What does Performing Arts mean to you? To me, it does not just mean “lights, camera, action” or a thing “famous people do”. It is more than that, it means life without judgement. You’re probably wondering what does that even mean? Performing Arts gives you the opportunity to be anything you want to be, while still being accepted and not considered weird or an outcast. It allows you to venture out and experience unlimited opportunities.
Performing Arts has been the place I can call home and the only escape route I can rely on. As a sophomore in High School, I moved to Pebblebrook. The reason I went to that High School is because they have an excellent PA program that helps you to excel in your art. But being the new kid always sucks, especially when you feel like you don’t belong there, but anything new seems scary to a human until you get use to it or try it. The only place I felt comfortable with being myself was when I was in my PA classes. For Example; Vocal, Dance, Musical Theatre, and Drama. Those classes have trained me to be who I am today and put in the amount of effort and energy into any production.

I have auditioned for all the shows since I have attended. Although I have not made everything, I still chose to push forwards in everything I did. With this industry comes rejection and criticism and you have to know how to take it and apply it in a positive way to your work.
Pebblebrook is not the only place I have gotten my training, but AGI Entertainment has also contributed into who I am today. I have trained with AGI since I was 7 years old. AGI is a artist development company that trains and pushes your god given talent to the extreme. They build stars from the couch to the dream and continued to give me various opportunities to launch my career. I have contributed in many plays, church and school choirs, dance studios, and acting
...ilm have the ability to impact our perceptions of others, and they also have the ability to impact the perceptions we have concerning ourselves. Performing arts can be used to create a space to for us to be able to examine areas of our lives, and the lives of others, that we might otherwise not wish to look at. When we do make a space to examine our attitudes, feelings and behaviors, including the outcomes that they may have on others, we may find in our own selves a greater degree of compassion and willingness to accept human imperfection. In doing so, we become more accountable to ourselves and to society as a whole.
Whether it is on the stage acting out roles in a school musical or up in the booth working the lights when I am part of a show I feel at home. It wasn’t until eighth grade until I began to enjoy acting. Our school had a mandatory eighth-grade play in which all eighth graders were required to participate. At the time I wasn’t too sure about the play. The show was The Little Mermaid, and being a typical eighth-grade boy, I thought the show was too “girly.” It wasn't until I received a call-back that I became interested in the show. I remember I ran home to my dad and after asking him what a call-back was, I asked if he could help me in any way possible to get the role of Prince
The reason I find theatre to be so meaningful is because you get to encounter many different people that you would never actually think to associate with. Theatre is a place where everyone can be who they want to be, even if you are not performing on the stage. It doesn't matter if I have the talent to be on stage or organize props, I'm still a part of something.
I joined theatre and choir in high school and now I cannot stop talking. I have become loud and outgoing; I made myself visible again. Like Tom, I have found a home, and like Jenn, I am accepting who I am as a person. And, even though, I am not a stage of complete confidence, I am getting there. Slowly but surely, I am getting
People may experience second hand, through artists, other possibilities of aesthetic, political and sexual freedom they lack in their own lives. This may be one of the reasons why, despite countless predictions over the past few decades, performance art hasn’t died, nor has it been replaced by other mediums.
Hampton Essay For the majority of my academic education leading into middle school I had always attended the best public schools that my city had to offer. At these schools I was able to feed my growing love for the performing arts. Performing had always been a large part in who I was and what I wanted to do with my life so naturally, it was always difficult for me to decide which art I wanted to invest myself in because I loved them all. In middle school I attended a performing arts school where I was able to sing with the school's chorus, dance on the cheerleading squad, and, by the graciousness of the principle, play in the school's concert band.
... a way for audiences and performers to connect on a closer level. They are both experiencing the surreal, disassociating themselves from the performance taking place. They both become more introspective. The performance becomes a vehicle for self-understanding, metacognition.
Performance Art is defined as "a nontraditional art form often with political or topical themes that typically features a live presentation to an audience or
I no longer felt like some sort of outcast at school. Sadly, the sun does not always shine for long. As I began progressing in school and entered intermediate school, I began to realize what judgmental comments came along with not being “American”. A period of confusion overcame my life when I could not understand why some people cared so much about where I was from. I began to wonder if it was right of me to go to school in a country where I was not born. That is when a friend of mine introduced me to a new subject, music. I had heard about the possibility of joining the school’s choir, band, and orchestra program. I decided to try it out because since young, it had caught my attention. Once there I met people from all kinds of backgrounds, there was a large diversity in the groups and they all only cared about one thing, music. Everyone was there to focus on learning and performing music, not just music from the United States, but music from all over the world. Up until that point I had not ever felt more at home. I had finally found the right place to
What does music mean to you? Does it give you happiness, hope, or courage? Music is more than just notes and strings, it's like one big movement. Music brings us all together, like for an example our choir concerts. It gives the students a chance to make new friends and go out of there comfort zone.
A place where you can be a complete stranger, yet feel the wholehearted embrace of other like minded individuals like yourself. A place where no matter how wild an idea, someone is there to collaborate with and to critique you. Growing up, I always considered myself an actor; in fact there isn’t a time I don’t remember trying to “ham it up” in front of chuckling family and friends. For me, the theatre gave me power. This power is in the sense of how the ensemble of a cast can be in control of the audiences’ emotions.
Historically performing was used by animals to attract mates, often with the art of dance or song. Those techniques were so effective that they have lived on and still occur today. Starting in approximately five hundred B.C. however, the performing arts that we know and love came to fruition (Hancock). Theaters started being built out of stone and mud for people to gather around and watch/listen to the acts. Since that period in time, the performing arts have gained a rich history ranging anywhere from spreading awareness for social issues such as racism and homophobia, to encouraging rebellion in oppressive governments. Technology has affected this world with its progression and as such has affected the performing arts. Theaters were once completely open, with pits for the middle class and typically less educated and platforms for the rich and sophisticated individuals (Winthrop University). If in a large venue, actors had to project so much
I've always been very shy growing up; while other children went outside and played I stayed at home and read books. In school I had very few friends that I stuck around with all the time, interacting with strangers was hard and I barely talked in public because of how uncomfortable it made me feel, which is why it was completely incomprehensible when my English teacher, Ms. Cemanes, asked me to join the grade school theater club. Eventually I was coerced enough by my teacher, who was also the club moderator, to join. I couldn't stand how anxious it made me feel to be put in such a situation where literally everyone else was an extrovert made for the stage while I wanted to be anywhere but near the spotlight. We were taught a lot of things, voice modulation, a bit of choreography, pronunciation, and acting.
According to the Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority (ACARA) (2017a, version 8.3) by participating in the four strands of Creative Arts; Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts it enables children to explore, form and express their understanding of themselves and others as they make sense of their world. For instance, when children participate in Dance they are
Firstly, one can see art through acting. Acting is a performance in which one disguises themselves and become a different individual. Acting is an expression of oneself. This act can be seen in plays, on Television and in movies. Acting is important to a society for it provides an escape route as well as a form of entertainment.
