The classes this week have been great! I have really enjoyed learning about dance and part of theater. Well for Monday my favorite part was watching Thriller obviously. I really enjoyed learning about all the different aspects of dance and then we got to apply them right then. No wonder people like modern dance better then ballet. No offense to anyone who does love ballet but you can’t beat Michael Jackson. He did such a great job in that music video and caught the eye of the whole nation. I do think ballet will be a little bit more enjoyable now that I have learned about the different moves and how difficult it is to stay that focused and controlled. I was astonished to find out that physically it was harder than hockey but after talking to some dancers they said while they were dancing that was the best physical shape they have been in. I also enjoyed the dances that we saw today. The dance with the balloons was great and I think we gave a lot of really valid descriptions of what the dancers were trying to say to us. Dance has been my favorite topic so far and I am sad that we are already past it and moving to theater. The introduction to theater was great today too. I never really thought about the stage and how it can affect the play and the audience. Some of the ancient theaters completely amazed me as well. Since entertainment was so limited, theater was probably one type that people loved and that’s why the amphitheaters were so huge. I look forward to continuing this conversation Monday and moving into music.
