Jabbawokee Concert Report
This concert consists a wide range of different dances. The concert starts at a slower pace with the Ian Eastwood performance which is performed to a slower song. The dances that are present in this concert are very strong and a common theme that is shared amongst all the dances is that they all tell a story. From the beginning of the show to the end, each dance tells its own story. This is why the title is a world of adventure, with each performance and each story the audience is taking on different adventures. The lineup is set up to slowly build up to the Jabbawokeez. The concert is built around that performance because it’s the most adventurous and you have to judge the dancer’s emotions solely based off their movements. As an audience member you have to interpret each part of the dance and create your own story. This means that each person watching will have a different experience because people interpret thing in different ways. All of the dances consist of songs and choreography that is very powerful. It is evident that the dancers in each of the performances are highly skilled dancers and each of these dances are well rehearsed. The final dance is creating the best story for the audience and creates high levels of emotions for the people watching. It starts with the …show more content…
In contrast with the first few pieces, this was more traditional in that a very pleasant and soothing ballet piece. But the interesting part about this piece is that the song isn’t a typical music you would do a ballet dance to. The music tells a story while the dancer is creating movements that complement the music. Although the dance itself was very powerful and unique, the music did not always match the movements. There were some point where the song sped up and so did the dancers but others points where it was not sync at all. But, that the thing about dance, it doesn’t necessarily have to go with a certain beat or

    I learned man things about the dance ballet for example they alone more men in ballet the I expected and they wear make-up also. They are many structured techniques that go in the dance of ballet. They are also different ways that performers get ready to perform some stretched or some even jump rope. They were many threats that the dancers did too keep the blood flowing. Ballet also takes a lot of coordination and balance. All through the movie there were many times balance was needed. Ballet is a structured dance.…

    The intense dance between the two leads was so heartbreaking yet beautiful. The piece told the story of a man and a women who cared deeply, supporting each other yet now being good enough. The man and the women had dragging movements, carrying and dropping each other showing that they couldn’t survive. At the end, there was a spotlight on the women as she collapsed to the floor with the man standing over her and others gathering around. The male lead sprinkled rose petals over her body, making the story so powerful.…

    The art form of dance has been present on this planet for centuries, creating and inspiring people all around the world. Over time, some dance forms have evolved to mould society’s expectation and perspectives, while some have actually grown to question and scare it. Created in a time of change and cultural awakening, Post Modern Dance was seeded by performers in search of a new meaning to dance in a changing world. Since its beginning in the 60/70’s, the style has pushed the boundaries of dance and paved the way for Contemporary and Lyrical. Gideon Obarnazek, a postmodern choreographer creates a modernist piece for the chunky moves dance company that positions the company & himself in the Australian as “one of the best choreographers in Australia”.…

    On August 13, 2011 roughly 12,000 people were awaiting a Sugarland Concert at the Grandstand Stage at the Indiana State Fairgrounds when a windstorm rolled through and collapsed the Grandstand Stage taking the lives of seven people and injuring nearly forty others. The audience was briefly warned to vacate the area in an event of a storm, however the warning was given only moments before the stage collapse and the audience had no time to evacuate (Crandall, Parnell & Spillan, 2013). Throughout the day and evening of the concert, the National Weather Service issued notices and warnings predicting strong thunderstorms. Messages about the forecasts were relayed to various State Fair personnel via an automated text-messaging system. Cindy Hoye,…

    During the whole of the opening section, Andy Pink's score fills the stage with waves of clashing, grinding noise. The sound is a deliberate assault on the dancers, who appear to be flung around by its force - catapulted into flailing, staggered lines, or dashed, twisting, to the floor. For the audience, seated on all four sides of the stage, the combination of driven energy and savage pattern making is overwhelming; it comes as a relief when Pink's music and David Ward's lighting begin to calm the frenzy. The dancers start to become aware of wider horizons, and of each other: arms that were raised as barriers make tentative contact, and snatches of piano music mould their bodies into a graceful, more coordinated…

    The lighting effects used were alternating pulses between two and three orange lights on the psyche. The light’s timing matched the song and the color matched the dancers outfit. The style of dance for this piece was jazz with a few hip hop and lyrical incorporations. Of the six elements of choreography, three stood out to me: levels, group relationships and size of movements. Similarly to “One Dance” many transitions from high to medium and low levels such as hip sways, dips, turns, kicks, rolls, drops, flips, splits, laying down, rolls, turns, leaps, flips and tilts were used. The group relations in this piece can also be juxtaposed to “Words of a Love Song”. Performing this piece took a group effort; this dance featured several roll offs and partner styled moves. At some point during the dance, everyone had a solo moment and variations of the same movs were used between the girls. For majority of the dance, large, technically advanced moves were used and the girls used levels and traveling to cover as much space as possible. The professionalism was well in this dance. There were moments where someone may have been too early or late, but no real mistakes were made. The dancers were precise and went full out. You could tell they were performers. I liked this piece, it was sassy, fun and…

    The music for this section of the first dance was slow mellow jazz trumpet like sounds. I noticed that the dancers moved all around the sage and their spacing between each other was close. It seemed like they were on top of each other. The tempo of the beat was slow and the duet emphasized the movement of the legs they also had a smooth fluid energy. There was no stillness in this dance.…

    Although I still enjoyed the performance of this piece, the piece itself seemed a little to repetitive and boring. It felt as if the entire song was just slowed down and stretched out. The reason it though this piece sounded so repetitive was because of the constant tempo. This was not something that tied together to the rest of her pieces which all seemed to have a lot more movement. Although this piece lacked the consistent form from the rest of the recital, I still think it presented abundant musical talent and was still an acceptable addition to the concert as a…

    Throughout the piece I would say that the rhythm was pretty regular. Even though the tempo or rhythm would sometimes dip down, it would only be for a second and then become the more up beet rhythm like the rest of the song. Songs that are more regular in rhythm are catchy and more peaceful in a way. I guess the best way to describe it would be that it flows very nicely together and seems balances.…

    I attended The Works of Thomas Root on Tuesday, March 24th. It featured the Weber State University wind ensemble and symphonic band as well as the WSU Band Alumni. There were many pieces conducted and created by Thomas Root. Most pieces were still unpublished but they were wonderful nonetheless. He also had pieces that were dedicated to people that he had come to meet throughout his life, and a piece was dedicated to his own mother.…

    While his band may have scheduled their “final show”, Andrew Jollie is not planning on slowing down. Jollie, 30, is one of three guitarist in the local metal band Along Came The Flood. He helped form the band in February 2013, and has made quite the influence on the local scene since. The band won “Best Metal Act” by Limelight Magazine in 2014, and has made it to the finals for Battle of the Bands: Mass Metal Fest. When the band announced that their December 5th show would be their last, fans were left shocked. Jollie has participated in the local metal scene well before Along Came The Flood, and he will after.…

    All six dances in the ‘black and white’ ballets are based on sexuality. The male dancers in ‘Sarabande’ are dancing about masculinity, whereas the girls in ‘Falling angels’ are dealing with the issue of body image and pregnancy. ‘Petite mort’ is about sexual intercourse, the name ‘Petite mort’ translating into English as orgasm. The way the girls are lifted in all the dances represents at times the control men have over women like in ‘six dances’ and ‘sweet dreams’, ‘no more play’, and at other times, the relationship between male and female. Not only is the theme of sexuality a motif throughout the series of dances, it is also a defining characteristic of Jiri Kylian’s contemporary style.…
