Secret Shopper : Getter At The Royal Oak Music Theatre Essay

On Friday, October 28, 2016, a co-worker and I attended Etiwanda Roadhouse located at 12583 Highland Ave, Rancho Cucamonga Ca. On this night, the band “Backstreet” was performing. This was my first time attending Etiwanda Roadhouse. They feature live music from different bands three time a week (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday) there’s no cover charge to attend. It’s a quaint place right off Highland Ave tucked right in the middle of a sub-division of single family homes. The scenery was dark; as we enter a narrow hallway of the structure, to the left there’s an area with pool tables and a L-shape bar that wrapped around the room. On the right side was the stage and a dance floor with some tables and booths for dinning. The band was schedule to play from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM. The members of the “Backstreet” band consisted of, Michael O’Conner on piano, Debra Eazell Diurba vocalists,

Ryland was the DJ, I was shocked at his talent, it wasn't as easy as it appeared to be, but it looked like a lot of fun. Although I shouldn't have been surprised, his whole family sweated talent. He had invited about 20 people, strangers to be, and maybe even to them.

doesn’t fit your typical stereotype. Every event is specifically tailored to make every night unique .He loves to perform various genres from electro to hip hop mashups to 80’s & 90’s throwbacks that will have you singing along to mainstream pop music and everything else in

On November 10th from 12:30 to 1:30, Taxi Chain performed a free concert in The Family Martin at York University. Grier Coppins founded Taxi Chain in 1993. They offer bluesy jigs and strong overtones of old school funk, R&B, rock n roll, country, folk and world music. This vast amount of styles allowed for their performance to be very intriguing. The styles are versatile, daring and fun (York university website). The setting of the performance was at The Family Martin Lounge, so the environment was relaxed. Everyone was doing their own thing in addition to listening. The atmosphere of the space was relaxed and most people were just doing their own thing while getting to enjoy the fantastic music that was being played. Truthfully, I choose this

When I first walked into the Granada Theatre I was amazed by the intricate detail put into the design of the venue. At first glance, it seemed to be an extremely high class venue, and it made sense why Professor Roy asked us to dress nicely. In all honesty I felt totally out of my element. I showed up a couple minutes late so they had me stand until the first piece was over to take my seat. The seriousness added to the layer of prestige that I had begun to attribute to the event. When I finally took my seat, I was astounded by the setup too. The piano was center stage. I was expecting an orchestra before I had arrived, but was not too disappointed to see just Yuja Wang. I could see her, but I could also see people sitting in the balcony. The

Though theatre has been performed on UA’s campus in various forms, by various students and at various times for the past 125 years, theatre and dance became an academic entity only in the late 1930s.

On Saturday May 17th The Vault at Vinyl Revival hosted a night of Neo-psychedelia and Paisley Underground mixed with a little Dream Magic Psych. Additionally we had two guest D J’s , Eric Slick from Dr. Dog and Dominic Angelella form DRGN KING. They played songs LP's and 45's in between sets and I had the opportunity to speak with Eric about Dr. Dog and the music business. He is the drummer and arranged the horns on the new album, B-Room. The album is a group project and is the driving force in the wide range of musical styles on this fine album. It is disappointing to hear that sales are light, even though, by many standards it is a very good effort. “Folks take our music” we make our living touring. Intellectually, I know this, but folks would not steal tips, a painting, or money, yet feel comfortable taking an artist's work. Thanks for coming and adding a little more color to a very musically colorful night.

Martin Garrix is a very inspirational, hardworking, and influential person in the music industry. Most importantly he has a very outgoing, and down to earth personality which is what makes him stands out among other. Back in Spring of 2016, Martin Garrix partnered up with 7 Up to create a special once-in-a-lifetime concert for the Deaf. He described as an amazing, and very emotional to see they were able to hear and enjoy his music, and seeing smiles painted on their faces. Later in 2016, Martin helped one of his fans flew to Amsterdam to see his live performance. A fan named Chris McPhadden had purchased a ticket to see Garrix perform during the Amsterdam Dance Event, only to later realized he didn't have enough funds to purchased air ticket

Going to the Abbey Theatre was a magical experience. As someone who has worked for a social justice theatre company the past two summers, theatre companies created with a purpose for political and social change are fascinating. Art is supposed to make people uncomfortable, it is supposed to make people think in some type of way. W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, two of the main founders of the theatre—did just this. They opened the theater with some of their most famous political shows despite their efforts and talk of attempting to keep the theater non-political. One modern element that is present for the Abbey Theatre and not in America is the governmental funding of theaters and the arts.

First on the bill was Saint Motel (★★★★☆). While I knew a few of their songs, the others that I didn’t were still exciting to listen to. The crowd was engaged and able to dance and sing along to their popular tracks like “Move” and “My Type”, and their utilization of entertaining production and graphics made their performance noteworthy and a memorable start to the evening.

On November 16th, I attended a Porter Robinson and Madeon concert at Echostage in Washington D.C. Porter Robinson and Madeon are both electro house, dubstep, synthpop, and EDM (Electronic Dance Music) music DJ’s, who have decided to collaborate and tour together. Doors opened for the concert at 9 PM, with DJ’s Robotaki (Ro-bo-ta-key) and Danger opening for them. Robotaki focused more on house music, while Danger was more heavy drum and bass electronic music. Although, the opening DJ’s varied in their style of music, they helped to set the mood and prepare the crowd for the main event.

Finding this event was the easy part, but getting to it was the more challenging task. Searching through a list of world music concerts, the Rockin’ Road to Dublin stood out to

For many years, the principle ideas for acting were established by Konstantin Stanislavski, who was a Russian actor and director. Stanislavski’s practical ideas and theories which were called his “system”, were eventually altered by those who succeeded him. When Stanislavski’s former students brought Stanislavski’s system to America, it still hadn’t been fully completed, thus it it suffered alterations in Russia. The alterations made to Stanislavski’s system were contorted by Lee Strasburg into what came to be known as “ the Method”. This altered version of Stanislavski’s system became the standard for acting around the world. Stanislavski’s methods concluded that emotion couldn’t be the foundation of a performance, but rather it was to be the outcome. “The actor must understand

Ed’s concert got the crowd more involved. He got the crowd into the songs by having part of us clap and the other part sing background vocals. While setting up for the next song, he used a looper pedal to have the correct sounds in the
