Children’s theatre is an activity I have positive, first-hand experience in. I have participated in shows and productions in my community and school for as long as I can remember, and I loved every second of it. Since I have a history with the topic, I believed it would be a smart idea to volunteer my time with some sort of children’s theatre organization. I have always known how beneficial children’s theatre has been to me in my own life, however, I will show how everyone’s involvement in community
have or will have completed relating to your OCP country/domestic site: Since I will be studying drama and theatre, I have made sure to take courses that would create a basis of knowledge from which I will build from and thrive while abroad: - Art of Theatre (KSU) - Art of Acting (KSU) - Intro to Shakespeare (KSU) - Beginning Acting - American Drama and Theatre - Intro to Technical Theatre - Acting Workshop I 5.

from the goals of realism. Naturalism is defined as “a style of art or literature that shows people and things as they actually are” (Naturalism). “The mid-nineteenth century witnessed the state of a new kind of awareness and self-reflection among theatre artists” (Schumacher 1). This awareness meant that putting on a play just to put on a play was no longer enough. “The creation of imaginary worlds had to be justified on ethical, sociological, political and aesthetic grounds” (Schumacher 1). This
he didn't write Frederick August Kittel, instead he wrote: August Wilson. This was in effect to discard his father's absent history and to adopt that of his nurturing mother. So, on April 1, 1965, August Wilson celebrated his birth as a poet.w Continuing his daily excursions to the library Wilson made a few friends and together they started "the Centre Avenue Poets Theatre Workshop, which sponsored readings and published small poetry magazines."6 Doing this he was encouraged to write poetry of
According to Aleida Assman, “While memory is indispensable, as a view from the inside, to evaluating the events of the past and to creating an ethical stance, history is needed, as a view from the outside, to scrutinize and verify the remembered events.” Assman presents memory and history as necessities. Moreover, she argues that memory and history act as checks on each other, maintaining a balanced perspective through their coexistence. Here, memory signifies something remembered from the past by an
of the major events leading up to the American Revolution. Summative Objective 2 for this instruction: Students will know the major events that led to the American Revolution.

The arts have been long-recognized as a vital component of the well-rounded student, but for the past several decades, the importance of arts programs in many U.S. schools has been steadily compromised (Rabkin & Redmond, 2006). Pressure to compete internationally has influenced educational institutions to believe that an almost exclusive focus on academic fundamentals is the sole way to raise standards and close the achievement gap (Sholl & Sweetland, 2016).

as I can remember, I always wanted to be a performer. During my freshman year of high school, I knew that I needed to major in music in college. At first I thought that I would major in vocal performance, then it changed to musical theatre. It stayed as musical theatre for a while, then I became a teacher’s aide for my old high school choir director. I was able to help out more with the Varsity Choir and the 8th grade choir as well. My choir director gave me the opportunity to work with a few of the
Once the Vitaphone staked its claim in the film industry the research and application of new sound equipment began to grow rapidly. First moving to even louder speakers for the audience to enjoy the music even more. Then moving to stereo speakers having different sounds coming from different speakers. Then moving to surround sound where the audience is engulfed in music and sound effects from all around them. Finally to our current technology of IMAX sound adding even more speakers and pushing sound
has consistently been an activity I have loved. Its ability to whisk me away from my world and into a new one enchanted me. Even as a child, I would hole up in my room, swallowed by thick bedding and surrounded by a pile of books. When directions or notes are right in front of me, I absorb information easier. One of my weaknesses is listening, making Friday Focus especially hard for me to sit through. Another one of my profound weaknesses is group work. Assignments with other people typically result
