Practice, Practice, and some more Practice Our primary focus from this point onwards was completely on the final musical scene and the ending scene. For the final musical scene we were thinking out a dance routine. For this I came up with a fifteen second dance routine, which will be done in the scene. In this dance routine Kim and Olivia run towards Luke and I. Then we are supposed to lift them as they jump into our arms. After the lift the girls are supposed to hang on to our necks and we would hold their leg and then spin them. After that, we are to perform the swing dance, which was taught really well by Luke. At the end of the swing dance the girls are to wrap their legs around the guys’ waist and then we are to swing them from one side to another. Then the girls are to get down and side we are to do a side to side step routine ending with a flip. The flip was easy to perform for Kim and I but Like and Olivia are still trying to get the hang of it. Now that the routine was decided, all the focus was put on practice, practice, and more practice. I feel like this dance routine adds a sense of something spectacular to our performance showing our burst of creativity and passion. Along side with the final dance routine, we also had to memorize our lines for our final singing scene and practice our ending scene. The ending scene will be performed in the same order that the passengers got on. So I will begin the ending scene by getting up and saying my line, then Kim, then Luke, and lastly Olivia. During this week, we met outside of class and basically just practice and rehearsed the final and ending scenes to make it as perfect as possible. The dance routine adds a sort of exotic flavor to the performance and the ending scene displays the ignorance of some of the United States public.
In Sync with One Another The main goal of this week was to practice our last dance routine and memorize our lines for the singing parts. We also had to come up with

    Upon arrival, the teacher of the day, Stepahnie, told us she choreographed a dance to Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley. She had been inspired by Mia Michael's routine on the previous night's episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Since I had watched the episode, I knew the exact song and dance she was talking about. It was a beautiful song and heart-wrenching routine. It had not only brought tears to my eyes, but also to the judges. I couldn't be more excited to be there and learn a beautiful dance. What I hadn't thought of is how this dance would affect me.…

    Damn Fever Monologue

    I thought I would immediately rush the stage and began belting out the tunes of the song, amazing the audience with my brilliant monologue. Reality quickly set in. It seems I was rather naïve to think this way because before I could do perform, there was much work to be done. For starters, I had to rehearse and practice my lines over and over until I memorized them. This was not easy since I had to absorb the essence of the message behind every line of my monologue. “Was I expressing the correct emotions? Was I angry or was I expressing a joyous emotion?” There were doubts that crossed my mind. Before I could sing “Heart,” I had to participate in vocal warm-ups making sure to carry out every note clearly, making sure to carefully…

    On this paper, I will be discussing a theatrical opera from PBS.org called “IL POSTINO” (The Postman); it was adapted by Daniel Catan from the 1994 Oscar-winning Italian film Il Postino as an opera. The play depicts part of the life of Pablo Neruda’s exile to Italy. Pablo Neruda was a famous Chilean writer/poet who wrote mostly about love, and had communist ideals and ideas which often caused him serious problems. Due to those problems, the poet (Pablo Neruda) had to move to the island of Cala di Sotto. The local postman, Mario a fisherman dreamer meets Mr. Neruda and the plot starts….…

    I had no acting part so i guess i failed at that one but the Acts were all improvised because we had forgot the lines we were going to say. And for singing we just had to teach them independently my just dance verse was cut out though by me because i couldn’t remember it on the day we performed it. So i sang a bit of Pokerface instead. In my Opinion I can’t sing at the right pitch in anything we also interpreted lyrics for Bad romance and Just dance and changed a few words in Just Dance instead of saying “conflict” at the beginning of the song, we changed it to “Goo-goo”…

    As I went out onto the stage, the bright lights hurt my eyes. My hands were sweating and the music for our lyrical started to play. For this dance I felt free. I knew all the moves and they just flowed out of me as I continued to dance. I did not even think about the people in the crowd as I looked to the back of the auditorium. With every breath another second went by, and before I knew it I made my last move and left the stage. I thought “first dance down only two more to go,” as I quickly got ready for the next dance.…

    Bailando Concert Report

    The lighting effects used were alternating pulses between two and three orange lights on the psyche. The light’s timing matched the song and the color matched the dancers outfit. The style of dance for this piece was jazz with a few hip hop and lyrical incorporations. Of the six elements of choreography, three stood out to me: levels, group relationships and size of movements. Similarly to “One Dance” many transitions from high to medium and low levels such as hip sways, dips, turns, kicks, rolls, drops, flips, splits, laying down, rolls, turns, leaps, flips and tilts were used. The group relations in this piece can also be juxtaposed to “Words of a Love Song”. Performing this piece took a group effort; this dance featured several roll offs and partner styled moves. At some point during the dance, everyone had a solo moment and variations of the same movs were used between the girls. For majority of the dance, large, technically advanced moves were used and the girls used levels and traveling to cover as much space as possible. The professionalism was well in this dance. There were moments where someone may have been too early or late, but no real mistakes were made. The dancers were precise and went full out. You could tell they were performers. I liked this piece, it was sassy, fun and…

    Attending the Spring Dance concert was a fun learning experience. I am glad that this was a required assignment for this dance class because if it was not required I am sure I would not have attended . The variety of dances have taught me different things, and one of them is that you do not have to do complex moves in order to dance. The dance I have decided to write about is Voicing Acceptance choreographed my Nancy Sorensen. There are many reasons why I have chosen to do my paper on this specific dance. I will discuss how the sound or movement, lighting,movement and females/males contribute to the overall success of the dance piece.…

    Stage Fright

    It was the big day for everyone in the drama club on that one spring afternoon. Citrus High School's drama department was searching for talented students to be in its next big musical: "High School Musical." Some thought that it crept closer and closer throughout the past week, while others, mostly newcomers, wanted time to just slow down. Ms. Neander, the drama teacher, told everyone who was auditioning to take an application and wait outside in the hallway until their name was called to come back in. Everyone seemed to have a bit of jitter to them. Some were walking back and forth trying to memorize all of lines they had been working on to deliver to the judges inside, while others were quietly humming the bars of music they decided on a few days before. I sat near the doorway with my legs crossed and my mind racing. I couldn’t help thinking of all of the reasons why I shouldn’t be auditioning for this show, all of them leading back to the same conclusion: being nervous. I had all the requirements needed to take on this audition, which consisted of a one-minute monologue, and a 16-bar excerpt from as song, and it needed to be memorized. The kicker here for me is that it needed to be performed, and in front of people who were…

    Throughout the performance there seemed to be a specific theme that unified the dance from beginning to end. This theme included utilizing technology, social media, and branding. Although at times this theme seemed to dissolve and become forgotten, the majority of the dialogue seemed to reincorporate the use of the theme. The use of this specific theme is clever due to the audience relating to the quirky and underlying messages. For example, the conversation that the performers were having towards the end of the performance, they spoke as if they were commenting or tweeting to each other with the use of hashtags. However, there was not a sense of beginning and ending, since the ending became the beginning (confusing, I know).…

    Ever since I can remember, everything was handed to me on a silver platter. Anything I wished for I received. The reason this happened to was, I have a very loving as well as caring family. Because of this pedestal that I was placed on as a child I never understood the hard fact that you had to work for something you wanted, and love for that item or goal wouldn't be enough to take you there. This was until I was denied a position to play in the jazz band when I was in middle school. This set back, woke me up to grasp this important lesson.…
