enough for disseminating the art. Also, the attendees of the play basically were all old people, which seems were all over 50 years old, so the organization did not advertise the play broadly. A successful art organization should bring young engagement into their community and use the youth to spread the art spirit. Maybe the organization should put their detailed information on other popular social media as well, such as instagram and snapchat. Secondly, performance environment is also an…

by Sergei Radchenko, the audience is left on the edge of their seat at every stage of the three act performance; from the curse set on The Sleeping Beauty to the moment she falls in love and gets married. The captivating story of the Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora) involves multiple elements that all add to the success of the performance in their own unique way, which create a wonderful work of art. This is precisely why Marius Petipa’s choroeogrphy is considered to be at the top of the…

as Brecht calls it, the guise of the fourth wall and all pretense that the performance that is being viewed is anything other than a performance are done away with and in doing so the actor sequences the duty of empathically appealing to their audience in a traditional sense (i.e. attempting to provoke an emotional response from the audience).

October 4th, the Northern Michigan University music department’s Jazz band held a concert at Reynolds Recital Hall on campus. The music was surprisingly quite varied compared to what I had expected and the musicians were clearly talented. The entire performance was very impressive and it was neat to see fellow students performing and displaying such skill. Ultimately, I was glad to have attended the concert, despite the fact that I don’t particularly enjoy jazz music. The entire concert…

First Friday at Railroad Square Art Park is an experience to say the least. This November was my first trip there, after being persuaded for weeks by my friends. I’m a major art nerd so they thought it was going to be undeniably enjoyable for me being there, however I was already warned there would be countless hipsters at the scene. Nothing against hipsters, but that just didn’t sound like my kind of rodeo. Nonetheless they were consistent and convinced me to get out of my comfort zone and just…
