Shaw Festival

Throughout Saint Joan, a story written by George Bernard Shaw, parallels are drawn to the story of King Henry V as the idea of feminism is tested through the different gender role expectations of society during the fifteenth century. Joan of Arc and King Henry V are prime examples of two individuals that were held to different standards based upon their genders. Joan challenged these expectations while Henry lived up to them. Due to society’s influence on gender roles throughout the fifteenth…

Like many great stories there is always a beginning. The legendary Tuskegee Airmen’s story would begin with the start of World War II. Europe was very vulnerable due to the first world war. As a country in Europe, Germany was effected by the instability. Adolf Hitler took advantage of this weakness and allied with the National Socialist party. This party is also known as the Nazi Party. Together, they changed how the people of Germany thought of Jews. Similarly to African-Americans in America,…

The Treacherous Follies of Society Desdemona from Othello by William Shakespeare (1969) and Eliza Doolittle from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw (2003) are characters who struggle with the repercussions of prejudice created by society and who defy social norms. Prejudice is an unfavourable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. Although both plays are based off of different centuries, both characters have similar characteristics and ideologies on how…

outlooks on the situations due to their backgrounds. The two main perspectives of the movie realistically reflected the profile of the freed slaves fighting for their freedom and the elite white commanders. Throughout the beginning of the movie, Shaw, a white abolitionist, saw blacks as equals and was not afraid to fight alongside them. One of his closest friends, Searles,…

On December 2nd, 2016 at the Constance theatre the dance department presented a show called Agbedidi. The show, directed and choreographed by Mohamed DaCosta and Trent D. Williams, Jr., displayed a combination of Traditional African and Contemporary Dance. The house buzzed with excitement as the start of the show approached. It is quite encouraged to see such a large audience at an event, but this audience also brought a positive, vibrant atmosphere for the dancers to soak up. I was curious to…

In the 30 minutes that I analyzed for Mr. Bean’s Holiday, the kinds of music that they used was a collection of songs. Most of the songs used in the movie were instrumental and symphony orchestra like. The composer of the score would be Howard Goodall. The type of performers that are used are an orchestra. The genres of music that are included are mainly instrumental classical like songs. While they are driving to Cannes in the evening, Mr. Bean is listening to radio and Born to be Wild, a rock…
