Allowing Time to Work
We are understanding and recognize working time in many areas of our life. Early this season we applied weed treatment and fertilizer on our yard. When you have a slow-moving drain, you pour in drain cleaner. Dinner requires us to prepare the dish and then use the oven or microwave to cook it. In many daily situations, we do not take the action and expect immediate results. We allow time for the results to take place.
Performing on stage requires us to allow time as well. The hard part is that there is no timer, or directions (wait 24 hours before watering) to follow. Timing with performance is something we must teach ourselves. It develops through a series of trial and error. We learn from

Then you can announce to them “let me show the people over on the other side” as you do. This simple but logical action allows time in the routine.
As you suspect we all allow time for applause at the end of a trick. There are also times you can allow for time with nothing more than facial expressions or other movement. I perform a trick where an egg vanishes on one side of the stage and is supposed to appear within an egg cup that is covered by a cylinder on the other side. I vanish the egg and walk over to uncover the egg cup only to show it is empty.
The trick failed and I allow time as I first look confused. Then I allow more time, and emphasize it failed, by searching for the egg. I look under the tray, on the floor under the table, etc. These combined actions help the audience understand the egg did not reappear, that the trick failed and that the egg cannot be found.
You can also allow time with storyline. Many times, you can pause allowing the audience to absorb what you just said. Adding some facial expression often helps. Your assistant can also add by making comments the audience might. As an example, the assistant may mention: “you really should open your other hand”. Or announce that the sponge is probably under the cup on the table. But when you show it is isn’t.
There will be times where you just have to stop and wait for the audience to catch up. They may be
conjure up emotion from his audience. “ I guess it’s easy… we find it difficult to wait.”
Each their move will fascinate you from the very first second, each their appearance on stage is not a mere dance – it’s an entire lifetime replete with intrigue, passion, drama, freestyle, love and beauty.
In life, there are undoubtedly going to be a handful major events that may affect you in a really major way and change who you are as a person. But that’s it, there really is only a handful. The rest of the pleasure and enjoyment in life comes from the small moments. These moments aren’t necessarily awe-inspiring or mind-boggingly complex, but they put a little pep in your step or may cause you to think about something in a slightly different way. I think that’s what you have to focus on when you are performing for an audience. You need to create those moments for them, like ChiPs did for me, where I am still quoting a line from the show a week later to one of my good friends that I went with. The little moments are what matter; the little moments are what you remember. The little moments just may be a big deal after
I must have a visible and audible presence during my presentation for at least 2 minutes
My project " Lunge for the Sponge" went pretty well with research and experimentation but there were a few problems and things I would like to point out . If you are going to do this again make sure to use the same measurement as I did because you are most likely to get a different number in for example liters than milliliters. Also make sure you say the amount that's left in the bowl not the amount that the sponge soaked up or you will get very different results.If you are going to use a different brand of sponges or just one the answer of the sponge might be different since I only tried out four sponges not every brand of sponges.Most importantly for best results of coping this experiment do exactly as what the procedure says, or this will defiantly lead to different results.One last thing about my experiment is make sure that you follow my procedure exactly.
If you were a fan of DC Nation, you'd be forgiven for still being a little mad about how that whole mess ended up. From putting Green Lantern and Young Justice on an unexpected hiatus to eventually cancelling the entire lineup altogether, Cartoon Network could have hardly handled these shows any worse. To make matters worse, no official reasons for cancellation were ever given.
The doors did not open until 2:30pm, so I some time to myself. During this time I sat in the balcony and looked out to the stage. The performers were finishing taking pictures and said prayer, and cleared the stage. The tech crew started checking lights and sound while the dancers ran their numbers. I got distracted by them and time flew by. I checked my phone and it was 2:30pm, so I went back to the doors and waited for the audience to arrive. There was now a man playing Christmas songs on the piano. People are now being to slowly file in. I started scanning tickets, and only scanned about 25 tickets. It is now 3 o’clock and the audience is in their seats and the show has started. I was lucky and got to stand on the inside of the house to open the door for people as needed. I watched first act and opened the door about three times. It is now intermission and my time is over, so i got to
We have something similar to this in gymnastics. We do and exhibition where everything need to be perfectly times and everyone’s movements in their tumbling needs to be the exact same. We break down the movements of the back handsprings and backs flips and learn how to do the special movements exactly the same as everyone else, so we look together. To be able to have our exhibitions be successful we need constant monitoring to see if we are with the music and with each other.
just mumble, you are not only wasting your own time but your audiences’ as well.
I believe to understand performance you must first understand what it’s about and its history. One of the biggest ideas in performance art is breaking the rule. Theatre was first discovered by ancient Greece. The people of Greece first started doing performances to please the gods and to celebrate them. They started with just a chorus, but over time people started adding more and more people on stage. The first rule that came up from this is no more than three people on stage. The second was to change characters you either went off stage or by the chorus and changed your mask. The third and final rule was death accouris off stage, never on. As time went on more rules were slowly being added and each artist, director, performer and playwriter would think of ways they could break or bend the rule to make the performance more interesting to the public eye.
When it comes to a live theatre event, there are many aspects of the experience that I find enjoyable as an audience member. To begin, most professional theatres are richly decorated venues that create a high class and refined aura, which makes us audience members feel welcome and respected. Following this into the performance, it is very exciting to be able to view the spectacle of a live performance with all of its light, music, and dancing, such as when I went to see Wicked in New York City. While many movies are full of special effects nowadays, nothing compares to being able to physically witness magical moments such as the Wicked Witch flying above the audience at the closing of the first act. Spectacle aside however,
Two important elements in understanding your audience is understanding who you’re speaking too and everyday struggles. Know your audience what are their ages, male, female status, education level, religion, language and culture? These factors will be the most important part of your speech. Knowing who your audience is will help you learn information that can help you to build a common understanding between you and the audience. An important key in public speaking situations is the imbalanced sharing of speaking time between the speaker and audience. The speaker talks more and the audience listens repeatedly without asking questions or responding with any reactions or responses to something.
I could tell that my audience was getting bored, I think Hannah even fell asleep. I tried to get the audience’s attention by tell a joke, about how my hair was tangled up in the duct tape. Most people chuckled, and I moved on with my next point. I remembered the reading from the book about how to analyzing your audience and then adjust to the audience's non-verbal cues during the speech (Beebe, 122). I should have also told a story about what my nieces and nephews do with duct tape.
While in the front stage the performer is aware that they are acting in front of people and acts appropriately to the given situation. But
For my observations, I will be placed behind the band on the stage of the Moore auditorium. The back is a great way to get a literal “behind-the-scenes” exclusive. I sat on the stage roughly 20 minutes prior to rehearsal time, at 4:30 p.m. each time I observed. The qualifiers for my experiment are as followed: In order for a student to qualify as practicing before rehearsal, they had to be practicing for over a minute. I recorded side-conversation only if it was more than two interactions. For example, someone can say something and
