Concert dance Essays

Dance brings all different types of people together and connects them for a single occasion. Some will go see dance as a form of entertainment and others to view it as an art; and it is often disputed as to whether a dance is created to suite one of these personalities specifically. As shared in the talk back for BYU Dance in Concert, an entertainment dance is viewed as “spectacular and dazzling” where as an artistic dance is expressed though an “emotional idea” and requires “deeper thinking”. This

Winter Dance Concert Run Crew Working on the run crew for the winter dance concert was a fascinating experience that proved to be both informative and entertaining. My primary role was to be Jim’s eyes and ears backstage, facilitating communication between him and the dancers and occasionally providing status updates. Over the course of the rehearsal period, I acquired a few additional responsibilities, including adjusting the shutters for a pair of lights before the first piece each night and then

Falling into dance was a hypnotizing performance that enthralled its audience and stood to make a point. The point that this was not an average high school performance. Within the first act alone, it had sent me through a range of emotions and understandings. I understood love from Audrey and Prudencio and I understood death from Layla and Lindsey. The performance in its entirety left me in awe. By the first half of act 1, I was sold on the dancer 's professionalism and obvious commitment.

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.

watched the USC student dance company Xpressions. This dance company is a contemporary dance company that is entirely comprised of USC students. The show was choreographed by students as well. The show that I saw was their end of the semester fall showcase. I assume that this was show a culmination of work that the company worked on for the entire semester. This show was comprised of several different dances that were not really connected to tell a story. They were dances that went along to the music

The Spring Concert set stage in Barnett Theater. It showcased 12 distinctive pieces from Ohio State dancers. None of the pieces were coherent with each other, but were each uniquely intriguing on their own. Among all the dances, specifically three stood out to me. Those dances were: Worn To Shards Of My Own Accord by Josh Anderson, I am, and I’m by Anna Vomacka, and Wind and Water by Madeline Mazzola. Worn To Shards of My Own Accord was a solo piece performed by Anthony Milian. The set-up consisted

For my second concert report, I went to see South Alabama’s Flute Choir and Celtic Crue perform in the Spring Concert. The USA Flute Choir performed a total of six pieces and the Celtic Crue performed four short pieces of Irish tradition. The concert was on Thursday March 30, 2017 at 7:30 pm in the Laidlaw Recital Hall. The first piece was A Gaelic Offering by Catherine McMichael and consisted of two movements. This piece was a flute quartet in the first movement, but in the second movement one

A Dragon Dance was performed next, the dance illustrated that it a man was battling a dragon. The man had a stick and was doing amazing cartwheels using the stick, while the dragon was twisting and turning to follow him. Next was ladies in hoods danced a elegant, light , and folksy jig. There was an energetic, sharp, fast, Russian River Jig performed next. This dance involved a lot of kick with outward stretched legs and arm movements. A dance that involved large, puff dresses

were three sections where people can sit which in the left side has barely anyone sitting, in the middle section it was full, and in the right section there are half as many people in the middle section. I can see that most people that came to the concert are in their 20’s to 30’s, which there were no old people or teenagers. You can hear echo’s when people are talking in the auditorium. The audience became silence as the lights were shut off dark. Soon there was a light shining

Saturday, May 9, 2015 I attended a concert featuring my favorite R&B artist by the name of Ginuwine. This concert was located at Riverside Theater in downtown Milwaukee. The concert was named One Night Stand and also included two other R&B sensations by the name of Tank and RL who was a member of a group called Next. The concert setting was very intimate. The artist made it a point to connect with their fans and even went as far as getting into the crowds. It was low lit lighting with shades

amazing chance to attend the Chicago Sinfonietta featuring Mucca Pazza concert on September 22, 2014. The concert consisted of the Chicago Sinfonietta and Mucca Pazza. This concert is one of the first concerts that I have been to that I will never forget, as it was very unique to say the least. The concert started off with a few selections from the Chicago Sinfonietta. They played English Folk Song Suite by Vaughan Williams, Dance in the Canebrakes by Florence Price and Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra

For this, my second concert assignment, I attended Austin Civic Orchestra’s “One of Our Own” on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at the Lake Travis Performing Arts Center. Being that the performance was to be held at a high school campus, I was expecting for the theater to look somewhat like a converted gym, but as I walked, in I was blown away by just how beautiful it was. While I waited for the concert to begin I read through the program, and being the concert novice that I am, saw only four pieces

The live concert I attended was the Faculty Recital Prince George’s Community College Division of Humanities, English, and Social studies Presents The Music Of Ella Fitzgerald. The concert occurred on Wednesday, April 25, 2018, in the Marlboro Art Gallery at 1:00 pm. The concert consisted of vocal and instrumental music and was a Jazz chamber recital.

Kelsey Yakou Music December 8, 2017 Concert Report The concert I decided to write about was held in San Diego during the Gay Pride Parade on July 15, 2017. It was called the “Pride Music Festival” where patrons were able to enjoy multiple groups, of a similar genre, at a venue in beautiful and classic Balboa Park. Some of the performers were as follows: En Vogue, Salt n Peppa, Tinashe, Estelle, Cakes da Killa, Kodie Shane, Jessica 6 and Cazwell. The musical collaboration was similar in techniques

Saturday October 12 at The Valley Performing Arts Center in Cal State Northridge I attended my first concert. The band performing was The Fab Faux they are a Beatles tribute band. At the concert they performed The Beatles Hollywood and Dodger Stadium Concerts. The band is made up of five members compared to The Beatles which was only four members. The five members are Will Lee, Jimmy Vivino, Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, and Jack Petrozzelli. Will Lee founded the group he is also the bassist for the

the ukuleles while singing along but it was much more than that. It is not surprising for one to think that one might get bored at a two-hour long orchestra, but during the whole performance I was at the edge of my seat just wanting to get up and dance. The band was very audience focused and kept everyone engaged throughout with their jokes, songs, and act. The lyrics of the songs they sang were fun and impressive. They sang compositions from different countries and across different genres; two of

For the second concert report, I went to go see the Paul Di Blasi Band at the Culver City Hotel. This was actually the second time I had attended this venue, it was decorated similarity to last time. The venue was very vintage in terms of its decor, it truly had an old school feel, it made you fee like you were in the 1920s. The hotel was dimly lit, and had a jazzy and supper club atmosphere. Almost everyone was dressed up but also casual, and the music was perfect for this setting. From the moment

On October 19, 2017, I attended the Thursday, 8:00 PM Fall Band Concert. The Neuqua Valley Music Department presented the Wind Symphony, the Wind Ensemble, and the Wind Orchestra. One of the most impactful elements of the performances was the ability of the composer and the performers to express a message to the audience through the music itself. This concept was most prominent in Irish Tune From County Derry by Percy Aldridge Grainger. The title page of the music had the inscription, “Lovingly

One social issue that we've discussed that applied to this concert was racism. A lot of people stereotype Native Americans and imagine something very different from reality. If we were to be open minded and actually get to know more about Native American culture, people would be surprised at what they discover, as
