exciting experience for myself. Any sort of performance that I had previously attended had been through my times in middle school. To go along with this previous experience, I had absolutely no idea what to expect coming in. Generally speaking, the plays in middle schools are obviously uncoordinated and it’s obviously expected for many mistakes to be made throughout the duration. Through my attendance of a rehearsal a few weeks prior to the performance I garnered a general idea of what to expect…
their performances on their surroundings, but more on their emotions. These are the ways in which African and European people in music, and art are…
on greek theater. In a three part performance, the audience got an interesting point of view on each of the main characters. Most people think of greek theater as a long, boring, tragedy; however, the use of music, modern interpretation, and the actors talent helped to modernize the show. While some choices took the performance in a strange direction, the connections and relationships between the actors are what kept the show going. Throughout the performance, music was incorporated to help…
Both performance in ‘Footloose’ and displays of athleticism in ‘Rocky I’ fit neatly into the diegesis of the films in which they belong. In comparison to a horror film, which tends to elicit an ‘embodied’ frightened response, the sport and dance film, ‘Rocky I’…
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’…
Dance @ Wright was presented by the ECU School of Theatre and Dance. An event, performed by a variety of dancers that collaborated essential moods for their entire performance. The mood and the mode of representation of the dance became a key aspect of the performance. As a viewer, I ask myself did the music accommodate the performance or vice versa. Did the choreographer focus more on the alignment of the body or did he or she portray realistically on the physical and design elements? What…
Balinese dances accompanied by traditional music. There were also traditional instrument performances during the show. This show had a lot of different components to it that pertained to…
performers all play the same role. Performers who are experienced with an instrument, rather in front of a live audience or not, are needed for their ability to play specific instruments for entertainment to those who wish to hear their talent. Performance per instrument appears to be on a need basis. A violin concert master is compensated with a fee of $6,970. Low on the totem pole is of performers is Violin II, who receives a compensation of $1,178. Obviously, the concert master is going to…
8:00 PM in Kobacker Hall located inside the Moore Musical Arts Center. World Percussion Night featured multiple styles including performances by the Kusuma Sari Balinese Gamelan, Afro-Caribbean, Hayabusa, and Kaze No Daichi Taiko ensembles. As I entered the building, I was anxious to see what I would endure at this concert. Not only had I never been to a musical performance of any kind throughout the duration of my time here at Bowling Green State University, but I had never witnessed just a…
was the fifth performance of the show. There were six total dancers in the entire piece they all wore pink leotards and tights along with ballet shoes. The dance began with three ballerinas doing dance exercises on the bar and then the three others enter the stage soon after…
