Music at the Turn of the Century While walking around the Stephenville Historical Museum there were two things in particular that caught my eye. They were both record players that dated back to the early 1900s, and one was even said to be from 1905.The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison, patented in 1878, and comes from the Greek word meaning sound and is literally translated to phone. Also, instead of vinyls like we know today, cylindrical tin foil was used to make the disk that would produce sound. When lines and grooves were cut or etched onto the disk, a needle would trace over the lines and the vibration from this process created sound. Soon after the invention caught on, the tin foil was replaced by cylindrical cardboard coated in wax, and eventually vinyl which of course is still used today.
The name derived from similar aluminum bars that were mounted vertically and operated from the "harp" stop on a theatre organ. Since Deagan trademarked the name, others were obliged to use the earlier "vibraphone" for their instruments incorporating the newer design. As its popularity grew, other manufacturers began producing instruments based on Schluter's design, marketed under a variety of names. Although J.C. Deagan, Inc. called the instruments vibraharps. As the market for vibraphones was proven, several other manufacturers stepped in to supply the demand.
(Lewis 7) But that is exactly what started the evolution of the motion picture. To settle the bet Eadweard Muybridge set up a row of cameras along a racetrack’s straightaway and timed exposures to capture the many stages of a horse’s gallop. (Lewis 7) This “battery-of- cameras” technique brought photography once step closer to cinema. (Lewis 7) Thomas Edison happened to attend one of Muybridge shows and met with him afterwards. (Lewis 8) Edison then traveled to France to meet with Etienne-Jules Marey who used a shotgun-shaped camera to shoot sequential photographs.
I was really impressed by the way he first starts of when he has an idea for a new creation and the outcome when his helpers are done with them. Chihuly’s chandeliers are very impressive. They range from symmetrical to random. Mostly on all of his chandeliers, he likes to add color strings in the inside and outside to give each piece more character. He adds swirls,
'39 steps' evaluation The 39 steps was written in 1915 by the author John Buchan. The original book was a big hit within the world and therefore was adapted into a movie production and a live theatre piece, which I was lucky enough to be able to go and see. The play was cleverly crafted by Patrick Barlow who managed to create this book into the hysterical play it is. Within this I will be talking about how the variety of production elements all blended into one hilarious play. Within the first scene we see Richard Haney (Ben Righton) in his very tradition and stereotypical London based home.
The Henry V Chorus asks those present to look beyond the limitations of the small Elizabethan stage and imagine it as grander than it actually is. In the Prologue to Act 1, the Chorus asks “…Can this cockpit hold / The vasty fields of France? Or may we cram / Within this wooden O the very casques / That did affright the air at Agincourt?” (I.Prologue.11-14). Shakespeare also uses the Chorus before each of the acts to continually remind the audience of a need for imaginative cooperation. For example, in the Act III Prologue, the Chrous requests that the audience gives their imagination free rein: “Play with your fancies and in them behold” (III.Prologue.7) and supplement the performance with their own imaginings: “And eke out our performance with your mind” (III.Prologue.35).
Samantha Lewis January 26, 2012 Dance 1950’s The 1950’s was a new and improved time period. The musicals were made with the intentions of having a plot, theme, and scheme behind it. Guys and Dolls were popular. This is a form of dramatic art, in which every song, dance, and line of dialogue developed the plot. Gene Kelly choreographed several dance and drama films, one called “An American in Paris” (1951).
According to his autobiography, he was the first to use two turntables and a microphone at the Grand Records Ball at the Guardbridge Hotel in 1947. [22] It was billed as 'Jimmy Savile introducing Juke Box Doubles'. Savile is acknowledged as a pioneer of using twin turntables for continuous music playing,[23] although his claim to have been the first is disputed (twin turntables were illustrated in the BBC Handbook in 1929 and advertised for sale in Gramophone magazine in
This disorder is called Trichotillomania (TTM) and I will be investigating the emotional and physical effects of this disorder (qtd. in Hollander and Stein 150). When I first heard of the term Trichotillomania, I thought it was a very interesting name for such a simple act for hair pulling and wondered how it was originated and defined. According to Hautmann, Hercogova, and Lotti, the word Trichotillomania derives from the ancient Greeks (807). “In 1889, Hallopeau, a French dermatologist, reported a case of self-inflicted depilation of the scalp and coined the term trichotillomania (from the Greek thrix, hair; tillein, pulling out; mania, madness)” (Hautmann, Hercogova, and Lotti 807).
Conclusion The theatre world of the Shakespearean Era in London was a big progress for the whole history of theatre. People like William Shakespeare, James Burbage and the King's Men made it possible to create a completely new form of watching plays. Although they introduced plenty of innovations to the playhouses and the plays themselves, the low-pricing policy of the Globe was affordable for nearly everyone, no matter what class you were from and enabled a large spread of plays or any kind of entertainment. William Shakespeare used the public playhouse to première many of his plays, like Macbeth, The Winter's Tale or Richard II and he really had a passion for it. Those happenings in the late 16th and early 17th century paved the way for a legal and censor free theatre experience in the modern world and plays like Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and the revolutionary way they were circulated will never fall into
