Performance bond

Failure is the act or instance of failing or proving unsuccessful. When someone fails at something it often makes them feel discouraged or apprehensive, but I have learned to look at failure differently. Failure to me is an opportunity. I have attended SCPA for nine years now, and before I came to SCPA, I went to Schiel. At Schiel you had the luxury of participating in multiple arts. Along with academics, each day of the week would be focused on dance, art, vocal, or instrumental music. Dance…

The art of contemporary dance was born around the 1980’s and this art referred to the movement of new dancers who did not want to follow strict classical ballet and lyrical dance forms, but instead wanted to explore the concept of revolutionary unconventional movements that were gathered from all dance styles of the world. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. Contemporary dances therefore do not use fixed or established movement patterns but…

Have you wondered the reasons for making a sport? For example, if you play soccer, do you know what lead to you making the team? Years or practice? I researched some of the reasons why I think I made the cheerleading squad at my high school. I believe that taking dance lessons, stretching, rehearsing dances and cheers, and my academic record lead up to me making the cheer squad, something I enjoy doing on my freetime. Having experience in something can help you in the long run. I have been…

The simialrites between the production and the video is the actor will be walking the audience into his perspective of life and thinking deeply about it. As a movie producer, I will create a production starring Denzel Washington and a couple of extras about a man's seven stages of life which is an interpretation of William Shakespeare's "Seven ages of Man" scene in his play "As You. Like It". The story will be placed in a thrust theater stage as Denzel acts seven stages of life through the help…

The performances In the Middle Somewhat Elevated and Spartacus resemble and differ from each other in several ways. The execution in Spartacus in which Phrygia is taken away is similar to that of In the Middle Somewhat Elevated; both employ similar moves as they are both ballets. The two performances seem seem to imply some sort of romance going on with the duo dancing in each. Both dances imploy music that fits the style they’re going for Spartacus with an orchestra and In the Middle Somewhat…

Change is inventible, it may be for the best, or it may be for the worst. Many people are thrilled by change; however, when their actions hinder on the happiness of others, call of action must be made. Time changes everything. Our predecessors always talked about morals, values, loyalty and meaning. Everything they did had a meaning to it, whether it was funny or corny, everything came with a moral lesson. Many others fear change; these fears come from the idea that everything passed down from…

Some kids are interested in video games. Some kids are interested in baseball or in musical instruments. Some kids are interested in drawing and painting, but I was not one of these kids. I was interested in skateboarding. As a kid I was captivated by professional skateboarders flying through the air, spinning around on the back wheels and . Though I lost interest in the skateboard as a middle school student over the past two years it has become an obsession again. Skateboarding…

Dance Tramp was a dance performance like I’ve never seen before. There were times throughout the performance where I had no idea what was going on or why. I wouldn’t even be surprised to find out that the performers didn’t either. The show was essentially a compilation of silliness and humor that I’m glad to have witnessed. The most ridiculous of all was the part at the very beginning, where two dancers were wearing a conjoined black costume and spun around the stage holding a bouquet of…

allowed me to expand my knowledge of dance outside of my previous training with professional choreographers. During the fall semester, I learned the choreography of “Turn on the Blacklight” by Teena Marie Custer. This piece was the most successful performance for me as I was able to apply my jazz and hip-hop experience. Not only did I learn the choreography of “Turn on the Blacklight”, but a choreographer, Meg Schriffen, came in and taught a piece her company performed known as “Cosi Si…

Growing up, I took ballet once or twice a week. I had an instructor at my old studio who really gave me my ballet foundation when I was young. I finally realized how important ballet was when I was in eighth grade or about freshman year of high school. However, I had no classes available for me to take besides twice a week with the same instructor. When I moved studios senior year of high school, I started taking ballet 3-4 times per week with an instructor that really educated, pushed, and…
