Point Space”. I chose this video because I have never seen a Sevillanas dance, especially in a wedding reception. The Sevillana dance is very common is Spain. Watching the child dance Sevillana with the bride is amusing. Dancing with the child on the day of her wedding signifies that the child means a lot for her.
Analyse the presentation of the Mundy sisters in Act One of Dancing at Lughnasa. What different methods does Friel use to convey both their individuality and their roles in the family Friels presentation of the Mundy sisters in Act one is conveyed through different methods such as stage directions, costume and their speech. As early has Friel introduces the characters it is made apparent that they all fit into a hierarchy within the family which is conveyed through the interactions of the sisters. Kate at the top of hierarchy is portrayed as the authority and mother figure, Friel shows this by crafting Kate’s language to include many imperatives ‘We’re going nowhere!’ ‘there’ll be no more discussion about it.’ She has strong Christian beliefs which somewhat limit the sisters from reaching any full potential. Kate’s disapproval and hesitancy towards the Lughnasa festival illustrates the role of religion in the society they live in, she uses the noun ‘fever’ to describe the town’s reaction to the dance, the noun has negative connotations which authenticates her judgement.
The costumes accredited to Jess Gersz were extremely flashy, and looked like it could have been worn out on a normal day, and not just this dance. “Dance Dance Dance” is a dance that serves a purpose of entertainment, with an underlying message that makes the audience think about and question that certain type of dancing (which is entertainment, such as competition or cheering). The one segment of the piece that totally stood out to me was the part of the show where there was a microphone passed to one of the girls, and a couple dancers were throwing out t-shirts to the audience. It was at this point where I realized how this piece was created to create a mockery of competition dancing. The dancers come along the sides of the audience in the aisles and begin to cheer to ‘pump up’ the audience.
They talk about the Halloween dance and who they will bring. That night they both babysit kids within a block of each other. They even hitch a ride together to those houses. As the girls are traced throughout the film, they contrast each other through both their opposing priorities and, more importantly, through their sexual experiences. In the end, Laurie is more suitable than Annie to be the only survivor in the film.
Everyone from the neighbourhood would gather together for a few sessions of dances and use that moment to talk to each other about their recent status. They would also gossip about who’s new in town, who’s the “right” one to marry and who’s not agreeable enough to marry. In Pride and Prejudice, after the Meryton ball, not only did Jane and Elizabeth review the ball by discussing how Mr. Bingley and Jane were attracted to each other but also the Bingleys and Mr. Darcy discuss the ball and agree on Jane’s beauty and sweet disposition. Being set and written in the 18th century, Pride and Prejudice also resembled the society lifestyle during that time, including the way of communicating to each other through letters. At Austen's time, letter was just another piece of paper folded around the rest, mostly because they didn't use postage nor envelope.
In Harmers opening sentence she makes reference to a personal experience that she had while she was holidaying at a hotel in Bali, she says she watched young Balinese girls with their “torsos wrapped in golden fabric, hair elaborately styled, nails painted, eyes fully made up and lips stained ruby red” while they performed alongside their big sisters and mothers, dancing with sheer talent. Harmer later says that after a conversation at the bar afterwards that everyone agreed that it was beautiful to see these girls connecting with their culture, no one there was ranting that these young girls were being sexualized or that there was any self “grooming” from paedophiles in the audience. This statement shows her comparing the moral panic surrounding the child beauty pageants in an analogy with the use of this tradition. Harmer then

A beginner dancer, who dances with a girl and does not fit in. She is not pretty, wears fish bowl glasses and dresses like a dag. One example where we simply see the alienation and rejection is in the scene where Scott is dancing on his own, while Fran is secretly watching, and wanting to dance with Scott. There are many techniques used, including music, sound effects such as Scott stomping and sliding, and rapid fire editing which focuses the
Characters are also created throughout the chapter. The frivolous nature of the community is suggested by Austen in chapter 3. For instance, Sir William is said to have thought Mr Bingley to be ‘young, wonderfully handsome ... and meant to be at the next assembly with a large party’. Lady Lucas recounts this to some of the more eager Bennet daughters; and then the narrator comments that ‘to be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love’. On stating that dancing is a ‘certain step to falling in love’, the narrator can clearly be seen to satirize, and take on the persona of characters who would anticipate ‘the next assembly’ – namely Sir William, Lady Lucas, Mrs Bennett, Lydia and Catherine.
Katy also wore cream-coloured stockings showing her fit legs along with pink heels and small, bedazzled pink bracelets while the pink and purple spot lights illuminated Katy’s pale skin tone. Katy Perry’s backup dancers wore girly, pink and white laced outfits. Although their outfits were as beautiful as Katy’s, Katy managed to outshine her backup dancers with her jaw-dropping singing. The powerhouse diva gave an incessant performance where she sung and dance effortlessly to choreographed dance moves as if there was no tomorrow. Katy’s captivated audience always attempted to run towards her, but was prevented by the numerous bodyguards, as if they were a pack of mad dogs being restricted by Animal Control.
