The JMU Senior Dance Concert was produced and choreographed by the graduating seniors who majored in dance as part of their final thesis. The dance concert was held on February 11-13th at the Forbes Theater. The dance performances had mixtures of ballet‚ contemporary‚ modern‚ and hip-hop dance combined to create exciting and alluring dance pieces. The theme that the seniors chose for their final performances was “home”. The first dance began with the lights off and the stage dark. Then

Concert Report The Wayne Shorter Quarter concert was unlike any concert I have ever been to. The variety of instruments and style of the performers contributed to a unique experience. Not only was the music I heard versatile on several levels‚ but the behavior of the performers‚ appearance of the audience‚ and atmosphere of the venue contributed to my take away from the show. These factors allowed me to obtain a better understanding of jazz as not only an art form‚ but as a culture. The audience

Descriptive Portrait: My Grandmother When I picture my grandmother‚ I envision shiny grey hair‚ bright blue eyes‚ and the softest hands I have every felt. She is 94 years old and has 12 children. Virginia Irene Dill has raised many children‚ and that makes her the strongest person I know. When I walk through the door of her 75 year old home‚ I think of all the pain and joy my grandmother went through there. After so many years‚ our time together was not quite the same as it used to be since ten

Chris Richards talks about Lorde’s weird style in her performance‚ but also her lyrical relevance to the audience in which she is performing too. Richards talks about how Lorde’s age is not the only thing that makes her different and stand out from other artist‚ but also how her songs can relate to her

CONCERT ATTENDANCE REPORT I am a casual listener because I like having music playing‚ filling the environment with sounds. I can listen to music while studying and sleeping‚ and I like listening to music because it can make me relax and ignore the noise that around me. I attended the concert on October 5 at 8:00pm. Contrapunctus XIX‚ from The Art of the Fugue‚ BWV 1080 by Johann Sebastian Bach‚ Metamorphosen by Richard Strauss and Symphony No.7 in A major‚ Op.92 by Ludwig Van Beethoven were performed

The concert I am reviewing is named “Bailando” and was put on by our MPDC is the spring of 2015 (my 8th grade year). I choose to critique this specific concert because I could not get to/afford professional shows and I have never seen one of our concerts from start to finish. Dance is my passion and I would like to see what it takes to reach each level. The first performance of the show was entitled “One Dance” and performed by both Junior and Senior Company‚ which was something I have not seen before

Music played an essential role in Italy during the Renaissance period‚ just as it does in current times. Major changes were made in composing‚ disseminating music‚ new musical genres‚ and the development of instruments. Church music was the most important music for those in the Renaissance.

Neumes originally only stated the direction of the melody

Dance Concert Critique When I thought of dance for the first time‚ I believed it was just simplistic movement and structured choreography. However‚ dance can be interpreted as a story versus just following a beat through its unique body language‚ musical composition‚ and set of props. The Fall Dance Theatre demonstrates these traits extensively within its performances specifically the pieces “In Sleep‚ We Dream” and “I’m Still with You”. The performance “In Sleep‚ We Dream” has two different
