Performance Art Performance

During a musical performance many elements to be looked are not easily recognized by the average critic. A musical performance has multiple interactions taking place between the music, text, performers, audience, and space that all can contribute to a great performance. Overwhelming majority of the audience does not realize so much can be looked at during a single performance. At a performance by the University of Maryland Marching Band I was able to analyze the Musical Sound, Contexts of the Performance, and Interpretation of the Performance.

Transferring to California State University, Sacramento was the most optimal decision that I have made recently this year and so far, it has been an enjoyable yet compelling one because of the helpful environment around me. Compared to the other two colleges I attended in the past in Stockton, California, I believe Sacramento State University has better resources and opportunities to grow as a student. Some of the resources I have utilized here are the Writing Center and PARC, but I plan to branch out and explore many others I have heard about. Although my major is Mechanical Engineering, I still have other classes that I am required to take in order graduate in Spring of 2020, such as English 109W for my undergraduate GWAR. Before entering English 109W, my mind was set on just completing the course and getting a good enough grade to move on to my Writing Intensive course, the last English class I would take in college. I thought that my writing skills were above

Coming to Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in social work has been one of the best things I have done in the year of 2016. I can remember awaiting my acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University and instantly choosing to attend. For the remainder of my senior year of high school, I couldn’t wait to pack up and leave for VCU. Before I knew it, it was August 20, 2016, move-in day. Aside from leaving my parents and hometown, I was a bit upset about having to quit my job, the anxiety of being a broke college student hit me before I even stepped on campus. On move in day I was a bit anxious and a little nervous to leave my parents but at the same time I was ready to leave and explore something new on my own.

Since I started community college I’ve heard several dozen cases of people changing their major, changing their transfer college, or just changing their mind. I’m not likely to do any of that, I choose to use my time in high school deciding what I wanted to do and so far I am sticking to it without a doubt in my mind. I chose to go to community college, earn my Associate's in Business Administration, and transfer to James Madison University in the fall of 2018, graduate in 2020 with my Bachelor’s. I intend to get my Master’s either right after my Bachelor’s or within a few years of my career. I hope to have a job leaving JMU, my first accounting job of my career. I decided to major in accounting for a plethora of reasons, but not what most people expect.

During my career at SUNY Orange, I have grown by leaps and bounds. I have mastered my short comings, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the Dean’s list three semesters and running, earned the Peter Albergani Inspirational Scholarship, and I was selected to attend the Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College. SUNY Orange has opened many doors for me, doors I did not even know existed. I was not sure that I wanted to attempt to get my Bachelor’s degree, seeing as just getting my Associates degree was more than I ever imagined I would accomplish. That all changed when I was given the opportunity to experience what it would be like to attempt learning at a four year institution.

Although, Susan changed her major several times she never finished college. Susan chose different majors to try and find what fit best for her. With all of the majors, she tried she couldn’t find one that she enjoyed long enough to complete the program. Susan went to community college for three years. During the three years she was enrolled she majored in nursing, business administration, education, and sociology. Susan admits that she has never been really good at school, and she only chose two of the majors because her friends chose them.

San Jose State University is a very large urban campus that has a total enrollment of more than 30,000 students. It is easy to get lost in such huge crowds of students, and even more difficult for shy students, such as myself. I am proud to be a first generation college student attending San Jose State University. Despite its large size and increasing impaction rates, I admire the diversity and resources that the college provides for its students. I applied to SJSU in the fall of 2015 with various goals in mind. However, with a university this large I knew that I would need extra guidance in order to succeed and accomplish my goals.

When I started my collegiate journey, I felt lost. I fell in love with a wonderful school, but after my first quarter, taking Earth Science courses, I felt like I had made a massive mistake in the original major I had chosen. At Cal Poly, it was necessary that all students declare a major before being accepted and as a high school senior, I had no idea what I wanted to become. I felt like I never had the opportunity to explore my options before making this large decision. Therefore, I ended up at a school that I loved, but in a major I was not enthusiastic about.

After struggling with learning the college environment and a relatively large student loan, I decided to leave the school after one year. I soon found my way back home and into San Joaquin Delta College, where I spent the next three years struggling to prepare myself for my career goals in the medical field and even earning an Associate's Degree. After failing to achieve the grade I wanted for Biology alone, I decided to try a new field of study. After my third year at Delta College, I shifted towards a new goal in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Once I finished the necessary classes for this field, I was finally able to transfer to a university again and found my way to Sacramento State. After struggling with a long commute and classes, I learned that these fields I was pursuing were not what I wanted to do with my life. Not to mention, I learned that I really do not like Science and Mathematics. Now I finally come to the part where I found my way into Humphrey's College. My mother has graduated from Humphrey's College and told me about the Legal Studies program. After reviewing my transcript from Delta College and a lot of thought thereafter, I learned a few thing about myself. I always had a love for the

The performing arts are vital and necessary part of our culture and it exist in formal and informal settings, it can be either planned activity or spontaneous activity (Arthur, Beecher, Death, Docket, & Farmer, 2012). The National Declaration on the Educational Goals for Young Australians has a big emphasis on developing knowledge in the discipline of arts in the curriculum to open up new ways of thinking (Music Council of Australia, 2011). However, performing arts brought complex experiences in which students are immersed in multiple ways of learning and knowing (Gardner as cited in Fogarty & Stoehr, 2008). According to Gardner that every brain has multiple intelligence – verbal, music, logical, spatial, bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal

Duties and responsibilities are a good thing to know so you don't go to work not knowing what to do. If you're a makeup artist then some duties and responsibility you have to do are confer with stage and motion picture officials and performers to determine desired effects. Duplicate work precisely to replicate characters’ appearances on a daily basis. Establish budgets, and and work within budgetary limits. Apply makeup to performers to replicate period, setting, and situation of their role.

For my capstone project I decided to create something that I have never done before. Fiona, Nadia, and myself had an idea to write a funny play script. A few weeks ago, the three of us sit together and had a conversation which lead us to such an idea. We were talking and sharing some of our experiences which related to creativity and art that we had before. Theatrical show or drama was not something new for both Nadia and Fiona, but it was completely new for me. However, with almost no experience in this field of art. I felt like this could be the challenge that I need to do for my capstone project; I have to step out of my comfort zone and expand my creativity as I challenge myself with this task.

We have discovered in recent years how people will say what they really think if they can be anonymous. In this performance, we saw the similarities and differences we have with one another. The performers and I met to set up the equipment and platforms before the performance. I then had them begin to approach people to write notecards which by recorded students' thoughts, confessions, and ideas on note cards that performers recite. If they were not one of the two performing, they are still collecting note cards. Two students would perform at a time for around fifteen minutes, or until they ran out of a stack of notecards. After the performance, we stayed to clean up and return the equipment and

As we move into the future, many students are tending to shy away from the performing arts either because they are scared to present themselves to their peers, or they believe that they are not good enough to perform. But all throughout my life, I have been active in many different programs that help to showcase my talents to the greater community which have helped me be more confident as I enter into adulthood. For example, I have been a part of the band program at my high school my entire high school career as well as being a member of various extracurricular orchestras over the past years. So as the millennial generation begins to attend college, a performing art class should be a part of every college curriculum.

The innovations and contributions of theatre and television over the centuries have changed the world of performing arts forever. These revolutionary changes and gifts to the performing arts occurred in the United States. Contributions of theatre guild, the Shubert brothers, and Native Americans shaped theatre. Philo Taylor Farnsworth, public broadcasting, and MTV are part of the contributions and innovations of television. All of these events are a few out of many key elements that have molded the performing arts.
