The performers were close together in a clump, center stage. They moved as one body, as one soul as one performer. The women were dressed in nude long dress, and men in nude leotard. The formation of the dance started with a triangle shape clump which was visible when they did a level change increase as it went from front to back. Few times they expanded out of the clump using the space of the stage but always returned back together as one, center stage.
This dance seemed to be very precise. My evaluation says that it was a very sad but yet entertaining dance. The Greek story about how Prometheus stole the fire from Zeus was in there because of the fire, but what I realized was that it seemed to be more of a love story than anything else. The lifts and in how they were executed was very well. The story seemed to be very well thought of, The dancers all was very good.
Many outliers got their ideas and thoughts on the outside history that was surrounding them as well. She had many famous dances, and some are still known today. Chapter 3: The Modern Dancers." University of Pittsburgh. N.p., n.d.
This year on April 10th, 2013 marked my first year in attendance of Kinetic Expressions which was put on by Berea College’s own Artist in Modern Motion. Upon arriving at the show, my expectation was limitless because a few of my fellow classmates were performing that night. I watch these dancers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and knew of the charisma and uniqueness my classmates always brought to the dance floor. I couldn’t imagine what the energy level was going to be like in an actual live performance. There were many performances that I enjoyed and they ranged from different types of dancing to the expressions they portrayed.
They wore unitards so every inch of a dancer’s line is celebrated. Although some had random jewels on it that I thought did not fit the piece, the unitards definitely enhanced the ideas and themes of the dance. She also had dresses for girls and pants and shirts for guys in some pieces. In Nancy’s solo J, she was wearing a costume that had pants with very high slits, which showed off the lines of her legs. I find it interesting how O’Donnell used the unitards to detach a dancer of his or her gender to make all the dancers interchangeable.
When the audience heard this they were in an uproar. Now the word sh*t does not have the same effect on people because that word is used all the time. The production successfully shocks the audience in the first moments of the play in a similar method. One interesting concept used in the show was double casting, or triple casting in some cases. Jerry Campisi for example played the part of both Pa and Ma Ubu and also Captain M’Nure, a bloodthirsty general.
I didn’t handle pressure well as a child, therefore I didn’t continue dancing. Now I regret not continuing because baile folklorico is a beautiful dance full of tradition and
In conclusion, breaking a social norm is awkward and, for the most part, embarrassing, but arousing at the same time. However, I was able to experience some of same feelings men experience while asking a girl for a dance, and I just might ask repeat this experiment for fun next
Fall 2012 Choreographers’ Showcase I had the pleasure to attend the Fall 2012 Choreographers’ Showcase presented by Austin Community Colleges’ Dance Department. The location of the performance was at the Rio Grande auditorium on Friday, December 7. I am going to discuss the three dances that stood out to me, which are “Missing”, “Falling, Catching”, and “The Catcher”. The dance titled “Missing” is a contemporary piece choreographed by Roman Morgan. The music is an instrumental piece by Max Richter, and the costumes were black and red all different styles but with corresponding fabric.
When I was dancing in a studio I would always rush my mom to take me there so that I could as soon as possible. I only got through one and a half years of dance before I had to quit because my mother could not afford it. My first performance ever I froze in front of everyone but ever since then I always try to practice in front of my family so I can overcome my stage fright. My first year in high school I signed up for dance one but I unfortunately did not get in so I joined dance club and I absolutely loved it. Dane club and my family has really made me a better dancer really mad me a better dancer.
