It made the music to which they were dancing, the music sounded so peaceful but at the same time it really went with the music that had been playing. The music faded back in and it was like if the music had always been there because there was always the constant movement of the legs, so always the constant sound of the rattles. Then the men, took the stage. I had noticed earlier that the men were wearing a piece of what looked like wood, wrapped around their thighs. When they took the stage, they all lined up, and
The next movement I noticed was two dancers doing a kind of “stomping” on the stage. This conveyed a very tribal message to me. Finally, I noticed in movement in which the performer twirled in place on stage. This gave me a sense of relaxation. The sound score starts out very tribal but then transforms into a slightly more sophisticated musical composition.
Labor Union strikes were the most prominent form of worker insurrection against employers. During the period of 1875-1900, many labor unions participated in strikes, however many of them failed to achieve their goals. The biggest reason that farmers and workers went on strike was clearly stated by a machinist before the Senate Committee on Labor and Capital. Because machines were taking jobs away, workers would lose their livelihood, and most likely their only source of income. In the year of 1877, employees working for the four largest railroads went on strike due to the fact that their employers cut their wages by 10 percent; this was known as the Great Rail Road Strike.
There were a few years between Graeme wanting to dance and being able to dance. Growing up he became inspired by the way the body moved, he often was taking risks to develope new ideas, another inspiration for movement for him was the local sawmill, where the workers movement and the sounds
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.
The friendship between the dancers backstage immediately establishes that these people belong together through their love for dance. The spotlight scene is important as it highlights Scott’s sense of not belonging. The voice over in this scene reinforces the steps that don’t belong
The movements of the hands are very important because they are the imitations of a palm tree, war, plants, and even animals. When dancing the hula, you are transforming yourself mentally into the object you are imitating throughout the dance. Chants also appear with the hula dance. When the hula was first introduced, the chants were the most important aspect. Now, that has all changed and the movements are most important.

These gases tortured its victims for anywhere from 48 hours to a full 5 weeks before killing them. The crazed victims that lived through these horrible infections would most likely end up in an insane asylum. To further disillusion the troops, the leadership of common soldiers was given to an officer about two miles away from the front line, resulting in extremely poor decisions; Even the commanding officers that were at the front line possessed very poor leadership, especially on the French side. For a good first hand example of the despair, we turn to the work of Wilfred Owen. In Owens’s poem Dulce Et Decorum Est the soldiers are pictured as "Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, knock-kneed, coughing like hags...".
Vision for the Future In America in the eighteen hundreds, slavery was in full swing in the south. Beaten, battered, and bruised, the life of a slave was one of the most grueling hardships that anyone has ever had to face. Between horrid living conditions, intense labor, and sinister masters and overseers, life in the south for a slave was nothing short of hell. Families were torn apart in this time, some never even knowing who there family was. Many people died in this vicious cycle of imprisonment and tyranny, without any justification as to why they were being treated this way.
