Flora And The Flamingo Summary

“Twyla Tharp's work fused classical discipline and rigor with avant-garde iconoclasm, combining ballet technique with natural movements like running, walking and skipping. While modern dance had historically aspired to high seriousness and spirituality, Tharp's work was edgy.” Tharp expanded the boundaries of contemporary performance and modern dance through her over exaggerated and unpredictable movements danced to pop, classical music, or silence. With the influential power she had in the world of modern dance, Twyla Tharp was able to create “Aquarius” to express the way she felt about the period of constant war that she was living through. “No one could tolerate me, so I had to do my own work" , as an active and bold choreographer for her time, Tharp had no fear in giving her opinion through her art and her contribution to building up the countries dance culture made her a top choice of one to relay a message of the current issues in 1970 American society.

In their play, Bottom wants to play all of the parts. The lion, moonlight, Pyramus, and Thisbe. His friends finally tell her to only play Pyramus, lover to Thisbe, in their upcoming play.

Also in both stories, Cinderella still fits into the slipper and the step-sister are caught for trying to be Cinderella. However in the Disney’s Cinderella everyone lives happily ever after. In contrast, in Grimm’s Cinderella the step-sisters do not live happily ever after instead they are blinded by the birds pecking their eyes out. Another difference between the two stories is in Disney’s Cinderella the two step-sisters try to put their feet into the slipper, but it was obvious that they were both too big, then Cinderella tried it one and it fit just right. However in Grimm’s Cinderella the two step-sisters cut their heels and toes to fit into the slipper.

In the sixth chapter of the great Gatsby, Daisy, Nick, and Tom both go to one of Jay Gatsby’s parties. There, she danced with Gatsby and sat at tables with Nick when Gatsby had to take a phone call. Even though Daisy attended Gatsby’s party, “‘she didn’t have a good time’” (page 109). Gatsby expected Daisy to enjoy herself but got proven wrong, this represents situational irony, F. Scott Fitzgerald utilizes this form of irony to portray how Daisy requires some form of material object for her to feel happy, as shown in this chapter, she had the only option to socialize, which “She saw something awful in the very simplicity she failed to understand” (page 107).

Mambo Girl (1957), a movie musical, follows Kailing, a talented young woman widely admired for her singing and dancing capabilities, as she searches for acceptance after learning the truth about her background. Shall We Dansu? (1996) follows Mr. Sugiyama, a Japanese accountant who goes on a secretive and intimate journey into the world of ballroom dance. Both Mambo Girl and Shall We Dansu? emphasize the close relationship between intimacy and Latin dance by linking Kailing and Mr. Sugiyama’s manners of dancing Latin to the emotional connection each has with other characters.

From the beginning, I will express the first emotion, curiosity, through the ‘Minsok Chum’. Since the ‘Minsok Chum’ is an upbeat dance it will matches the emotion the most than any other dance forms. The middle part of the dance will focus on expressing the journey of picture bride utilizing Taiji and Zen dance movements that are slow. When I describe the journey, the Zen dance walk will be a useful base movement to express picture bride’s physical movement from Korea to Hawaii. I will utilize Taiji because it is slow form of dance which will be useful for the expression of picture bride experience of long distance journey and deep concern to uncertain future.

Equivocating: The text defines this as the third approach. This is when you don’t want totell an unpleasant truth, or lie rather than not telling the whole truth or lying. An exampleof this is when Hanna was entering into a talent show to try and get some money for herand her mom. During the scene the dance instructor that was helping Hanna knew shewasn’t a good dancer. This is when she saw Emily dancing and tried having Emily giveHanna pointers on her dancing.

The way in which the two lovers meet one another is very similar. In Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers meet at a party held by Juliet's parents (Note that Tony and Maria’s parents are not mentioned in WSS). In Westside Story, Tony and Maria meet at a party, but fall in love when they start dancing together. Both stories tell of a feud between two groups. Capulets vs Montagues in R&J, and Sharks vs Jets in WSS.

The spectacle left me hanging my jaw, trying to comprehend what just happened. The songs and dances were particularly enjoyable and touching. The characters were relatable, and the message was an important one. My only critique would be that their choice to make Cinderella choose her destiny by leaving her shoe with the Prince, made the plot very predictable and unexciting near the end. When the Prince finds the girl whom the shoe fits it is meant to be a wonderful touching moment, however I was simply left wondering why she couldn’t have revealed her identity at her second meeting with the Prince.

She even received the honor of being the lead in her dance recital. From this information you can gather that Angel found dance to cope with the pain. Courage often describes a hero, but in this case it describes Angel. For example, she told her mom the truth about Jordan and testified against him. This was actually difficult for Angel because she lived in fear of Jordan and what he would do if she

I do have an Alice band in my hair occasionally, 2. my adversary in school debates is affectionately known as “Atheistic Alice”, she is actually very nice and very funny at times, we are only advisories when we are debating against each other, we often do each other’s hair, even borrow each other’s clothes, once she finds out I’m on here she will turn up to make sure I have the hardest time possible lol.

" Expressing oneself was a very important part to most participating in the 1920’s era. Most individuals enjoyed syncopated music with African American influences.

Bill T. Jones’s Still/ Here is about the human feelings and they are expressed through high formal structures. I think this choreography is abstract and it focuses on the gestures that Jones’s is dancing to. One of the examples is when one of the dancers strikes up and uses a “game-playing” technique in the workshops.

When it comes to success, people have their own definitions. Some people may define success as having a job that suits them and by the joy they feel when they are in and out of work. Others may define success as having a surfeit amount of money without the need to be happy at their work. In the book, outliers, Malcolm Gladwell defines success based on the careers of the well-known and rich people and he mentions that they have achieved success because they are the best at what they do. Gladwell also believes that anyone is capable of achieving success if they work hard enough and that the people who are mega-successful such as Bill Gates or Michael Jackson got where they were because of thing such as their geographic locations, their specific college experiences, the opportunities that they were presented with in high school, or even the month that they were born in.
