The Play 100 Brains By Natalie Gaupp
On Thursday April 19, 2018 I attended the play 100 Brains with several of my fellow classmates at the Studio Theatre in the University’s campus. The play was written by Natalie Gaupp and it narrates the story of Alix Liddell whom recently graduated from college with a bachelor she didn’t really want but instead was advised to finish it because she was running out of time. After her graduation, she starts looking out for the perfect job, but with a made up resume of her own, which leads her to Brillig- Labs where the story reflects many of the characters from Alice in Wonderland. My little friend Ivan is 5 years old he is a nonverbal autistic whom also happens to suffers from light hypersensitivity. If he would’ve attended this show with me: the location, seating organization, type of play, and the time of the play would’ve been really …show more content…
The play overall was full of perceptible information, which he would’ve enjoyed watching it; the information that was communicated was the necessary, and they used different modes to present it (sounds, big cat paw, the projected images in the walls, and the exaggerated costumes worn by the actors).Many of the features of this play promoted an inclusive environment not only for Ivan but for others as well, overall it was family friendly play. The show was during the night, seating wasn’t assigned, there were people also suggesting and guiding towards seating, the arrangement of the stage was nontraditional, and the play had several characters of a well known children story. Ivan is a bubbly and happy kid that doesn’t allow his autism to stop him, because of his age

    The event I attended was one of the many plays that takes place on campus in the arts building. The play I specifically attended was called Appropriate, which was originally written by playwright, Branden Jacobs Jenkins. The play was approximately 3 hours in length with an intermission included into that time. Overall, the play specifically deals with family conflict and the whole idea of race itself. All of the main characters in the play are all interconnected family members that originally are from the south. The main characters included: Toni (eldest sister who recently lost her job and is divorced, Frank (youngest brother who was a past drug used and alcoholic), and Bo (eldest brother who is a wealthy businessman). The more secondary characters in the play included: Rachel (Bo's Jewish wife), Ainsley (Bo and Rachel's youngest daughter), Cassidy (Bo and Rachel's eldest daughter, River (Frank's Fiancée), and Rhys (Toni's son) Ugly family secrets are uncovered in this play, while a family sorts through the estate of their deceased father. A grueling photo album is found during the whole cleanup process and it arises a variety of conflict. The photo album contained pictures of African Americans being lynched, abused, and dehumanized. This lead to the belief that the deceased father/grandfather of the family was a racist and possibly a part of the Klu Klux Klan at some point in time in the past. All of the siblings couldn’t grasp the fact that the album actually belonged to their father and tried…

    As soon as I entered the theatre, it was completely packed. I also saw many people from different age groups; this gave me a feeling that the show would be entertaining enough to get people from all ages to come and see the show. The environment of the theatre was very formal, as there was a red and gold layout and it was also very clean.…

    We will name the teacher Mary for the purpose of this critique as Aistear does not state the name of the presenter. Mary looks at pedagogical framing which she states lays the foundations for play. She calls it behind the scene work. According to Mary it includes the provision of resources, arrangement of space, and the establishment of daily routines, thematic planning and assessment. Mary communicates her message across in an orderly and mannerly tone. She is easy to listen to and reminds me of a teacher that I had many years ago wise and well experienced. I would be confident to implement her suggestions just by the tone of her…

    - In order to be first in delivering such play, the civic courage is necessary, - the writer says. - To lift the project without patronage of nouveau riches today when people save on water and electricity, it is a feat. Alexander Kaplan very creatively approached the setting of a performance and wasn't afraid to include very effective video frames in a performance. As a result even the specialists thinking that in theater similar show is unacceptable, admitted that the performance only benefited from it. You saw that the audience quits after a performance with tears in the eyes. It once again reminded them that life isn't infinite. The past passed, tomorrow is in fog, there is only today. When we understand it, we will live differently: more…

    When I first walked into the theater, I was very surprised with the close proximity of the chairs to the stage and props. I was not expecting to be seated on the actual stage where I could practically touch the actors. Once the show began, it started with one of the actors coming out and welcoming everyone to the show. However, he did not just say “welcome everyone!” He actually named off every single type of human possibly there for over two minutes. While doing this, he would sit in the audience, point at people and interact with them. I really enjoyed the intimacy of the play with it’s close…

    Temple Grandin grew up with little ability to speak, destructive behavior, and sensitivity to certain objects and feelings. In the 1950’s when she was diagnosed, autism was not a highly explored topic. Therefore, her mother received the message that Grandin would face many difficulties in life. Eventually, Grandin realized, “Oh, it’s me that’s different,” though she did not let this stop her from going to enough school to get her doctorate (9). Throughout her life, she has used her disadvantage with autism in participating in studies to help those with autism now lead a more successful life.…

    In Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card, Card uses a variety of craft moves to demonstrate the theme of sacrifice. Sacrifice is clearly the theme because the author contemplates whether sentient alien life has as much worth as human. The character Jane sacrifices herself in order to save the planet Lusitania, home to three sentient species: the Piggies or Pequeninos, the Buggers and the Humans. Card develops a strong affection for the character Jane who is a creature created by the Buggers’ hive queen. Jane is made up of net of philotic twining with a soul “downloaded" into it, creating a creature that only exists through technology. When Earth sends a fleet armed with the ¨little doctor¨; the futuristic equivalent of an atom bomb, capable…
