Dance Of Concert Response Paper

Since my sophomore year in high school I have been a part of a very unique dance group. This group is known as Alma Folklorica de Oklahoma, which translates to Fokloric soul of Oklahoma. We are a dance group that performs traditional dances from the country of Mexico. In my hometown there is strong Hispanic population, but more predominantly from Mexico. It first started as a community group, but eventually it became a school program. When it began people in the community still were apprehensive of newcomers in the community, mostly to the new coming Hispanic population. It began as a transitional program, mostly to show the beautiful culture of the newcomers. After a couple of years it eventually became a high school class. In the early years of it as a class at the high

The opening of Todd Rosenlieb Dance Company’s season is a performance fortified with modern dance works even including Erick Hawkin’s New Moon. Performances were held November 13-14th at 7:00pm at the Tidewater Community College Roper Theatre. The purpose of this performance was to celebrate the ten years of pure accomplishment by the company. The music selection for the various excerpts of the companies works were composed by: Meredith Monk, Johann Strauss, Tom Waites, Agustin Baríos, Nina Simone, Lou Harrison, and Frank Sinatra. Also with costumes by Ricardo Mendelez and Erick Hawkins including set designs by Ralph Dorazio.

On stage you will see 14 dancers experimenting with plastique, light and music. They will be donning various images, turning every ritual into farce. They are incarnating myriads of lives never repeating, they are utterly candid. The objective of their everlasting experiment is to cognize themselves so deeply as to dispense with their masks. Yet, the spectators will be the main participant of their

Saturday, February 25, 2017 at the Oscar F. Brockett Theater, the UT Dance Repertory Theater presented a dance concert titled Momentum. The performance featured eleven unique pieces that were meant to “investigate and celebrate diversity in dance” with the community. These pieces presented, were a tribute to two important African American events in dance: The First Negro Dance Recital in America and Parallels. These two pieces are important to African American culture because they helped transform contemporary American dance.

As a beginner dancer at MHS, it is really important to go to dance concerts because it will help us improve our dancing. The concert I went to was known as SJDanceco, and this concert was located at Santana Row’s park. This event had started at 10 am and had ended around 5 pm. I had went at 10 am and left around 2pm because it was a really fun experience. I had seen many cool and different choreographies with different types of dances. On the other hand this concert has occurred on 4/23/2017, which is on a sunday. There were approximately 88 - 91 performance groups that had gathered and performed on this special day. This was SJDanceco’s 15th anniversary, so this could be a reason why there were so many groups. Even though there were too many choreographers to name, all of their choreographies were all amazing. Their choreos showed us how much work and effort they put in, and I believe all of them put in lots and lots of hard work and effort.

I am reviewing the University of Colorado’s performance of Karen Zacaria’s play, Legacy of Light, directed by Jennifer Hubbard. I will be focusing on the shifts between time periods and how these convey the overall message of the play, along with analyzing the acting for their overall effect on the performance. The production was complex but I will explore these specific points more closely to understand the overall meaning.

The Senior Dance concert, 9 o’ clock showing consisted of seven dance pieces. The first piece was called “Heavy Dew”, this piece was comprised of a six-person group dance. The backdrop was a blue shading. The sounds in this piece were waterfalls, and rainforest sounds. The movements made me feel as though the dancers were creatures in a wilderness or a rainforest, it was fast paced. For the first part of the performance the group of girls are dancing in front of the audience together, then as the music turns to be more serious and intense, there is just one dancer on the stage. Then, once all the dancers come back onto the stage, the music starts to soften and slow down again and the lights begin to dim for the remainder of the performance.

Starting the semester with this activity provided a new insight to the way our peers dance. We have all danced together for quite some time no, and while it is apparent we each have our own personal styles we bring to a dance, this is perhaps the first time we explored what may influence each of those

Another production that I felt contained the greatest value in performance content and characteristics was Elmira College’s very own Orchesis. The content of Orchesis was also unlike any other production that I attended all semester because it wasn’t limited to just one genre of dance. The several performances embedded within the show comprised of several diverse genres of dance ranging from ballet, to hip-hop, to tap, to jazz, to contemporary. This increased the production’s vale because we rarely get to attend a show that consists of a variety of styles with each one triggering a different mood.

This motif of “the play of light and shadow” Chiaroscuro referenced was seemingly extended by Program Seven of the Here/Now Festival throughout the evening. Two works representative of “shadow”, Funérailles and Oltremare, were interspersed between three—Ash, Common Ground, and Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes—in which “light” predominated.

Charlotte and Gary have been dancing partners for most of their lives. They have competed in numerous dance competitions in the country. They have won most of the competitions that they have participated in. There is a video from a 2010 dance competition that was posted on YouTube . The couple did a jitterbug dance to "Me And Bobby McGee" by Rhonda McDaniel.

On November 3, 2017, I want to see a live performance performed by a student in the Dance Department at the University of California, Riverside. Before the performance stated, I was excited because I had never attended a live dance performance. I was pretty satisfied because I was really engaged with the work of Hyoin Jun. I thought that his dance was really unique since I had never seen this type of dance before.

Throughout the years, the technique and artistry of the contemporary format of modern dance today has evolved from the traditional modern dance companies. As seen in “Promethean Fire” by the Taylor Dance Company and the contemporary performance on Season 10 of “So You Think You Can Dance” by contestants Amy and Travis, the technique has evolved from

The scorching sun was gleaming through the window, of the older and damaged school. The crowd was screaming unclear words. The little space I had on the sidelines was slowly disappearing, as people push ambitiously to see the little girls dancing happily on the stage. I kept wondering what will happen when the dance recital is done will we just get ice cream or a treat like what we normally do? Or will we celebrate? I tried to think happy thoughts, but The music was blasting in my ear and I could not hear when my dance instructor happily shouted

On the evening of November 21st, the Collegiate dance teams united together again to put on an amazing performance. Ballroom, world, contemporary and specialty teams came together in a swirl of colorful costumes and dazzling lights to stun and impress the audience in the Kirkham auditorium.
