and video is about black women and their hair.…
