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…

One of an all time favorite drink mix is of course Kool-Aid, however, is there a new mix on the rise in the store shelves? While Kool-Aid powder has always been a go-to for many American’s dating back to 1927, a new drink mix has recently been sweeping the nation in the form of liquid called Mio. Mio is a flavor enhancing liquid stored inside a portable small container making it easily accessible to squirt into water bottles while you’re on the go. An estimated 80% of American’s know or…

Secondary Characters no more In their performances my classmates brought secondary characters to life in three different ways. The first way was to have multiple speakers, such as in Pear and Sheridan’s performance, therefore dividing the number of characters that each had to portray. The second was to have a stand-in character bring a role to life that might have otherwise been dismissed; this was evident in Stacy’s performance. The third was to change the point of view of the story, thereby…

thoroughly enjoys the juggler’s act. This piece expresses the juggler’s performance through descriptive imagery and conveys that the speaker takes pleasure in what the juggler does. For example, “it takes a sky-blue juggler with five red balls to shake our gravity up”(5-10). The author depicts the juggler in a vivid image, which portrays how attentive the author is to the juggler— this expresses that the author himself enjoys the performance because he takes note in what the juggler is doing,…

sound quality met my standards also. I think since “The Side Show” is a musical then all of the aspects music had to be up to par. The costumes and the music drew most of my attention. The production of the play also deals with the designs of the performance. All the costumes were amazing, but my favorite costumes had to be the fortune teller. Her corset was cute, but the costume fitted her personality. She wore the costume, she did not let the costume wear her. The costumes were very…

Dance theatre is what Pina Bausch’s specialty was and it was this new type of performance that created a unique style of dance that was designed to express reality.…

all changed with my first major mistake. I decided to go onto stage with a sore throat and as the performance began, it was quite obvious that something was wrong. I had managed to get myself on stage, but the actual performing part was beginning to get increasingly difficult. After singing one croaky note, it became apparent to the crowd that it would not end well. I quietly finished my performance and got off the stage as quickly as I could. At the age of eleven, I had my first major upset in…

In 1978, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil started working on a musical adaptation of Les Misérables in French. “This show was inspired by Alain’s visit to Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Oliver! in London.” (Musical World.) When Mr. Boublil saw the Artful Dodger he instantly thought of Gavroche and the idea of Les Misérables as a musical was created. They released a French concept album in 1980. In September of the same year a French director by the name of Robert Hossein staged…
