down & dirty lyrics. Who would have known they drove 26 hours straight from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Via's set was unexpected and unwavering. Following VIA's set, Vajra took to the floor (literally). Fronted by Annamaria Pinna, Vajra's eccentric performance took me on a musical magical carpet ride taking all 5 senses to places unexplored. I loved Friday night's show so much that I traveled out of Baltimore to see the show again. Playing this time at The Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA.…
My experience presenting choreography and performing in the 2017 Xperimental Dance Concert was challenging, yet stimulating. I believe choreographing for any type of venue is an intimate and vulnerable task, and this venue enabled the audience to witness every aspect of the pieces in the concert from many diverse angles; which caused many choreographers, including me, to feel a little anxious about presenting our works. Although I felt apprehensive about the intimate space, I recognized that…
The PowerPoint eight sheds a light on my knowledge and understanding about ballet. I am totally astonished to learn in the “History of Ballet” video that King Louis XIV was the father of this kind of art form. That is probably why I always feel and view ballet as one of the most graceful and classy types of dance. Even though ballet is typical and unique with five basic steps or positions that were invented by King Louis XIV and still applied till today, it has a wide variety of aspects and has…
Have you ever been nervous or excited about an event or something you have been really waiting for? Well if you have that’s how I felt about going to my very first dance camp. Even better something really awesome happened to me.It was something that has never happened to me ever before. As I was on my way to camp I had this feeling inside of me, I felt sick, my stomach was tight, and I was very shaky. As we arrived I was so amazed at how many teams there were at camp. I could not believe my eyes…
It was a pleasure and convenience to have experience a live Jazz concert at Medgar Evers College on Saturday May 6, 2017, the title of the concert was JAZZ! The women’s viewpoint. What made this performance unique and special that it consisted of all female orchestra, who shined individually and together produce a chemistry hypnotizing the assembly? The audience were mainly older ladies and gentlemen. Whereas, I was the only youthful, and most likely student there. It was obvious that the…
and lively at most of the time, but can also have rich and dense texture during the other part. Also, as a bandleader, Oxman pays lots of attention on his companies, including making room for them on the stage during the solos. Moreover, although the Keith Oxman Quartet has only a little interaction with the audience, he did give me a friendly smile when…
The short interview with Lauren Anderson is so inspiring that gives me an insight into passion and success as well as motivates me to persist in following my dream. Anderson’s story of her career as a principal ballerina seems quite simple and typical as she started early at seven, soon became a principal dancer of Houston Ballet, and then now is giving back to the society by teaching ballet to children of “underserved” community. However, I believe behind that story are all strenuous efforts…
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than playing the clarinet; Evan hearing it gives my pleasure. I have been involved in a performance where you play jazz at heritage landing. At age 12 I realized that I belonged in front of an audience. I started to give demonstrations to younger kids to help out Mrs.Lawrence (My former band teacher and friend). My Friends and I have had fun doing such a thing. It was 7th grade for me and I was offered to play a part in the Muskegon Jazz band. Mrs. Lawrence…

Theater Response 1.Going into the theater, I was expecting a fairly accurate performance directly scripted from the essays. When I realized that the college level performers loosely used the stories from the book in order to inspire their piece, I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed how the actors and actresses made their performance uniquely about them and how their stories relate to those of “Reluctant Citizens” and “The Lonely Death of George Bell”. Watching and listening to each of…
