Personal Narrative: My Gift Of Dancing

1006 Words5 Pages

When I was about 12 years old, I learned that I have the gift of dancing. Ever since I was aware of my talent, I have been showcasing my dancing skills to any audience I can. At this stage in my life, I was dancing backup for young singer. At the age of fifteen, I received a call from our manager. This call was asking us to come to New York and perform. This is not just any ordinary performance, this is a booking to open for a group that I grew up listening to. After letting the exciting news sink in, we started practicing. It is now time to pack my bags and get ready to travel. Bags are now packed, and the black Mercedes van is full of luggage. We drive to Quick trip and get gas before heading to Chick-fil-a. At Chick-fil-a I get my usual order, a delicious 12 count of golden fried chicken nuggets, a medium waffle fry, a thirst quenching hand squeezed lemonade, and you cannot forget the rich …show more content…

It is our turn to go on stage and get the crowd ready to see Mindless Behavior execute their performance. The lovely MC of the day walks on stage to introduce us. The crowd is now electrified to see us recite the choreography we worked on during our long, restless, sweaty rehearsals. We walk on stage and the crowd is very welcoming to a group that they have never seen before. The music starts, and it is now show time. The audience is so engaged. They are learning the words and dancing with us. The crowd and my adrenaline are out of the sky. I enjoy showcasing my talents to people and having fun while doing it. The young spectators are even more psyched up to see Mindless Behavior. After walking off the big red oak wooden platform I go to the back to gather my belongings. I walk out to the side of the stage to watch Mindless Behavior entertain their fans. These boys are invigorating the stage. The show is now over and the once brimming venue is now vacant. All the fans are following the cars of the performers and taking pictures and

  • Concert Review Of Virtual Dance Concert By Alvin Ailey

    Virtual Dance Concert/Performance Attendance Paper Hanna Garber DANC 206-094 Revelations choreographer Alvin Ailey draws inspiration from his childhood growing up in rural Texas as a member of the Baptist Church. The piece uses African-American spirituals, song sermons, gospel songs, and holy blues to elevate a story showing the struggles faced by African-Americans in the south in the 1930s. Approximately 23 million people have experienced Revelations since its birth in 1960. While experiencing this piece for the first time, I kept in mind the three elements of criticism; description, analysis, and evaluation. This performance included mainly African-American ballet dancers on a stage for a live audience in 2016.

    On Sept. 1st, students from different corners of campus were all sprinting towards one common location: Ridgewood. It was, once again, that time of the year when Brandeis University’s four improvisational comedy groups perform for an audience of returning students and new first-year students in the annual Improv Comedy Showcase; a showcase that serves as a tidbit for first-year students of what the university has to offer. This year the show commenced with False Advertising, and it was followed on to Crowd Control, TBA and Bad Grammer, each group generally performed a series of long-form skits and short-form games that allowed them to demonstrate their compelling comic prowess. In addition, the performers were able to get everyone gleefully involved and engaged, often asking the audience for ingenious and witty ideas for them to use in the skits—although as the evening progressed, the air filled completely with wondrous ideas from

    Upstage is back, downstage is front, right is left, left is right, out is up, break a leg but don't really, wings have nothing to do with birds, the catwalk doesn’t involve cats, and when the stage manager says move it means move. The theatre vocabulary is very confusing for the outside world, but for me it is my second language. More specifically, I have developed a passion for the technical elements of theatre over the years. The joy of being the “people in black” that can make amazing sets and produce incredible plays which goes unnoticed.. Although this discourse is much small yet complex it has helped me find out who I am but also in my academic skills through learning how to work in teams, solve problems independently but also how to be

  • Deadly Theatre In Peter Brook's The Empty Space

    1117 Words  | 5 Pages

    Unfortunately, as stated by Peter Brook, Deadly theatre is recognized as the most common and seen type of theatre, also known as “bad theatre”. This means is that this type of theatre is identified from performances perpetuated to be dull, boring, traditional, consumeristic and conventional. Hence, as Brook states, one of the reasons why this type of theatre still remains is due to the deadly spectators who enjoy watching a performance with lack of intensity and entertainment. Likewise, other individuals have the tendency to associate culture and tradition with historical costumes and the sensation of being bored. Therefore, the right amount of boringness can create the illusion that the play was worthwhile to see (Brook,
