used to go to was going under, and they were splitting into some weird private dance studio, with half the size and significantly less teachers, and there really wasn’t anything nearby. Except for the Milwaukee Ballet school. “Alice, this isn’t a recital, your hair is fine” my mother said as she drove me to my new studio. I was sitting in the passenger seat yanking my hair back into a smooth bun, desperately trying to settle the wisps of hair that flew off the crown of my head. “I just want the…
Agnes de Mille's career was a very long and successful but also hard journey through the world of 20th century American theater and ballet.

When Agnes was little her father followed his brother Cecil B. de Mille to California, to try for work in the new gold field of motion pictures. He went for a year's stay and…
with a boot and crutches. Two years of no dance, no running, jumping, skipping, and barely being able to walk- two years where I had to teach myself how to function without the full use of my legs. I missed drivers’ education, Easter egg hunting, recitals and performances. But it opened my eyes-opened them to what life was like to thousands who couldn’t walk. My classmates told me how lucky I was to “get” to skip gym, I thought how wonderful it would be to run. I saw how much we took our bodies…
another means of wealth, which still happens today with musicians, artists and anyone else who thinks they can simply create art. The scene could be compared to the Dire Straight`s song, Money for Nothing which begins with an apparent word for word recital of a conversation overheard by one of the artists in the…

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…
ballerina. Being a child of war, Audrey learned to cope with her hunger, fear, and deprivation through the art of music and dance. Soon enough, she and some other dancers began hosting secret dance shows to raise money for the Dutch Resistance. Their recitals were held in houses with closed doors and windows. No one outside was aware of what was happening inside. After their performance was completed, money was collected and turned over to the Dutch Resistance. Audiences refrained from clapping…
respect for Jefferson and his position as Secretary of State as well as appear educated and respectful. Banneker also acknowledges Jefferson’s knowledge on slavery by saying his,” “knowledge of the situation of my brethren is too extensive to need recital.” Banneker’s use of logical and emotional appeals creates sympathy in the reader as well as guilt to show the injustice of slavery in America.…
created a wide dragging and high pitch texture throughout the piece. the polyphony was in a two note accompany. The piece volume was at a dynamic that was soft reasonable on the calm. In my own opinion i can see this piece being played at a ballet recital. The ballet dancer will be moving o so smoothly, following the pace of the music. Conclusively the timbre is very visual in a way. The tone-color of the mid high pitch gives off a mellow , grayish blue feel thats follows through the piece. The…
