Performance-related pay

I completed my GCSE and AS-level dance courses in Contemporary dance, acquiring understanding of choreography and developing critical thinking skills through performance analysis. In addition, I completed an AS-level in History and am studying toward an A-level in French, Art and English Literature. These courses taught me to work independently and as part of a team. My work has led me to explore Christopher Bruce's…

Staging a play: The Glass Menagerie is Matija Ferlin’s abstract dance theatre performance based on Tennessee Williams’ brilliant play The Glass Menagerie. It was first staged late last year and has since received many positive reviews. Englist’s team was very fortunate to be able to attend the show for a very affordable price and even arrange a small discussion after the play with Matija Ferlin, the director, main choreographer, and dancer, Maja Delak, a dancer, and Luka Prinčič, the coordinator…

From Athens to Broadway, the simultaneous presence of wardrobe and makeup is used to reveal each character’s narrative in the play. By concealing the body with a costume, the actor’s former identity is buried so that the character’s new essence can emerge. For this reason, costumes are the most legitimizing aspect of a play. Police uniforms, metal name tags, black suits, mullets, and graduation robes alike are just some everyday costumes worn by ordinary people to send out a message without the…

On April 19, 2016 I attend a Concert Band and Chorus presented by Palm Beach State college music department. The concert chorus was conducted by Michael MacMullen and the concert band was conducted by David Gibble. The chorus sung about 6 songs from different period of the music period, like “camp town races” and “Jubilate Deo”. Meanwhile, the band opens my ears to some great classical hits from different composers. For example, the Overture to the Barber of Seville and other pieces were played…

My main artistic intention for this play will be to deliver Rotand’s underlying message as well as launch the audience into a whirlwind of emotion. Insecurities and lack of self-worth still exists within society today. My production of Cyrano De Bergerac will allow my audience to connect with the characters on a more deeper and more personal level. The intended audience will be for the romantics. People who still believes true love is still out there. It will also be intended for people with…

marry. As a new family, the Von Trapps struggle to avoid Nazi officials. The acting of Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer could be described as virtually flawless. In fact, Andrews was nominated for “Best Actress in a Leading Role” for her performance (“Julie Andrews”). One of her finest moments of acting in The Sound of Music was when her character, Maria, realizes that she is in love with the Captain. She looks flustered, shocked, and confused--so different from the bubbly Maria that…

What a treat; I really enjoyed the event. I was skeptical about going because I did not read the book or have any background knowledge about the author, but in hindsight that did not matter. I was able to listen to relaxing jazz music, sing along with a great singer, and reminisce about my musical days. The incorporation of the black experience throughout the event was a fresh breath of air. I am an Africana Studies minor, so anything about the black experience has my attention! I appreciated…

Not only would Ticketmaster sell concert tickets, but they would also sell merchandise and allow fans to pay for a fan club membership on their website which allows them to participate in presales and present them with membership rewards. With all the amount of income coming in from Ticketmaster’s site, they would keep most of it. Other promoters and vendors…
