Dance @ Wright was presented by the ECU School of Theatre and Dance. An event, performed by a variety of dancers that collaborated essential moods for their entire performance. The mood and the mode of representation of the dance became a key aspect of the performance. As a viewer, I ask myself did the music accommodate the performance or vice versa. Did the choreographer focus more on the alignment of the body or did he or she portray realistically on the physical and design elements? What…

of this performance and the name of it clearly influenced one another because of the attempts at courting in the Pas de Fiancée and the “lovey-doveyness” of Vivaldera. There were stunning scores written by Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi along with breathtaking costumes from the Royal Ballet designed by Jean Percival and by the company’s director, Ricardo Mendelez. In the theatre, Todd Rosenlieb and Ricardo Mendelez had a period of discussion with their audience members before the performance. They…

This specific conversation is a catalyst of social justice engagement because we discussed queer theory, race, and social class in response to how dancers choreograph and who is able to attend performances. John discussed that growing up being a dancer meant that he would live a life being economically unstable. But because he was a white upper class male, his access into the dance world was different than say a black woman attending Hollins. …

On the evening of Wednesday November 9th, I attended a performance of The Antigone Project: A Play in 5 Parts by the University of West Georgia Theater Company in the Black Box at the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts. Idealized from Sophocles’ original play Antigone, this production had some gut-wrenching moments, as well as moments that left me as an audience member befuddled. One major aspect that caused confusion was deciphering each new scene. Other than a few props, the scenery for…

The PowerPoint eight sheds a light on my knowledge and understanding about ballet. I am totally astonished to learn in the “History of Ballet” video that King Louis XIV was the father of this kind of art form. That is probably why I always feel and view ballet as one of the most graceful and classy types of dance. Even though ballet is typical and unique with five basic steps or positions that were invented by King Louis XIV and still applied till today, it has a wide variety of aspects and has…

State of the Arts Sunday in the Park George is colorful musical written by James Lapine with music written by the world-renowned Stephen Sondheim.

A rendition of this outstanding musical was recently playing over the past three months on the Guthrie Theater’s Wurtele Thrust Stage. The story revolves around Seurat himself along with a multitude of characters pictured in…

least twice at night. With assistant Director Dawn Marie Moe giving critiques in between so they can get better. “The Orphan Train is a serious play, which mixes it up from last years play “How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying” The art and woods classes have been a major part in helping One-act build sets this year. Costumes take some of the rehearsal time. They like to rehearse in our costumes to make sure that we are comfortable in them and work with our props so that we look…

awe-inspiring lesson. It was intriguing to read the script, memorize it, and perform it onstage in front of my whole class, I never thought I’d be able to carry out the performance, especially with all the trouble I had at the start. Without the help of my supportive partner, Alex I would have not been able to execute a satisfactory performance.…
