Performance art

Dance is an aspect that accommodates with emotions and displays creativity. This form of art is a major priority in my life. I have been a student at the Dance Depot since the age of five. Over the years, my skills progressed and this activity grew serious and challenging. As a young, inexperienced child, the exhibition symbolized a minor sport in my daily life. However, this current point of view changed dramatically on a summer afternoon in 2009. My mother received an interesting email from…

story and relived it yourself and make it your own . The thrill of bringing a writer's vision to the stage and give an outstanding performance. To have the ability of connecting a whole audience and making them feel emotions with your performance that’s when you as an actor feel like you have accomplished something . Acting has been around my family a lot or just the arts in general , my uncle is a professional actor in Dominican Republic who hustle to make…

choreograph complex actions, of which require intensive training; to put in affecting emotions, of which require deep thinking; and to put inspiring moods, of which require precise depiction. In fact, dance is probably the most profound and complex art form yet exists in our society. Nevertheless, the intention of dance before any cultural influences is to let people move along with music. The evolvement of Tap dance or stepping dance, a polyrhythmic dance form that integrates techniques of…

few that have a corner on the market: Their home, their world has always been the stage. And for those pursuing a degree from The University of Alabama’s Department of Theatre and Dance, their home, their stage does if fact span all the world—to performances of Hamilton and Kinky Boots and standing ovations at productions in Scotland and Ecuador. “We have been on a great run these past few years,” Bill Teague, professor and chair of UA’s Theatre and Dance Department, said. “Our students…

roots in Six Characters in Search of an Author, as it was so ahead of its time in terms of realism and naturalism on stage. In the vein of the original production, subsequent productions of the piece have strived for the same shock value the first performance held over its audience. Whether in the angry first audience, the more accepting and open later audiences of the era, or the modern audiences of today; the play evokes a strong sense of discomfort and ambiguity as directors and theatre…

Auditorium. The stars consisted of Janai Brugger a soprano, Sarah Mesko a mezzo-soprano, Sean Panikkar a tenor, Trevor Scheunemann a baritone, and lastly Brent Funderburk the pianist. These performers are apart of the S. Rudolph Alexander performing arts series. The audience consisted of a wide range of people; from college students to the elderly citizens of Greenville, NC. First, I would like to start off with one of the songs that immediately captured my attention, “Ah! Guarda sorella.” This…

a symphony. Due to this well-known stereotype, I was skeptical when I attended the Symphony of the Americas concert in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. However, much to my surprise I was entranced by the alluring symphony and atmosphere. The performance, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, paid tribute to both Italian and Hispanic composers by featuring music by Gioachino Rossini, Arturo Marquez, Gaetano Donizetti, and the legendary Ernesto Lecuona. Conducted by Maestro James…

but later found out that they were using it for that purpose. They came to the center without breaking the rhythm they had and even occasionally transform their instrument to produce the sound of guitar and piano. The thing I noticed during the performance was that the musicians were trying to voice out the sounds of nature by their music. Some of the sounds I listened were the sound of waterfall, wind, and a mixed sound of an airplane, and a fly. They even sometimes used the unusable parts of…

no doubt took alot of effort, stress, and love to make. The charecters were my second most faveourire pert of the play. Seeing the people in the background interact with each other brought (what I thought) another dimension withing the play’s performance. Hubert Jackoby wrote: “When a play is more than just the front stage, that is true dimensional theatere.” They mirrored real life, and their reactions were very fun to watch. One of my faveourite background charcters was the nosy newspaper man…
