Sound stage

empty cups and bottle were used. I thought this decision was bothersome and I’m unsure why it was implemented this way. Furthermore, early in the play Sir Toby stumbled onto stage, drunk nonetheless, and burps were played of the speakers. Not only was Melanie Schultz, the actor who played Sir Toby, poor in timing the sounds with her burping “movement,” but it was also the only time the loud speakers were used during the play (besides song) which made it stick out like a sore…

fascination with live performances of any kind whether they be band performances, talent shows, karaoke nights as goofy as that sounds, and even plays. As such I thought seeing a live performance of Miss Julie at the Arkansas Tech Theatre would lighten my spirits and shine a light on some the young talent in the world that happens to live next door to myself. What was performed on that stage far passed any expectation, any standard, and definitely wiped any doubts I had. Upon first entering the…

be a concert series or in this case a tour of a concert series performed in large arenas like the Barkley Center. The song itself that is described to have an up-tempo would be Problem. The melody of this song is described to be a dance-pop and R&B sound, including instruments like trumpets, drums, and saxophone loops. The song itself is about liking another individual, but this particular individual is causing her problems, therefore it would be easier for her to forget him, or not like him at…

appropriate setting to the audience. Not having an overbearing amount of scenery allowed for the audience to focus on the performers and what was happening. With such a small stage, there wasn’t much space to utilize, but the set designers did a great job of using what they had. Pictures were projected on the wall behind the stage to add to the physical scenery. Although not completely inappropriate, I didn’t think that this was necessary because it was usually clear where each scene was set.…

At the time Flume’s music was unlike anyone else's, the tunes were a mixture of different sounds, howling calls, fizzy electric beats; all sorts of things that I had never heard before.The music appealed because it felt special and really…

Intimate apparel can be described as a woman 's struggle during the twentieth century to either accept a role by her husband 's side; happy or not, as he was the breadwinner. Or to become independent and pursue career and life goals which for most women of the time didn 't end well. Intimate Apparel focuses on Esther, a thirty year old African American woman I believe Lynn Nottage wanted to be viewed as strong until her heart became weary for love. I believe this about Esther because, up until…

The one quote that summarizes this whole book completely, comes pretty late during the analysis. “Music may be the activity that prepared our pre-human ancestors for speech communication and for the very cognitive, representational flexibility necessary to become humans.” (Daniel J. Levitin, 260.) This quote pretty much expresses the full meaning of this book, which is to explain the innate importance and development of music. This quote is received when the argument about how music has evolved…

This assignment probably taught me more than any other assignment I've ever done. I feel like most written assignments are challenging you to demonstrate what you know, whereas this one challenged you to apply what you think you know and to take away something new from the outcome. I approached this assignment feeling a little lost. I read the poem and became overwhelmed. I understood nothing. I felt the poem had too many possible directions and I struggled to connect and find those key moments…

On Monday, November 13th, 2017 I attended the Steel Band concert in the Fine Arts Recital Hall directed by Dr. Scott Harris. I formally had never attended a concert of this kind. When I thought of a steel band before I would think of just tubas and trumpets, I never thought it would be a band of Caribbean type steel drums. From the very beginning I was greeted with many interesting details which presently surprised me. Overall Western Kentucky University’s Steel Band concert was a very…

feeling as if our show was trash. These thoughts and feelings only built up and ideas went from We’re all just stressed to There is no way this is going to work out until I’m not good enough wouldn’t leave my mind. As I stood in the darkness of the stage right wing waiting to go onstage I felt warm tears slowly fall down my face and I fell apart. I sat down on a chimney top and let my head fall into my hands while internally scolding myself for letting this happen. That ended though and…
