Cabaret

Although the films The Blue Angel and the Titanic are very different, they do have a few similarities. In The Blue Angel, Immanuel Rath and Lola Lola embodied the contradiction of the provocative young female and a wretched old man in a relationship. Seductive Lola Lola embraces her sexuality through being a cabaret dancer and singer. Rath, the professor is stern, lonesome and much respected because of his profession. Rath meets Lola Lola in the process of punishing his pupils for distributing pictures of Lola in class. Rath goes to the club to find the pupils and ultimately becomes enticed by Lola. As Rath falls in love with Lola Lola, he gradually loses the respect from his students, especially when he marries her. In the beginning of the…

‘The Reader’ by Bernard Schlink and film Cabaret directed by Bob Fosse illustrates the way in which good and evil are a uniting force; wherein one cannot be wholly good or evil. Composers explore good triumphing over evil through context, and the representation of characters, along with metaphorical language and imagery; in doing so, compelling the reader to question their moral thinking and definitions of both good and evil. As judgements change and develop over time, the German society after…

The Main stage production of Cabaret, put on by Chapman University’s Department of Theatre, was magnificent. With direction by Michael Nehring, this interpretation of the sexy musical held a mirror to nature , transforming the 1972 classic to a current lens of reflection. Being on wardrobe for this production was an experience unlike any other. Ideals discussed in the classroom came to life as the actors prepared for each performance. It was intriguing seeing individual applications of exercises…

I highly enjoyed Kyra Selman cabaret show at Rockwell. She did an amazing job telling a story in a musical genre. Songs that really stood out are I am what I am, Drunken Love, and Black Girl Medley. The reason those songs stood out because most likely they are songs I have heard already, while majority of the other songs in Kyra cabaret I did not recognize and can not give a name. I enjoyed the whole show but the areas where I know the songs help me remember the story. I believe when Kyra was…

Beverly Hills Supper Club was a beautiful facility 75,000 square foot, two story building sitting nearly 80 acres.

The facility once owned by Mr. Peter Schmidt, that in the 1930s made the club in to a gambling society. It was then sold the…

depression, but Berlin drew the talent and energies of the rest of Germany towards its enticing cabaret performances and sex tourism. This cultural creativity included a newly liberated female population in which films began to present their female characters in sexual ways. The whole period of the Weimar Republic was a time of sexual liberation. My research question for my paper is, how did sexuality during the Weimar Republic effect women? To answer this question I will discuss gender roles,…

This semester for my independent text review I studied “the pharaoh's secret” by clive cussler and wrote an in depth evaluation of the story, characters and writing style for my text review. I choose clive cusslers “the pharaoh's secret”, because having recently read the book I was aware that I would have to leave a negative review. This is something I have not encountered before when reviewing pieces of text. As of this year I have been co managing the common room area during the end of day…

Diction: The “Jim Crow Club” phrase is used to show that certain clubs are known for having separate but equal ideals. The word “barring” and “grievous” show the bad mistake these less famous clubs made when they chose to exclude people of their own race and only allowing white people to enter. Imagery: The use of the words “large, dark, masculine lady, whose feet pounded the floor while her fingers pounded the keyboard.” This appeals to your sense of sight and sound. The simile “ like amusing…
