Rehearsal

I make my way through the long theatre arts hallway, as I skim through one of the music sheets us background dancers and singers had just finished rehearsing. Then I start to think, man, Saturday rehearsals are exhausting. I can’t believe I did this for twelve hours straight. I’m glad I am not a lead actress. I can only imagine how much more lines, songs and dance moves I’d have to memorize. I took a deep breath followed by a crooked smirk. I am relieved. Though it seems I wasted twelve hours…

does not imply that it always occurs, or that articulatory suppression is particularly beneficial for all types of stimuli. This resolution is supported by other research such as Larson & Baddeley 2003, who surmised that subjects avoid subvocal rehearsal for difficult to rehearse stimuli on mental tasks. Further, research by Morey & Cowan (2005) indicated that an articulatory suppression task has no effect on visual array task…

heard, understood and accepted. What I didn't realized until fairly recently in my life, is that some people take this to the next level. Some people will hate you for reasons seemingly unknown or unreasonable to you. It all started with the rehearsals of the 2015 school spring musical of The Addams Family that my friend, we'll just refer to him as Pugsley, myself and a couple other friends, were met with the presence of a then junior, who we'll refer to as, Katrina.

Play as Therapy. Play as therapy is used when children and are able to express themselves through play with the support of a fully trained therapists; they may be able to express themselves unconsciously as the experience that they are facing may be too hard for them to express.

“Why did I get in?” These other girls are so talented. It took awhile, but I got over the remorse and decided this was something to shine about, and one of the biggest accomplishments in my 16 years. Hours of practice outside of school and rigorous rehearsals. Concert Choir is not all butterflies and rainbows. We have long days, and excruciating practices. We are not perfect, and we make mistakes. For the first time in my life, choir is hard. Finding perfect harmonies is not as easy as do, re,…

where Trooping the Colour gets its foundations, capturing enemy regimental colors were a great honor as opposed to losing a color which was considered a defeat. In todays event, rehearsals begin in early April and pass through two reviews, one from the Major General and the other from the Colonel in charge. These rehearsals occur in full ceremonial dress and the reviewers takes the salute at the time. On the day of the ceremony, the guards start by…

world with the orderly ones of Richard Strauss’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra”. But it would most likely be known to those crowded around me as the famous introduction to 2001: A Space Odyssey. My ritualistic walk to the Chicago Fine Arts Building for rehearsal began as my violin clanged against my back. The songs of those wearing suits and power ties filled my ears, singing of monetary profit, as the trumpets attained the height of the prominent theme, filling the concert halls of my head with…

The Orpheum Theatre downtown opened its doors to us for a special performance of the musical Sister Act, on Thursday September 21st. This performance was their final dress rehearsal so there were some ups and downs throughout the production. The show stars Deloris Van Cartier and she is in a huge dilemma after she witnesses her gangster lover, Curtis, commit a murder. The striving singer is sent to a convent to hide, where she befriends all the nuns and makes them into a singing sensation. The…

consists of vocals. In my group, each girl sings her own part, and if she doesn’t sing her part correctly or loudly, the song falls apart. The absence of just one part causes the harmonies to disintegrate, or even worse, the key to change. During rehearsals, we practice our songs over and over again to avoid shifting keys.…
