music. Recordings have specific sound events that are highlighted, re-mixed, and edited, to produce the very best of a particular music piece.2 As such, it is now the recording that is the most authentic expression of the music as opposed to the performance. This seems to turn the whole idea of authenticity…

Oftentimes, his performances of Mistero Buffo were with his wife, Franca Rame, who stated that Fo began collecting these pieces seven years earlier. However, his revisions of Biblical texts date back to 1953 (Behan 95). Inspired by Marxist theories, he strove “to make audiences become aware that their position in society is a consequence of the privileges and oppression perpetrated at their expense by another group in society, the ruling class” (Behan 96). He also used these performances to be a…

technology is lip syncing. An increasing amount of musicians take the easy way out and lip sync during concerts and important events. Lip syncing is an inexcusable offense for a musician. It is deceitful and wrong for artists to lip sync in live performances, and it should not be allowed. Performers are held to a different standard when they perform live versus on a recording. They are expected to put on a show as well as sing their songs. Certain artists throughout history produced albums with…

combined create a longer flowing narrative. Another way in which the performance has tried to engage a 21st century audience is through the redefining of theatre techniques, one such way is the performance as a shared experience between audience and the performers. Whilst most of the performance is set in the spherical set, the lights symbolic of the stars reach out into the audience and bring the audience into the world of the performance. The use of the bubble machine during the underwater…

evolved from the highly presentational performances of the Greeks to the extravagance of Elizabethan productions and eventually conglomerated to produce contemporary theatre. The University Playhouse’s performance of Acting: The First Six Lessons expressed this conglomeration of Greek and Elizabethan conventions through elements of presentational theatre, a non-localized set, and a supporting cast that functioned similar to a chorus or ensemble. This performance also altered conventions through…

Stage persona 's utilised by performers are an integral in the foundation of a live performance. These persona 's manifest showmanship that reinforces the music 's tonal properties which allows for a greater experience. The performance of Home Is For The Heartless was listened to Experienced without the visual aspect. The visual aspect was then viewed without audio in the second screening and finally the performance as a whole was experienced in the final viewing. An integration of stage persona…

Oliver Riojas and performed by the students of UIC Wind Ensemble along with the performance of marimba and percussion by Jordan Kamps, Peter Ferry, and Chris Sies. The performance took place at the UIC Theatre, which was located on 1044 W Harrison St. The show was on Thursday, March second, 2017 at 7:30 PM. The theatre was very crowed with many older adults who came to support their families and friends’ performance. There was not enough seat, so many students who came to the show had to sit…

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…

acting on stage and in front of the camera, which may be of value to aspiring actors. Refine the nuances It is self-evident that the two mediums are distinct and relatively autonomous and each requires a unique and nuanced skill set. For stage performances, it is gesticulation, movement and physical presence of the actor that are essential, whilst television and film actors are unlikely to be successful without honing subtleties of minor facial expressions. On your own in the limelight There is…

believe that my final performance of my take on the Elements of Dance theme was satisfactory. Given my condition on the day, I am pleased with my focus during the dance and my overall performance. Three aspects that went really well, in my opinion, would be the intense energy that my partner and I brought onstage, our synchronization while performing, and the evident presentation of the light versus dark theme. Mary and I work well together, but I believe that during the performance, we were…
