speaking event offered at the middle school. I had enjoyed these activities, but I understood that due to my dance schedule and homework load with AP and honors classes, I would not have time to continue these performances with the school.

After singing to an audience for the first time, I went home and anxiously anticipating the email to…

Spring Awakening, Thomas Nightingale and Chaz May’s performances stood out amidst the rest. Nightingale’s use of body language and tone provided a realistic portrayal of his character’s emotions. While May’s strong projection and emotion provided a more authentic element to his role. Using a combination of strong body language and tone Nightingale was able to portray the genuine emotions felt by his character. This made his performance more realistic and believable. He displayed this…

The dancer’s body appears to glide with effortless grace across the floor, whilst constantly challenging the laws of balance, force and motion. The purpose of this paper is to examine how a dancer moves, the way muscles are used to create and control movement, how dancers work against the force of gravity to leap into the air, spin without toppling over and balance on the toe of a single pointe shoe.…

movement among the ensemble. For example, during the piece “Sing Sing Sing” the ensemble would swing their instruments back and forth to beat of the music. The lighting was also an integral part in the performance. The lighting would often change and move around the room.
