Then…. on the other hand, there are head-spinning challenges of the Drama-engagers and the Witch-King / Queens. I’m sure these perplexing archetypes present in any group situation, but they have their own special ‘twists’ in pagan circles. For the Drama-engagers, it’s all about them! They shamble from one extreme to the other, leaving puzzled and hurt victims in their wake. Often charismatic, attractive and full of energy, one is best reminded of a beautifully patterned shiny snake… glorious to

"And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, a classic novel of a twisted murder mystery set in England. A show that requires great creativity and adaptability to be able to make this show work. An actor's workplace is on the stage along with other cast members, working together to perform a show to an audience. Although, actors have to work together, they also have to work on themselves. That's why I believe that the life lessons, such as a new perspective and the creative freedom, I have learned

I went to the Broward Center for The Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to see the musical: Newsies; choreographed by Christopher Gattelli and Lou Castro. The style of dance that appeared to be most evident to me was contemporary musical theatre along with some tap. In terms of technique, I noticed they really used their plie to help launch them into all of their jumps and leaps; this is something I noticed the most in the fight scene. After seeing their usage of plie, I thought of when you

As an audience member in the play Spring Awakening I would say that the acting, directing, and design came together for a successful production and interpretation of this 19th century German Drama. First off, the majority of the actors showcase the Realism and Naturalism that the producer Frank Wedekind intended for this period piece. I would say the majority excelled because I was personally confused by the two adult leads having multiple roles. But once I caught onto what was happening I feel that

About 1.27 billion dollars worth of movie tickets are sold each year in U.S./Canada. Actors jobs are to play characters to create a storyline to entertain the audience for the few short hours that the audience is watching the movie. Like other jobs being an actor is a business and requires experience and hard work to be successful and is a reasonable job choice and career to go into. Acting requires attainable qualifications. Persistence and stamina and a good memory is needed for getting jobs

She Loves Me Review By: Jacob Turner Preceding each and every performance associated with this theatre class, I have continually needed to keep an open mind about what we’re watching. Whether it is the plays in the performing arts center or productions shown in the classroom, I’ve never known where to set expectations for myself. Some of the productions I have viewed this semester have been wonderful to watch, while others unfortunately have only been slightly short of disappointing. From the opening

1101 As you like it assay_Cruz Rick Lombardo commented on his vision of the play living a simpler lifestyle. For his theme of the production is finding a way for a simpler life to nature. Finding a way to reconnect and transfer to a simpler process. Rick states we are attached to our devices. Rick also comments that we are not taking advantage of reconnecting with one another instead we rather be attached to our devices thru social media.. The desing of the dustopian community was central to

The Philadelphia Story creates a believable space by making storytelling its main focus. Like similar classical films, this film provides little room to let the audience question anything happening onscreen, as most objects given focus within the mise-en-scene are important for the story’s progression. For example, early in the film’s screen time, Lord meets her fiancé, George Kittredge, at a stable with her uncle and sister. In the very first shot of Lord’s uncle, Willie, he is holding a copy of

While going to see the play there was a display that basically introduces what was going to be seen throughout the production. The lobby display consisted of multiple pictures and information that was very helpful to have. The first piece of information I was subjected to was how they made the costumes. The clothing was comprised of, how the ideal person dressed in biblical times. Like the baggy pants, multicolored tops or vests. Typically they wore no shoes or sandals, another thing that I noticed

Imagine men on stilts who juggle, performing mimes, and dancing fire breathers who performed for the streets of Baie-Saint-Paul in Quebec, Canada. These performers would later become known as Cirque du Soleil (Cirque du Soleil). However, these performers would not be known by this name until much later in time. Originating on the streets Cirque du Soleil started out as a group of street performers called, “Club des Talons Hauts,” or the, “High-Heels Club,” since most of its members performed on stilts
