York Dance Ensembles Roles

For the remainder of the month we got together three times a week to write, rehearse and iron out details of the show. That was one of the most stress filled, exciting months of my life. On one hand the pressure of the show gave us motivation to make more progress in music that i feel like i ever had in my entire life, but on the other hand that creeping feeling that we weren't going to be prepared enough by the time the show rolled around was just as constant. After weeks of stress filled practices and promoting the show to our friends and family, and around town, the night was finally

I help out a lot with our band program and make sure everything is running as smoothly as it can be in that moment. I have people come and ask me for help on music, conducting, and how to set up sectionals pretty frequently. I set up the band room every morning and take attendance and people know that they need to come to me with issues pertaining to that. I also am a librarian for both bands and have helped people, on more than one occasion, get music that they lost or left at home. I am grateful that I have been given the chance to hold these positions because they have given me more confidence and responsibility in our band

The New York City Ballet conducted a dance performance titled “New Beginnings” on the 57th floor of the Four World Trade Center in New York. The performance took place September 12th, 2013 and was intended to commemorate September 11th, 2001. A tragic event, such as September 11th, tends to leave a bitter taste in one 's mouth. The public is generally heartbroken, angry, and distressed. This performance seeks to influence the general US audience by using dance as a means of changing the perception of the aftermath of disaster. By following a narrative structure, the dance performance begins by setting the scene of New York City. The performance is then followed with analogies through dance designed to provide moments of action, climax, and resolution. The New York City Ballet uses pathos and an instance of logos through movements to enforce their attempt to alter one’s perspective. There is plenty of pathos used throughout the dance performance in order to motivate a change in thinking from the audience. I believe this strategy was extremely effective because by influencing how the audience emotionally reacts to the performance there is more likely to be a change in audience perception. The ballet incorporates inductive reasoning by taking the specific situation of September 11th and implying that, after tragedy, we will ultimately have a “new beginning”. I believe the logical appeal of this implication is effective because the audience is naturally inclined to believe if

The prestigious dance company located on the Manly Wharf, Walsh Bay supports a great following and appreciation of dance. Since 1985 the company has called The Wharf in Sydney’s Walsh Bay home. Being minutes from the city’s iconic Bridge and Opera House it gains a lot of attention by new comers to the city. Its studios can hold the most attending dance students in Australia, with nearly 80,000 attendances annually. An opportunity with a pre-professional course in dance was offered to dancers of the company during 2014. This would offer students the likelihood to gain experience with a number of Australia’s most well-known choreographers.

The production process for “The Audition” was unlike any other show I’ve been a part of. The scenes were rehearsed and broken up into sections that were often blocked out of order, and other elements of the show like the dancing and singing, also started out as separate entities from the rest of the show. This came with multiple challenges, but many of them worked themselves out in the end. The dance and choreography was especially exciting for me, because it is something I enjoy and have a talent for. That being said, there were still challenges that came along with it. I had to learn how to teach dance to people who have never set foot inside a dance studio which is no easy task. Luckily, the more

Working on Makena Costlow’s AP Rain or Shine was a truly valuable experience for me, as I had never worked as a First or Second Assistant Director before, and I was able to gain a better understanding of why these positions are so important. Additionally, through my own work and my interactions with other crew members, I learned what a great deal about what it takes to keep a set running smoothly along with what kinds of attitudes are important for keeping the crew happy and enjoying their work.

The movie “Center Stage” is about young adults who are the best ballet dancers from various backgrounds all over the world, auditioning to get admitted into a one-year program at the American Ballet Academy. Their primary goal is to compete for a position in a professional dance company. After being accepted into the academy, the dancers must first compete to get placed in a workshop, where they will perform in front of many dance company recruiters. The recruiters then pick dancers for their company based on the dancers’ workshop performance. Out of all the dancers, there are two dynamic dancers in the academy, Jodi Sawyer, and Eva Rodriguez. Both are great dancers, Jodi and Eva happen to be very different from one another.

The York Dance Ensemble Presented: Space/Time/Line, and a piece in the show that was captivating was Avium Redux choreographed by Susan Lee. The dance was a fourteen-minute number consisting of eighteen dancers. The simplicity of the dancer’s white costumes made the movements clearly visible and captivating. This dance evidently presents all aspects of body, effort, space, shape and time through the dancer’s movement.

What we did to prepare for the show can barely be called a rehearsal. All we did was make sure the microphones worked and took note of where the cameras were.

In relation to theatre, Much like a general contractor or engineer supervises an architectural project, the technical director oversees the design, management, and execution of all technical elements of a live show. Because all production companies and theaters operate differently, the exact scope of this person’s job varies, but essentially the responsibilities are the same. The TD establishes a production budget and allocates funds to individual departments like sets, costuming, and audio; she or he assesses the equipment needs of the production based on the artistic designs and hires appropriate crew. In conjunction with the prop master, master electrician, and other crew chiefs, the technical director coordinates the show build from the ground up. She or he makes sure the audio array is hung and costumes are fitted in accordance with the production schedule. A certain amount of administrative tasks fall under the TD’s purview, as he or she is the person responsible for securing permits, adhering to OSHA safety standards, and liaising with the fire marshal. The technical director is both a lead technician and a business administrator who must account for payroll, expense reports, and inventory.
