The Cry me a River dance video contained a free, fast-paced, fluid form throughout its entirety. For the most part, I felt the expression was empty with an edge of annoyance at times. To me, the dance imitated a relationship that had ended and was in the process of finding closure. This was indicated through their bodies. Their were many female dancers and one male dancer. They all appeared to be the same age. I think the females represented all the memories he had with the ex he has just come…

Beau Lotto speech about optical illusion present that his intended audience for his discussion is adults that seemed older than forty years. Even though the audience is presented on camera during his speech, it is possible to know that his main audience were mostly adults because the topic that Beau Lotto chose and the way he expressed himself, including his vocabulary, was better directed to adults rather than young adults or kids. During his speech, B. Lotto included several strategies to keep…

A matinee performance on Saturday, May 20 (officially titled Here/Now No. 9) was perhaps the single most dispiriting afternoon I've ever spent at NYCB. The program presented six different works. By the end of the fourth week of the Here/Now festival the number of injuries was staggering -- every week had a multitude of casting changes. The dancers, usually so chipper on social media, had resorted to venting and more venting. Georgina Pazcoguin's wry line "To those who fell, to those who made it…

The main idea is that people in the community can’t feel pain and the have a lot of different rules and the they have a receiver that is the only person that can feel pain and know what love is. The old receiver will give Jonas a memory and when the old receiver will lose that memory and never remember that memory. I think that not being able to feel pain is weird cause you not experience the pain or the way you hurt peoples feeling but not knowing you did. “Don’t play it anymore” “I’m the one…

I walked through the chairs toward the conductor’s podium and felt as though hundreds of stares were burning into my back. I sat down next to my new stand-partner, and, despite her best attempt to hide it, her grimace clearly revealed her feelings. I couldn’t blame her: I was a seventh-grader playing in a high school level orchestra. She was a senior stuck with the baby. Making music in an orchestral setting is, at its core, collaborative. For the team to work, there must be trust. Of course,…

In my selected scenes, Act 3 scene 5 line 1 - 9, line 14 - 17, line 20 - 23, line 28- 36, Act 4 scene 1 to line 46, I play the Third Witch. In Act 3 Scene 5, my role is to act submissive and scared of Hecate. This is portrayed by using various techniques, such as levels, where in some parts of Hecate’s speech, I bow down to her. I also use space as I back away if she moves towards me. The Second Witch has similar roles to me. Because I do not have any lines while Hecate is on the stage, I cannot…

entertainment value of the script. Haydn Haring, the witch, stood out from the rest of the actors. Haring had the best comedic timing and took over every scene that she was in. Her energy resulted in strong musical numbers and a very memorable performance. Every time that Haring was on stage, it made the play more entertaining. On the contrary to Haring, Jessica Shamble, Rapunzel induced irritation every time she was onstage. I was happy when she got squashed by the mourning giant. The cast did…

Amidst the dark and cumbersome mood of Hamlet, love intertwines itself into the plot as a powerful theme. Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. Many characters throughout the play are motivated by their desires and emotional attachment to another character. This is most prominently seen through the protagonist, Hamlet. Although, construed as a beneficial, pleasant and good state of mind, love leads to loss, devastation and pain. The theme takes on a number of faces throughout…

Firstly, the prologue of the play acts as a quick overview of the main points in the play as well as setting the play up. “Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,”, this tells us that there are two rivalling houses in Verona, where the play is set. “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life”, this shows that two lovers from opposing families fall in love and commit suicide. The role of the prologue is to give a basic outline of the plot and its…

artistically during a performance than in class. I think it is due to the energy in the atmosphere. When I step onto stage and the lights are on and the audience is in the dark, there is an energy present between the dancers and the…
