This documentary was not shot in one particular spot, rather, it switched between the homes of the former ballet members as well as several different dance studios. The documentary also featured previously recorded films of the original ballet performances. Much of the infrastructures can be seen through these historic clips. These infrastructures included buildings such as the theatres the ballet troupes performed in. Mentioned in the film were the Royal Opera House Concert Gardens and Drury Lane Theatre both located in London; as well as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.

Physical theatre, by contrast appeals to the audience on a physical and emotional level, providing a much more immediate experience than traditional theatre” ~ (Artmedia Publishing in Zen Zen Zo’s “The Tempest” Teacher’s Notes)…

For the past few weeks in Performance Arts Class, we have worked on choreography pieces created by different people in the class. Each person in the class was given the chance to be a choreographer. The choreographers would choose other students to act as performers in their dance. The choreographers would choose the performers based on the movement styles they had shown in previous classes. Not only were the students choreographing their own dances, but they were also performing in an average of three other dances. In this amazing experience, we were given the opportunity to put our creative and expressive qualities into our dance and those of our classmates. In this experience, I performed in three dances and was able to choreograph a dance with two of my classmates. I was able to use all of the different things I learned throughout the year in these pieces. I was able to see how I improved in being both a choreographer and a performer. I also learned about my abilities, while I worked in both of these roles, and how I…
