Rehearsal

We are a loving family with two daughters, Irene and Vera. It is a long and exciting experience for us as parents to raise them up, to learn who they are, and to know what to prepare for their future education. The best thing we love about Irene is her big loving heart. She is always kind to others. In school, many kids love to play with her because of her sweet and nice personality, besides the imaginative and fun part. At home, she gets along very well with her toddler sister Vera, showing…

and the result indicated that “EFT had a significant effect on increase in emotional expressiveness, benign control, aggression control, and also on reduction in ambivalence over emotional expression, emotional Inhibition, and rumination or mental rehearsal” (Motaharinasab et al., 2016; 513-515). More so, it’s important to note that from our case conceptualization and treatment…

One evening, soon after college ended for summer break, Anna invited some close friends over for a get together. A guy who I met during our visit with her at college was also invited. When I had seen “Mr. Perfect” for the first time on campus, Anna pointed him out as he breezed by in his sports car. I remember thinking, “Wow! He really knows how to make an entrance,” when he passed us. Later that evening, near campus, we met him and his roommate for dinner at a casual dining place, and I was…

The 2004 movie, The Phantom of the Opera, is based off the original 1986 musical that was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The actual movie is also produced by Webber and is directed by Joel Schumacher. It was released in the United States in December of 2004 and has been a hit ever since. The musical is still very popular and is performed on stages across the world to this day. Each musical scene in The Phantom of the Opera is sung in opera, so one has to have a special talent to perform. Some…

Our lives are filled with people. Some we interact with, and some that we’ll never meet. Everyone has people in their lives, but some of us still feel completely alone. This is how I used to feel. Constantly surrounded by others, but always lonely. Freshman year was an awkward year, as I presume it is for most. Walking through the halls, which seemed massive at the time, I was nervous. I felt amazing because I was finally a high schooler but I was now at the bottom of the food chain. I had no…

The Black Swan is a very twisted story about a young ballerina looking to become the best dancer possible. She wants to have the perfect body and performance as a dancer. Nina, the main character, is portrayed as an innocent and pure character. From the beginning, Nina shows signs of mental instability. As the movie progresses, it reveals deeper into her character as she develops and shows many symptoms of schizophrenic behavior. According to the DSM; Schizophrenia is a serious mental health…

As the team pushes through the season, perfection in their sights, the leadership is quick to accept the credit for feats they did not take part in. While the underclassman put time and energy in outside of rehearsal, they put in the minimal effort, and refuse to let anyone else share in the glory or power that comes with success. On numerous occasions, the weapon line has called a sectional in the hopes of perfecting a certain skill before the next performance…

Comprising of divergent perspectives and notions, Louis Nowra’s play Cosi is centred around a university student, Lewis who finds a job directing a play with mental patients as the cast, within a mental asylum. Roy chooses the opera ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ by Mozart surrounding love and fidelity. The idea of love is incorporated within Cosi to represent the differences in cultural and social values. This is shown in how Nick and Lucy perceive love as “an emotional indulgence for the privileged few”,…

the perfect opportunity to see just how great the Texas State musical theatre program was and I have to say that I definitely was not disappointed. It all started when my roommate, who is in the musical theatre program, went to go see the dress rehearsal of the show. When she got back I could tell that she had gotten really emotional at the show. When I asked her how it went she told me that the show was amazing and that I needed to go see it. I then…

It begins with an individual bow for each of the nineteen characters, their hodgepodge rehearsal clothes replaced by identical spangled gold costumes. As each dancer joins the group, it is suddenly difficult to distinguish one form the other. Each character who was an individual to the audience is now an anonymous member of an ensemble. The…
