Performance-related pay

In the past, I want to firstly address that I personally have attended some music concerts on Sacramento State’s campus. However, I had never before attended to a symphonic wind ensemble concert. Before the concert began, I had noticed a large amount of chairs on stage as I found this quite interesting. As it was about to begin, a large amount of musicians wearing black appeared on the stage and were performing a small warmup. As performers, they were a guest group. Once the lights were turned…

From the age of three, I loved ballet more than any of the other styles of dance or other extracurricular activities. I remember being backstage for dance recitals and looking up at the “big girls” with their beautiful pointe shoes. They would stand all the way on the tips of their toes and twirl around so easily. For years I would watch, mesmerized, dreaming of being a real ballerina and wearing my own pointe shoes. As my technique improved, my love of ballet grew. I looked at pictures and…

For this particular street roaming performance, they took their audience into lighthearted fun via dark and ominous passageways. At the Blue Creek Festival, they roamed the streets in period piece costumes with gothic undertones. The fare for the day was striped socks, bowler hats, exaggerated…

How pleasantly surprised I was after listening to the complete album—titled Enjoy Your Rabbit—to discover that (alongside a few strange sounds) it contained gorgeous music! Initially thinking that too many performances of it had been scheduled for the upcoming season, I look forward to watching Year of the Rabbit again and determine whether the orchestration devitalized to any extent Stevens’…

four-membered string ensemble - consisting of Olivia de Prato and Lauren Cauley on the violin, Victor Lowrie on the viola, and Mariel Roberts on the cello - played three modern composition in a concert that lasted about one hour. The quartet opened their performance with a piece titled Serashi Fragments composed by Lei Liang in 2005. The piece began abruptly out of the silence of the small audience. The four musicians each played one short, but jarring note that was subsequently followed again…

few that have a corner on the market: Their home, their world has always been the stage. And for those pursuing a degree from The University of Alabama’s Department of Theatre and Dance, their home, their stage does if fact span all the world—to performances of Hamilton and Kinky Boots and standing ovations at productions in Scotland and Ecuador. “We have been on a great run these past few years,” Bill Teague, professor and chair of UA’s Theatre and Dance Department, said. “Our students…

Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed was a delight to experience, no matter the gruesome aspects of the show. Overall, the production was fantastical because of the cast cohesion, the non-linear plot structure, the variety of set choices including the scale of them, and the range of technology used throughout it. As a theatre student, however, much of this was a learning experience to watch the puppeteers, looking for the production characteristics of the piece: how are they creating a…

Exposure to WSU As a kid who grew up in the suburbs of Detroit I was never exposed to the city of Detroit very often. Now I've been to for multiple events Detroit. I have been to various sporting events, concerts, car shows, art fairs, museums, family dinners and so on... So I’m not oblivious to what is happening in Detroit, but, I have never been to the Wayne State Campus and its surroundings. My first true experience of the Wayne State campus wasn't an official tour conducted by the school,…

Music is my passion, I appreciate all music genres, but I favour country music. I enjoy the simplistic instrumentation as well as the timbre of country vocalists combined with the minimalist dynamic effects and sound processing that is applied to recordings, providing country music with a natural and raw sound, which I hope to replicate in the music I create throughout my studies and career. I hope to have a career in the music industry, and studying for a degree in music production is the most…

after the movie renditions came out on the big screen in 2014 and in 1982. They also raved about the good performances throughout, especially those of the exceptionally strong performances by the actresses playing Grace and Miss Hannigan. With an amusing plot, incredible reviews and amazing songs and actors, this musical sounds like a hit! So don’t miss out on the incredible songs and performances in this new rendition of Annie coming out at the Pantages Theatre in LA this…
