Performance bond

The play revolves around the use of a single set, the living room of the bachelor Bernard. In order to capture the hilariousness of the comedy, I plan on using a small stage, a single set play set in the living room. The use of multiple entrances into the living room and the rapidity to which the characters come and go generate the timing of the play. That is as much a character Bernard Roberts and the stewardess themselves. The action of this play will be structured around Bernard timetable of…

and masks allow the audience members to become fully immersed into the production of the performance. Every detail of the performance is important and the costuming symbolises the attempt to fully enthrall each member into believing that the costume looked and dressed a certain way. The meaning of the costumes and masks is seen as being an extension of the character and the form of escapism within performances. The costumes tell a story to the audience. The details reveal the character…

The Pillowman, the name of the play sounds like it's a sweet and warm play but it is not. The pillowman is a very suspenseful play that had my heart racing. Although the play was really well put together, there were some aspects of the play that held it back from its full potential. First is the play's story. The pillowman get its name from a story in the play about a pillowman convincing children to kill themselves in order to spare them from a hard life. The Pillowman is the story of…

From the beginning of class till now, my interpretation of Jazz dance has evolved. Originally, I had no idea what Jazz dance was or what it consisted of. After being in the class for a couple of weeks now, my perception of Jazz dance is that it is an art style that involves multiple rhythms of the body, which coincides with music. To reiterate from the readings, I believe it is too complex to actually try to define what Jazz dance is, since everyone who performs it experiences it much…

The Physics Behind Figure Skating Growing up as a child, I always went to the RDV and saw girls my age participating in figure skating. That is when my fascination began. However, I could not join because I was already committed to dancing. Additionally, a movie came out on Disney Channel when I was younger; it was called Ice Princess. The movie centered on a girl focused on physics and she had a similar project as mine: looking at the physics of ice-skating. As she spent time videotaping and…

Naïve Art is the work of an artist with no formal training or lacking the rule of perspective. Naïve painting is described as fresh, childlike, also the use of strong rhythmic design and vivid colors. Fernando Botero’s Dancing In Colombia is a perfect representation of Naïve art. Dancing in Colombia by Fernando Botero displays a clear painting as a group of people playing music and dancing, possibly in a bar or café ( see figure 1). This image uses warm colors such as red, brown, and black. The…

opportunity to perform. I knew it was especially a difficult situation for them because we had been preparing extensively; we had multiple practices throughout the week that pushed us to our limits and tired us out. We had been working hard for these performances and it felt unfair to throw away the opportunity just because of an injury. In addition, my injury was not very severe; I knew if it was actually in critical condition, something that would require me to immediately be taken to the…

On November 8th, 2015 I viewed a recorded pop music performance of Selena Quintanilla titled “Selena Live”. The performance originally took place on the evening of February 26, 1995, at the Astrodome Stadium in Houston, Texas. The legendary Tejano music star, Selena Quintanilla, became one of the most famous Latin music artists around the world. She was referred to as the “Queen of Tejano”. Tejano music, also known as Tex-Mex is a popular music genre that blends European, Mexican, and U.S.…

along with her ensemble of Raga Blues that consisted of guests that included origins from India, Africa and Spain- Morikeba played the African Kora, Mamadou Tama played the Senegalese Tama and finally, Carlo Basile played the Flamenco guitar. The performance started off with Morikeba singing and playing the African Kora simultaneously. The sound of the Kora really intrigued me. It resembled that of a harp where Morikeba used only his thumb and index finger of both hands to pluck at the…
