Analysis Of The Secret Garden By Dan Ross

455 Words2 Pages

Our time with Dan Ross was very informative. I was not very familiar with the art community of Fort Wayne. Dan Ross explained how important art was in our community, and he described how impressive it is that we have such a thriving art scene. When Dan Ross explained his job description, I could tell how passionate he felt about promoting the arts. I especially like when he described how the ballet studio was created because it showed that he was involved with all aspects of the art community.
The black box theatre space is extremely versatile. The space can be used for any number of performances at a lesser cost than other theatres. The seats can be rearranged in multiple ways to fit different types of performances. The size of the theatre is small, yet it can fit plenty of people(it would be a bit too small for BCT musicals). During The Secret Garden, the audience was set up in a basic format with the performance at the front of the theatre. …show more content…

The set was creative with the spinning wall, and the bedrooms at both side of the stage. The set design allowed the stage to be divided into three sections with different scenery. The lighting helped to guide the show. Depending on what setting the characters were in, the lighting would shine on one of the sections and dim in the others. The lighting in the windows of the bedroom was my favorite part. The costumes were accurate for the time period. There were not many costume changes, which was okay but I wish they had more. I like when the costumes change often, but I realize that is not easy. The props were well used, and they all seemed to have a

The set was a simple layout of a monitor screen placed as a centerpiece of the stage that functions both as lighting and a title billboard to identify the location. The stage revolves around one chair and a table that is used for various purposes in different time and setting. Accordingly, this is so that it reflects the tension in the political realm of the Australian society in the eighties, where power corrupts and the working class are undermined, focusing more on the dialogue of conflicting ideology rather than in the detail of the props. Additionally, an element of proxemics was also evident in the unique design of the stage in which it was set up as a thrust stage, with a three-sided playing arena, along with the exit wing being the down right center of the stage. The stage provided the actors to have several scenes that are mainly in the downstage, which increased proximity with the audience.

As matter of fact, the actors at some points are out in the audience, which makes for a kind of unique experience; things like lighting cues, set pieces just kind of spice it up. I think people will recognize the touch TJ theatre puts on

The house was almost entirely filled and the show was about to begin. As the show began, I had noticed that they incorporated young children in the play; at the beginning, they were sitting around in a circle and throughout the play, they had them sit in a single line on each side of the stage to signify that story telling appearance. However, they also got up to sing along on stage with the rest of the cast, which was an interesting feature of the show. I enjoyed seeing the characters walk up the stairs along the sides of the auditorium; even though the actors are not necessarily breaking the fourth wall, it made me feel as though I was involved and being recognized. I appreciated the fact that the entire cast were all under the age of twenty, which can really make a difference in the eyes of younger viewers; as a young audience member, seeing actors my age made me feel relatable to them compared to an older cast.

My purpose here is to compare. The subjects of this comparison are the novel Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, and the 2003 film based on the book, which shares the title. The film was directed by Lyman Dayton and Sam Pillsbury. The movie and the book are similar in many ways, as one would assume of a film and the book of which it is based upon. There is the most obvious similarity: most of the plot is identical.

The theatre was a fairly good size with a proscenium stage with a small platform that extended out towards the audience in the middle. The stage wasn’t all that big but I thought they used the space very wisely and that had an important on the performance. Based on the stage size the atmosphere I was able to gather was that the family was pretty close together spending a lot of their lives around one

The added puppet work furthered whimsy and character into a great classic. Shown in giant puppets like the moving ocean, or man held just the simple tiny arms hanging out of sail boats. The puppet work really showcased the actors well, and also fitted perfectly with the over the top comedic take of the production. The scenes flowed together effortlessly and had a creative presence due to the bight colors and costuming. The set truly took a character of its

At first, private playhouses could only be located in the city of London. Only six existed at the time and the wealthy mostly attended. The very first private theatres were called Paul’s playhouse, and the first and second Blackfriar (Narey). The private theatres were a considerable amount smaller than the public theatre, and they were also roofed. Private theatres have about one fourth to one half the seating capacity that a public did.

The Constant Gardener by John le Carré is an unusual novel in many respects. Combining the suspense and thrill of the espionage novel for which le Carré is justly famous, it exhibits, perhaps for the first time, the author’s deep-rooted humanism especially at the suffering of the less privileged living in the Third World countries among whom Africa ranks first. Though the novel could have easily slipped into some sort of sentimentality, le Carré has supported it with a mass of well-researched details which go to make up, with a great deal of authenticity, this narrative of exploitation and betrayal and blind profiteering from the sufferings of others. It lays bare the machinations and structures of monolithic corporations which manage to penetrate even such edifices like the WHO. The power of these global corporations transcend geographical boundaries and in today’s world of commerce they wield a power greater than that of governments and even policies of governments are made manipulable by the nexus that exists between the politicians, bureaucrats and the businessmen.
