Some talents included violinists, pianists, gymnasts, artists, dancers, artists, and much more. We can all agree that the performances were awesome, and that we have a bunch of talented people in our camp. What we loved about the talent show of Week 7 is that it showed off each person’s
The majestic ranges of western North America – the Rockies, the Sierra Nevada, the cascades, and the Coast Ranges – arose more recently.
Jazz is a music genre that is very rich in culture which is why I decided to attend a Jazz concert. This was my first Jazz event I had ever been to. I went to see the band The Chairman and the Board. This was a blues swing band. Having been to other concerts, I was expecting something similar as far as atmosphere and crowd. I was proved very wrong as this concert defied all my expectations and was in a whole different field as far as life entertainment goes. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the audience. The age range of this audience was mainly 40-70. I definitely felt like the odd man out when I was there. It did get me thinking though, why was this audience so much older? I looked into the era of when most of those people
Throughout the years, America has pursued the performing arts in a large variety of ways. Theatre plays a dramatic and major role in the arts of our society today, and it takes great effort in all aspects. Musical Theatre, specifically, involves a concentration and strength in dance, acting, and singing. This is the base that Musical Theatre is built upon. For my Senior Project, I helped choreograph multiple scenes in a community musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie”. Choreography is a way of expressing oneself, but it has not always been thought of for that purpose. Agnes de Mille’s expressive talent has drastically affected how people see choreography today. Agnes de Mille’s influence in the world of dance has left a lasting impact in the Performing Arts Department, and her revolutionary works are still known today for their wit, lyricism, emotion, and charm.
...ep performance. Shining as the main focus, the simplistic technical aspects enhanced the mood and the embodiment of the characters they portrayed. Technically and physically the preciseness and the fast paced movements behind every count sold the performance. They “could have not put in more content if you tried” (Dancingwts09) judge Bruno Tonioli. Proving in the end the bond that was formed and the quality not quantity of the dance, and the support from the nation could Kellie and Derek entitle themselves as season 16 Dancing with the Stars Champions. Winning the coveted mirror ball trophy.
The book opens up with a quote by the German proverb, “you will become clever through your mistakes.” I agree with this quote 100% because through personal experience mistakes are the best way I learned on the softball field. It has helped me grow as a player, teammate, and person. I guess a great way to start off this paper is the way he defined talent. Talent in the strictest sense is the possession of repeatable skills that don’t depend on physical size. That being said no matter what size you are the skills you possess is where talent is born for athletes.
The first band performance of the night was jazz band. The first song was “Alright, Okay, You Win” and I think it sounded great. I feel like I could’ve played out just a little more in the beginning because you can hear my notes but not too well. Jeremy’s solo sounded good and I think that my solo sounded good too. The next song was “Fly Me to the Moon.” I
...aphy shows the devotion of the dancers to their craft. As a dancer myself, watching the performance I was starstruck by the weight carried by even the simplest of movements. Each performer had passion and an unbreakable focus that emphasized every action. Through their facial expressions the dancers emoted feelings of joy, anger, jealously and more. Being an audience member at this performance showed me a whole other perspective to a dance piece, as I am usually the one that is on stage. With a performance coming up, I learned the importance of presence on stage from the dancers in the show. Each one had a strong presence that made them captivating, you couldn’t ignore them. I am excited to perform now and am inspired to put even more effort into dance. All in all, I found the Alvin Ailey performance inspiring and it drove me to improve as a dancer and a performer.
I considered myself a performer, and after years training as a classical ballerina I expanded into stunting and tumbling. While on tour, I developed friendships and bonds with dancers strengthened by a mutual love for dance, a commonality over the pain our bodies endured daily, and conversations on bruised and broken toes.
I also liked that the Soloist Joan provided a brief background of why she was going to perform a song and what it mean to her. She would ask the audience if they can relate to certain situations. For instance, prior to signing her rendition of Etta James “Your Eyes” a moderato song, She asked, “You ever had enough?, so you have your bags packed at the door, ready to go and as you make your move, you feel a touch from behind, when you look into that person eyes, “Damn your Eyes” and then she begins to sing the song, in-between captivating the audience attention with more questions. Joan Belgrave, also sang to a member of the audience which he shyly participated, that carried a little humor. As the end of the song, I notice that the brass instruments and drums is what made the Etta James song really
Music is a passion of mine, this comes with my love for performing on-stage. I play guitar in the School Ensemble and clarinet in the School Concert. I was also proud to be awarded a third place for reciting the Quran (in Arabic) at the Annual Qirath Competition 2014, which is indeed a vocal competition.
Moving on, I will talk about our ensemble’s most outstanding elements. As a whole, I thought our appearance was great, and that our band played reasonably well throughout the concert. I would say that our last two pieces were our best ones. I felt that compared to last concert, we had improved our quality of sound and our musicality.We had better dynamics, and we sounded more together. The least effective elements of our ensemble as whole, were probably the first two songs.Our biggest issues throughout our concert were that at times, we were too quiet, and also that when we had to jump up to play a higher note, we fell flat. Additionally, I felt that our musicality was not as apparent in the first two songs as it was in the last two. Our dynamics and articulation seemed a bit lacking, and certain instruments were overpowering others. Overall, our ensemble seemed to have improved greatly since our last concert.

Theatre has heavily evolved over the past 100 years, particularly Musical Theatre- a subgenre of theatre in which the storyline is conveyed relying on songs and lyrics rather than dialogue. From its origination in Athens, musical theatre has spread across the world and is a popular form of entertainment today. This essay will discuss the evolution and change of musical theatre from 1980-2016, primarily focusing on Broadway (New York) and the West End (London). It will consider in depth, the time periods of: The 1980s: “Brit Hits”- the influence of European mega musicals, the 1990s: “The downfall of musicals”- what failed and what redeemed, and the 2000s/2010s: “The Resurgence of musicals”- including the rise of pop and movie musicals. Concluding
Everything in life is not paid for with just a quick paycheck from an everyday job. These type of people are the ones who go through a lot of tough breaks, whether it be finding a way to pay for everyday for themselves or needing the money to support a child. The whole point of these reality shows would be showing us as an audience, that some shows give off ideas in the brain such as pawning for money ,and others show that it can be worse than others, like raising a child. People who watch these kinds of shows are getting a huge kick out of what others do not, as in money. In America these type of shows are popular because they are feeding of people 's minds, and showing the start of people’s hardship lives.
