Evita-Musical Production
Evita was a very well rounded musical production. All aspects of the production, including the singing, dancing, lighting, scenic design, and stage projections produced a great show. Not only were the actors on stage talented, but the use of light and video projection enhanced the performance and was one of the highlights throughout the show. I specifically enjoyed when the white curtain became the train of Evita’s dress and was used as a projection screen while it was attached to her. I have seen many shows where images/videos have been projected against curtains or hard surfaces, but I had never seen images/videos projected upon an actor or actresses costume who is on the move. I think this was a brilliant choice and the fact that the curtain

    It also helped the audience make sense of the setting because the transitions from scene to scene was quick and there was no background design. The lighting took my experience to a whole new level because it helped bring out all the characters and the settings. This play's setting was all dependent on the lighting because they used the lighting to establish the different settings and I think they were successful. It was the strongest statement in the production because not only did it help us, the audience but also the actors on stage to understand where the barriers were between different the rooms and helped make it look like an enclosed area.…

    “The Drowsy Chaperone," a musical phenomenon, with songs by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, based off the book written by Mr. Martin and Don McKellar. An hour and forty minutes of pure comedic relief, a nod to the aspect of escapism of the twenties. Adorned with the perfect balance between historicism and modernism, this musical provides the foundation for a night of amusement and thrill. It is a sneak peak into the extravagant musicals of the 1920s. A long lost era where prohibition dampened the spirits of many, liquor flowed like water, flappers were the rage, and gangsters were high on life.…

    I was recently given the privilege of playing in the pit orchestra for the musical at my high school. I loved the experience of meeting other members of the music department, sharing many cookies. Challenging myself by playing music that I didn’t usually played exposed me to different music that went from five sharps to one flat. Because of my orchestral experience, I will audition for the Wellesley-Brandeis Orchestra. Having experienced a kind of merging between groups, I was able to meet different people (the band as well as the conductor for band), learning how to play a different style as well as learning how to communicate differently than that I was used to. Through the Wellesley-Brandeis Orchestra, I will have the opportunity to meet…

    From the warm yellow light for a Christmas party on Christmas Eve, to the hue light with snow falling, the lighting and special effect played an important role in completing the world suggested by the ballet. And I must say that the part where lighting and special effects did it best job was the performance of the Prince, Clara and many other dancers when they get to the Land of Sweets, when the snow is falling, creating a wonderful and magical images. This was the only time that they used special effects with a white theme - white dresses, white snow, white and hue lights. What a nice ending to Act I!…

    In the piece we listened to for this assignment, there are multiple instruments making the sound. Each of them is making a different sound and then when the all come together we get an even better and enjoyable sound. There is the Piano, Violin, cello, flute, and Tuba in this piece of music from what I could see. The mood for this piece to me was calming and peaceful, at certain parts it became more uplifting but for the majority it was slow and calm. This performance was great to listen to while I studied because of its calming nature.…

    I believe that I should be in the Ao Orchestra because my heart is dedicated to music. Every day when I get home from school I put 30-45 minutes into piano practice every day. Musical instruments have always impressed me and have brought a strange joy to my heart. Everyday I strive to improve at least 1 thing about me, whether it be school related, music related and even social related. Piano may be my most played instrument, but I truly enjoy the violin a lot more. The great excitement of becoming an Orchestra member has always thrilled me Through out 1 ¾’s of years experience my love for music has changed drastically. When I was first introduced to the violin, I wanted to skip practice, everything string I played made a displeasing plunk…

    Working: The Musical was a musical with a series of stories explaining the life of a worker. Most of the workers in the play were blue-collar workers trying to make a living explaining there enjoys and struggles they have with their job. The scenery of the play was a very plan and had nothing but straight edges and shapes that made a work factory. I believe this to have been symbolic, because there is no roundness to these jobs. The jobs are routine and is repetitive that continues in a straight path not getting to go anywhere but straight to retirement. I believe this play was a great experience to take part in, because it is a show that can be relatable to the minority that doesn’t get things handed to them. We work and earn our livings to survive and live a full life.…

    On Sunday April 7 , 2013 I attended the Junior Recital for Michelle Ellison (soprano) and Rachel Stanton (piano) at Oberlin College & Conservatory. Coming to my second show at Oberlin College I really didn’t know what to expect this time around. On this nice day at Oberlin College I observed many students outside playing their instruments and various groups outside singing in circles enjoying the weather. I could tell that these students were very passionate about music. Inside of the conservatory building the recital was held inside of the Kulas Recital Hall. This was my first time entering a room that was made specifically for musical recitals. The hall wasn’t too big but it was large enough to fit a nice sized crowd in a narrow room.…
