University Event #4: She Loves Me
This past week I attended a theatrical performance by the Susquehanna musical and theater called “She Loves Me”. This play happened last Sunday where everybody, not including me, was with their families and or friends. The Degenstein theater was completely packed and everyone had smiles on their faces when the actors/actress profuse their skills for the benefit of all.
“She Loves Me” starts off in a perfume store where they sell perfumes and other related things to consumers. Out of the people who are employed there, they are three guys who acted as perfume consultant, a girl who acted as a cashier, and another guy who acted as the cheerful boss that has trust issues. Each of these characters have their own …show more content…

It was elegantly performed by the actor/actress knowing their lines memorized and that their ability to have a wide range of emotional output and of singing ability- from the highest note to regular conversation. In addition, to it the performance by the music department was pretty good too by creating additional suspense, building on any other emotions, and them not having any serious clerical errors with either off tune instruments or off synchronized musical notes. Another thing that I really like was the creativity that was put into the sets and of the actors/actress costumes. This additional layer of dedication helps develop more of the plot of a more opulent society of consumerism, a simplistic understanding of the context in hand, and of an almost fairytale storyline between the two lovers. The last one that got me was the emotional aspects of it. At the beginning of the performance, I was depressed with my friends being with their families, but it soon turned around. It changed with actors/actress having some comical lines and or comical performances in order to lighten the

    The music has rather suspenseful and at times over intensified the overtone of the moment instead of accessing the undertones of the moment. The acts were extremely exaggerated including Irene Papas who played Clytemnestra. During her acting at times it felt as though she was being extra exaggerated making it awkward to watch. That being considered there was never a moment that occurred when you felt as though she did not genuinely care about every moment. The actor for Agamemnon Kostas Kazakos there were times that it would have been more appropriate to add more feeling into his scene. Often was a viewer it felt as if he would not make a decision for himself but instead was constantly waiting for someone to react. The setting was incredible. It seemed as if it was truly taped in ancient Greece. It was beautiful and embodied what I would image ancient Greece would look like. The soundtrack was over exaggerate. It would be nice if there was not as much drums. Often times it made the scene have an increased moment of anticipation when nothing major was really

    The way he carries himself and his voice inflections really make the viewer feel like they are in the time period and can envision themselves in the scene of the play. The actor himself really seemed to believe in the play. The way he stormed out of the Ballyhoo scene, it was obvious that he was passionate about the play and really bought into the role. At other times, he spoke to everyone like a true gentleman. The kissing scene was a soft spot in the play, and he did a great job of the whole kiss and the speaking leading up to it. In addition, the actor did a great job of using a different voice in the play. Eastern European Jews were known for speaking differently that German Jews, and his voice was unique and correct for the time

    One of its numerous strengths was the costuming and set. This musical would not have been the same had these elements not come together to transport the viewer. In addition to the costuming and the set, the actors were very well cast. Each actor was in a role that fit them and they portrayed their characters very well. For example, the man who played Glen really seemed like a greedy Wall Street worker. The choreography was also well done. It fit true to the style of dance in the 1980s and added to the immersion experience. The only thing that could have made this experience better would be to add more music. This may just be a personal preference, but when I see a musical I like for the music to be central like it is in Hamilton or Les Miserables. However, this musical was very good and not much could be added to enhance the

    The sound design and choreography intensified the overall musical. They created the time, place, and mood through rhythm and great energy. The actors had wireless, behind the ear mikes, that attached to the mike pack which amplified the sound, making it very clear. I could easily understand what they were talking about or singing.

  • Summary of the Ballet "Giselle"

    The element that stood out the most to me was how effectively the music and the footwork corresponded. The best examples of this are seen through the dancers solos. Especially Albrecht's solo, his feet glide on the stage at the same tempo as the music. Similarly, Giselle's graceful footwork is truly amazing. I really like the similarities between the choreographed footwork and the music, it makes Giselle seem much more elegant and beautiful. This also seems to make the work look more put together and in sync because the dancers are dancing in harmony with the orchestra. The choreography by itself is amazing. The footwork is rapid and intricate, however, at the same time it is delicate and graceful. The ballerina (Giselle) made it look very easy to do the choreography, when it rea...

  • Analysis Of The Film Imitation Of Life

    935 Words  | 2 Pages

    The script of the film was well written despite it being too formal and unrealistic, the way it was delivered still gave me chills. Today, if you watch a film with characters acting so graceful and saying lines such as “Oh, Steve, you don’t know me at all!” or saying normal lines but in a dramatic way? It will probably flop, but if Imitation of Life knew how to handle it. I also loved it when a dramatic scene is happening, the lightning changes and makes the scene even more dramatic. The way how the camera is zoomed to the character’s face to focus on their emotions paired with the melody of the background music adds up to make the scene feel intense when Lora and Steve were just confessing their love for each other. The entire film itself focuses in one or maybe two emotions: sad and gloomy. Each scene would always be paired with a background music that is sad or gloomy, the lines are also too dramatic and doesn’t seem realistic, however it works. I still cried even if I told myself not to cry when Annie and Sarah Jane argued. I still got mad whenever Sarah Jane is pushing her mother away, in the most graceful way with the most graceful words. It also rages me whenever Annie and Sarah Jane are put into a box because of their color, for an instance, when Sara Jane’s boyfriend found out that she’s half black, he

    The main man depicted in this film is Mr. Hart. He is constantly referred to as a "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss. He continually tries to get Doralee to have an affair with him, lies to everyone by telling them they are having an affair, buys her gifts and purposefully knocks pencils on the floor so she'll lean over and pick them up. He insults all of the women and makes them run personal errands like shopping, laundry and fixing his coffee. Even the top men in the organization are aloof. Violet has worked for the company for over 12 years and never met the chairman of the

    The production had many elements which for the most part formed a coalition to further the plot. The characters, the three part scenery and costumes represented well the period of time these people were going through. As far as the performers entering and exiting the stage, it could have been more organized. There were a few times when the performers exited at the wrong times or it seemed so due to the echo of the music. At certain moments the music was slightly loud and drowned the performers. Many of the songs dragged on, so the pacing could have been more effectively executed. Though the music was off at times, the director's decision to have most of the songs performed center sage was a wise one. Also the implementation of actual white characters that were competent in their roles came as a great surprise to the audience and heightened the realism.

    When it came to the dialogue of the production and the understanding of it the performers again did an excellent job. Their gestures and vocal elements all aided in the production’s success and were all fittingly used by the characters. For example, when Lala was talking on the phone with Peachy she casually twirled the phone cord in her hand, leaned against the banister and childishly flirted with Peachy.

  • Watching A Disappearing Number in Theater

    The most successful aspect of the performance for me were the scene changes. I found that the rotation of the blackboard, center stage, where the actors were able to stoop beneath it in order to enter and exit the stage, was an effective touch to this non naturalistic performance. When this was first used, at the end of the first scene, when the characters Ruth and Al left the stage, I thought it didn't quite fit as at the beginning the style was leaning towards realism. But as the play progressed and the acting style became more and more non naturalistic, and this rotation of the black board technique was used more frequently it fitted in really well and became really effective.

There is a great use of camera, timing, shots and story line that are portrayed in this movie without being too overwhelming. This allows the audience to relax during the movie and just take in the scenes as a story from reality. To this day, and even still doing this paper I still come to find different aspects of the movie that I missed the previous times I have watched it.
