Hamlet Movie Comparison From the two versions of Hamlet that we watched, Mel Gibson/Glenn Close and Kenneth Branagh; despite the fact they have the same plot but there are few differences between the both versions. Hamlet acting is really different in both versions of the movie. In Kenneth Branagh version we see the movie is done with strong emotions but Hamlet overacts in most of the scenes. We also see that Hamlet is not a calm thinker by watching how Hamlet amplifies his manners throughout the movie. In Mel Gibson’s version of Hamlet, Hamlet’s acting is outstanding because while watching the play we can see the effort and talent Gibson has put in the movie.
At first when he signed on to do The King and I he was under the impression that “he only had to do (that) one ballet” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg 46) but he did end up choreographing many other dance sequences like “Getting to Know You” or “The March of the Siamese Children”. “Robbins planned the scene to delight both Anna and the audience. Some carry out their duties in exemplary fashion, which highlighted the different ones and the tiniest provide a high degree of adorable and some concern they’ll screw up” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg
When I was reading the book I was so surprised at how much Esme used multiple intelligences and different use of texts, media, visual, and other many good practices. Esme’s classroom was a canvas of stimuli and visuals. When told by a colleague that her room was distracting Esme thought to herself that the teacher in question was jealous. I have to agree with Esme, I believe the teacher was jealous of Esme’s enthusiasm, youth and spirit. The teacher may have genuinely been concerned with presenting too much information to students but through my classes at Sage, excessive stimuli is good of students with ADD because it gives them many things to focus on instead of causing behavioral problems.
In the video, the dance looked like it was very easy to execute but having already been in the technique class all year, it is amazing to know that doing the movements correctly is actually difficult. May O’Donnell constructs her pieces with the use of spacial structure. She organizes her dancers so that different groups are spread out differently throughout the stage and at times she uses all dancers in one singular spacial structure, like a diagonal. She changes the organization on stage frequently so that the audience would be constantly captivated by the rapid action on stage. She also uses many other choreographic tools to keep the attention of the audience and bring contrast to her piece.
These include Ecco (1971), Sequenza VII (1977), Poppy (1978), Nearly beloved (1984), Swan Lake (2001) and Shades of gray (2004). He based many of his works on his wife Janet, and in many them they danced together. They create their movements by feeding off the passion they feel for one another, and they can also relate to one another. ...“i can feel his movements before he does them”... As Graeme created and choreographer more and more works, he began to think dance was too ‘cautious’. He began to create his works by following his instinct, these soon became is best works.
Another thing we found challenging, was actually working in the group itself! Initially, it was fine because we had quickly established which one of us would be which character in the performance. However soon after there were problems with spacing, which meant we argued a lot with each other and with other groups! This is something a dancer must consider in order to improve in their group performance, because good co-operation with all the dancers means a smoother performance. Probably the easiest thing our group found, which overall really helped us improve in our performance, was lifts.
I wonder if they grasp the meaning of the movie; do they see the hidden meaning and understand the symbolism in the imagery? I originally saw the movie in 1989 to see what all the hype was about. Also, I loved Robin Williams as an actor/comedian. How different this role was for Mr. Williams as compared to watching him on the television show, Mork ‘n Mindy, as a child. Seeing the movie with a fresh perspective has served almost as reinforcement to me; I am “Seizing the Day”, pursuing the dreams I had as a young lady.
Key features of my chosen practitioner and justification for our choice of Ashputtel to illustrate their influence. The Practitioner which my group chose to use as a result of their surrealist and stylized theatrical style was the theatre Company Kneehigh. Kneehigh aim to recreate well known stories and focus on recreating moods, environments and feelings In order to create, as the Artistic director Mike Shepherd put it, “theatre of humanity on an epic and tiny scale”[1]. Kneehigh use many techniques which we felt personally drawn to as actors and wanted to use throughout our piece. They use a mixture of physical theatre, live music, visual imagery and puppetry to reveal different aspects and feelings of characters and situations
Prof Eric Parness Show Review November 26th, 2013 Becky Shaw Show Review I had very mixed reviews on the show Becky Shaw. I enjoyed the acting, the set, and the way the show was put on, but the actual plot itself confused me a little bit. I thoroughly enjoyed the set, and the way the stage was set up. The theatre felt more intimate, and I felt closer to the characters. The way the characters used the space was very nice, both Max and Andrew walked around a lot, and moved between the two sides of the stage.
Burlesque was often used to mock famous and well known classical theatre productions, such as ballet, which is a show seen by the upper class of the time. Burlesque performances where based on opera and ballet pieces but were adapted to be made more like a comic play or a musical play by using quotes from the originals and making them funny, almost taking the mickey out of the upper class. Parts of the history of Burlesque that I want to relate to our choreography is how it has never been taken very seriously and its having fun on stage, showing off and showing something about your personality to the audience. I think to have a successful showcase of
