Last week I was asked to be part of 12 acts performance to express myself on the theme of treasure. I was not sure what to talk about since I am not a creative person and I am a financial analyst. However my desire is to be a creative women, so I said "Yes".Over the weekend I was visiting my girlfriend in Brooklyn and I picked up from the sidewalk box two free treasures. One book was "Happiness Project" and the other was Belize tourist guide. Later in the evening I started to read "Happiness Project". I went on line to read a blog created by Gretchen Rubin. I could not stop reading it. She inspired me to create my 12 commencements to live my life by. After creating my 12 commencements I knew that I want this to be my Treasure performance. My 12 personal commandments Being Agnieszka. This means that I accept and approve my weaknesses and my strengths. English is my second language, is means that I had to learn to speak and write here, hence I am not a perfect writer. Every time I will make a mistake or my boss will say that I should work on my business writing skills it will hurt my ego. Accepting that weakness and acknowledging that I am doing the best I can allows me to say to myself when I catch myself at biting myself " You are so adorable you did it again". Then I can feel in my body compassion and love for the work I am doing and not bit myself up, as I did before. Be in my body fully present. First I had to learn how to speak in English and next commencement
I remember the moment when I executed what I love to do. Until then, I had always been the late bloomer, the searcher. When I come to think of it, one of my passions had always been right in front of my eyes, just waiting to be grasped. Yet, I never believed that what I already knew about myself was enough to find my future. I was in dogged pursuit of an elusive goal, on the lookout for anything relating to my passion, hunting, scratching the dirt off all things that could be potential futures for my passion of presenting to an audience. But nothing came of it until I stopped looking. The second year of high school when I was chosen as the lead representative for the Non-Profit Management program, the first of its education offered to high

The third I would like to have experience about eating healthy. All these things I wish to know to have a successful life.
After read the Part II of Collaboration in Theatre about working together to create musical theatre, I felt that I was overwhelmed by the charm of collaboration. To me, I considered that it was such a significant process not only to musical theatre creation but also to other disciplines and industries, including Supply Chain Management (SCM) – the specialty that I am majoring in.

Theatre invites conversations, builds portals between cultures, and reveals the ordinarily unexplored, which is why I cherish every tickling second emerged in the theatre-making process. During my time at NYU, my theatre training points to a direction where I am way too familiar to be a stranger in. Growing up in China, where beauty remains hidden, pain untangled and emotion unspoken of, my physicality had remained a perfect mystery to me. At times of questioning my feelings during my acting training, I began to nurture a curiosity towards my own identity and the different cultures that I bore through over the short twenty years of my life. I continued to find myself mesmerized by this shared passion living among different cultures, that making theatre becomes more than just being the character but also being myself.
The company name which our group chose was Vivid Theatre. I chose this because it reflects how we were a professional theatre company, and I wanted our performance to be vivid, and engaging. This is why our group chose this name for our company.

One of the wonderful aspects of live theatre is that no two productions will be alike. Even productions of the same play will vary, sometimes to a great extent. The choices that the different actors and directors make changes how the audience interprets and understands the play. Costumes are one of the elements of a production that vary, and costume choices and design can vary greatly, but can give the audience an abundance of details about a character. Secondly, the way an actor delivers his or her lines vary, and can change the meaning of the line depending on how it was said. Lastly, the most noticeable element of a production that varies is the set, and this too can provide a wealth of information about the characters. These elements may
There are many different job positions in a theater production aside from the actors. Theater is one big team effort to create something magical. Some of these positions are directors, producers, assistant directors, stage managers and assistant stage managers. Many of these titles can either be combined into one person or multiple people. For example, there are set designers, costumes designers, lighting designers, sound designers, and props and furnishing designers. Some theater productions contain all of these jobs with separate and multiple people to one job. Other theater productions may only use a couple of people to do multiple job titles. On the other hand, if a theater production feels like it is necessary, they may let the technical

I am a storyteller. I present therapeutic comedy and mind-numbing exploration of the truth. I change minds, introduce new ideas, and make people think.

I inspire people to dream big and to stop accepting defeat before they have even begun. I am a musical theatre performer, aspiring to acquire a B.F.A. Musical Theatre from an accredited university, and it is my mission to truly impact people through my art.
The harsh words never stop, they keep coming and coming, and the laughs of people who I thought of as friends ring painfully in my ears; is this my punishment, my torment for staying true to myself? In the book, “Twelfth Night”, alternatively called “What you Will”, by William Shakespeare, the headmistress, Maria, Sir Toby, and Sir Andrew relentlessly bully the steward, Malvolio. Maria, Toby, and Andrew bully Malvolio for many reasons, in many ways, and cause many ill effects on Malvolio’s life. Maria, Toby, and Andrew dislike Malvolio because his large arrogance shows in his everyday life, he dislikes Toby and Andrew, and he always gets those two in trouble; they believe that he needs to be taken down a peg,
Imagine you’re at a play, watching from somewhere in the middle row with a loved one. The actors are all wearing costumes that look like they came straight from the 1800s, and the set looks just as beautiful. As the blonde actress says her lines you feel attached to every world, and watch her every movement. You don’t think you could look away even if you tried. At the end of the show you are standing and applauding with the rest of the audience. The actors take their bows with huge smiles on their faces, because this is what they live for. The people backstage are reacting the same way with a sigh of relief and overwhelming happiness. For the last few months this group of people have been working as hard as they can to bring this play to life.
Who is Viola? Who REALLY is Viola? Viola is a very cunning, smart, and interesting character. This is shown in Shakespeare’s The Twelfth Night, this book is about three different lovers. The Duke loves Olivia, Olivia loves Cesario/Viola, and Cesario/Viola loves the Duke. Viola is trying to set up a new life after surviving a shipwreck in which her brother “died.” Viola is a cunning lady with lots of attitude. Viola influences almost every other character as well. She unintentionally tricks both the Duke and Olivia, she confuses Antonia, who believes she is Sebastian (her brother), and she confuses her brother, Sebastian, who believed that she was dead. Viola is someone we can all learn from.
A few months ago my grandfather encouraged me to learn the words of God. He told me to open my mind and learn from the book of the Lord, the Holy Bible. On the first day, he explained to me that the Holy Bible is a volume of sixty-six books and forty authors. Although I may not understand the readings to the fullest, it’s still an interesting and encouraging learning process. The Holy Bible itself teaches believers God’s plan, which he explains to us in John 16:13 by revealing, “...he will guide you into all truth...”. It is stated in scripture that it is surely not made up by the writers themselves. Each event throughout the Old and New Testament is proof of God’s word because, “...he will tell you what is yet to come”(Holy Bible, New International Version 1678). So, indeed God’s plan is disclosed within the scripture. With the Lord’s plan in place, he presented us with strict guidelines between the 16th and 13th centuries BC (Whiston 64). If any rule is disobeyed it is described as a sin. Those rules, which were written in stone, are known as the Ten Commandments.
