Recommended: Music and the arts as tools for social change

An event is successful when the audience gives good recommendations. The main factors to reach the goal are within the cultural content, the context/place, the leadership power/political will, the relationships/gained socio capital, as well as resources and planning. All in all, it is about the unique, memorable experience. For bands for a chance the sociological thinking of norms, values, and status is essential since the event concentrates on connecting music and charity. On the one hand, it is challenging to reach the goal of sharing the message and staying „cool“. On the other hand, the question is whether the beneficiary determines the outcome.

or bands for a chance those were the good will and the love for life music. The understanding helps to determine the design lens. The event should have the aim of achieving a development within the community where performance and dramaturgy count in to. (Carla A. Costa, The show must go on) 

„Event dramaturgy entails the extraction of shared meanings enabled by the projection and/or performance of symbolic representations in an event’s activities. Event dramaturgy is a mode of symbolic action (Goffman, 1959) that its enactment takes place through a kind of performance that exemplifies expressive and dramatic dimensions (Schechner, 2003). Turner (1969, 1974) theorized such performances as forms of rituals and social dramas that are expressed collectively through events. Thus, it can be said that the interplay of performance and event dramaturgy shapes a symbolic context in which communities validate or recreate the conditions that make up their social order.“ (Carla A. Costa, The show must go on) Applying the quote on „Bands for a chance“, the event embraced the genres of music transmission, bands, good will, students lifestyle, and a positive feeling about life and hope. The event focused and delivered cooperation, community, social benefit and social interest. A certain value system is recreated and implemented by students. All participants leave with an awareness of children cancer and the positive feeling about life and hope. It fostered the liminality and borders in society of sharing moments

    On October 23, 2016 I went to a concert type of event that different music groups were performing. This event is what Hispanics call a “Jaripeo Baile,” which is a place that people can see other people bull riding like in the rodeo, but this event was only about music groups performing. One of the music groups that performed was a band called “Josecito Leon y Su Internacional Banda Roja.” While I watched the band’s performance it reminded me of how it relates to the themes that were from our readings and discussions that we had throughout the semester.

  • He was Bound to Love You, When He Heard You Sing

    752 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever heard of a story that sings of the “Angel of Music” and the “Phantom of the Opera”? A tale that once you have listened to the sweet melody that you will realized that you've pasted the “Point of No Return”? This love triangle has captivated multitudes ever since the 1910 original Phantom of the Opera was published in France by Monsieur Leroux, although most story lovers recall the musical of the same name by Andrew Lloyd Webber or the motion picture adaption. Although this story has been entertaining people for over a century, in this new era have prerecorded voices and movements begun to overshadow the talented performers of live theater? Although “The lavish screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera (2005) only deepened the damage” of the dislike of musicals made into film “with non-stars in the leads and an unimaginative production,”(Musical),which version, the live performance or the film, makes the story more attractive? To answer these questions, permit this essay to analyze two methods of storytelling: 2011 live performance Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall and the 2005 film, and decide if music and story lovers everywhere have too “turned from true beauty”.

    On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, I attended a musical concert. This was the first time I had ever been to a concert and did not play. The concert was not what I expected. I assumed I was going to a symphony that featured a soloist clarinet; however, upon arrival I quickly realized that my previous assumptions were false. My experience was sort of a rollercoaster. One minute I was down and almost asleep; next I was laughing; then I was up and intrigued.

  • Essay On Riot Grrrl

    547 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout history, music has been the artistic stage of philosphoical output of both ideas, emotions and stories, enducing emotional and cogitational responses from the audience, through it’s representation of ideas and through ‘words in music’. Victor Hugo says- “Music expresses…. that which cannot remain silent” (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885), and is a predominant feature in the early 1990s ‘Riot Grrrl’ movement, in which female-empowerment bands would address modern issues of sexual abuse, racism, and the patriarchy through their underground, punk rock music.

It was a terrible night to go anywhere because it was raining and storming the whole way, but there was nothing that was going to stop us from going to the concert. We where all so hyped up about it and couldn’t wait to head out. My brother, who attends Murray State, had gotten us excellent seats about seventy-five feet away from the stage.

    Punk rock often attains to individuals who are against the order and corruption of society and especially the music industry. As ticket prices for arena shows skyrocketed, the popularity of small underground venues with low entry prices increased.

  • Dramaturgical Analysis

    1189 Words  | 3 Pages

    “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” William Shakespeare may have written these words in As You Like It in 1600, but Erving Goffman truly defined the phrase with his dramaturgical theory. Dramaturgical analysis is the study of social interaction in terms of theatrical performance. Unlike actors though, who use a script telling them how to behave in every scene, real life human interactions change depending upon the social situation they are in. We may have an idea of how we want to be perceived, and may have the foundation to make that happen. But we cannot be sure of every interaction we will have throughout the day, having to ebb and flow with the conversations and situations as they happen.

In this paper, I will be discussing each individual show in depth, and then continuing on to compare the two concerts.

  • Forum Theatre Essay

    1473 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his book ‘Games for Actors and Non-actors’ (2002), Boal likens forum theatre to invisible theatre, but unlike with invisible theatre where the spectator is unaware they are part of the action, forum theatre makes the spectators conscious of their involvement in the piece. This makes them what Boal refers to as the spec-actor. Forum theatre starts the same way all most theatre “the show is performed as if it were a conventional play. A certain image of the world is presented” (Boal, 2002: 243). Once the first performance is over, it will begin again, but this time the audience or ‘spec-actor’ is allowed to stop the performance at any time, make their way onto the stage and make the chances they think necessary to change the original outcome of the piece. This aspect makes it a good theatre practice to help people tackle issues that may occur in daily life such as abuse or suicide, as well as perhaps more pressing political issues. Its ability to adapt its stories to what is considered relevant to society means that it can continue to work as a means of highlighting issues for an unprecedented amount of time. It was in it’s most basic form an attempt to portray society’s issues through theatre and give people the opportunities to come up with

The people were friendly and the tickets were based on donation. The greeters were wearing t-shirts advertising the show and they were friendly to guests. There were no concessions but the lovely t-shirts the greeters were wearing were on sale.

  • Importance Of Theatre

    1376 Words  | 3 Pages

    For thousands of years, people have been arguing that theatre is a dying art form. Many people think theatre is all just cheesy singing and dancing or just boring old Shakespeare, but there is much more to theatre than those two extremes. Theatre is important to our society because it teaches us more about real life than recorded media. Theatre has been around for thousands of years and began as a religious ceremony that evolved into an art form that teaches about the true essence of life. Theatre can incorporate profound, and provocative, observations of the human condition that can transcend time; lessons found in Greek plays can still be relevant to the modern world. People argue that the very essence of theatre is being snuffed out by modern

  • Descriptive Essay On My First Concert

    895 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is an event that I just can describe as one of the most unique and memorable in my life: attending my first concert. After years of listening to Ron Pope’s music, watching his YouTube channel, and following all of his social media accounts, the satisfaction of seeing someone whose music has been the soundtrack to my life for so long was unreal. There were moments that I had to internally remind myself that this is, in fact, happening in real life. Being a dedicated (some may say eccentrically so) fan is tough work – and I was rewarded with two hours of pure magic for one night. Attending my first concert was a unique event that I will always remember fondly because of the atmosphere, the amazing performance and the sense of connection
