Comparison Of Apollo And Walking Mad

338 Words2 Pages

The two pieces I saw performed by Charlotte Ballet were, Apollo and Walking Mad. I enjoyed both pieces and enjoyed watching the excellent technical abilities of the dancers, especially the point technique. What I enjoyed about Apollo was that the style was traditional ballet with some flare to it. What I mean by flare is they would flex their hands and feet and add sharp accents to their movement. What I also enjoyed about this piece was how each goddess performed a solo section. I liked being able to focus in on each dancer’s technical ability without feeling like I was missing out on something else in the piece. What I did not understand in this piece was the story that went along with the piece. I was unsure about what each of the goddesses

    After facing their attention up to the sky, as though praising the lord, they take a few steps forward and the next segment begins. The piece is made up of seven dancers, three females and four males, who are near the water one knee kneeling on the sand. Their movements are more fast paced moving from low level to middle level and crouching down to low level when the lyrics say “down in the river to pray”. The choreography and lyrics from the song move in unison, when the lyrics mention sisters the three females appear and when it mentions brothers the focus shifts to the four male dancers. The environment changes a couple of times and thus the viewer is transported from being inside the water out to the shore and then a field of grains where all the dancers perform together.

    Those performing are conscience of the audience, which I believe implicates this performance but also allows them to confront their performative self with their indulgent one. There is an evident line between the aspect of performance in the piece and her attempt to dismantle our boundaries so that we are nothing but primal creatures. This performance in play addresses this area that still needs to be explored, we never get the chance to see semi-naked adults playing and just having fun without it being

A couplet comes after this quatrain and is followed by a quintet. The lines within the quintet include names like “Eve”, who serves as a biblical allusion, and Cleopatra, who serves as a historical allusion. Hughes purposely juxtaposes the “dancing girl” in the quatrain with two prominent women figures to illustrate the transformative effects of jazz.

The excitement picked when the piece was really scattered for a while, and then all of a sudden the orchestra got loud. The brass and percussion, overpowered every other intrusement and held the same note for a few second. The second movement brought a sense of balance to the overall piece.

    First of all, the piece is quite interesting as a prelude – an introductory piece of music as it start off with dynamic and vibrant sounds that include the whole ensemble. This piece is structured as a three-part or ternary form which consists of ABA’ form. The idea of this piece is mainly act as an introductory of a story because this piece is only an excerpt from a bigger orchestral performance. From what I have heard, the solo performance is mainly comprise of the woodwind instruments in part B that indicated the slight sign of relief and calmness. The piece has a lot of variation where the composer include different timbres and dynamics such as the high dynamic structure during the first and the last part with the associating crashes of cymbals.
