...Running Head: DEVELOPMENT IN PERFORMING ARTS Dancing Name Professor Institution Course Date Development in Theatre Arts Introduction In the post-modern era, everybody focused on progressing in life in all possible ways and some of the most common ways in which people from Greece progressed were such as through joining the theatre group. According to some authors, modernity is described as the act of pursuing progress through incorporating the principles of hierarchy and rationality into the public and into the artistic life of many people in the society. Performing arts has come a long way and one of the aspects of arts that we are focusing on today is theatre arts. Theatre arts exists in manifold contexts thus there is a tension between studying it at depth and doing it within its wider and immediate contexts. The study of the background history of theatre in Greece goes back to the 21st century since through doing this is when researchers are able to trace the gradual changes that it has undergone. Theatre is done for acting and entertainment enjoyment especially when someone is excited and wants to express their particular state. Theatre can be done to express one’s sentimental feelings.

...The Performing Arts and Inspiration Laura Rubio Arts/100 December 21, 2015 Kristin Hunt The Performing Arts and Inspiration There are many ways that someone can express their thoughts and feelings. There are different ways that this can be done like through theater, painting, dance and music. With these types of art history can be recorded, to make statements, or be done for simple enjoyment. I will discuss two styles of dance. Ballet origins trace back to the Italian Renaissance when it was developed as a court entertainment. It was then developed during the 15th and 16th centuries when it became formalized (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). Ballet is an art of body movement, and it is what could be called a “Classical” or formal dance. The tradition for ballet is rested upon a set of prescribed movements and actions. Ballet is “the reduction of human gestures to bare essentials, which is heightened and developed into meaningful patterns” according to Anatole Chujoy in the dance encyclopedia. It then became a fluid succession of images; it has specialized codes of movement. Ballet also expresses the basic human desires and their experiences (Sporre, 2012). Ballet requires good posture, due to the different form moves that they use in ballet their lines have to be perfect. Their form also has to be perfect or otherwise they could injure themselves. Repetition is important in ballet because they do a lot of movements over and over in the dance. The inspiration for the work...

My mother introduced me to dance both modern and tap, the trumpet and guitar. None of them really spoke to my soul because I did not spend time developing the skill. Due to funding constraints, I could not participate daily. However, I wonder now if I had continued learning would I still be interested today. I wish I had that opportunity. It is believed that exposing young children to the visual and performing arts will help facilitate create and aesthetic thinking. The value of studying the visual and performing arts are unlimited.

...An actor that I look up to massively named Alan Rickman once said “actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theatre, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It could change the world.” I firmly support this statement because I believe performing arts is special. Art in any form has an effect on everybody, whether it be a romantic musical, a beautiful painting, or a touching monologue it tells a story. Actors tell stories through their emotions and make an audience member forget about their everyday life by bringing them to another world in the story they are telling on stage or on the big screen. However, being an actress has always been a dream of mine. In Mark Twain’s “Life on the Mississippi” he shares his struggle with having dreams and ambitions, and in the end he picks...

...Introduction: ARCHITECTURE OF PERFORMING ART EDUCATION: Performing art education centre works for cultural activities and performing art education both formally and informally for both children and adults, the planning of the centre needs to be done with all levels of people in all ages keeping in mind. The purpose of any performing art education school facilities is to create an environment which can provide the teaching and learning process and recreation appropriate for people in all ages. Performing art represents the culture and tradition of the country and nation, therefore the education centre also should represent the culture and the tradition of the country. Besides the classrooms, teachers and administrator’s areas, workshops, stores etc, the physical enclosure itself should also generate an environment favorable for performing art education, recreation and other interactions. The planning, design and construction of the community school should result in an environment which can fulfill the above mentioned purpose. Although the schools of performing art education represent the art and culture of a nation, in different countries the performing art education centers were designed with different concepts , design ideas and technologies to achieve a master piece of art in form and architecture, but in developing countries particularly in Asian subcontinent, the planning and design need should be different.

...Live Theatrical Performance Helen Robinson HUM/103 Intructor Bjorn Mercer March 10, 2013 Abstract This article gives an analysis of a theatre performance Les Miserable directed by Tom Hooper. It analyses on the best aspects of the play that was performed on stage. The play is a musical and an acting performance with the main character being Jean Valean. An analysis of the plot is given and also the sub plots with the characters featured. The performance by Les Miserable is one that has combined the aspects of art and theatre performance in the most professional manner. The director Tom Hooper has used the musical genre in this performance and this makes it the most pleasing aspect of the performance. Not many directors are able to work on such a master piece. The dialogues are not spoken like it happens in other performance, they are sung in beautiful lyrics that are able to arouse the audience emotions more than it would be in a spoken dialogue. The musical aspect runs down and the most enjoyable part is when the character Eponine sings two songs that feature Samantha Barks. The performance is therefore able to capture the audience since not just mere monologues and spoken dialogues among the actors are involved. The audience can view the inner voice of an actor he or she is left all alone on stage. The transition from one scene to the next is carried out in a perfect way that is not too fast creating suspense within the audience...

...Chinese Opera Company Classical Chinese opera has existed for over 250 years, starting about the same time, more or less, as the beginnings of Italian opera. Unlike Italian opera, which is really a sung drama, Chinese opera is a mixture of high-pitched singing, acting, clowning, acrobatics and kung fu, with many unique conventions such as masks, face-painting, minimalist stage setting, and elaborate costumes giving no regard to different dynasties in China’s history. It relies upon the audience’s own imagination and understanding to fill the gaps. Because of the sheer number of Chinese worldwide, naturally commands a much larger audience overseas than at home. Frequently, an evening’s programme would consist of excerpts from different operas with no relation to each other. Given this, The Chinese Opera Company (TCOC)has attempted to combine traditional opera with modern theatrical concepts. Classical Chinese opera was banned in China during Mao’s Cultural Revolution but is now attracting young audiences while satisfying older connoisseurs. The older population sees it as a link to their Chinese Heritage; the youth see it as a statement of China’s acceptance in the word. Expatriates see it as a sign of Chinese culture which separates them from Western Culture. However, with the acceptance of the various cultures in China, it has become clear that Chinese opera exists in many forms depending on the ethnic groups which comprise modern China. Reaching...

...visually, audibly, or in another way that appeals to the senses.For example, when Western religion is the region of the month, the group will decorate the school with accessories, items, or other material that is from the aboriginal culture (since the aboriginal religion is of the western hemisphere). This make-over should include all religions each region includes. Prior to the event, several visual, musical and performing arts classes could be notified of the events. They would then lend their services to making this event possible. The food prep, business, religion, history, construction classes and any student could also volunteer to help assist with the event. Once the volunteer group and the arts classes are chosen, several dates are chosen for these groups to attend and discuss ideas and form a plan. The make-over should typically include: * Decorators: -role: to manually accessorize the school by hanging: decorations, props, etc. -hallways must be covered so the event has maximum effect or “reach” -consists of: volunteers; construction, history, and visual art classes * Constructors: -role: to create or obtain every object to use during the event -large-scale...

Estos tienen como médula de su ofrecimiento el espectáculo. Esta médula deberá ser apoyada por otras actividades o servicios los cuales se consideran servicios enriquecedores o facilitadores (Lovelock, 1992). Dentro de estos servicios en el sector de las artes se pueden delinear algunos muy considerados por las audiencias los cuales serán determinantes para su intención de compra. Por otro lado, el mercado de las artes es muy peculiar en cuanto a su proceso de comercialización ya que este comienza con la creación de la pieza artística, en donde el gestor de mercadeo no tiene poder alguno para modificar ese producto. Por tanto, el mercadeo de servicio en el sector de las artes se orienta hacia el producto y no hacia el mercado. El producto no es creado para cubrir una necesidad del mercado, su creación es independiente al mercado...

...In analyzing the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera merger case study, it was obvious that many factors, finances, personalities, and even the community would be involved. The wide reaching affects of a merger between these two types of organizations was eye opening. At the time of the proposed merger, the Utah Opera had a stronger financial footing and was not in danger of closing. The Utah Symphony however, was sliding down a dangerous financial slope. The organizations were structured differently in their number of employees and financial compensation packages. These differences would prove challenging in a merger and could be the basis Bill Bailey would use to oppose such a merger. Bill Bailey, Chairman of the Board of the Utah Opera Organization, could site Adam’s Equity Theory model in opposition to the merger. This theory basically states that an individual’s behavior is motivated by feelings of inequity or injustice (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010). The inequity between the two organizations is vast. The opera is financially sound and has very few full time employees as compared to the symphony. The artists for the opera are hired for the individual performances and not contracted year round like the symphony performers. The symphony also has four times the number of employees and these are unionized contracts. So in Bill Bailey’s eyes, the opera is being used to bail out the larger symphony with it’s more financially sound budget. Also, the symphony performers...

...I recently attended a concert entitled Masterpieces of the Guitar. The concert was performed by a solo artist named Robert Wetzel. The concert was presented by The Grossmont Guitar Guild, it was held at the Cuyamaca College of Performing Arts on October 29, 2012. This report will detail my experience and give an accurate, unbiased review of “Masterpieces of the Guitar.” Before the performance began I had the opportunity to sample the program and read through it thoroughly. The most important thing I learned from the program was information about the artist performing. I also learned about some of the music being performed. Pertaining to the artist performing his solo act, Robert Wetzel, he has a rich history in music. According to the program he began studying guitar at the young age of fifteen. He studied under master guitarist’s Angel Romero, Pepe Romero and Celedonio Romero. If you couldn’t already tell, all three of his masters were related and he considers himself part of this lineage. Today, he is a resident of San Diego, California. In addition to his performances with the guitar he also teaches music at San Diego State University, Grossmont College, Southwestern College and the University of California. I also learned, from the program about the songs I was about to hear performed by Wetzel. The artists listed include: Milan, Narvaez, Frescobaldi, Scarlatti,, Bach, Schumann, Debussy, Satie, Ravel, Moreno-Torroba, Tansman and Presti. I think this was important because...

...Music & Infinite Spirit I attended the South Suburban College’s Faculty Members’ Recital on Wednesday afternoon, October 15, 2014. The lecture recital included two music faculty members. David L. Howard was the violinist and was accompanied by Marilyn Bourgeois on the piano in presenting a music work of J.S. Bach from Paritita 3: Preludio…Gavotte en Rondeau, also P. de Sarasate…Nocturno,(from Chopin opus 9, number 2); and Paganini Caprice Number 24. The Lecture Recital was held at the college main campus’ Kindig Performing Arts Center. The Kindig Performing Arts Center seats roughly about 400 people, and all of the seats were not occupied due to the time of day but Mr. Howard stated it was a bigger turn out then normal which was good . I had a good seat with a fair view in the top right cascade of the theatre. The recital began promptly at the scheduled time as expected. When Mr. Howard was introduced the lights were dimmed down a little and were centered on the stage. Mr. Howard began by positioning the violin carefully under his neck. When Mr. Howard started playing his violin you could feel the vibration from each piece he performed. Mr. Howard performed Preludio. Gavotte en Rondeau by Bach which was a perpetual motion masterpiece and a ‘country’ dance of French origin. Next, was a transcription of Chopin’s Nocturne Opus by Pablo de Sarasate which his work is in the same key he adds an individual flair. Last was Caprice Number 24 by Niccolo Paganini. Each...
