Cirque Du Soleil Rhetorical Analysis

Zumanity by Cirque Du Soleil and Edtaonisl

Zumanity by Cirque Du Soleil was a comical, acrobatic performance I was able to see in Los Vegas. The painting “Edtaonisl” is an abstract painting by Francis Picabia held at the Art Institute in Chicago. I felt that this painting did a very good job on symbolizing the performance done by Cirque Du Soleil. The “Zumanity” performance was assigned seating. You had to order your tickets online and the website told you what seat and section you were assigned to sit in. The seating wrapped around the stage for the audience to be able to see the play from where ever they were seated. I sat in the upper orchestra and loved the seating. In these seats you were up looking slightly down to the stage and I was …show more content…

One of the games included dancing with two audience members copping two flirtatious cast members trying to get the two strangers to flirt with each other. The painting “Edtaonisl” is a colorful abstract painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. This painting is made up of swirls and paint without a pattern. It was a very lovely painting to see in person. It was not much bigger then the works surrounding it. The Art Institute of Chicago was a very quiet and professional place. You had to maintain a whisper when you were talking to the people around you also having to wear any bags you had on your front side. The painting and the performance differ from each other for some very obvious reasons. One is a painting and the other is a performance. During the performance you were encouraged to laugh and engage in the play that is a huge difference from having to be quiet at the art institute. Another is the performance was the art of using human bodies to do tricks and the painting was oil on canvas making no set

    A few weeks ago I went to the showing of a piece titled Braided Sorrow at the University of San Francisco Lone Mountain Theater. Braided Sorrow is a performance written by Marisela Orta, was directed by Roberto Varea and was presented by the USF Performing Arts Department. When I arrived to the performance the first thing that I noticed was the set up of the stage. It looked very different from usual. This past spring semester I was in a class taught by Professor Varea (The director of the play) and throughout the semester we were required to go to a number of performances.

    The painting that I chose to analyze was William Maw Egley’s Omnibus Life in London (1859). Painted on an oil medium, it depicts a scene of an omnibus, a horse-drawn carriage that acted as public transportation, pulled over at a certain stop along a particular route (Tate). In the painting, it features a crowded bus as more people attempt to board it. There are various people from every type of social class, which will be examined during the contextual analysis section to interpret the meaning historically. Also, this paper will analyze the formal structure of the painting through color, lines, space and mass, and composition.

    Speeches are used to commemorate points of history, and inform the general public of the product of their history but what makes a speech so impacting on it’s audience? Rhetorical devices give speeches and works of literature a way that can convey feelings or ideas to a viewer. When addressing during times of war or chaos, people such as Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill used these terms to better connect with their audience. Without these tools of the english language, dialogue and literature would be all the more dull and unappealing. However, with these useful instruments, writers and speakers can better communicate through some of the many rhetorical devices.

    Limón Dance Company; Excerpts and reviews Walking into the concert on Saturday March 25, 2017, I was unprepared and unaware of what the Limón company stood for and what stood in their repertory. Learning quickly that they were founded in the later 1940’s, I should not have been surprised by the general technique of the company, given that the techniques from that era tend to be fairly similar with the concepts of contractions and fall and release. The first piece we were shown was The Moor’s Pavane, I had decided before the concert that I would read the program after to see how well they portrayed the story, having not known anything about it before hand. Watching it, I was confused on whom was who until the very end when the Moor’s wife died.

  • The Great Debaters Rhetorical Analysis

    334 Words  | 2 Pages

    When arguing for racial equality, James Farmer Jr. quotes St.Augustine, “An unjust law is no law at all.” He claims that just laws are meant to protect all citizens; whereas, unjust laws that discriminate Negroes are not laws to be followed, thus raising awareness of racial discrimination by using emotional and logical appeals. In The Great Debaters, Henry Lowe appeals to the audience’s emotions during a debate about Negro integration into state universities. To challenge his opponent’s claim that the South isn 't ready to integrate Negroes into universities, he affirms that if change wasn’t forcefully brought upon the South, Negroes would “still be in chains,” which is an allusion to slavery. With this point, he is able to raise awareness of

    Along with the colors used, Titian uses these people as a way of also evoking emotions within the observers. Within the background, in the center of the painting is a musician leaning on the trunk of a tree while playing an instrument similar looking to the lute. To the right of this musician there is a group of people to the who seem to be dancing together in a circle. These people expressed in the piece are most likely enjoying themselves and having a good time, in which this act alone would tie back into the emotions by being a means to evoke the emotions alongside the colors used by Titian.

    Prior to this, I have never attended a classical concert. I actually had no clue as to what to expect because I could not find a review for UH concerts. The Jazz Orchestra performed in the Moores Opera House on a stage setting similar to that of my middle school band. The band instruments were tiered on the risers while the other performers were simply beside the risers. There were a few noticeable differences such as, the microphones set in the center for soloists, and a marker hanging from above to mark the center of the stage.
