I Fall to Pieces

Fall Dance Concert Dance is not just about technique. It’s about taking risks and making art come alive. The pieces in Hofstra’s Fall Dance Concert exemplified this notion through their use of storytelling and unique choreography. Personally, my favourite piece was “Quadrabox”. All of the dances drew me in, but “Quadrabox” left a lasting impression. “Quadrabox” was choreographed and composed by Robert Benford and Martha Patridge. At the show I saw, the piece began with two groups of four dancers

Long Pieces Reflection The short pieces that I have chosen are Technology is in Control and Kidnapped by fate.These are both fictional stories that I have created and are both set in a very futuristic world. “Technology is in Control” is set in a dystopian society where a dictator controls a whole society with technology. While, “Kidnapped by fate” is similar by the fact that a dictator controls a group of people by trapping them in a car in a deserted town. I really enjoy writing pieces likes these

Thematic Groupings of Essays The three essays selected have several key traits in common. Among the traits shared, each piece is written by a woman. Each essay expresses both a single aspect and the general experience of being a woman in a western patriarchal society. Additionally, each piece of writing is specifically divided into sections by theme, by style, and sometimes by formatting. This essay will examine the essays as a group and specifically take note of the divisions within each essay

Act I of Puccini's La Boheme is an Opera that was written in1896. The song describes an encounter between a man and woman who eventually fall in love. The woman goes to a mans house to relight her candle. While she is there she faints, once she awakens she relights her candle then leaves. She quickly returns once she realizes she is missing her key. While both are now searching for the key in the dark both of their hands meet and it is love. Puccini makes fluctuations in tempo, which affects the

I decided to watch the fall dance concert, Reflections, at IVC for this critique. The performances were held in the theater which to my surprise, is larger than I expected. I was also delighted to see the use of multiple kinds of lights to imbue a specific meaning. All the performances were great but the ones I felt the most connection to after watching are the ones I have decided to write on. The first piece that had a lasting impact on me is titled Unwavering struggle and is choreographed by Jennifer

Comparing Themes In the piece, “If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth” the author talks about a world where our very own birthright, the Earth, is taken from us and we are forced to live on a lunar colony because those before us were too selfish to take care of what they had. In the piece, “from Silent Spring” the author talks to us about a little town where the birds are always singing, the fields are always prosperous, and where people come from all around just to hear the songs of all the birds. Then in

“Declaration of Sentiments of the Seneca Falls Woman’s Rights Convention”. The authors of these passages had distinctly different writing styles, yet they had a similar agenda behind their writing. Although they had similar agendas there are definite differences in their views, wants, and demands. Each author’s writing style set their work apart, and their tones differentiate from one another. The “Letter to John Adams” and “Declaration of Sentiments of the Seneca Falls Woman’s Rights Convention” are both

examined Arthur's body, a piece of evidence they saw helped them conclude that, “Arthur had died from a wound on his head and confirmed the fact that he’d been intoxicated.” Though a lot of us agreed that something suspicious happened, we all also felt that what Queenie said is not all true.

actors with improv, and I am one of them. When this assignment was given to me, I carefully examined which theatre theorist related to my weakness pertaining theatre and discovered Viola Spolin. About a month ago, I volunteered to participate in Arts Week at my school. My task was to get on stage in front of an audience and improv for two minutes while a dancer, musician, and singer performed with me. I wanted to do something serious. Normally, I play characters that are funny. I wanted to show the audience
