Recommended: The concept of improvisation

Chapter 1: I performed in the camp talent show. I sanged a song called waiting for life by Lachanze from the musical Once on this island and someone played by piano. I was really proud of myself and I found so much confidence in myself. The song that I sang was really described myself. After I sang I couldn't believe that I actually sang that whole thing without messing up. When I finished everyone stood up and cheered so much. Then when I went outside my two counselors were so proud of me they both were crying because ever since day one at camp I was very shy and I had a lot of stage fright but I accomplished that. Then when everyone went inside I stayed outside sobbing my eyes out because I was so proud of myself and I’ve never done anything like that in my whole life and it felt so nice.

I learned how to improvise more in acting like how to stay in character. I was in a musical theatre also and I learned so much on how to act out and sing at the same time. It’s kinda like the same as singing and walking. Chapter 2: I participated in the school musical last year called Once on this Island Jr. I played the role of Mama Euralie I was a mom with a husband and 2 daughters. I had my very own hardcover script from broadway junior. I had about 19 lines total. I was in about 7-8 scenes. So there was a lot of staging. Because I had a big role and I had a bunch of solos I had to get mic attached to me so that everyone in the audience can hear me. It really exciting to have one for the first time because after all of my other previous years of performing I never got one because I had an extra role. When I had the mic on it was hooked on my hip then the wire came around my back and taped to my ear. It was burning hot because of the battery and it was connected to the

  • Simple Marie By Isabel Linde Analysis

    When noticing a person who wears a similar clothes everyday, one may wonder what their intentions behind their attire is. In Isabel Allende’s story “Simple Marie” featured in The Stories of Eva Luna, the clothes are taken in a figurative sense just as much as in a literal function. Just as clothes are made to cover up one's physical body, clothes can be interpreted as a covering of one’s soul and true identity. Although, not very evident on the surface of the story, one can discover the intentions of Maria, by correlating the situation to her attire. The symbolism that Allende creates within the clothing of Maria illustrates a deeper sense to her vulnerability and reasoning within the situations of her life.

    Even if I didn’t make it, I don’t think anyone realizes what you learn when training in this profession. Musical theatre has allowed me to step up, commit to my work, become more confident and to have fun! You learn to become focused and pay more attention to detail. Building sets, reading scenes and learning music betters your communication and listening skills. All of these skills I have acquired over the last few years and I they are still helping me to grow.

We had 5 minutes of halftime the team and I were so upset that we were losing so we decided to pray to gain our confidence back. Once halftime was over starting five went back in we started well with defense once again, we stole some passes, but didn’t make all baskets to catch up to. Until last quarter I made 12 points and I was so happy to make 12 points for the to catch up against our opponent. Our team was still a few behind at the end of the game we didn’t win but I was proud of myself for making those 12 points for the team even if we did not win. My teammates and coaches were so proud of all of us not just me but of each one us for working together not to lose by a lot and not making ourselves look like fools. It was the first since tournaments that I realized that we had a great team that would support each other during a game.

Being involved with the musicals is some of the most fun i’ve had in my highschool career. I’ve always tried out for the highschool musical and always gotten a part, and just last year I helped the backstage crew of the middle school musical. Just being a part of it is what I like the most, being a single part in an entire production, and i’m the person who was best fit for that specific part. It makes me feel unique and different knowing that I was picked for that certain part. Last year I got my first actual lead as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard Of Oz.

  • Personal Narrative: Joel B. Short

    574 Words  | 2 Pages

    One lesson that has stayed with me into adulthood is how to take direction. The high school theater teacher was Joel B. Short. To me, his name has always invoked a perfect image of the man. He was squat, round, and usually jolly. When he laughed his face was reminiscent of an elated chipmunk with acorns stuffed into its cheeks. His Hawaiian shirts were as loud and bad as the high school band in the orchestra pit. Mr. Short would provide blocking, offer constructive criticism, and demand attentiveness from the cast during rehearsals. If any of his directions were ignored, missed because of inattentiveness, or misunderstood due to distraction his typical lighthearted demeanor would turn into

    There’s just something about being on stage that makes you forget everything else except the story you are creating for the audience. After that performance I did everything I could to learn more about drama. Going to the library and borrowing song books, watching interviews, and listening to cast albums and clips from shows filled my time. I learned about the best composers, like Sondheim and Rodgers and Hammerstein. Even my English assignments became linked to my love of drama, writing biographies about Sondheim and creating mixes of famous work for music

  • Personal Narrative: Bleeding Love By Leona Lewis

    270 Words  | 1 Pages

    My freshman year of high school I tried out for a solo in choir in front of the class. I sang “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis and I made four people cry, but I didn’t understand why. I thought maybe it was just because they connected with the song, I mean there was no way I could have moved them with my self-taught, mediocre voice. I asked one of the girls why they cried later that day and she responded, “I didn’t know you’ve been so heartbroken before, I could feel your pain.”. I was confused, I never actually had felt the pain. I found out that day that I didn’t have to write words on paper to send a message, I could sing them or speak them. At the end of that year I tried out for the musical and I joined the chorus and I have been

  • Reflective Essay On Theatre

    Before I started Introduction to Theatre class, I had been only to a couple of plays in my life. Just in this semester I’ve been to about ten plays and have learned so much about the art of theatre. The information I retained from class will help out a lot in the future, but the most important part of this class was the shadowing experience of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With being able to get an inside look at this play during rehearsal and then going to see the performance was an incredible experience. By going to the rehearsal and then seeing the show, I was able to learn and understand more on how the theatre works. From there, I could understand the long process the actors and directors have to go through before the opening show happens.

  • Personal Narrative: The Day I Won My First Pageant

    1242 Words  | 3 Pages

    I didn’t show up at the Miss Lanier pageant expecting to win. There were at least 15 other girls competing against me. I just wanted to have fun that day. I was nine years old at the time. I wasn’t nervous at all, not about the 15 girls competing against me, not nervous about the three judges at the front of the stage, not nervous at all. Now that I look back on that day, I realize that I should’ve been nervous; my hands should’ve been shaking, my stomach turning, and my brain in turmoil while waiting to step on stage. But I wasn’t. All I wanted to do that day was have fun and maybe make a friend or two. My mom and I stood behind the stage, waiting, just waiting. At one point the pageant director came to make sure nothing was wrong. Some of the girls next to me were acting like it was Miss Universe, but I was just treating it like a dressed up walk on a stage. Once she left we stood in a line at the back entrance to the
