The Little Mermaid, Directed By Scottie Woodard
The Little Mermaid Performance Review November 29th 2:30pm
The Little Mermaid, directed by Scottie Woodard depicts the heroes journey of Ariel the play's protagonist. The play is an adaptation of Disney’s movie The Little Mermaid and depicts an underwater microcosm. While this play’s target audience is children, the high quality of production makes it engaging for any audience. Elements of production such as set design, costumes, and song bring the depiction of Ariel’s journey to fruition.
In Act I the audience is initially introduced to Prince Eric and his crew as they along with Ariel watch them sail across the water. With the use of a projection the backdrop and scene is quickly changed from the surface of the water to completely submerged

    Pre-Lab: Analgesic drugs are known for reducing pain, while antiseptic drugs reduce symptoms such as fevers and swelling. However, some of these drugs can reduce both illnesses. To obtain a pure compound in these drugs, the scientist needs to separate the desired compound by taking advantage of the different physical and chemical properties. Such as; different boiling points, melting points and their solubility properties. To do this a chemist can also asses the differences between acidic and basic substances when they are added to water soluble mixtures. Within this current experiment I will asses the pharmaceutical preparation of Panacetin, by using it 's solubility along with other organic molecules. We know that Panacetin is made up of sucrose, aspirin and some other unknown substance. We know the substance has to be Phenacetin or Acetanilide. To help solidify our reasoning, we need a % recovery of 8-12% sucrose, 35-45% aspirin and 45-55% unknown.…

    This fairytale of the Little Mermaid you chose seems very interesting they way you described it. I do see that the Little Mermaid is an archetype for innocent and the Prince is seen as an archetype for hero. This movie does seem to be the archetype for star crossed lovers because they both come more different worlds and have things that stand in there way for a happy ending. Does the movie explain this different place and time where they could be together? Could the sea witch also be an archetype for the villain as well?…

    Toy Story is a classic children’s film that really teaches kids life lessons. Who would have thought a Disney Pixar movie about living toys would relate to our everyday lives and god’s Beatitudes. Young children watch movies with hidden messages, that they will need to understand and fulfil later in life. The characters in this movie all show the basics of the Beatitudes and how to achieve them.…

    that there are many forms of adaptions and different directors or producers will have their own unique perspective on it. Hutcheon explains that,“They use the same tools that storytellers have always used; they actualize or concretize ideas; they make simplifying selections, but also amplify and extrapolate, they make analogies; they critique or show their respect, and so on” (Hutcheon 3). Hutcheon then goes on to use The Little Mermaid as an example. The Little Mermaid was adapted into a musical, however the musical not only told the story but also changed certain…

    My experience for this production wasn’t what I expected. There were less talking and more action involved to express the character’s feeling. There were many ideas that were a good experience in this play, for instance the uses of the colors, the identical movements, and facial…

    The director Peter Vann did a wounderful job in directing the play. He made sure that it felt as if the characters were actually children instead of adults. They played it well putting their self in a childs place. Each character acted out their lines perfectly. If any mistakes were made I didn't notice. Their tone and body language went well with their emotins and expressions that they had to act out. Having a little knowledge about Junie B, I would have never expected for her to buy May a gift or for them to get a long in the play. Brooke Bryant did a great interpetation of Junie B. Her voiced matched her personality of a snooty, selfish girl that thinks she knows it all. I think that Brooke Bryant and Cori Laemmel held their chacter of the girls very well. There were parts of the play whene they had to do or say funny things and they did it without laughing and remained in character. Brooke Bryant broke the forth wall in a scene where she was in the spot light talking to her self. But I think that it was part of the play for her to do that. Maybe to get the audience involved or just to make contact with the children to…

    One would believe that a movie based on a storybook would have the same plot. In comparing and contrasting the movie Tangled to the short story “Rapunzel”, one can find many differences and very few similarities. Tangled was developed by Disney and has grossed 590 million dollars in the first year; however, “Rapunzel” is only a folk tale handed down through the years until it was finally written down in the 1800s. This is only the beginning of the differences. Looking closely at the plots, one can definitely see there is a difference in the two.…

    In Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” we witness that there is not an actual Heaven for the mermaid but a sub-heaven that is a reflection of Heaven. It goes to say that in “The Girl Who Stepped on Bread” also by Andersen, there is a sub-hell (not actual Hell), where she stands in the form of a statue in the entrance hall. Both these place are not where the characters expected to be, yet one scarified herself ending up in a sub-heaven and the other will suffer in the entrance hall of hell for using bread as a way to get over water.…

    Director Nicholas Hytner has dragged Shakespeare's renaissance tragedy into the 21st Century with a contemporary, gritty setting, while still maintaining a rigorous attention to clarity of language. Venice in the opening scenes is a non-descript place and it is only with the departure to Cyprus that the military aesthetic of the production comes to full fruition. Most of the action takes place in the middle of the night, under disorientating arc lights or inside sterile pre-fab army command buildings. Helicopters whir overhead. The sets slide and advance like tanks. Shadowy and devoid of bright colours, the production helped to focus attention on the tense drama that unfolded on stage, and made Shakespeare seem fresh and accessible.…
