Performance appraisal

True, Andrew Bovell shines light on a modern day Australian family and reveals an unacknowledged truth about the struggles we face within our own families. Unlike the standard narratives structure, Things I Know to Be True, presents as an abstract performance narrating the last year of Frans life through…

A coworker named invited me to her daughter’s concert at Grand View University- Fall Music concert, on October 26, 2014 at 7pm. It was held at Luther Memorial Church. This small church was packed. It was uncomfortable, but it was free. The concert was presented by Grandview University’s Department of Music. My co-worker’s daughter is studying to become a music teacher. She is soprano singer. I did get to meet her before the concert. She warned me that the band was going to be bad…

with and without objects that create different sounds on a platform. The group of humans watching these performances vary in size from a small number such as eight to hundreds of thousands of humans in attendance. Concerts occur either outside where there is more space or inside their structures. The humans who attend concerts give the performing humans a currency to gain access to the performance. The more interesting sector of these concert is that they have different sounds attributing to the…

The UT Dallas School of Arts and Humanities presented a concert at the Jonsson Performance Hall titled “A Renaissance Faire.” They held showings October 28th & 29th from 8 PM to 9:30 PM. The show featured the UT Dallas Chamber Singers and students from Advanced Vocal Instruction. The concert singers preformed mainly a cappella, but they were also accompanied by accompanist Michael McVay, who played an electronic piano modified to sound like a lute. Kathryn Evans, the conductor, also accompanied…

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…

Trying to document my performance while doing the job proved to be difficult at times. In the second week, I was stressed at trying to get both done. My boss told me to just do my best and gave me some tips on how I could be more efficient. My motivation was low since my opportunity to perform was limited with all the work I was trying to do. In the fourth week, my boss told me that my performance was much better and that I had made far fewer errors. I still needed to work on understanding…

I enjoyed hearing everyone that performed. I was very blown away with this performance. I am very glad that this campuses faculty is so joined together even if it is doing small concerts like this. I wish that I was able to hear the second act play but I guess I will have to go back and go to their last concert that they are performing…

On September 30th I saw the preview of the production God of Carnage. It was written by Yasmina Reza and directed by Siena alumni, Shayne Peris. It was shown in the Beaudoin Theater in Foy Hall at Siena College. The play is about two married couples. The child of one of the couples hurt the child of the other one. They decide to meet to discuss what to do about the situation. What starts as a calm discussion, turns into a very heated debate. It turns into a very crazy evening for the two couples…

Classical Music Experience Have you ever attended a classical music concert where all sit silently and enjoy the performance? I have attended this wonderful concert on July 21, at 8 pm. This concert is an outdoor concert and it was located at Hollywood Bowl. The name of this concert is called “Rhasody in Blue” with Yuja Wang and Dudamel were the main performer. Because this is an outdoor concert, and it started when the sky already dark, so the weather was really cool which make the…

unorganized that come together that make the listener feel something in some sort of way. These sounds do not even have to mean anything at all. The sounds do not have to have any sort of rhythm or pitch either. However there is a line between a performance art and music. Some things people like to call music I do not. A good example of something I would not call music is a song by John Cage. John Cage’s song titled “4’33” is a song where the person playing plays nothing at all. To Cage the…
