Lighting up the Dance Community Let 's face it, technology in the 21st century has influenced an abounding number of things, from how we go about socialising with one another to the simplest tasks like online shopping. It is therefore no surprise that technology has also impacted the performing arts and managed to further integrate technology with the dance communities. Alas, people have witnessed such complexity through the use of technology in two contemporary pieces such as, Gideon…

that’s how I felt about going to my very first dance camp. Even better something really awesome happened to me.It was something that has never happened to me ever before. As I was on my way to camp I had this feeling inside of me, I felt sick, my stomach was tight, and I was very shaky. As we arrived I was so amazed at how many teams there were at camp. I could not believe my eyes. Some spirit groups had only about ten girls, and other spirit groups had about thirty girls. Later own that day we…

their dance performances. Hence, the different forms of art such as poetry, dance and music all have a way of creating a connection between the audience and the presenters. They are like a bridge that joins the two sides together and allows the audience or the reader to experience an emotion or aspect of life that at times might not have be acknowledged. Williams creates this sense of unity and allows the reader…

Live Dance Performance Critique The performance that I went to see was Elevate at Lipscomb University. The show consisted of twelve different pieces choreographed by Maggie Pelton, Kari Smith, Tosha Pendergrass, Leigh Anne Ervin, and Curtis Reed. The performance showcased students who weren’t not necessarily even studying dance. I found that extremely surprising that Lipscomb even offered a program that allowed dancers to get involved. By doing sol, the talent was very diverse and defiantly…

The set is clean and empty; it is a blank canvas. There are plain colours on stage, whether it be just a white light, or a light blue. There is someone on stage. They are not female; nor are they male. They just are. This is THE CHARACTER. THE CHARACTER is in a limbo of sorts. THE CHARACTER did not mean to pass away -- they did not want to pass away. The mystery to the audience, however, is how did THE CHARACTER pass away. All we know, as the audience, is that the character is not ready to come…

had them. I imitated countless Michael Jackson dance steps. Then I continued rehearsing and training for my performances more than anything in my life. At daybreak I cavorted on the dead grassy schoolyard by myself because nobody played with me or appeared to appreciate what I did… at least that’s what I originally assumed. Droves of kids accosted me and said shit like, “What the hell are you doing?” I replied, “I’m just practicing so I can dance like Michael Jackson.” Some sprogs expressed…

Ballet is an artform that, like any other, takes time to perfect. The sooner you start to work on your trade and realize the passion you have for it, the sooner that you are able to strive to perfect and chisel away at it. Most professional dancers start at a very young age, anywhere from three on. Because there are so many less men compared to women, men can usually get away with starting at a later age, say 12 to 14 or even a couple years more. I started, from scratch, when I was 18 years old,…

Acceptance in a community is crucial for a healthy, fulfilling life. In Dancer and Shinny Game that Melted the Ice, an examination of the protagonists; Clarissa and “the one who went away”, and the mood in the stories effectively set the tone for the importance of belonging. The authors use of symbols, mood and character traits demonstrate this importance of belonging in a family, whether it be biological or not. Clarissa, a young foster girl from an Assiniboine tribe came to live with a new…

this by the types of motions displayed by the dancers. While each of the dancers performed different movements, they seemed to be in unison. Also, the uniforms worn by all dancers created a visually homogeneous performance. The style of contemporary dance was used for the performance. The dancers displayed a combination of the strong and controlled legwork of ballet along with modern dance’s stress on the torso. Also, a lot of floor work was incorporated in the performance. Some dancers slid…
