Specific performance

He Mandu After listening to both versions of the song, I prefer to listen to the second version. The first version it seems out of balance in how everyone was singing. It seemed that the singers on the right side, specifically the one in the red, was doing the most singing. While the left singers to me did not feel as if they were singing as much. I determined this by their gestures and movement of their lips. This is most likely because classical singers are divided into different voice types,…

hours earlier. (Than Bank of America) By giving examples of companies that withdrew their support she shows that many people did not understand the reasoning of the play, and how it wasnt supporting the killing of the president that it was just a performance, and was taken too…

A soliloquy is a device used in drama when a character speaks to himself or herself, relating thoughts and feelings, thereby also sharing them with the audience. However, other characters are not aware of what is being said. William Shakespeare’s soliloquies are written in blank verse of unparalleled variety, invention, and rhythmic flexibility, suggestive of the rapidly changing moods of their speakers. Through soliloquies, Shakespeare’s Macbeth explores the way characters wrestle with their…

Working on a play like Sure Thing in the classroom would help developing actors learn the importance of timing and recognize how important it is to keep a scene moving if working on their improvisational skills. While this show was scripted(I think), it seemed as if it were an improvisational show and every time the bell was rung, the actors had to change the direction of the scene. To make the scene successful, the actors had to react quickly after the bell was rung, and stay focused. At times…

Looking back, I never thought this day would arrive so fast. Not the day of writing the self review, but Music Night. I can remember looking at the white-board as Mr. Snodgrass was writing down the date of the performances, and thinking about why he was bothering to tell us about them so soon. The two months really did pass quickly though, and before I knew it, it was December 6th, and Music Night. While I would normally not be pleased about time moving so fast, in this case I really cannot say…

Parkour is a creative way to move the fastest and the efficient way possible. There is such an absence of limitations and a unconditional liberty in Parkour that sometimes it is attribute to a form of art. The distinction between sport and art have always been so confusing. In this text, I will argue that parkour should be consider a sport at the same level of any other individual sport. The idea of sport is over all an athletic activity. Parkour could not fit more into this definition. I’ve…

Singing in front of people for the first time can be a scary experience for anyone, especially in front of peers. You feel vulnerable and scared as you await their feedback; you listen to their critiques and (if they feel like it) their compliments. You’re alone on stage, heart pumping, blood rising, face tinting. All ears are listening for strong vocal control, good tone, clear enunciation, strong support (attained by having good posture and the proper breathing technique), suitable volume, a…

Ted Talks Write-Up # 1_ I. Name and background of presenter (Approximately ½ of a single-spaced page). The first Ted Talk I watched was presented by author Lidia Yuknavitch. Yuknavitch shared her life journey with us and it was heartbreaking and tragic. She grew up physically and sexually abused by the one person who was supposed to keep her safe, her father. In her teens she had aspirations of becoming a competitive swimmer; however she turned to drugs and alcohol to help deal with the pain of…

Jameson Marvin does an excellence job in explaining how the process conductors use to achieve the highest level of performance. He begins by saying, “Mastering choral ensemble – a unified sound image of the whole – is the foundation upon which enlightened, communicative, and inspiring performance takes place.” He explains that there is a process to achieving this mastery, and it is based off of mental-aural image, which is a vision of what the music should sound like. In this chapter, Marvin…
