Performance art

little I pranced about out of joy, found comfort curling up my body to watch dance videos or stretching out my limbs to release negative energy. As I became more fond of dance, a strong appreciation of ballet grew within me. I loved the structure of the art and always aspired to be half as talented as the “big girls” in my youth ballet company. As I have grown, I have been able to explore movement a lot more, and hope to learn much more…

Dance is a form of art that is shown through the movements of the human body. The two dances I observed was a beginning Latin technique dance class and a Choreography III dance rehearsal. I had never seen a rehearsal or technique class like the ones I have watched before.

For my final project, I chose to collaborate at the J-cat Cultural Arts Theater under the supervision of Michael Andron. The play that I collaborated on was called “Shrek the musical”. My initial duty in this play was to control the character’s microphones. However, due to low tech staffing, I was offered an open position in lighting, and even though I did not get the chance to be in the booth to control the microphones, I was able to see how both sound and lighting played an important role in…

Ballet takes strength like a weightlifter, endurance like a swimmer, flexibility like a gymnast, grace like a diver and coordination like a hockey player.

Ballerinas gracefully glide along the stage almost as if it takes no effort. Many people travel all around the world to see a beautiful ballet since not everyone can perform them gorgeously.…
