Specific performance

Madonna is playing. Journey is playing. Katy Perry is playing. For once, no one is talking. Everyone is focused on their devices. It is Monday. You leave class, you come back the next day. Madonna is playing. It is still Monday. Your list of music Monday topics is stretching on to infinity. It has been Monday for so long. Journey is still playing. Theme essays, Miss. Hintze calls from the front of the room. She says you can do it on whatever theme you want, but you know what she wants. Six…

his dancers about a long time ago. Their dance moves were fabulous and it made the audiences wanted to stand up and danced with them. Their performance was really beautiful and I know that they put a lot of effort and practice to turn this show into a real disco theater. Last but not least, the song Hallelujah, the dancers were put up a really good performance on that one. I did not expect to see the many dancers performed in the dark that well on the stage. When the light shined on them, they…

Firstly, the prologue of the play acts as a quick overview of the main points in the play as well as setting the play up. “Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,”, this tells us that there are two rivalling houses in Verona, where the play is set. “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life”, this shows that two lovers from opposing families fall in love and commit suicide. The role of the prologue is to give a basic outline of the plot and its…

artistically during a performance than in class. I think it is due to the energy in the atmosphere. When I step onto stage and the lights are on and the audience is in the dark, there is an energy present between the dancers and the…

of the dance is compared to my personal interpretation. The dances on campus also gave a sense of mystery, but is was not as strong due to knowing people performing and their personalities and how that affects their dancing. Leaning from outside performances also gave me better knowledge of how to observe. Watching outside movements and see how much more advanced professionals are, but how they still incorporate the most basic movements that we have learned in class. Seeing professional…

Thoughtful acts can be many things maybe you tell someone you like their shoes or help someone out. A thoughtful act can take on many forms from a little jester to the biggest jester, even the littlest acts can take a big form. Here's a scenario let's say if someone is walking down the hall at your school. Caring all their books and papers, somebody trips him, sending his books and papers flying through the air. The person may become upset about it but doing a thoughtful act like help them…

I liked all the main characters, in particular, I liked King Charles. Fin Ong pulled off a superb performance as King Charles. King Charles was childish, very loud, easily angered and, contrastingly, also sincerely patriotic. Fin was able to express this childishness through his impatient gestures and oddly comedic tone of voice. This childish tone was…

It is the grand gathering of musical party goers to the famed playboy mansion of LA, California. The party consists of several musicians and celebrities including Brian Hugh Warner or ''Marilyn Manson'', Neil Gaiman, Amanda Palmer, James Euringer, Lindsey and Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro, and several others. The party is set far into my future I may or may not have, in which we are celebrating the release of my very first album. The characters I have chosen, I have chosen out of…

Radiolab Playing God with Sheri Fink First of all, it was very emotional and the wrestling with the idea and implementation of triage was thought provoking. Onto the actual structure of the piece. I enjoyed all of the background music and noises. For example, when reporter Sheri Fink described the scene of the refugees in Macedonia being stuck between the borders, the inclusion of the murmuring sounds took the story from being mere words to letting me actually “see” the scene with a sea of…

For the third music critique I am going to talk about the performances of Gunnar Biggs and Bill Bradburry. First of all, I must say this was my favorite performance of the semester so far. I love the bass and it amazes me how beautiful the mandolin plays music. The musician who played the bass was Gunnar while the mandolin was played Bill. They both played Irish traditional music, however in their performance they improvised solos when usually you don’t in Irish traditional music. Both Gunnar…
