Recently, I had the pleasure of viewing a musical play on horseback. With over thirty-two horses and a cast of top trick riders made this an unforgettable experience. The play was a five-course dinner and a three-hour show all at the same time. This beautifully synchronized show Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction is performed at Dolly Parton’s Stadium in downtown Branson MO. At first glance, I was amazed by how clean and organized the whole building was. The presentation stood way…

REHEARSE WITH THE ACTORS: The rehearsal of actors is an essential role in any production, particularly an absurdist play due to the intricacy of characters. Characters are a combination of multi dimensional tiers in addition to being stereotypes and simplistic. Characters are defined by their functions as their responses tend to be orientated to the action of the moment oppose to already known character specific instincts. Rhinoceros adds another layer of character complexity due to the…

I would love to direct is Next to Normal, a musical by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt. It follows a family as they navigate through the mother’s struggle with bipolar disorder and depicts the various ways mental health affects us all, directly or indirectly. I am attracted to this piece for several reasons, the main one being how each character reacts and approaches their mental health. If I were to direct this piece I would use Gabe as a manifestation of mental illness and use his interactions with…

“Acting is the ability to live truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances,” says Sanford Meisner. One of the careers that has stagnated to one of the most admirable jobs in the eyes of teens is acting. Acting, defined as the art or occupation of performing in plays, movies, or television productions as a job that can take place in all forms of media. The job can be hard to accomplish and gain a good reputation to perform the part right every time, which can be hard to stay calm and…

Once the story of Belle Gibson was released to the public, I was hooked on the idea of what it could become if it was used as the base of a story. The Australian’s article on the Belle Gibson story provided a strong stimulus, as it discussed the tales of her so-called terminal illness. What made the article interesting in my opinion was Gibson’s reasoning to why she lied about her terminal illness, and how it lead to a lot of drama amongst people. It occurred to me that the same situation could…

When reading this play at first I really didn’t understand the humor in reading it. After watching the clips everything clicked with me. I really had to get a visual of what the play was to understand it. Now I have a clear understanding that in this play had a lot of satire in it. This whole play had satire from Get on Board, The Hairpiece and The Last Mama on the couch. They took serious issues in the African American culture and made it funny, but it’s something that African Americans dealt…

I picked the “Pied Piper” by BTS, I picked this song because I think that it represents a lot of me and my life in general. I admire this band because of the hard effort that they put into their work. For example most idols have very tight and busy schedules to carry. Like their other songs, Not Today and Fire, they have choreography and performed live for thousands of people. I enjoy most of their music and the work behind them. This song is meant to represent the people who admire them. The…

First time I enrolled in a music class, I was six years old and discovered a world of sounds and rhythms that, in a few years, turned into pieces of sheet music and instruments I wanted to explore. After three years of music classes for kids, I decided to learn how to play the flute and dedicated myself to the tricky task of making sounds through steady blows and precise finger movements. I believe that most of my determination were strengthened during that time. Furthermore, I joined a choral…

This article presents a photographer named Lujan Agusti who has recently arrived in Mexico. During her time there, she was straight away shocked by the numerous amounts of religious festivals occurring all through the year. She was captivated by the performances that re-enacted the past, along with the characters. There were many festivals dedicated to their religion, celebrating holy week, anniversaries of churches, and more. “Religion is everywhere!” Agusti said. Agusti roamed around the…
