Latency stage

Forward by Tlaloc Rivas deeply moved me while I was reading it. I found the dialogue to be emotionally powerful and the stage directions intriguing. The script affected me so much that I was almost afraid to see it on the stage. Unfortunately, however, I was very underwhelmed by KU’s production of Johanna: Facing Forward. Many of the scenes that moved me in the script fell flat on the stage, due largely to the actors’ lack consistent connection to their character and lack of energy. I saw the…

Intimate apparel can be described as a woman 's struggle during the twentieth century to either accept a role by her husband 's side; happy or not, as he was the breadwinner. Or to become independent and pursue career and life goals which for most women of the time didn 't end well. Intimate Apparel focuses on Esther, a thirty year old African American woman I believe Lynn Nottage wanted to be viewed as strong until her heart became weary for love. I believe this about Esther because, up until…

ignored. Some members will be happy to start moving through task-related issues, but some will try to stay in the comfort and ease of the forming stage. The severity of conflicts will depend on the organisation’s culture. Members may look to implement rules and clarify their roles to keep conflict at bay (Chimaera Consulting Ltd, 2001). This could well be the stage at which Modern Moa Limited staff fail. At this point more group members will begin to share their ideas and push creative…

appropriate setting to the audience. Not having an overbearing amount of scenery allowed for the audience to focus on the performers and what was happening. With such a small stage, there wasn’t much space to utilize, but the set designers did a great job of using what they had. Pictures were projected on the wall behind the stage to add to the physical scenery. Although not completely inappropriate, I didn’t think that this was necessary because it was usually clear where each scene was set.…

Dustin Mosko directed the production of Fuddy Meers, written by David Lindsay-Abaire and performed by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, which I attended on October 6, 2015 at 7:30 pm. I enjoyed this play and thought the actors did a wonderful job; I loved the set and the costumes did a wonderful job completing the character. The story was somewhat confusing to keep me engaged, but I feel like that was the goal of the playwright. However, I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. In this…

represent reality (Morgan, 2009, p. 91). The Lost Thing (2000) also presents a topic that poses the question; can one become lost within a society, and therefore lose our sense of wonder as we grow up? This is very appropriate for Stage 4, as I believe they are at a stage in their own lives where they are developing a sense of self-identity, or as Erikson proposed identity vs identity confusion; a time when adolescents are deciding who they are, and what they believe (Erikson as cited in…

When the curtains opened there were dancers lined across the back of the stage with tambourines in their hands. As the music started the dancers that were at the back, stayed there and everyone else started walking on stage and mingling together. It was as if they were at a gathering and just talking to each other. After a couple of minutes into this first scene, there happened to be a lot of duets…

set was well put. The actors had plenty of room to move and make their choices, and even the sides of the stage I thought would be left out were used quite a bit and very well. The lighting of the space was also very well executed. The choice to make an almost minimal light plot fit incredibly well with the overall dark theme of the play. The time where it was necessary to have the whole stage lit, it obviously was, however the choice of color they chose to be on the background and sides were…

I can see that they feel the excitement that I’m feeling in preparation for the end of my high school career. They seemed to be thinking about everything that was going through my mind on that stage as if they are being reminded of when they were having their graduation and the accomplishment they felt. I felt very connected with my parents at this point and I could see that they felt the same connection with me. When I looked into the crowd I…

struggle to keep her identity as a fighter pilot while still being a loving mother and wife. The show was held in the basement of the Longstreet Theatre in a small, dark room. There was one actress on stage, but it was obvious that the production involved several other people to pull it all together back stage. The show was designed so that the audience could see the actress playing the Pilot, a single chair, and a variety of projections on the draped ceiling. The elements of the set, although…
