Rock It

There will never be a real rock n 'rock That might be an easy definition of Punk rock. This definition see Punk rock as an undercurrent underneath the primitive American rock 'n' roll, stretching from the myriad different versions of "Louie, Louie," which is often singing at the fun on the campus, through the artful "Psycho" (The Sonics) and "Surfin 'Bird" style polygons of the day (The Trashmen) and finally followed by many rock musicians from the sixties to the band The Stooges.

section 1: research and performance development: The two extracts I decided to perform were extract 1 Punk Rock in the style of Stanislavsky and for extract 2, East in the style of the practitioner, Berkoff.

Whereas in Punk Rock I was leaning more so to a naturalistic format in the style of Stanislavsky works in requires you to release…

Many of the recreational…

Initially, the most striking feature of Eroded Rock, Point Lobos, a gelatin silver print by Edward Weston, is its relationship between positive and negative space. The photo’s subject is an eroded rock, whose rough, raised plateaus create a light positive space and emerge from smooth, blackened sections of the eroded rock which create the image’s negative space. These sections of eroded rock envelop the plateaus in languid serpentine lines, almost as though the plateaus are land masses cast…

I chose to write my essay answering question number five, "Explain how rock music in the 1960s was egalitatian, eclectic, and real?". As a Fashion Merchandising major, when I think of a certain era, I often think of the clothing or popular culture during that period.

The music that sticks out to me the most during this time is from The Beatles and Beach Boys. To be eclectic…

Indie rock was originated in United Kingdom in the 1980s and can be traced back to the burst of post-punk. The genre was said to have a lot of influence by the ethics and ideologies of punk music. The term “indie” had been around for a long time as it was is used to describe the independence of music. Indie rock is considered a genre of alternative rock, so the terms were used quite interchangeably. As much of alternative bands began to enter mainstream music, the term “indie” began to describe…

Little Rock: Was It Constitutionally Correct? School is defined as an institution of learning for children; after the Brown vs. Board of Education case, it was established that having the children separated by their ethnicities or race was wrong. The integration of the children into the schools was supposed to happen with all deliberate speed but with this new phenomenon of diversity came tremendous hostility amongst people mainly in the south. One place that faced this conflict was Little…

American rock climbing has undergone many changes, but the key aspects that have formed out of the popularizing of rock climbing have stayed the same. Lawrence C. Hamilton expresses that rock climbing is “characterized by (1) a motivation or reward structure that encourages the continual creation of new climbs, and (2) a finite and exhaustible medium in which to create them” (Hamilton 1979, 285). Rock climbing has become a new subculture and a lifestyle consisting of its own values, language,…
