Recommended: The character of Medea in Medea

Within my set I made many stylistic choices to accomplish a modern take with Greek influences such as using a modern door (1), columns with vines (2), the shape of the pool (3), lattice with vines (4), and curtains (5). Modern Door (1): The main purpose behind using a modern door is to present a known object to the audience (the ideal door is shown to the right). Using a modern door would help the audience recognize its purpose and would also help the audience relate to the characters as audience members use doors every day. One of the benefits with using a modern door instead of an archway, or none at all, maintains the separation between the humans and the gods. During this play, there are two worlds presented, the human world and the god’s …show more content…

The scene with Alcyone and Ceyx would play the song “Dead in the Water” by Ellie Goulding and the scene “Midas” would use the song “Gold” by Imagine Dragons. Note that only the intro and the chorus would be used as there is a short amount of time for the music to be played. The chorus of “Dead in the Water” is “I’m dead in the water/ Still looking for ya,” which emphasizes the fact that Ceyx is dead in the ocean, but traveled back to Alycone so they could be together. The chorus in “Gold” is “When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold,” which highlights how everything Midas touched turned to …show more content…

The beauty of an allusion is that the experience of the people who do not understand the allusion is not inhibited. The only other scene that has music direction is the last scene. “Baucis and Philemon” would use the song “Black Water” by Of Monsters and Men. The song discusses water, highlighting the use of the pool again, and has an upbeat, yet subtle, tone which makes it perfect for the scene. For transitions, music is used in the background to signal the transition from one vignette to the next. The music used for these transitions would be instrumental versions of the following songs: “Boats & Birds” by Gregory and The Hawk, “Take Flight” by Lindsey Stirling, “Tears of An Angel” by RyanDan, “Wind Beneath My Wings” by RyanDan, “A Drop In The Ocean” by Ron

The two pieces I have observed are Sad Case by Lightfoot and Leon and D-Man in the Water by Bill T. Jones. These two pieces are quite different but in a way they feel as if they could play off each other. Which is why I will be discussing the difference in the costuming, movement, and musical scores. These three components were the first things that I saw as I was watching the videos.

Gilbert Grape Burnout Analysis

616 Words | 3 Pages

The Grape family suffers from quite a bit of mental illness. Arnie is the most obvious example of this, but it is also clear that Mama has major depressive disorder triggered by the sudden suicide of her late husband (this stress related triggering of a mental disorder is plausible as this complies with the diathesis-stress model: individuals may be biologically predisposed to an illness, but require a stressor for that illness to manifest itself) Gilbert is also suffering from either dysthymia (a type of depression with mild symptoms but can last for years) or a type of sensory overload called burnout. Burnout is when the amount of constant stressors on a person’s sensory system causes the system to essentially overload, creating a state of

Isolation In The Painted Door

724 Words | 3 Pages

The Warmth of Desire The natural landscape and the winter storm in “The Painted Door” serve as a metaphor for Ann’s sense of isolation. Ann feels “furtive and constrained” in her relationship with John, as if there is a “frozen silence of...bitter fields and [a] sun-chilled sky...between” them. John never talks about more than the “crops and cattle, the weather and the neighbours” and he “never dance[s] or enjoy[s] himself” and she feels as if he has “[deprived] her of his companionship”. Ann’s relationship with John is silent; they rarely talk much and comparatively when Ann is spending time with Steven, they have things to talk about as well as do things such as dance. Ann and John’s relationship, much like the “surrounding snow and silence”,

Entry Of The Gods Into Valhalla Analysis

1076 Words | 5 Pages

“La Mer” is a classical French piece of music that was written by Debussy in the twentieth century. The song begins with a disjunct sound caused by the different melodies and harmonies being played by different sections of the orchestra. Slowly out of the chaos brings a light, airy feeling that was accomplished by the help of a flute and violin solo. The excitement again grows causing a repetitive feel, but this time it is cultivated by the brass and the percussion sections that cause a tremendous increase in the volume of the piece. The song is halted, and proceeds as the cellos crescendo which seems to have a direct correlation to an increase in tempo.

Flash Dance Analysis

(Fig. 5) The still above (Fig.5) from Alex’s audition scene, is a still of one of the most memorable sequences throughout the film, the editing used is almost perfectly synched to the music. While the use of dance and movement that Alex portrays is sensual and very intimate but equally expresses her joy and passion for dance, it could therefore be argued that the use of editing, light, costume etc. are what advances the romantic plot forward in the narrative and that the dance sequences are merely a device used to fill space within the
