The scenes and props complimented the attire of the performers, blending together create a magnificent display. The scenery was realistic enough to afford the viewer an escape into depths of the show. The setting was beautiful and the structures almost lifelike, excepting the absence of a front screen door. It seems that almost all plays and television shows I have viewed neglect this detail. The stage lighting played a key role in the show by setting the mood of the performance during soulful, pensive songs. In contrast, the lighting proved to be a detriment by overbearing the performance of the artists, in that one’s attention was drawn to the glare of extreme quantities of makeup rather than the actions of the characters. This was most notable during the final portions of the production.

Chapter two was an emotional rollercoaster. Some events were joyful and celebratory such as the first rice ceremony while some events were melancholy like Ashima’s father dieing. The first event that took place in the book was Gogol's birth. This event brought me joy and happiness because, the parent characters otherwise known as Ashima and Ashoke were overjoyed at the sight of their infant. In addition, Gogol's birth is an important stepping stone to their life in America. His birth started their life in America because that's when Ashima and Ashoke, specifically Ashima started to realize what living as an American family was like. Before and for a short period of time after Gogol was born. Ashima was set on having her grandmother name him

My life is clearly represented by the symbolic choices I made. Everything I drew means something important to me. The CN Tower and the running man that I drew on the bottom portion of the page are excellent examples of this. The running man represents my passion of running and desire to chase after my dreams. The CN Tower represents the city of Toronto and the place in which I was born and raised in.

The Light bulb changed the lives of many people; it had a big impact on illuminating the night. The night was always dark until the light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879 and ever since then, the night has been able to be bright if people wanted it too. The story of the light bulb begins long before Edison patented the first commercially successful bulb in 1879; in 1800 Italian inventor Alessandro Volta developed the first practical method of generating electricity, the voltaic pile, made of alternating discs of zinc and copper, the pile conducted electricity when a copper wire was connected at either ended. An English inventor by the name of Humphrey

Such as, when the show began there were a few moments of music with the lights blacked out. When the song was cut, the lights were switched on and the production began. This faint, yet dynamic lightwork left me impressed and wondering about the hours went into making it so precise. Further into the play, I noticed that the lights were fully lit in the centre where all the actors were. But on the sides, upstage left and center stage right, I noticed that it was more dimmed at those areas because it was not our main focus as an audience. For music, she used only two songs for the entire play. Creatively, they used a “radio” and their voices as their music. For sound effects, she used telephone rings, chimes and gunshots. Overall, even though Jacq did not focus too much on lighting and sounds, I find that she did a great job especially because she didn’t try to overdo it with just

Experiments in electric generation had been under way for decades, and by 1878, the Avenue de l'Opera in Paris was lit with electric arc lamps. But arc

When discussing the design elements, I feel as though the element of light gets overlooked more times than not. Throughout the entirety of the performance, light played a key role in developing effects, and creating a visual reality. The first instance we saw light was in the myth of the greedy father and his daughter. In the story, the father is granted one wish; that everything he touches turn to gold. Unfortunately for the man, his wish comes true and every single thing he touches is instantly transformed to gold. In order to display this element of the play, a golden light was shined on any object the father touched, including his daughter. This light illuminated the action of the story and worked to fulfill the director’s concept. As an audience, we also saw the use of light during an actor’s important set of lines. In

Theatricality is the use of light and shadowy dark to create a spotlight effect, also known as tenebrism. The artist painted tiny segments of windows behind the figures to allow the bright afternoon sunlight to penetrate through it and hit the figures

In 1819, times were different .The conveniences we have now and sometimes take for granted, were not available to people back then .One of those things was the invention of the light bulb. There was a need for this invention because, before light bulbs there were oil lamps. Light bulbs helped because the light lasted longer and also because it allowed for people to do many things at night, such as work. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Edison tried thousands of different materials for his filaments, but most of them produced light or only a short time. He finally tried a carbonized cotton thread, which burned for many hours. Eventually, light bulbs were made using metal

When the first modern light bulb that ran on electricity was created by Thomas Edison who had the invention to be patented in his name on January 27, 1800(Thomas Edison's Patent Application for the Light Bulb (1880) para. 1), people finally had a way to light their homes

In 1821, Michael Faraday created the electric motor, which led the way for other inventions like the light bulb, invented by Thomas Edison in 1879 and the refrigerator, invented by Jacob Perkins in 1834. The light bulb helped to provide a stable source of lighting during the night, and helped to shift from the working schedule of dawn to dusk, and in turn get more things done. It also helped to create a nightlife, where there was for the first time of entertainment in the evening and during the night, with theatres now being able to perform at times other than during the day. One example of this is the Savoy Theatre in London, England, shown in Appendix A. The Savoy theatre in 1881 was the first public building in the world to be entirely lit with electricity. The refrigerator is another example of the importance of electricity, as it allowed food to be kept for a lot longer than before. Meats could now be kept for weeks, which was a lot easier than the 24 hours of before. These are examples of the importance of electricity, and how important entrepreneurs and inventors were to the progression of the Industrial

In the boring forests of Minnesota. A gobbler was born into a small flock of turkeys who were being herded by a fat man. This fat man was a hunter and knew at this time of year was perfect for hunting turkeys because they were large and meaty. The mother turkey was worried and hid from the fat hunter in a tree so she could live another day and raise her young from the fat man. After about 2 years, the young gobbler had turned into a member of the turkey pack, but in those past 2 years his relatives were eaten. He was brave, but also careless and he defended the group from predators and vermin. He thought he deserved to be the alpha male of the pack and challenged the leader many times only to lose. And one day the fat man came back hoping to

Limited design innovations were mostly rooted in the scarce advancements made with regard to lighting technology. Where this began to change and evolve was in the early 1800s, when the gaslight was introduced into the performing arts sphere. The new technology was brought into the theatre industry by William Murdoch and later F.A. Winsor, who used the lights to replace candles in framing the stage

Can you ever imagine a world without light bulb? Before light bulb was created, the night can only be lit by the moon and stars. People working and traveling after sunset could only use candles or oil lamps, which caused many inconveniences. Without any bright light, moving inside your own house even seemed dangerous. However, things changed after the ambitious inventors brought their bright idea, which was to light the world, to life. The invention and the commercialization of light bulb not only changed the way people live, but also became a technological breakthrough for future energy use in our daily lives.
