Rehearsal

staffing, I was offered an open position in lighting, and even though I did not get the chance to be in the booth to control the microphones, I was able to see how both sound and lighting played an important role in this play. Ever since lighting rehearsals started, I was able to see how the lighting changes the mood of the scene and how each actor, when they were in the spotlight, had their own unique story to tell. From this experience, I was able to learn that…

Before the experiment, the researchers hypothesized that only the imagery rehearsal therapy treated patients would have enhanced lucid dreaming, which in turn would decrease the amount of nightmare symptoms. The results showed that out of the three components of lucid dreaming, two of them, dream content control and purposeful waking, showed an increased amount in the patients that underwent imagery rehearsal therapy than those who did not. This study adds to the understanding of human behavior…

In the Fall Dance Concert, I noticed many strengths and weaknesses of my performances, but I also noticed my growth as a dancer. Even between two different days of performances, they were both distinct in their own ways. In the freshman dance, I noticed that my beginning coupe turns, I tended to falter and stumble on the transitions in between them, but I was able to recover from those mistakes. On Thursday I saw that my turn out on various steps was getting lost, but on Friday it was much…

Forgiveness” was a dance that Joy Scott choreographed. During Joy Scott’s practice we struggled with quite a few things, such as, changing music, choreography, and what the dance was about. Our rehearsals were on Thursdays at 5:00pm and I was able to attend all practices that we had. During our first rehearsal, we started out using music that Joy found that was very simple and elegant. She had the idea of Blade Boulware playing the piano during the first minute of our dance and then having a…

The Complete Stanislavsky Toolkit The reading for the approach to the rehearsal process continues. The text discussed the importance of the director and their assistance and guidance during the rehearsal process by establishing the aesthetic. After the discussion on the “Method of Physical actions” we moved to a new discussion concerning “Active analysis.” I personally feel that a lot of the material covered from the reading was previously discussed. The text however notes a few differences in…

Experiment 2 only had small differences than Experiment 1. There were 3 different types of encoding manipulations. They were serial-learning, elaborative, and maintenance rehearsal instructions. There were 248 subjects in all and they were in introductory psychology classes, therefore the number of subjects in a condition varied. The words used in this experiment were the same as Experiment 1, but for the presentation and recall…

she doesn't dance, then she will end up getting sent home. Kim went to the doctor and her scans showed an "indication of stress fractures." The doctor explained to Kim Fields that you can't ignore this and because of that he wanted her to skip the rehearsals.…

A magnificent rounded auditorium shining with golden adornments, a ceiling that made me crane my neck to fully appreciate its vastness, and over 2,500 people in five tiers of seating truly took my breath away. Even so, the setting of Carnegie Hall couldn’t compare to the astonishment I felt when I sang there. In 2014, my concert choir was selected to be part of a 200 voice choir in a PERFORMING a Christmas concert at Carnegie Hall. We received our composition around a month before the December…

feel this is because I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform well in every game, match or tournament and my team look to me to set a strong core for the team. Corrective measure A way in which this weakness can be corrected is through mental rehearsal. This means running through a performance in one’s mind. Creating a mental picture of what is required to perform a skill…

focus primarily on the social network of the Thundertones itself. I have spent a lot of time with the Thundertones, both inside and outside of rehearsals. The atmosphere of singing a cappella in a small group lends itself to a strong atmosphere of community, or Fraternitas, as we like to call it in Glee Club.…
