I will; I Seek was performed and choreographed by Mariana Orozco Arango, who costumed the work herself and collaborated with three musicians, and a lighting designer, to help create her piece. All aspects are crucial in understand, analyzing, and interpreting Arango’s work. Throughout her solo, Arango passionately, chaotically, and desperately seems to search for something as she frantically propels herself through space. Specifically, the intimate size of the flexible stage and black box…
production of this performance was made possible by the courtesy of the department of theater at the Ohio State University. The play was directed by Maureen Ryan and produced by Lesley Ferris. The play’s setting was of the 21st century. The costumes used in the performance were of modern times. Simple casual wears and other revealing sexual costumes were utilized.

play Fuddy Meers took the stage and put on a unique and exquisite performance. The play took place in the Temple Theatre which I found was a highly interesting venue. There were several different elements that I found greatly intriguing during the course of the ninety minute performance, however, there were a few elements that I felt were also lacking. The first element that I believed helped to add significance to the performance was the stage setup(1). The revolving setup of the stage was…
The performance “Vagabond” stood out to me because it was not just a typical dance performance. It was unique in the way that it translated music and dance into life stories. It was heart provoking and evoked emotion to the audience through unconventional movement. The dancers that performed were not afraid to get out of their comfort zone or surrender themselves to the ground. They developed a connection with the audience and pulled them in to see the real world around them. In introducing…
Commonly paved by either asphalt or concrete, streets are often viewed as undervalued, yet practical commodities that help ease the day-to-day lives of human beings. Rarely are they appreciated as avenues that connect people to one another, just as it was shown in the play General Tinio St. by Atong Rodillo. The show was held at the PGH Science Hall back in September 31, fog and dimmed lights signalled the start of the show, and a dance number to a special rendition of Beep Beep by Juan dela…
Halloween is a great opportunity to make anything believable, because the world becomes a stage, and everyone has a chance to become their favorite superhero or character. Halloween is awesome because it's a time of year when people can drop their judgmental attitudes and accept one another as they are. A case in point is a Halloween dance party just like the famous Star Wars "scene in a bar" where Chewy and Han Solo find creatures and aliens of all different species laughing and drinking and…
significant role in contributing to the V-effect in Brechtian theatre. When there is a break in the dramatic action, this prevents the audience from becoming over-absorbed in the world of the play, allowing them to reflect and examine the issues presented. Poetry and song act as these interruptions in a great deal of Brecht’s work. According to Benjamin ‘like the pictures in a film, epic theatre moves in spurts. Its basic form is that of shock with which the single, well-defined situations of…
corner of the setting might have raised the emotions of fear and anticipation of what is to come or what can happen from this tempest conjured by Prospero. A scene from the play shows the urgency and rapid elevation of tempo and the actors’ dramatic performance of agitation and fear during the part of the Yolanda survivors where they search for those (family…) that has been separated from them. There was also the sense of confusion of where they are heading—the feelings of loss and…

I am used to receiving compliments and praises when I was a kid. My parents, teachers, and friends always motivate me and it makes me boost my confidence to myself. I felt comfortable being a good girl who always has an achievement. As a matter of fact, I never really felt to be criticized and downgraded by another person until one day. That is the time when I was questioned about my talents and capabilities, I lost my confidence in myself, and then I realized that I am capable of achieving…
