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…

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…
We have been working on our small Ensemble group project. The ensembles are made up of different instrumentation. We did not get to choose our groups so it wasn't always easy to work together. During the project we learned a song all together and perform it in front of the class. Our Song had to have all the right rhythms, articulations, good tempo, and dynamics that stand out. Working in a small Ensemble was difficult at times. It was also very different to work in a mixed instrumentation…
introduced which revolutionised the theatre going experience for both dancer and the audience.Before the Romantic Era the theatres were lit by houselights which remained on throughout whole performances. When gas lighting was invented and brought into the theatres it became a major feature. During a performance, gas lighting took a more predominant role, whilst house lights were dimmed, creating a thoroughly ethereal effect. The slight flickering of the gaslights added a sense of 'eeriness'…
1. Grease 2. I watched the movie alone. 3. After seen this film I would not be surprised if people would be more inclined to buy hair grease. 4. This movie had a wide range of recreational activities which included, a dance, a fair, football, and hanging out at the ice-cream parlor. 5. Similarly, too footloose the scene at the dance showed a lot of the school coming together and enjoying themselves. 6. I had a hard time finding product placement for specific products. One thing I did notice…

Biff begins his speech by using precise and symbolic diction…
