I was able to attend an event with Christina Faith present. It was in an auditorium where the event took place. The music that was playing was calm and soothing. For the first couple of minutes there didn’t see to be much people in the audience. In fact including myself, the people you can count can be done by your hand. Not only that, the majority of the audience was primarily female. The immediate thought that came to my mind was “Am I in the wrong place?” Reason being, due to the description of the event which was “African American college students from various backgrounds fumble their way through the challenges of establishing and maintaining romantic relationships and dealing with real life issues” Once again, I felt a little out of …show more content…
were welcomed unto the stage, they each took their respective seat as we entered the Q & A portion of the presentation. Before anything else however, Christina did share with us the difference between the first and second season of “Love and Anxious”. An important thing to realize with the series in fact was that it was a “web series with no budget”. With this in mind they had to work hard on acting and character development. Christinia even elaborated on this when it came to filming certain scenes. “The middle of the room has a set.We can’t get certain angles.” This was later In addition, according to Christina, she learned as a writer, and producer that there are going to be some boundaries. To explain, “Learning when to say no in terms of production.” For the other cast member, named Brandon who played the character “Tee” in the show, as in actor “being honest and emotional is important as an actor. How far you can go and tell a story that people can relate to.” For this presentation, the content was solid. It was nice to know that this cast is trying something different with the audience that they are trying to reach. Urban millennials being that demographic since you “don’t see much of them.” On top of that the series was filled in Philadelphia. I also liked the remark Christina shared in relation to how she came up with the name “ Single &
I liked how they took a hot boring day, and turned it into a fun celebration with happiness and music. It shows that anything is possible when you put your heart to it. My favorite song is “96,000.” I was surprised that Abuela had the winning ticket and everyone’s hype over the money made me excited as well. I also liked the attribute to Abuela when she passed away. It moved me to be emotional and felt as if I lost Abuela too. The memories shared about her showed the impact she made in everyone’s life. It made me feel like I knew her as much as the character’s did. The dark scene and the candles were perfect for this
The speaker’s delivery was good, they were so nice and socialized. They were all standing and walking around the class room when they were giving the speech, they were asking audience questions, discussions and everybody contributed in the class room, they speakers were not loud, their voice was good for audiences, they were speaking slowly so that everybody can understand, they used their hands to explain things and also read PowerPoint to audience, Yes speakers were natural, at ease, direct and communicative which make the speech interesting and understandable to audience. Speakers were organized and they were not using terms that audience may not understand and they were not just repeating one thing. Speech was really going smoothly. Yes there was introduction, which is how everybody generally has their own primary love languages for receiving love and giving love, Body was to known the love languages such as words of Affirmation, Quality time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of service and Physical touch and conclusion was knowing the love languages is powerful, but knowing how they work in your relationships that is the game changer.
For an observation of an AA meeting my classmate and I made arrangements to go to an open meeting at Our Lady Star Of The Sea Church, which was held in a basement during a Tuesday afternoon session at 4:00 p.m. I first looked up the sessions online on a website where it held all the meetings on Staten Island and this one fit my schedule well. Its not unusual for me to be attending or visiting churches but for this assignment it did feel a little out of my comfort zone, because I didn’t know what to expect or what others would think of me. I chose a seat in the back corner that wouldn’t be too obvious yet it seemed like a typical seat for a newbie to sit at. The room was fairly large and I was surprised at how big the crowd got at least 30 plus people attended.
Overall, the show was every entertaining and I did enjoy watching these two commending bring something different to the table as far as their style. Both comedians talked about touchy topics such as race and sex. First up was Arnez. Arnez is a professional comedian and is a respectable one. He talked about who he is as a person and his background as. He has a comedy show that he makes fun of racism. Also, he leads into talking about peronal thing such as his brother Rodny because he is handycap. He tells to stories of what has happenend to him and his family. Arnez presents himslef as a no offencsive comedian that makes you want to go see him again. The adience can tell that he really puts in alot of effored into his work. However, Aries
As the commentaries have said what improvements of the seminar, I think they missed a few points that I would like to add first would be multiple people started talking along with their academic transitions and were more comfortable along the way better giving their points on the topics. Also the fact that they brought hand gestures and better eye contact really help comply what they were trying to say.Surprisingly I never really saw or heard any lacking conversations between the discussants. As a coach during the seminar I would say everyone went above and beyond and everyone did a fruitful
Public Speaking was a good class. It adequately presented the necessary information and allowed us an opportunity to practice in class. Detective Shirley and Office Yates did a good team job in the presentation.
It started off with two saxophones, who I thought played beautiful together. They started off at the exact same time, which I thought was very impressive and was in unison their whole performance. I also enjoyed the sopranos that sang. They both had beautiful voices, but I liked the second one who sang Over the Rainbow from “The Wizard of Oz” a lot better. Her voice was softer and less aggressive. The flute and piano ensemble was probably my least favorite performance of the night. She seemed unconfident and hesitant about herself and her performance. It appeared from a listening standpoint that she missed or was off on notes, which is bad if an audience member
Since I have been a student of a small private school my whole life, experiencing this event with such a large group of talented people from around the country was intimidating at first. In fact, the sheer number of people attending this event outnumbered that of my K-12 school! However, I soon realized that I could use this opportunity to challenge myself to do things that I would not normally do. For instance, when the time came for a person in our group to introduce a keynote speaker, my hand was the first (and only) one that went up. Rather than standing on the sidelines, I found myself meeting the challenge by introducing the speaker in front of the whole
The set design looked absolutely amazing and it fit with the storyline. The rustic and broken down vibe it gave set the audience up for the production. There was great detail in how the set moved and looked. Broken windows, rust, and fade colors really helped to show a run down city.
The Father/Daughter Dance was very nice. Mr. Rau stated that it was his first time being able to attend and he thoroughly enjoyed it with his girls. Mr. Rau gave kudos to everyone at WTC that helped put it together. The gym looked amazing.
What I enjoy during the concert was the dancers performing without being distracted or scare by the audience. Granted it’s to be expected and the dancers are not strangers to this, but nice to see performers not buckle down to the pressure of fear because of the audience. At the same time, I understand that they do, but what I have seen they didn't show it. What I don't like was not the quality the dances, but the different types of dances shown. Most dancers I saw only modern or contemporary pieces and the only thing different was the hip hop pieces. I didn't seem to find classical ballet, tap, jazz or anything to diversify the concert. While I didn't find the concert a chore to watch and was engaging, but I find myself looking at the hip hop dances more than I would for modern or contemporary mostly due to something different to watch.
The delivery and flow of all the speeches were great because so many people were upbeat. One of the speeches that flowed the best was Mikey’s speech because he spiced up his speech, which made me want to actually hear his speech. Another speech that I felt flowed well and was upbeat was Anthony's speech on supplements. I think that his was very upbeat because he was not nervous. Another speech that I thought was very outgoing and energetic was Kylie speech on invasive species. I think that she was upbeat because she was prepared for it. In addition, she was not very nervous
The scenic design was minimal but on point, the acting was crisp and clean, the lighting was bright and lit up the show,
Ilana Levine's talk was very funny and informative. I liked her blunt honesty specifically when she talked about going to the chorus call and didn't get seen because she didn’t have an appointment. I really liked that her and all of the speakers have said "don't be embarrassed by your ambition". Sometimes I do feel like I am focused on making sure I achieve the level of success and secure my future and people don't always understand that ambition. Another thing that she said was "there are things we can control and things we can't". This is connecting to what everyone that has been saying because we can't control a lot because of how fluid life is. I liked that she reminded me that even though I have ambition everything can't be mapped out
I recently attended a Gamblers Anonymous (GA) meeting at Perkins restaurant in Missoula Montana. At this particular meeting there were only two participants, the chair person and one group member. The chair person is a Caucasian, mid-life, female the one group member is a Caucasian, senior, female. At Perkins the group was allowed access to the back of the restaurant which was empty and consisted of several tables and chairs. Once the meeting started the atmosphere was very casual and laid back. The chair person was genuinely interested in why I was there. We talked briefly then explained to the one group member in attendance why I was there. The group member was excited to have a different face in the crowd. The conversations flowed naturally and my presence did not seem to affect the group.
