Performing arts

The musical performance I attended was held by Northern Wake Tech Chorus. This performance took place Thursday, December 8th, 2016, from 7:00 P.M. to 9 P.M., in building B, room 204. The concert venue was a decently sized auditorium. Getting to the venue early, there was a variety of seats to choose from, so I decided to sit in the third row in the center; right behind the performers’ seats, with a great view. As time grew closer to the beginning of the show, the audience grew, consisting of…

How to Make Your Own Bold Pest With the recent revival of carnival acts, the art of Burlesque has revived all over the world. An elegant and creative play that will show a lot of shows gathered popularity with names like Gypsy Rose Lee and Sally Rand in the 20 's and 40' s (though it continued loud and long! Neo and Guerilla's BAR LAKE show is pop (unexpected in the latter case!) It stands everywhere, there is no reason why you can not become part of it. I can not help you with the dance step,…

sophomore year of high school, I was in a play called Greek Mythology Olympiaganza. I made new friends because of this event that I feel I will have for the rest of my life. During this event I learned how to control my actions and feelings while performing. I have wanted to major in acting and to perform in more plays since this moment happened. This event in my life is crucial to me because, it made me realize that I can and want to make people laugh. In my sophomore year of high school…

Augmenting Motor Skill Acquisition In an attempt to describe the augmentation of motor skill acquisition I am going refer to the work of Schmidt and Lee (2014) throughout this assignment and inform my comments around a skill used in basketball; the free throw. A free throw is a skill that is generally unaffected by environmental factors, such as opposition. This results in a stable and highly predictable environment throughout performance. These characteristics of a free throw describe a closed…

performer greatly. It has permitted me to learn to engage with the audience, to attack choreography and not just go through the motions. Resulting in strong movement quality I perceive this as strength as Bandauer.D, Rovegno.T(2016)state “Simply performing the skill is not enough—the quality of the movement matters” I feel that the training I have received can help me to push myself as a performer. I will continue to enhance my movement quality by taking opportunities to perform frequently, I…

The last live performance I saw was Zarkana in radio city music hall. I don’t remember the exact year but I remember that it was over the summer. It really was a captivating experience, as soon as I walked in there was characters greeting you with intricate face painting almost like tribal marking infused with modern painting techniques. I took my seat, as the show was about to begin. However there was a pre show before the actual show began. The relation ship with the audience was really breath…

Certain artists throughout history produced albums with technical effects, preventing them from performing it live. Technology in songs is not the problem, it is the artists who choose to lip sync songs they cannot perform live without lip syncing. The Beatles could not perform songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band live because of the aleatoric nature…

piece, which was significantly different from most concerts I have attended who only bow after their last piece. I was notably surprised to see the orchestra standing for their first piece considering most orchestras sit while performing unless you are a soloist. While performing, the audience did not nod their heads to the music nor did they socialize with other members of the audience, but instead stayed significantly quiet and observed the performance with direct attention. The audience…

I stood up from my seat to see better and put on my bracelet. Bright lights of every color flashed everywhere. It was an amazing sight. A performer came on stage. I smiled. He started singing a new song that I really like. I smiled. All of a sudden, bright yellow lights started going off everywhere from the bracelets that were given to us, and the crowd started going wild waiting for the person that we were all here for to come out. The bracelets were really cool. Finally, Taylor Swift came out…

Unforgettable with Stephanie Aaron and the Bradley Jazz Ensemble was a very unique experience. I do not attend many concerts, but the ones that I have gone to were nothing like this one. The concert was full of energy and the lighting was dynamic. I mostly went to traditional concerts, but this jazz concert was much more energetic. When musicians would finish a solo the crowd would applaud and there was a lot of movement among the ensemble. For example, during the piece “Sing Sing Sing” the…
