programs where you can learn straight from a fellow actor. It depends on how you learn best. Let’s say I was aspiring to be an actor, I had just found a role on a casting call website; “Casting "Gruff!," an interactive hybrid of musical theater, puppetry, clown and physical theater for family audiences with a message of radical sustainability.” I believe I should go for this audition because it seems like I could excel in this type of production, I like to make people laugh, I love physical…

Mystère is a Cirque du Soleil show in constant residence at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is one of six resident Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas.

but the stitches were slipping off the needles! When you walk by the stage in Diagon Alley, you might hear fantasizing stories from one of the wisest books in the wizarding world, like The Tales of Beedle The Bard. Some might be the unbelievable puppetry or extravagant singing with toads. If you're thirsty and eager, my family tried a classic and refreshing drink- butterbeer! Stop into The Fountain of Fortune, The Leaky Cauldron, or The Hopping Pot. You can choose from chilling frozen butterbeer…

The image St. George and the Dragon was created using the albumen silver from a glass negative process, and as such it is a black and white photograph. The white tones appear stark white, and the darker tones appear warm, ranging from light to darker shades of beige to almost brown. Also, visible are the various shades of gray. Such tones were typical of the wet collodion process, as was the sharp image and the clear depiction of the details. The photograph's tones range from light to dark,…

Upon first glance of Hughe’s “Salvation” and Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant”, one would think the two non-fictional stories would be quite different when compared to the other. After all, the settings are as contrasting as the characters themselves. Langston Hugh’s “Salvation” takes place mainly upon a church pew in the presence of a church congregation, in Missouri, with the main character being a twelve-year-old boy. Meanwhile, George Orwell’s “Shooting of an Elephant” takes place in a foreign…

Skills Development The wide variety of mediums and structures I have displayed in each of my pieces has allowed me to develop new skills as well as hone skills I already had. The stress on basic performance strengths means that I have had the opportunity to really perfect them to a high standard while more unique styles of performance enabled me to learn new skills and incorporate them effectively where they are required. In reference to specific techniques I employed, choral speaking and…

As a result, movie genres that offer a broad range of entertainment and stimulation can make the theater going experience more worthy of the ticket price. Some of the more popular movie genres today are mysteries, science fiction, romantic comedies, animation, documentaries and horror films.
