Monika Eres Dance 1010 ­ 001 Concert Critique 03.07.2016. Critical analysis of “Badgerette Showcase” I attended the dance concert called “Badgerette Showcase” on March 3, 2016 at 7:30 PM in Horne Activity Center. This concert consisted of 21 unique performances performed by a lot of Utah schools, dance groups and cheerleaders. I picked 4 performances that I liked the best and I am going to be writing about them. Before the show started, the coach introduced all Badgerettes that are in the team…

libretto for Dark Elegies. The world premiere took place in 1937. It was held as part of the Ballet Rambert, in the Duchess Theatre, London on February 19th. In addition to Tudor, there were many other influential members involved in creating this dance work. Gustav Mahler composed the five songs that make up the score and Friedrich Ruckert wrote all of the lyrics. Nadia Benois created scenery and costumes, while Jean Rosenthal designed the lighting (ABT). For this assignment I viewed the…

poem, the author recalls the fragments of his childhood with his father; it is also an expression of the author on the death of his father's nostalgia. My Papa's Waltz has a profound meaning. As we know that the waltz is a solemn, elegant, colorful dance. At that time, it could be said to be a kind of aristocratic entertainment. Theodore Roethke uses the waltz to express people's longing for and the pursuit of a better life in his family. The author sets a particular setting at the beginning of…

I chose to attend the University Dance Theatre rehearsal because I really admire contemporary dance and wanted to watch what the dancers do “behind the scenes,” so to speak. I wanted to better understand the work that goes into the dances instead of just viewing the final piece, which I often do. I chose to watch a Ballet 1 technique class because ballet is a form of dance that I appreciate but never really understood and because ballet contrasts the modern dance rehearsal I viewed. I’ve always…

At the dance, the American boys treated the girls with disrespect whereas the Latin boys treated their girls with manners. This was proven when they were dancing. When the Latin boys wanted to dance with their girls, they motioned the girls with a polite hand. The American boys tilted their head to signal them. Both groups also had a different melody rhythm to their music. Latin music is more structured according to patterns whereas American music does not. The Latin girls at the dance would…

After watching this video I feel like I need to immediately put my kids back in their dance class they were attending until about a month ago, all for good reason. I also felt amazingly blessed for a few different reasons. Although this was the first Ted Talks video I have seen, and the first time watching Sir Ken Robinson speak, I know it will not be the last. Sir Ken began speaking about human creativity and the variety and range. He explained how a little girl was drawing a picture in class…

There I am, stuck in the middle of a room filled with strangers. I scann the room looking for familiar faces, but mostly for good looking fellows. This is the life changing experience I’ve been waiting for, I think to myself. This is Freedom Academy. Kids throughout the entire state gather together for a week ran by the National Guard at a real army camp. My shaking leg bounces up and down from not only the excitement, but the nervous feelings in my stomach. I made sure to come extra early…

"Good choreography fuses eye, ear and mind"-Arlene Croce. Choreography is the sequence of steps and movements in dance or figure skating, especially in a ballet or other staged dance. It is the art or practice of designing choreographic sequences or the written notation for a choreographic sequence. Most of the time choreographers are used in a musical of some sort. They control the dancing and most of the movement you see happening. Even the sex scenes that you see in a play or movie is…

Waltz was a kind of music related to the theme of dance. It replaced elegant but artificial court dance in the old days and reflected the spirit of the new era. Viennese Waltz slightly anticipated the second beat of each measure, making it sound as if the third was late and creating a certain buoyancy. It was popular in Europe, especially in Vienna, because no matter nobility or common people, they liked music and dances. In addition, Johann Strauss I and his son Johann Strauss II were the…

back spot. My job was to catch the flyer no matter the cost to be sure of her safety even if it required hurting myself in the process. Each stunt proposed a risk of being kicked, punched and elbowed. My mind and I were at constant battle. I wanted to step away…
