Some of the requirements to be able to go on pointe is to be at the age of ten and a half or older, have at least two years of ballet training, and consistent in attending ballet classes for at least four and half hours a week.

Symphony held a farewell performance in the Meng Concert Hall. Jean Ferrandis, a flute player and Bill Cunliffee, the pianist were two faculty artists of the night’s concert. The performers were elated to show off the songs they have worked hard on as a group. The show consisted of a variety of songs from classical, jazz, and mash ups of popular songs that entertained the audience and represented how well the orchestra worked together to create the night’s goodbye performance of the spring…

Earlier that evening inside the same stone Auditorio Nacional, director Spike Jonze had given a conference on “breaking the mold” in independent…

completely distracted by the audience which could possibly ruin an entire performance. However Stanislavski saw this problem and found ways to counteract this problem. It was difficult however because Stanislavski did not want the actors just to forget the audience, I also think that forgetting about the audiences existence is a bad idea because it is in a way going against the whole purpose of the performing arts/performances which is to entertain people/the audience so just forgetting about…

in support of fields in communication and the arts. In the United States, this argument lives in the desire to reduce funding to the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA). In fact, many current conservative leaders wish to eliminate it completely arguing that funding the arts is neither the government’s responsibility or fiscally prudent.

Aristotle’s Coercive System of Tragedy • Aristotle’s philosophy/tragedy (obey rules, no rebellion) - character of the tragedy would be antisocial, rebellious. His characteristics and ambitions lead to tragedy happening to him. Through the theater, Aristotle would fear members of audience who share the same qualities as the main character does.…

a sparrow. They wield the weapon of beauty with the grace, seemingly trained in the art of flawlessness. Whirling an inch off the floor as would a sycamore leaf just about to hit the earth, they hide the treasure that is strength with the mask of one trained in the art of seeming weightless. Slipping effortlessly from foot to foot they deliver the gift that is performance with the presence of one trained in the art of precision itself. They bow to the crowd with the relief and joy for they have…
