Dance Marathon

What first catches the viewer 's eyes are the vivid colors used in the painting. Ultimately what jumps out the most is the man on the right 's red robe. The artist intended this for a reason, discussed later. The room where the men are standing is front lit. Also the atmosphere is

Dance began as a form of communication and storytelling. Thousands of years ago dancing served as a way for people to tell a story and helped distract themselves of the hardships they faced. Furthermore, dance was a form of storytelling through communication, which then turned into using storytelling through dance as entertainment. According to the History World, many dancers during the BC time danced in front of only a few people to get a story across. That later turned into hundreds of thousands of people as dance was used by many. Today, dance is also a form of entertainment and storytelling, but in a modern sense. However, today perfection and technique are stressed more than they were in the past. Yet, the passion for dance has not changed. Many dancers who share this passion also have many of the same qualities. Among a discourse community of trained dancers, one expects to find individuals who are healthy and active athletes, expect perfection from themselves through competition, and religiously attend dance performances.

Has Bobby in the The First Part Last come of age? After reading this book many people wonder if he came of age. He came of age when Bobby decided to keep Feather as his own child. Nia, after giving birth went into a vegetative coma state which caused her to basically be brain dead. Being brain dead caused her to not talk,walk, or even make facial expressions.

Looking at this artwork brings a great cast of sorrow to me. The scene of the painting seems dangerous and hostile there is positivity because a group of people is helping one single person. Some visual elements that are prominent to me in this painting include line, the unity of color, and a well noticeable focal point.

The audience of the painting

Dance Marathon right now is able to help everyone in ten of those children (Dance Marathon, 2017). Although this is a great achievement there is always more that can be done. Dance marathon can never have enough money and help. Kaitlyn says “The money is always going to the kids. There can never be enough money to help these kids and their families” (K. Wells, personal communication, April 13, 2017).

Dance Marathon is special to me because I feel that every child deserves to have a healthy life. My 2 years in high school the money we raised when to Children's Miracle Network and now here at BW the money goes to pediatric AIDS/ HIV awareness. As an early childhood education, major children hold a special place in my heart. I feel that every child deserves to be healthy and it breaks my heart seeing some of the things that children have to go through today.

Once past the engulfing foreground the piece allows the viewers eye to travel to the back of the room. Hiding in the background of the piece towards the very left seems to be a ‘back room’, perhaps where the higher stakes games took place in this casino. There is detailed design on the back wall and draping curtains, which alludes to the viewer that wherever this room is that it’s a place of stature and even great affluence. The background colors are all very neutral and gradient, flowing from one neutral shade into the next with the detail on top of the neutrals. This shading effect is result of the use of chiaroscuro technique when applying paint. By using this technique, the use of black paint allows for soft transitions of color that allows for the figures in the foreground to take over the narrative. The colors and clothes of the people are key in interpreting what Frith was trying to tell the viewer. All of the clothes are extremely

This summer I attended MadBoots Dance Company’s five day intensive at the Peridance Capezio Center in New York City. After taking several master classes with them last semester at DeSales, I became interested in their risk-taking choreography and their willingness to recklessly abandon what is seen as traditional in dance. The intensive was three hours long each day and consisted of athletic, contemporary movement with a gaga influence. The company directors, Jonathan Campbell and Austin Diaz, taught excerpts from new pieces such as “Beau” and “Sad Boys”, among other pieces in the company’s repertoire. The company recently performed these pieces at the 2015 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival.

However, there is another Ballerina who is cut off. This allow you to see that the painting is painted on an angle making it seem realistic. This makes the painting unique. The dancers in this painting are in full costume and mid-dance showing that this is not a rehearsal rather a performance. The coloring of the painting is soft and is not bright.

When thinking of a specific type of dance, the vast majorities of the time people generally relate and direct the art form to a certain type of culture or race. As times develop and cultures start to merge, people tend to try and get to understand other diversities. This happens especially when we look at various forms of dance, where the people of origin are no longer the only ones who strictly perform it. Shown in the movies “Save the Last Dance” and “Take the Lead” both show a great deal of racial status and stereotypes involving dance, where the minorities try their best to fit in. Proving themselves by showing how they can adapt to other cultures by the flow and movement of their bodies. Both show a great understanding on how people of different races can be brought together by something most people can relate to, dance. To what extent does race inform the dancing as portrayed in the films “Save the Last Dance” (2001) and “Take the Lead” (2006)? To support the following argument stated above, there are several sources that will be implemented throughout the essay found within the dance community (journals, articles and books).

“Hundreds of aspiring dancers turned out at Radio City Music Hall for a chance to audition” (Sandovol, 2013, para. 1). Every year girls take a chance and travel to New York City for a mere chance to follow their dreams to become a Rockette. The girls have had practice after practice with the chance of injury, perfecting every step. They have listened to their coaches and competed in many competitions all for the chance to compete in the ultimate competition: Rockette auditions. Despite the constant hard work and competition dancers undergo, some people believe that dancing is a hobby and not a sport. Dancing is a sport because it has a potential for injury, knowledgeable coaching, and levels of competition.

Renoir’s Dance at the Bougival has dimensions of 181.9 x 98.1 cm. Renoir’s piece focuses on a woman wearing a light pink dress while dancing with an orange-bearded man who is sporting a casual yellow top hat. It is clear in this painting that the main object is the woman. Additionally, both are dancing in an outdoor setting with people drinking, talking, laughing and socializing in the background.

This cultural event was exciting and a workout. Everyone was having so much fun while working out. The event consisted of a lot of people that were in horizontal lines and danced the same exact dance. Everyone had to do the dances at the same time for the dance to actually work. It was very neat once everyone caught onto the moves of the dances.

Filled with shades of red, the upper part of the painting comes to create a strong opposition with the black area below it, itself encircled by a darker red. This painting consisting of three floating rectangles in various colour combinations, creates a sombre mood conducive to spiritual contemplation. With the use of Rothko's saturated colours the viewers are moved
