Specific performance

What a treat; I really enjoyed the event. I was skeptical about going because I did not read the book or have any background knowledge about the author, but in hindsight that did not matter. I was able to listen to relaxing jazz music, sing along with a great singer, and reminisce about my musical days. The incorporation of the black experience throughout the event was a fresh breath of air. I am an Africana Studies minor, so anything about the black experience has my attention! I appreciated…

m it? The first video I watched was, “Sparks: How Youth Thrive” by Peter Benson. This video was mainly about igniting a teenager’s spark or hidden talent. It gave parent’s advice on discovering their child’s hidden strengths. Dr. Benson started his TED-talk by asking the audience questions about today’s generation. Some of his questions included, “What is our vision for American kids?” and “What is your highest aspiration for your child?” While, watching Dr. Benson’s video the parts that…

The performance began with an introduction by two of the players who introduced the audience to the group and shared knowledge about Mozart. I quickly became cognizant of the obvious fact that each of these artists held exceptional talents. The four performers…

still made time for them and he was a great, loving father. Jackson had a lot of things going on at the same time, taking care of his family, parenting children, and managing an influential career, so he probably was overwhelmed at times. His last performance was the day before he died. His death was unpredictable, it was, unfortunately, due to drugs. It’s debated whether or not it was Jackson’s fault. He had a personal doctor who medicated him, and many people think his doctor purposefully…

Among most of her songs and videos, “Alive” is a typical one which always brings people an audio visual feast, and…

With limited space, roughly sixty people can spectate the show. It is dimly lit inside. Although, bright color changing spotlights on the walls shine through the cave. The red lighting creates a dramatic…

In my sophomore year of high school, I was in a play called Greek Mythology Olympiaganza. I made new friends because of this event that I feel I will have for the rest of my life. During this event I learned how to control my actions and feelings while performing. I have wanted to major in acting and to perform in more plays since this moment happened. This event in my life is crucial to me because, it made me realize that I can and want to make people laugh. In my sophomore year of high…
