Rites

For my second analysis, I went to a church in my hometown of Paris, Texas called Freedom Church. This church is a new non-denominational church that is trying to reach to the “de-churched and unchurched” as their tag line says. They have only been operational now for less than a year, so they are still trying to get new people to join their church. For this reason, this past Friday they put on a huge Easter event for kids and adults that had games, dinner, and a worship service. I saw and experienced

Connections: Identity and Rites of Passages The concept of identity, although elusory, is widely understood to be as much a social construction as it is an individual one. Rites of passages parallel these traits, as they are typically social “events,” however these social events are almost always followed by, if not coinciding with, huge changes to one’s sense of self (or to put it another way, identity). These events are paradigms of one’s constantly evolving identity, and by interviewing an elder

It’s a warm Sunday morning coast to coast, as little boys and girls rush to the church that sits patiently waiting for them to arrive. Their parents follow behind, walking just fast enough to keep up, but not so fast that they too look like children. The elderly seem to have already taken their seats, as they like to arrive early in order to obtain their reserved spot only made so according to them. Whether the congregation gathers in a barn or a cathedral, you will always find the same three types

Although Toundi’s puberty rites of passage is imminent, he leaves his community to live with a missionary. He passes the separation stage when he is isolated from his home, family, and community. The ordeal stage is also undergone, when Toundi is faced with many ordeals when living with the French. Although the first two stages of the rites of passage had been experienced, it was clear to the reader that Toundi would not be reincorporated into his old society or even a new society. Through Toundi’s

Dance Critique: The Rite of Spring The Rite of Spring was choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky, a Russian dancer and choreographer. He joined The Imperial School of Ballet in 1900 and was later the lead dancer of the Ballet Russes. He eventually choreographed many works, one of them being Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) in 1913. He “exceeded the limits of traditional ballet” and the Rite was an example of this. In 1919 he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent the rest of his

Worship Analysis #2 For my second analysis, I went to a church in my hometown of Paris, Texas called Freedom Church.

In my CEPD 3200: Skills and Ethics in Human Services course, I had to complete three hours of service learning in a facility of my choice. For my Service Learning Project, I volunteered at Southern Hills Christian Church, a local church that my family attends. Southern Hills Christian Church has a church service for children in Kindergarten-3rd grade called “All Stars”, which is where I completed my service learning hours. I chose to complete my hours at the church in the children’s department because

Rituals display and reinforce group membership and identity. There are two types of rituals, the rites of intensification and the rites of passage. The rites of intensification displays and reinforces group membership, social status and hierarchy. Rites of passage include stages of separation (from old identity), transition / liminality and reincorporation into a new state. The relationship between rituals and history has

synonymous with a phrase as simple as “tie your shoes.” For me, high school graduation would be a standard occurrence, but my college graduation would be celebrated. The college I would attend required thoughtful consideration because it will be my rite of passage. When I dreamt of my intended college, I knew it would be set in a beautiful city, bustling with energy, and full of consciously creative people. I didn’t know if my university campus would be urban or suburban, but I knew it would spark

performed on a stage with elaborate costume, scenic design and lighting. Ballet can tell a story, thought and emotion through the dance. In addition, ballet can be charmed, exiting or provoking. The analyses these two style ballet “Sleeping Beauty” and “Rite of Spring.” this paper will describe the harmony, texture, and characteristic, which use the dissonance that help clarify stylistic identification, especially with regard to contemporary instrumental dance repertories of lute and ensemble music.
