Performance

meticulously hand painted backdrops, the actors use nothing but some chairs and a pair of ladders. The storyline of the play is intriguing, but not so much as the elaborate use of chairs and ladders as the only props. The standouts in this particular performance where none other than the lights crew and the stage manager. The reason why I have chosen them as the standouts instead of actors is because of the difficulty…

preparing myself for my RCM Level 10 Violin Examination, I had agreed to do a solo performance of one of my pieces for an annual exhibition which my music academy organized. While it wasn't a competition, there would be an audience of hundreds of people - the students, the parents, teachers, and any friends they might invite. I had previously partaken in this yearly event but always as part of a group, never a performance of my own. This was foreign and completely daunting to me. I had…

watching a performance and reading a story. The story will sometimes create more suspense, where the performance may leave some out. Depending on how you like to imagine stories you may like plays or stories better. I prefer reading a story and choosing my picture of the character and setting. A difference I discovered was the suspense level. The story can often create more suspense than watching a performance may. You can see this many times when there is waiting in a story, but the…

necessary. However, there was typically a very successfully symbiotic blend. The Maestoso opened with a strong, projecting horn line, accompanied by the timpani reminiscent of that of a royal introduction. Despite being distracted by the physical performance discrepancies, my attention was grabbed by the boldness, and held captive throughout the rest of the composition, which ended with a march. The march was saturated with fast, melismatic and ornate string runs that were echoed then by the…

interpreted in many different ways. However, this subjective point of view can also make it being difficult to convey a specific theme. By combining aspects of music and visual art I can more easily define what emotions and theme I conveying during my performance. Physics must also be taken into account when choreographing. A beautiful movement that contributes to the theme and emotion of my dance is useless if it cannot actually be done. Using this combination of disciplines in my creative…

As class has progressed this semester I have seen such a difference in the way I approach text and breath through my acting. Breath has been a continual theme, but it is really not about the air moving into our lungs being absorbed into our blood stream and then the CO2 exiting our bodies. What makes breath so special in response to voice is and how we use this very scientific process to make emotional connections and expressive actions that joins us as humans to each other and connects an actor…

On Friday, October 16th, I attended the opening night performance of the musical “The Addams Family” at the Alfresco Arts Center in Granite City, Illinois. The doors opened at 6:30pm and the play began promptly at 7:30pm after a brief welcoming and introduction through the sound system. With my previous experiences in watching theatrical performances, I knew before arriving at the production that no two plays or venues are the exact same. This expectation was definitely true upon my arrival…
