Romeo And Juliet With Dancers From The Australian Ballet

713 Words3 Pages

The dance production I will be making this report about is a ballet performance titled Romeo and Juliet with dancers from The Australian Ballet, which Graeme Murphy choreographs. I have always wanted to watch a Romeo and Juliet production either in a live theatre or at least that was pre-recorded. I am glad I was introduced to the Marqueetv website to find all of the productions I have always wanted to see. I also wanted to relive the story of a book I read in high school, and I have always wanted to watch a ballet performance in general, so Romeo and Juliet was the perfect live show for this project. Due to their families' hatred for each other and the constant pressure to keep them apart, Romeo and Juliet couldn't express their love in public, …show more content…

I wanted to watch additional performances after I completed this assignment and during my free time, I paid for the subscription before watching the Romeo and Juliet performance. The two performances that I want to watch are Giselle and Alices Adventures in Wonderland because of the description in one of the modules of Giselle and because I believe that Alices Adventures in Wonderland will be a fun performance to watch. In addition, the performance was phenomenal, and I am so glad that I decided to watch this production of Romeo and Juliet first because the decision to watch additional performances on this site was set in stone after watching it, as I know the other productions will be great as well. Compared to the dance performances I have been a part of and seen, this Romeo and Juliet performance could not even compare considering how amazing it was to watch. When I performed, I was sloppy and had not practiced the performance at all. At the same time, the performers in the Romeo and Juliet production showed that they had spent every waking moment in practice perfecting every

Benjamin Barlow Professor Lombardi English 102 February 21, 2016 Leo Szilard’s “A Petition to the President of the United States” This appeal to stop the use of the atomic bomb was written by Louis Szilard and endorsed by 58 credible scientists that all worked in the nuclear energy field and were largely responsible for the creation of the atomic bomb. Once they were reaching the end of their research and had created a working atom bomb, the realization of the true power and destruction that it contained was enough to convince them that it should not be used. They came together to try to caution President Truman on the use of the bomb during war.

The dancers more than rose to the occasion. And the audiences' enthusiastic responses indicated that company loyalty among ballet-goers is still strong. Earlier in the season I saw a performance of Peter Martins' Romeo + Juliet that had a lovely, lyrical Juliet in Sterling Hyltin, an appealingly ardent Romeo in Harrison Coll (making his debut), and some virtuosos in the roles of Mercutio (Daniel Ulbricht), Tybalt (Joaquin de Luz), and Benvolio (Joseph Gordon). But Martins' version of this warhorse still fails to sing. Martins' version is best in the fight scenes, where the violence escalates in a very organic, tense

Romeo and Juliet, a play, a tale of two, sane, mundane lovers, and of course their wonderful in-laws, yes? No for what would such a story be without any drama? The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by famed Renaissance playwright William Shakespeare, lacks such content and carries quite the opposite. These two lovers through a lack of communication and short-sighted choices dig themselves and their relatives down the rabbit hole to the extent of their deaths. However, it is the impulsivity of Lord Capulet and his daughter Juliet throughout the play that creates troubling situations for these young adults, resulting in the tragedy of young people being forced to make adult decisions.

In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet is a useful tool when demonstrating lessons on situations young adults need to consider being careful about. Therefore, it should be taught to students in their freshman year to inform them on what could happen when you’re careless. Furthermore, the play should be reevaluated in our junior/senior year to go over and strengthen their skills and

One of the most famous plays that a person could have ever read or seen is “Romeo and Juliet”, written by William Shakespeare. He is the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist that ever lived. In the drama, the decision of Romeo and Juliet to marry each other even though it’s the first time they meet each other is foolish. Also, their parents don’t even know the existence of their love for each other, which has led to the death of both of them and the loss for both families.

William Shakespear’s Romeo and Juliet is a classic tragedy which tells the love story of two star-crossed young lovers from two warring families. My appropriation of Act 1 Scene 5 will be set in modern day Sydney, at the time of the Olympic Games. The scene is a pivotal moment in the play as is the moment when Romeo and Juliet first meet, and their love is instantly sparked. My appropriation will tell the story of two talented gymnasts who travel across the world from very contrasted backgrounds to compete in the Olympic Games. A central feature of the play is the Capulet and Montague’s conflict, which would be represented in my appropriation through the athlete’s countries which they are representing in the Olympics.

Considering that I like a good, civil, and heated debate, the tale of Romeo and Juliet was captivating, and because the book was different from other books, having its own “language”, including a major plot twist, and by it taking place in an uncommon time period. This project experience was enjoyable for countless reasons while also, teaching me how to overcome setbacks, become a powerful speaker, and to effectively plan my time. The greatest
