Performance

of the dance is compared to my personal interpretation. The dances on campus also gave a sense of mystery, but is was not as strong due to knowing people performing and their personalities and how that affects their dancing. Leaning from outside performances also gave me better knowledge of how to observe. Watching outside movements and see how much more advanced professionals are, but how they still incorporate the most basic movements that we have learned in class. Seeing professional…

This is exactly how I felt throughout the show while observing this stupendous musical. I went to see the September 26th invited dress rehearsal showing of “A Chorus Line” at Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre. I was in complete awe throughout the performance and was also incredibly proud to come from a university filled with an abundance amount of talent. The cast fits the character descriptions for the show so well, and they made a lasting impression on the audience. “A Chorus line” is a musical…

On March 26th, I attended a concert at Sidewinder in Austin, Texas. The venue hosted three bands: The Sweethearts, Two Tens, and The Dollyrots. All three were female-fronted punk rock bands, but The Sweethearts were the only band that was local. The other two were on tour with each other. All three of the bands knew each other and have played together at other venues frequently. This event held indoors. Sidewinder’s interior is set up as an open bar. When you walk in the bar is to the right,…

In the Fall Dance Concert, I noticed many strengths and weaknesses of my performances, but I also noticed my growth as a dancer. Even between two different days of performances, they were both distinct in their own ways. In the freshman dance, I noticed that my beginning coupe turns, I tended to falter and stumble on the transitions in between them, but I was able to recover from those mistakes. On Thursday I saw that my turn out on various steps was getting lost, but on Friday it was much…

issue-based performances and group workshops for male, female and young offenders as well as individuals on probation. Their philosophy is that theatre and drama are highly effective tools in identifying an offender’s behaviour and the process of change. It addresses the factors that may influence one’s actions, analyse the responsibilities of offending and it encourages the individual to challenge the attitudes and beliefs which are the root causes of an offender’s behaviour. The performances…

see a performance by a large choir. However, I was pleasantly surprised when the first performer walked onto the stage by herself. When the pianist started playing, I looked into the program and noticed the first song was in Italian. Katerina Hadjipavlis, the soprano soloist, began to and it was amazing! I was not expecting her to be singing opera. Like the other soloist, you could really see the passion on her face. That was one of the things that I really enjoyed regarding the performances. I…

I attended the performance entitled, Urban Ballet, at the Houston City Dance Studio. The studio is located near the Heights of Downtown Houston. Unbeknown to me, the show I saw on Saturday was their last performance. It consists of assorted styles of dance depicting the struggles of being an African-American using the music of Tupac. The Houston City Dance Studio is a nonprofit dance school and performing arts organization offering classes in ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance. It was founded…

impression management by trying to present herself in a particular way to society. From a dramaturgical perspective, a performance of identity is successful when the audience sees the performer as he or she wishes to be…

The music was loud and I had to put earplugs in just to make it through the performance. The dancers were clapping their hands, posing, as the 80’s music played. The female performer with the purple and gold dress had a great catwalk. She was one of the best performers in that piece. “Intervertebral” by Cari K. Cunningham was really…
