    Gcse 100 Assignment

    The six female dancers sit on the ground separately, spread out in three different columns, and begin to feel their bodies gently as they clasp their hands on their chest, neck, and back. They warmly embrace their individual bodies as if assuring themselves that they have beautiful womanly bodies. Next, the six female dancers twist their bodies quickly to the side and stand on their feet as they raise their upper bodies to a straight position followed by their extended arms slowly rising above their heads. The effect of the women being naked with their limbs spread apart widely dramatically helps the audience understand the true beauty of the female body. The female dancers proceed to rub their breasts with both hands as they glide their fingertips and arms across the top and bottom of their breasts in opposite directions. The lighting of the set is focused on the frontal side of all the female dancers in an effort to focus the audiences eyes on the women's bodies. The technique of a stagnant body position, as the dancers are nude, allows the audience to focus on the upper bodies of the female dancers which helps to express and celebrate the true beauty and elegance of the female…

    Comparing Tayo's Ceremony And Night Swan

    Ceremony novel is full of emotions from the beginning to the end. It started with the trauma of Tayo when he thought he was shooting crowd of Japanese soldiers, in which his uncle Josiah was among. This novel portrayed the fearful feeling people show to change. For instance, the Night Swan showed a level of prejudice when she described some interracial relationships as “fools”. Also, this expression reveal the ignorance of the community toward mixed ethnic group. The lack of appreciation toward earth was expected to improve in the white community and increase within the Native Americans community. Tayo learned how to return the love and kindness that earth shows to us by providing rains, animals, and plants. Tayo example of respecting and loving…

    I learned man things about the dance ballet for example they alone more men in ballet the I expected and they wear make-up also. They are many structured techniques that go in the dance of ballet. They are also different ways that performers get ready to perform some stretched or some even jump rope. They were many threats that the dancers did too keep the blood flowing. Ballet also takes a lot of coordination and balance. All through the movie there were many times balance was needed.

    Bouncers Evaluation

    I feel that the main message in the performance was how women in a clubbing society have changed in these modern times, the message is shown from a male point of view. The theme wasn’t discussed with any of the characters other than the four bouncers, in particular Lucky Eric, who would focus on the subject in his monologues. I think Godber used the play to show that young girls are misguided by looking for sex, when they go out clubbing. When delivering this message, the characters would look at the audience and make gestures at them. Secondly I feel that there was another smaller message too, and that was how bouncers don’t get the credit they need and the certain drawbacks to the job.…

    The Car Man Play Analysis

    The dance drama told a story of passion and betrayal as their body language and facial expressions with use of a smirk on someone face or a look created a clear image making each scene more and more interesting to watch. The set Matthew Bourne used in dance drama was effective and clever it works and tells a clear story of what's going on between characters. The table seems to be quite an important prop in this scene as it helps to tell the story showing how Lana works at the diner kneading dough on the table wearing apron. The table is also being used in other levels on stage as the lifts and body contact between Luca and Lana are done over and on top the table. The music and lighting are extremely important during this scene. The duet shows the change in focus of lighting and the elevating highs and lows in the sound of music in the atmosphere evolving around Luca and Lana exaggerated movements on and off center stage leading up to their passionate love affair. The costumes also worked with in the duet. Lana's wearing a loose and flirty dress that works in this scene allowing Luca to pull her dress up at times to perform the lifts and turns. "The Car Man," was definitely worth seeing, the duet captured the connection between the two creating an erotic and dramatic dance thriller full of suspense. To be honest, I'd never heard of "The Car Man" before, but I'm glad I had the chance to…

    Charles Mee Big Love Analysis

    The action from scene to scene to scene was very well rehearsed. In the chapter on action from Costantin Stanislavski An Actor Prepares, it is states that ‘all action within the theatre must have an inner justification, be coherent, logical, and real’ (Stanislavski 46). I truly believed that child-like wonder was at work regarding interaction in performances by Carolyn Coppedge, Nazli Sarpkaya, Stephanie King, and company. I believe these acting mechanisms were effective in communication underlined messages: having freedom of choice in one’s life, wanting love, desire, and so forth. They briefly reminded me of free form exercises done in class where we reacted to invisible mediums that were of meaning. As for costumes, the dresses didn’t exactly provide the impression of escaped brides; I felt that King as Thyona made the most of her character and was free of any boundaries they may have presented; I was able to see her as more than a runaway bride. The art of if is something I postulate as having been necessary to so robustly support a character of Thyona’s standing. Stanislavski writes that when posed with a situation within given circumstance, one must answer to its call whole-heartedly; an actor is overall persuaded to fulfill the demands of an if (Stanislavski 46-48). King definitely answered this call, and in doing so, was one of two actors that caught the most attention. The other was Richard McDonald as Constantine; McDonald’s vibrant energy paralleled King’s in deliverance of role. To once again refer to the super objective, the inner grasp and through line of action are essential to the creative process involved in reaching said objective (Stanislavski 279). McDonald’s undertone in Constantine’s monologue regarding the nature and poor predisposition of man supplemented Thyona’s attitude and conceptions regarding the same nature. McDonald’s ‘through line’ succumbed to no tendency in reaching the…

    7 Stages Of Grieving Play Analysis

    The first group, We’re not fighting, we’re grieving (WNFWG) used many elements of drama to enhance their performance. Their first piece, Photography Stories was based around family connection and how life is so easily forgotten when the photos that once hang proudly on the wall get put away to make space for others. How memories get lost once a person is decease. I felt that the group did an amazing job at conveying the emotions throughout this piece. The photographs became a symbol of loss and death. Every time one was put in the suitcases, the audience watched a connection with family being broken because we had just watched the their characters story. While observing the characters life; being born and growing up the audience form a connection because their can relate. The group…

    Dance Choreography

    Although most scholars simply define it as the art of designing and arranging dance, American ballet icon George Balanchine distinguished dance choreography as “an expression of time and space, using the control of movement and gesture to communicate,” (Anderson 5). This definition puts emphasis on the rigid structure and body control required to successfully produce a piece of choreography, an idea not uncommon in the ballet community (Conoley-Paladino). Like Balanchine, modern dance icon Merce Cunningham defined dance choreography as “an art in space and time.” However, in contrast, he stated that “the object of the dancer is to obliterate” that art, drawing on the importance of…

    Boal's Theater of the Oppressed

    During class we used image theatre as an exercise and as a starting to our assessment performance. Image theatre gives the audience the capture of emotions through pictures not a performance. Boal used this technique as he believed “that the body is the first and primary method of expression “he also said image theatre was mainly used for the expression of oppression. Through the image theatre, we used it an introduction to the performances, like an overview of what was going to happen. This gave the audience time to take in the emotions that were going to be the most powerful throughout the performance, for example the performance of the Jews (me, Carly, Kim, Jess and Jarrod). S and Jarrod) showed the strong moments of oppression, family’s will to stay together and the power of death. Image theatre is more about the feeling and expression that is being shown then the story being told. The emotion that the actors can show through image theatre gives the audience something to think about or act upon as they have no influence from the actors, just there expressions.…

    Richard Schechner's Performance Theory

    Discuss ways in which Richard Schechner's 'Performance Theory' may be of use to contemporary practitioners. Illustrate your answer with reference to at least one dance or theatre performance which you have seen 'live'. The influence of Richard Schechner(b. 1934) on both theatre production and academic theory has been profound and,in some ways, revolutionary. Schechner has consistently challenged traditionalpractices and perspectives of theatre, performance and ritual for almost half acentury. His principal contention is that drama is not merely a province of thestage, but of everyday life, and is a cross-cultural phenomenon. 'It isimportant to develop and articulate theories concerning how performances aregenerated, transmitted, received and evaluatedIn pursuit of these goals,performance studies is insistently intercultural, inter-generic andinter-disciplinary'. (Schechner, 1995) As with all academicstudies, performance theory is founded on certain key principles, which includesuch terms as 'presentation of self', 'restored behaviour' 1 and'expressive culture', and incorporates social drama and ritual. His concept ofperformance, which contrasts sharply with previous, principally modernist,approaches to the arts, asserts the importance of different 'systems oftransformations', which vary enormously from culture to culture, and throughouthistorical periods and movements. The radical nature of performancetheory is demonstrated by its all-encompassing, even holistic, approach totheatre and performance, with popular culture, folklore, and ethnic diversityincorporated into the cross-disciplinary mix. In examining the ways in whichthe theory can be useful to theatre practitioners, it is important to examinein more detail the main strategies it deploys, including the concept of'performativity'. The word 'performative' was originatedby J.L Austin, a linguistic philosopher, who coined the term for the first timeduring lectures at Harvard University in 1955. Expressions such…

    The events of a play; the story as opposed to the theme; what happens rather than what it means. The plot must have some sort of unity and clarity by setting up a pattern by which each action initiating the next rather than standing alone without connection to what came before it or what follows. In the plot of a play, characters are involved in conflict that has a pattern of movement. The action and movement in the play begins from the initial entanglement, through rising action, climax, and falling action to resolution.…
