I took this class theater because it was something I need toward my major, I figure it was going be an easy course but I was wrong after the first day when we did reading from the text. Theater deals with a lot of critical thinking because I was thinking a lot and at the same time learning too. I didn’t really know a lot the history behind theater as well I know now. First of all, theater has never occurs in my mind of how important it is because I always thought it just about people who played a role of many different chartists and story. All my life I always come cross seeing a one type of theater is seeing one’s of my favorite R and B musical singer at a concert and that simmered seeing a play because they both have a lot in comment like the audience, stage spaces, director, producer, and many more.
Faith Winter Core Viewing Analysis: Rent 810967028 Rent: The Bohemian HIV Musical In the musical Rent there is the very prevalent theme of the “other” while taking a closer look at the low society of HIV in the LBGT community. A community forms around this commonality and they begin to rely on each other for support to live with their disease instead of counting the days down to their death. In this paper I will argue that the theme of homosexuality and HIV/AIDS was prevalent and ever emerging during the time period that the musical hit Broadway. Through campaigns, awareness efforts, and individual stories, I will connect the musical to the actual life in the in 1996. This begins first by looking at examples from the play that connected to events that were taking place within society.
Churchill explores into depth with elements consisting of Class-consciousness, socialist-feminism and sexual politics, with the intentions to spread social and class awareness. ‘Cloud Nine’ was the first play in which had received a large response from the public. The playwright was first performed in 1979, and stood out to be one of Churchill’s greatest playwrights in respect to portraying gender roles and the hidden works behind a colonized and modern society. The first act of ‘Cloud Nine’ is situated in the Victorian Africa, while the second act is placed one hundred years later, in London in 1979, but as for the actors they have only aged twenty-five years, stating that maybe society has not changed that immensely. (Waterman,1999) Churchill has developed ‘Cloud Nine’ to play around the roles of a patriarchal society, which helps distinguish the gender roles that were apparent at both of these times.
Shakespeare On Trial - Critical Review In a well-rehearsed and entertaining performance, the team from Shakespeare On Trial (Sam, Bella and Paul) present a unique play which contrasts and compares various interpretations within William Shakespeare’s works. The performance focused on Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” and “Romeo and Juliet”. The entire performance was based on talk shows which demonstrated the different interpretations of Shakespeare’s works, through discussions, arguments and brief scenes. The performance allows the audience to look past their own opinions of Macbeth or Shakespeare, and enables them to appreciate different interpretations of the plays; enhancing their understanding. Despite the absence of special lighting, costumes or a large troupe, the team was able to present a captivating performance which kept the audience entertained from beginning to end.
After reading this article, I started to pay closer attention to this poor-putting issue and I noticed that everything he points out is entirely true! The thing that I liked the most about this article was his introduction/title. The title “Why Women Putt Worse than Men” is shocking because nobody has really posed the question before and I commend him for it. His article was probably frowned upon at first but if women would just read it, they could start to ask themselves, “Why am I not doing the same things that the guys are doing?”, and it would actually help their putting. His cover page shows a woman in a putting stance with a guy in a lab suit watching her every move and a bunch of gauges surrounding her which implies that they are going to back up that title with some case studies and statistical analyses.
This was not a place of healing or hope, but of despair with little recourse. Overall, the direction and performance of the actors seemed smooth with plenty of energy to keep the audience engaged. The one scene I would absolutely change, however, is the explicitly sensual scene between Dr. McFarland and Mrs. Elizabeth Packard when he offered “hands-on” therapy. For me, the directed action did not match the dialogue. It seemed forced and ultimately unnecessary.
Self-Disclosure Reflective Essay: Speech 1 Speaking in public isn’t something I am good at, I would either mess up a couple of times or I would just read straight off my script. While looking at the video that was recorded of me delivering my speech, I notice all of my weaknesses and my strengths. While watching the video it made me realize what I should of have done better to deliver a good speech. When I was delivering my self-disclosure speech, I was having trouble pronouncing some words correctly. I was nervous and I didn’t have speaking points so I just decided to read directly from my script.
With that said I did not like how the play was set up with the narrator. I understood that some parts of the story was cut out and the narrator was put in
The set is something you had to see for yourself. The lighting I did not pay much to. Just because I was more focused on the story itself and getting lost in the story. The costumes were very great. Every costumes added to the story itself.
The book's spine is now held together with tape, but I doubt I'll ever give this book away. Until December 2008, however, I hadn't seen any theatrical productions of Peter Pan. After a recent trip to London, in which I was fortunate enough to research the history of the original play at V&A Museum archives in South Kensington, I learned first-hand about JM Barrie's behind-the-scenes work with this play. The show's first production, performed on 27 December 1904 at Duke of York's Theatre, was rife with racist stereotypes of indigenous people and sexist stereotypes of female characters such as Tiger Lily, Tinkerbell and Wendy Darling, but the play also spawned a lasting public interest in this fictional character's adventures. Fortunately, the offensive aspects of Barrie's story have been addressed in a new generation's transformation of the story: PJ Hogan's 2003 hit film Pan advances the story towards an equality-based interpretation of this timeless children's tale through a more complex, sensitive portrayal of issues related to race and gender.
