The nature of this performance is live entertainment. They complete their objectives by providing the audience a wonderful time and teaches all about collaboration as a group. Throughout the show, each dance shows the character of everyone. What I most liked about this performance was their unity in every performance, they would stick together and had the same rhythm to follow, while they were keeping their own sense of style.

The space, time and usage of dynamics were powerful yet elegant-elements that added to the overall quality and tone of the work. The solo dancer used her body to perform various movements with specific ranges of motion, showing her ability to control, express and properly connect to the audience through her performance. In this performance, there seems to be a spiritual side when the dancer, Marilyn Banks, sits on the bench and starts to swing her arms in wide semi-circles to show looks of anguish and despair. Ms. Banks also varied movement by quivering her hands-movements such as a shaking or slight trembling with her hands when reaching outwards. She also used a lot of ornamentation or embellishment through her movements. Her body and her path of movement embellished her gestures since she was performing spins across the stage.

She is telling to give you two points of views. Also the movements they used was a mixture of all dances i felt like she wasn't strictly modern even though that's what she danced majority of her life . This particular

As section one develops, we see the woman collapsing to the ground before writhing at the foot of the cloth, the pressure pushing down on her, forcing convulsions, binding her to the ground. Exhibiting solely low and medium levels, conjointly with contrasting dynamics of sustained and vibratory or percussive movements, the woman reaches out to the audience, provoking involvement, and emotional attachment. Her determination and longing for freedom is oppressed as the representational movements manifest. The dancer ascends to an erect position, wrapping the cloth around her and stepping on it, binding herself to the ground. These introverted, constrained movements convey to the audience the dancer's struggle, particularly when combined with the myriad of literal and abstracted movements. The audience are shown her struggle against not only the symbolic interpretation of the ground as her work and the pressure placed upon her to work, but also the literal meaning of being bound and specifically the

In this paragraph I will focus on Body, Action and Space of the dance. The dancer’s body’s movement were sharp and consonant throughout the dance. The dancers action they were walking in the begging and sliding to get the different faces to pop up. French decided to space out her dancers on a large-scale. The levels in this dance were from what I can remember mostly high levels because they were all standing up. The general place of this dance was upstage. The relationship between the dancers were at times connected but also at times alone.

You do not need to be a member --or be fond-- of the nineteenth century Russian landed aristocracy to grasp any of this. Nor do you have to be an expert in Russian socio-economic history, a Westerner, a One Percenter in the United States of 2016 .... And you don't really need to know all that much about choreography and music either. Deep down this is why people of all kinds flock to see this ballet. Its themes and messages are universal and have the potential to resonate within every one of us. It will continue to be so for as long as we retain our humanity. This is an example of an artwork that transcends the time that produced it.

My last point is about the dancers’ techniques, which especially relates to the timing of their piece. While observing the dance, I couldn't help but notice the amount free movement being used. I don’t necessarily think that using free movement was the best idea for this piece, because the tempo of the song Clarity is very technical. In my opinion, if the dancers had increased their technique to perfect their piece, it may have looked professional and complete.

The piece was presented calm and simple but the intention affected every American recovering from the event mentally, physically, and emotionally. The rhythmic drum beats and the dancers gracefully projecting their positive message at Lincoln Center. While presenting this piece, the dancers made no acknowledgment of the presence of the bystanders. It was every spiritual and the inner soul. The dancers began with arms and legs close to the overall core center of the body, then alternately projecting one arm in staccato towards the sky as an indication of the towers. The dancers keep this routine while they move in a circular pattern in Sudden Time around the fountain and progressively making the symbol of peace.

When you start to watch the choreography, you can see the pain and the struggle. It was almost as a disbelief. At 4:58, you see both dancer in white gowns, with their back against the wall, they lean inwards and outwards, slowly sliding down in pain, and suddenly they tumble. One gets up, and runs around blindly, like she's looking for something. You can really feel something painful, something thats hard to comprehend. A pain that doesn't seem to have a way out. They are in a dark space, a caffe with tables and chairs tumbled over. This performance, can touch anyone, no matter of the way you see

Although lines, technical form, and tricks were being executed beautifully the Beethoven out played the dancers and I craved the larger dynamic of the group I had seen previously. Once exhaustion set in, I then saw the unison at the end differently each dancer became more authentic, with more to offer the rich context. A line of gestures formed while the dancers added an interesting groove, each finger gun alongside each surrender became a conversation within who is fighting and who’s questioning. The dancers move up stage fading from sight, and we are left with only their silhouettes.

This illustrates how the film focused on the idea around "multicultural utopia," and dance was viewed as a medium which implied that bodies are no longer controlled by racial categories; it is a medium that functions primarily on the basis of equality and meritocracy. Hence, the plot was different in an exceptional manner as it embraced multiculturalism. In addition, in the handbook, "Movies, Moves and Music," the author mentions, " films are pitched around the choreography, where the actors are not expected to sing, but they must dance. " This is shown when the two groups Breakin Point and Ballet Dancers show off their skills to one another.

I felt that the dance was extensively dependent on the music, specifically the lyrics. As the repetition of the lyrics began, the dancers began the repeat similar movements; for example, when the lyrics repeat “slip, slip, slipping down”, the dancers physically slip away from each other as when she slowly slides to the floor only to be caught by his grasp. The music coupled with the lyrical movements of the dance made me feel as if the dance was telling a story of a couple. The music starts with a smooth swaying rhythmic feel steadily intensifying as the dance progresses. The movements of the duo matched the music starting smooth and steady but becoming sharp and direct in certain aspects of the dance, such as when he holds her in his arms almost as if she is lifeless and swaying to the music; however, in contrast later as the beat picks up, her movements are direct with sharp angular lines of her legs as she separates from her partner. I feel like the music allowed them to tell a story of a couple passionately in love but struggling to continue on. The intimate nature of the dance and consistent push and pull effect from the dancers alludes that they are in a relationship. The entire dance the couple is intertwined with each other, slipping away separately but pulled back in by the partner, until ultimately he slips through her grasp as he forcefully pulls away leaving her lying on the floor.

My general reaction to the composition is that without seen the ballet you can pretty much have an idea of what is this piece about. It doesn’t provoked you a feeling of tranquility as you would expect from the music of that time period, rather it makes you feel anxious and uncomfortable throughout the all piece, and especially the combination of high pitch and bass instruments.

The video consists mainly of action. Perhaps the only stillness that may be considered are moments in the slower, more exaggerated moves. The stillness and slow exaggerated moves are then coupled or followed by, most often, quick action. It conveys an urgency in the story that the dance in the video tells of. The action, as a movement concept tells a story, which is the goal of the video.

The movement starts with a brass fanfare with triplet figures. This part was very light, short, and bright. The strings then played the main theme of the song and the rest of the orchestra joins. This melody was very flourished with trills in the phrase. Everything was crisp and light and the timpani provided support to the main melody. The brass section then joins the melody and crash symbols add emphasis to the melody. Accented percussion gave it a sense of grandiose. The melody continues to repeat and then a new melody was introduced in the upper voices. Other instruments join the melody and this repeated for some time. After this section the main theme of the song was played again. Then, the dynamic drops all of the sudden and it switches to a much more lyrical melody. The melody contained longer note durations and was very legato. Smaller intervals make it much more smooth. Other instruments play a ostinato underneath with faster duration notes to push the phrase. The brass fanfare then comes in and is played underneath the melody. This serves as a transition back to the main theme. The fanfare is then played again and flute trill was being played underneath and then there is a ritardando until the
