For my jazz performance event, I had the opportunity to attend the Club Heritage Faculty Showcase. This showcase was a part of the jazz series. The group that performed was called Jeremy Long Quartet. At the concert, Jeremy Long Quartet preformed some Jazz classics as well as some original songs. The concert showcase was on Tuesday, October 2016 at 7:30pm Shriver Center, Heritage Room. There were several performers that participated in the showcase. One of the performers, Jeremy Long,…
When thinking of a Classical music concert, the first thing that comes to mind is orchestra. That was not the case on the concert that I attended to. I was able to attend a small performance by a single musician from Juilliard 's school of performing arts. The musician performed works from notable composers such as: Robert Schumann, Leos Janacek and J.S Bach. The instrument of choice by the musician was a viola. The location was very discrete. I have been in school for over 6 months and I was…
Within a performance: Choreography, Communication, Perception, and Interpretation. Choreography Every single movement in a performance play a significant role on the Dance as a whole. As stated in “Evolution of Music, Dance, and Drama” “Dance moves or Dance steps are the building blocks of many dances” (Dance moves or Dance steps 128) Is is the basic unit of dance as Do Re Mi are the fundamental notes to a song. Upon contemplation of which aspect is specifically to be analyzed within the…
Serena Slie had this amazing idea to play music through-out the scenes. This idea was great, because the music complements the mood. In theatre, music usually is used to set the mood, atmosphere, and tone. In my opinion, to have music play throughout the entire production is a stronger statement. When the actors deliver their lines, the music helps to develop their character’s emotions, characterization, and the meaning of the lines. Jatavious has great projection. He projected so well that I…
displayed in each of my pieces has allowed me to develop new skills as well as hone skills I already had. The stress on basic performance strengths means that I have had the opportunity to really perfect them to a high standard while more unique styles of performance enabled me to learn new skills and incorporate them effectively where they are required. In reference to specific techniques I employed, choral speaking and synchronised gestures were a large part of my second piece as that was a…
Shakespeare. We often perceive productions performed in a language other than English as lacking an “essential element of Shakespeare in the process of linguistic and cultural transfer”. While that is true, these performances also gain something that traditional Shakespeare performances do not have when looking at it from a modern perspective. The Elizabethan style of the English language in which Shakespeare used to captivate his audience is not one that is commonly spoken anymore. The little…
Instructional Sequence (instructional strategies and learning tasks) • Introduction and explanation for students of the purpose of the lesson (7-10 minutes) • Tell students they will watch a dance performance that portrays the emotional struggles of a specific person in our countries history. Tell students at the end of the lesson they will work in cooperative groups to create an original dance routine to a song they will hear shortly during the lesson. • Play Sister Moses…
to smoke, he comes back and his hair is not combed any more and it stays that way for the entire show. This causes him to often move his hair out of his eyes throughout the show and it was really distracting. Another problem that I had with his performance is he did not seem like he was doing much when he was not talking. I prefer to have people act in the background to look like they are clearly listening to a person, but that is just my personal preference. In the end, he performed…
through a number of recent projects and initiatives performed throughout the country, including Basetrack Live (2014), Holding it Down: The Veterans’ Dreams Project (2013), and The Telling Project (2008-present). Each of these performances has taken a different approach to performance (e.g. historical dramatization, musical theatre, documentary theatre) and have involved veterans in a number of different capacities (as collaborators, performers,…
From the play The Curse, one of the actors that I think shows some scenes of the play that quite amusing and shows a very good acting to draw other actors and the audience’s attention. Some scenes of the play did express a good idea of acting. The actor/actress is Kris Moe, who played the character as The Spirit of the Forest in some scenes of the play. From three moments of the play, Kris Moe shows some characteristics of being convincing and persuading other characters, not be manipulative,…
