As part of “Dance Houston 2013”, the “Ndani” was performed on April sixth of the year two thousands and thirteen at the Wortham center. The dance executed by a group of eight young dancers, among which Otis Berry, was choreographed by Shaté Edwards. Miss Edwards has an engaged, skillful, and powerful style. Her background includes jazz, tap, stepping, modern and more. She is a Houston, Texas native, who attended college in Atlanta, Georgia, and has performed a lot in the U.S and China and has participated in numerous productions. The “Ndani” is performed by a group of eight dancers composed of seven females and one male. The dancers are all wearing shirts with sleeves rolled up to the elbows and pants also with the bottom rolled up to about the middle of the tibia; females are wearing a tie while the male has a waistcoat on. The dance is executed without any soundtrack; the rhythm is given by the taps of the dancers on the floor of the stage and on their own body; some words are often sporadically pronounced with or without forming a complete sentence. The dance begins with a dark stage, and only the taps and claps of …show more content…
Some of the movements executed by the dancers are similar to those executed by dancers in a stepping performance and also in a tap dance presentation. This presentation falls into the group of the new trends of modern dance, in which the choreographer are taking more and more liberty with various dance combinations, and including strong messages in their work. I would definitely attend other dance performance, not only from this company, but also by other companies; and would also recommend this performance, especially to people going through a dark period in their life. This performance finished convincing me that dance is surely the most communicative of the art forms, and that a single presentation can convey more than one
For Lionel Naraidu, a retired NYPD police officer born to a poverty-stricken family, “being part of American society,” chartered the saga of his life. Naraidu, a Guyanese immigrant, who is the youngest of 15 children, was raised in blue-collar Queens Village, New York. Embracing, “the values many men and women lost their lives for, like having an education, a home, a decent job, and a good community,” ultimately nurtured his servanthood and patriotism.
Started out as a failing student with no burning desire to do any prodigious. Jasper, just like all the others, did not want to go through the trouble to lucubrate and improve himself. Until three years ago, in 2013 when he moved in with his uncle, Rick Lien, who was able to turn him from a scanty student to a straight A student over the course of two months changed his life forever. This alone was a huge improvement for Jasper, but that was not all. Rick taught Jasper about stocks and options to help him be more independent, although at first, Jasper showed no interest in the subject matter, but through personal experience after Jasper made his first successful trade, he
There is a risk of C. gattii in tropical areas and the Pacific Northwest. There are many factors that contribute to this risk. How it is transmitted, environmental causes, locations of infection, and prevention. It is important to understand the risk before traveling so you don’t become infected. To learn more about this risk we will look at areas in which the fungi exists, who’s susceptible, and how to keep from getting sick.
Civil and human rights leader, the late Minoru Yasui, is another person to receive the Presidency Medal of Freedom. Minoru went to law school and he graduated from the University of Oregon. A long part of his life was devoted to the military curfew implemented during World War II because Japanese Americans were under a curfew and were forced to live in concentration camps. Minoru deliberately went out after curfew and he was arrested. He took a stand against the curfew claiming it was racially unjust against Japanese Americans. However, that didn’t stop him from caused him to spend nine months in solitary confinement. He continued to fight for the injustice and died in 1987, unable to overturn the conviction.
The Nile River also benefitted Nubia because it provided rainfall in the hot, and dry weather. The Egyptian government adapted from the Nubian language and religion, which is one of the way Nubia had a great impact on Egypt. Meroë was a huge city that was famous for agriculture and trade. In their royal family, women, Nubian queens, had more than usual control of the kingdom than in other places.
In Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and Mythology by Edith Hamilton, there are many ways in which characters from both books are similar and different. One of the closest connections I saw was between Spider from Anansi Boys and Loki from Mythology. Loki and Spider were not gods, but they were sons of supernatural beings. Furthermore, wherever Spider and Loki went, trouble usually followed and they both paid for the trouble they caused through torture in two different ways. It seems that Neil Gaiman modeled Spider after Loki from Norse mythology because of all of their similarities.
For years, negativity and bullying plagued schools around the globe. Schools implemented many anti-bully precautions. However, Roni Nocon, a Mesa Verde Middle School counselor, reformed the traditional cruel and unusual punishment policy. She wanted a positive event rather than an overused anti-bullying campaign. Furthermore, she wanted to transform the school’s bland assemblies into fun and interactive ones. “[We] can create a safe environment for our school… by taking a proactive and entertaining approach to stop bullying,” Nocon said. Therefore, she; Monica Racicot, the Mesa Verde’s After School Education and Safety Program director; and Stephanie Smith, former counselor; founded Kind Crew, a club working to eradicate harassment, and revamped
Title of exhibition: “Circle of Dance,” Name of curator: Cécile R. Ganteaume; Artists/Exhibit Designers: Gerry Breen, Susan Stieff.
We went to see this last evening (opening night for this program) and were blown away. Never having seen anything on the program before, I didn't know what to expect, but each piece was magnificent. Stanton Welch's "Tu Tu" seems to me to be a kind of personal love song to ballet. The opening and overall structure reminded me of Ashton's "Sinfonietta" with a very energetic first movement followed by a stunningly beautiful slow movement and then a fast and again more lighthearted finale. It was the second movement that amazed me the most. A solo ballerina slowly emerges from darkness and seems to reflect on her career as a ballerina with tenderness and sadness. The mood of this piece was masterfully created. It was beautifully and

The choreographer created this piece in the vein of Dance Theater, with many similarities to other pieces of the time. The moves are straight out of ballet, although it is a bit unusual to see large male’s demi-pointe. I wonder if they practiced this stereotypically feminine move before this production? There also seems to be more freedom and disruption in this piece as opposed to a Royal Ballet. And yet, there is no overly styled moves set to a specific beat as in the Dido piece. From the video the emphasis is always on the movement of the conglomeration of dancers, as opposed to the facial ‘moves’.
There isn’t anything fancy about him, relatively speaking, everything about Yu Narukami points to him being a fairly generic character. He’s not a physical specimen, nor a speed demon, nor does he hold an unorthodox fighting style.

The evening we are arrived at Kii peninsula from Kyoto was cool and dim. After the first dinner we boarded a train and road along the coast near the shining beaches, leading to the city of Tanabe staring off out towards the sea as the sun set and the moon rose into the sky. Once we made it to Tanabe after the two hour trip it was straight onto the bus to make it to the beginning of our journey in Nakahechi. From Nakahechi we walked along the trail up through a steep incline, and beautiful autumn colored trees and foliage towards a small mountain top village named Takahara. After a short two hour hike we made it to our destination for the night, once we had all gotten accommodated we all took our own time in the natural hot springs in the village under the stars and the moon.
I must say that my hole spring quarter has been dedicated to deepening my overall understanding of West-African dance alone. In preparation this to study with the Urban Bush this summer I wanted to make sure that I was able to develop a stronger foundation in my West-African dance technique this quarter. My Mondays and Wednesday from 2:00-6:30 were dedicated to Professor Parker's ( Makeda- Kumasi) West-African dancing and drumming classes held at UCR. I also seeked outside the classroom to gain a community experience of this dance genre so that I could compare and contrast the similarities and differences I found. My goals were to truly embody the many elements that are associated in this dance genre. In my discoveries I was able to
