and make adjustments without any need of guidance. Often a performer is able to concentrate on other detail surrounding him or her which are non-related to the movement being performed. The learning who was learning how to throw is successfully performing the skill at a higher level. Instead of throwing faster and further, the learner is able to throw more accurate due to biomechanical improvement incorporated into their performance. Fitts and Posner models do not include a set time table which…

thought of the time when I saw students performing years before I could even sign up for it. My friends were encouraging me to join so we could perform together. So, I decided to give it a shot because maybe I would enjoy this and step out of my comfort zone a little bit. As I signed my signature on the paper, I knew from that point on, things would change. Later on that day, I just kept asking myself all these questions: “What if people laugh at me while I’m performing? What if I mess up the…

Over the centuries, theatre conventions evolved from the highly presentational performances of the Greeks to the extravagance of Elizabethan productions and eventually conglomerated to produce contemporary theatre. The University Playhouse’s performance of Acting: The First Six Lessons expressed this conglomeration of Greek and Elizabethan conventions through elements of presentational theatre, a non-localized set, and a supporting cast that functioned similar to a chorus or ensemble. This…

a small group, the group had to improvise a way to make the table idea work. For that to take place, I could not just do anything to achieve that vision but to really pretend and believe to be doing it (Leach 3). By having that mindset, it made performing so much easier. After getting into the group of three, it was worked out who would be the table and who would be the patient. We then figured out ways how to sit or lay down on the human table with least amount of pressure applied. Becoming a…

Part 1: Performance Description and Analysis The mariner, the navigator, the sailor, or the pirate? The performer identified himself as all of these depending on the situations during a particular time in the performance. One event that sticks with me the most, one that the entire performance was rooted in, was the killing of the albatross. The mariner made friends with the albatross before, one day, losing it and killing it with his bow and arrow. This shaped the rest of the…

After an entire semester of ballet class, I am able to say that I acquired the most basic knowledge of the field. Although my performance was not always the best, I managed to learn the sequences and movements. By watching the videotaped performance, I was able to identify the aspects of ballet technique that were taught along the semester and that I performed correctly, as well as the aspects that need further correction and improvement. Also, as compared to the midterm self-evaluation, it is…

On Monday, November 13th, 2017 I attended the Steel Band concert in the Fine Arts Recital Hall directed by Dr. Scott Harris. I formally had never attended a concert of this kind. When I thought of a steel band before I would think of just tubas and trumpets, I never thought it would be a band of Caribbean type steel drums. From the very beginning I was greeted with many interesting details which presently surprised me. Overall Western Kentucky University’s Steel Band concert was a very…

The Key Critical Term I choose is gesture and the two research topics are courtesy in Atlanta and Georgia RenFest. I think they both have a strong connection to the term gesture. From the essay by Carol Robinson, gestures are socially codified movements of body parts or vocalized sounds that, even in a formal setting, can send a uniquely personal message. Also, gestures can have different meanings in different time which provide us with a unique angle to observe and research into certain…

Although many relatives can fall under these categories, Some people in my family just happen to stick out. The clown of my mom's side is my cousin Jermaine, but we call him Twin because he had a twin Brother who passed in 2003. Through the pain of loosing his twin brother he still goes through the act to be the family comedian.One reason I would say he is a clown because a clown's purpose is to entertain and when your around him you cant do anything other than laugh. Even though he doesn't wear…
