• Can you identify “backstage” and “Frontstage” regions for each situation? Which of your activities are preparation and which are performance? In the group meetings my car was my “backstage” and my “frontstage” was the garage where the meeting was. On Saturday at my friend’s brothers house the restroom was my “backstage”, and the backyard at the table was my “frontstage” Some preparation activities where, breath deep and read notes before I had to talk in front of everybody, and try to over come my fear to be social. Performance was to help the leader to talk and planned next meeting, and being friendly and respectful to other people that do not shared the same values with me.
Performances planning is very important in the realm of being a great leader. This is where a leader’s values, qualities, and persistence comes to the forefront to make everyone within the mission/business successful. A leader needs to be able to implement all of these characteristics, as well as effectively communicate with others, set goals as individuals and as a team, and intervene when they recognize poor performance among employees. I can understand
Mirrors in the restroom serves as a tool that help people to adjust their clothes and putting make-ups to prepare for their appearance to others (prepare for the frontstage). The drumaturgical concept applies often to my everyday life. Backstage performance is when I prepare for my presentation about my research topic. I have to summarize the key findings, put into a poster, and print it out. The next step is to rehearse for the presentation and make sure that I can clearly explain to the audiences in a 15 minutes talk. At first, I just read the contents directly from my notes and relax to feel the sense of it. Later, as the materials are well arranged in my head, the next step is to prepare for the gesture and speech. Then, I do the presentation in front of my best friends and seek for their advice. I try to avoid putting hands in the pocket and use formal languages. Finally, I go to the laundry to wash and iron my business casual. Front stage occurs when I present my research confidently and can explain the key findings and significance of my research to the
Stage Crew “Of course they are, they are annoying, yelling new yorkers who are filled with nothing but critique and pizza.”
Lastly, leading to accomplish goals is something everyone strives for. Leading by example is also important, I felt like if I did not work alongside my people, I could not expect them to work. Showing my associates how to work together and address any issues immediately is important to leading my team and accomplish the ultimate goal.
Goffman stated that there are three regions in which we perform in. The front stage is the region where an actor’s performance is given and visible to other actors and the audience. For example, if one is taking on the role of a waitress they are to perform as if they would do anything to satisfy a guest, and when they are out in their sections and serving their guests they are in the front stage of the performance. This is very similar to my previous job as a server, when I was interacting with and serving my
The band was in Disney World, in Hollywood Studios, in an arena filled to the brim with high school musicians awaiting their fate. We were all pretending that we weren’t scared out of our shorts to hear the ratings, although we could all feel the tension in the air. Yes,
From time to time I listen to Disney Soundtracks. I would not say I listen to them often / all the time, but there are times when I can break out In Summer and start singing it like it's my birthday.
Sperry (2002) defines an effective leader as one who operates on two tracks: the performance track and the people track. According to Sperry (2002), performance refers to both process (how things are done and how long it takes to get things done) and outcome (productivity and quality). The people track, on the other hand, refers to the “skills, talents, competencies, and needs” of “employees, leaders, and other stakeholders involved with a given corporation or organization” (Sperry 2002).
At a period of time in the United States when the Vietnam War was rapidly escalating and gaining opposition among the younger generation, the film The Sound of Music was released. Directed by Robert Wise and released in 1965, The Sound of Music features musical numbers accompanied by the movement and dancing of the von Trapp family. The setting of the film is Salzburg, Austria in 1938 immediately following the start of German occupation due to the Anschluss. Ultimately, the reprise of “So Long, Farewell” in The Sound of Music subverts governmental authority over war by portraying a movement shift from being restricted and uniform to running away with hope of freedom.
When I was finish I was learned that I wasn’t embarrassed to talk to people that I didn’t know. Going into this assignment I thought I would have anxiety because I
Much of our modern terminology, we get from Greek theatres. In ancient Greece the orchestra was a large round area in front of the stage for the chorus to perform in. The proskenion (from which we get proscenium) was a long shallow area that we would recognise as a stage. The skene was a walled area with 3 doors at the back of the proskenion, on which scenery could be painted and actors could hide behind. Ancient
The front stage is part of the individual’s performance to act in a situation for observers or audience to view. These performances provide impressions for the audience and observers to analyze and confirm identities. Fronts are usually pre-established and stereotyped of how performers should act, behave, and interact in a situation. Erving Goffman divides the front stage into two parts: setting and the personal front. The setting is composed of sceneries, props, and location. If you are an office worker or a manager, it is more credible to convince the audience if you have a cubicle or an office. Moreover, settings do alter how the actor performs for different audiences. The personal front is how the audience identifies the actor—racial characteristics,

The items I can personally improve upon to be a polished leader include making clear nonverbal gestures and clear comments so there are no misinterpretations. Often, I say something without giving complete details and then have to clarify it later. I need to always make face to face contacts to eliminate misunderstandings and take the time to thoroughly explain what I am asking someone to do. I can dictate what I want a lot easier than actually thinking and writing it down at the same time. Spelling is very difficult so I always use spell check. I often have someone proof read for me and I use a program to find grammar mistakes before I send anything written out.
In my organization, I am a supervisor over the accounting department, therefore I am in a leadership position so I went ahead and took the report card based upon my own reflection. On the report card, I scored an 87 as a my competence as a leader. The evaluation stated that I had solid footing and that I understand the basic principles of an effective leader (Manning & Curtis, 2008). In the evaluation it stated that as a leader that under my directions the staff’s work can be expected to be high. Two things I take pride it is my work and my word. While I am at work I strive to set an example by being there usually the first one at work and the last one to leave, and in between work as hard as I can. I think what pushes me for this dedication is how I was raised, but also the understanding that being a state organization it is the citizens of the community 's tax dollars that is the main reason we have a job, so we owe it to them not to make a waste of their hard earn money.
