In the Winthrop Dance Theater 2015, the Little Swans was choreographed by Marius Petipa and restaged by Mia Cunningham. During this piece the type of music played was “Swan Lake” by Pyotr llyich Tchaikovsky in 1896. Little Swans is considered to be the first of two excerpts from an adaptation of Petipa 's version of “Swan Lake.” This particular piece was in the genre of ballet and was performed by five females, and no males. The costumes these females wore consisted of them wearing a white tutu,…

Another girl, her face pale, stopped running and vomited in the grass. 6 laps later, the girls were finished with their 15 laps around the building. But this was only the beginning of their stretching and conditioning class with Mo at Studio One Dance Company. The exasperated girls trudged inside to continue their class. “You know what to do,” sighed Mo as he turned up the music. Sit ups, jumping jacks, lunges, burpees, and v-sits were…

I was initially interested in how throughout history there have been archival silences where certain events have been excluded from the archives due to the powers of the time deeming them unimportant. It is mainly female history that is unrecorded and the idea of silencing women because they are less important than men really made me think if there were times in my life where I had been silenced or told I was not allowed to do something because I was a girl. This was the idea I started to work…

Dance is a form of art that is shown through the movements of the human body. The two dances I observed was a beginning Latin technique dance class and a Choreography III dance rehearsal. I had never seen a rehearsal or technique class like the ones I have watched before. When I was observing the rehearsal and the technique class, I noticed that they had many similarities and differences. Reasons why I chose to watch a beginning Latin dance class and Choreography III was because I thought it…

Being able to choreograph and perform in dance concert is a very unique and amazing experience. Creating ideas with everyone around you and transforming those ideas into a masterpiece is a process like no other. With everyone’s opinions out in thin air, you can put all of your ideas into one to create something so beautiful. In Modern especially it was really intriguing to watch the whole process of how the dance was created. Since we did originally have a combo to go off of, it was different…

Making Connections ‘Music’ and ‘dance’, while simple words, hold a world of significance to almost every culture across the globe. It is through the actions of these two elements that people are brought together in times of triumph, grievance, celebrations, and religious gatherings. Music and dance have a way of making you forget the busyness and stresses of life and find happiness and serenity in the present day. And regardless, whether music and dance are performed for an audience or done in…

the three. Resembling Van Halen’s song which is composed of notes, pitches, and beats, Vase, Bottle, and Fruit is composed of colors, shapes, and lines and Swan Lake is comprised of footwork, gestures, and pirouettes. Similar to rhythm in music and dance, Matisse’s…

where I wanted to give up, I can’t dance the way I used too. I’ve lost all control of my passion for dance, the more negative I became towards my dance, and the more I felt me becoming much worse at dance. I used dance as an escape, so why is it that I couldn’t use this pain that I felt towards the accident for my dance, why is it that I’m complaining about not being able to dance I was slowly giving up time after time. I could blow the judges away with a dance I could perform and I wouldn’t…

appreciated as avenues that connect people to one another, just as it was shown in the play General Tinio St. by Atong Rodillo. The show was held at the PGH Science Hall back in September 31, fog and dimmed lights signalled the start of the show, and a dance number to a special rendition of Beep Beep by Juan dela Cruz band, no less, ensued afterwards. Despite the venue being compact, the stage production team was able to maximize it, and produce a set similar to that of a waiting shed in UP…

Chapter 1: In the beginning of the chapter the managers of the Opera house are hosting their last performance before their retirement. After the performance, a group of young ballet dancers run into La Sorelli’s dressing room in fear that they had seen the Opera ghost. After some time a mother of one of the dancers told them that Joseph Buquet was found hanging by a rope underneath the stage. The managers blamed the missing body on the dancers, however Gaston Leroux suggests that this was done…
