Stage Door

The Stage Door blog was very new to me! Firstly, because I am not educated when it comes to Broadway, the closest I’ve gotten to Broadway is musicals on DVD or Broadway Avenue if that counts? Secondly, the language barrier posed a challenge when it came to understanding the textual parts of the blog. The video segments of the blog made me feel as though I would really enjoy Broadway. Everything from the acting, production value, stage displays and music seem as though so much work goes on behind the scenes. It’s crazy to me that some people devote their whole lives to acting in Broadway plays and I haven’t even seen one. After looking through the blog and doing some outside research, I think I should step into Broadway by first watching productions based on movies I know, such as Legally Blonde and then go into famous plays such as Cats and Wicked.
One of the videos I watched was Miss Celie’s Blues, which was incredibly well done! Its from the Broadway play called The Color Purple, which is also a movie, so that could be another option for me to watch as a movie before seeing it live. Also, Michael Buble’s performance of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was impressive. I love Christmas songs, especially when they are performed by artists that give their own unique twist on the music.

In general I enjoyed viewing the Stage Door blog and appreciate how it opened my world to Broadway.

Interview with Raul Cuero

Hello Everyone! I recently had the chance to watch an interview with Raul Cuero, a famous microbiologist. The interview was based around his views on creativity and what it means to really be creative. The first thing I took away from the interview was Raul Cuero’s inspiring life story. He came from a poor background in Colombia, where his dream of being a microbiologist was looked at as just that, only a dream. He overcame obstacles including racism and prejudice, accounting all the criticism as motivation to make him stronger. Another thing I took away was Raul Cuero’s opinions on intensity and how much it affects creativity. He drilled into my head that in order to be creative, artists must put all they have into their work. Intensity and passion are key ingredients to the success Raul Cuero achieved. Without them, his crazy dream of being a microbiologist would have never been achieved. Listening to Raul speak made me reflect on my own hope...

Music and its many genres.....

Hello Everyone! Welcome back to my blog (: For my next class assignment I had to choose 5 different music "movements" from a list my professor created and add one group/musician/preformer to that category, especially related to the usage of technology. Why did I choose this artist? Why did I consider their work fits with technology and electronic music in their context? ......Here goes nothing!! GIRL POWER- An artist that deserves to be in this category is Demi Lovato. For starters, her 'Sorry Not Sorry' album was pronounced "The Ultimate Girl Power Anthem" in 2017. Her fiery, uptempo lyrics inspired women to stand up for themselves and ignore anyone who tries to bring them down. She has been in the spotlight since she started her acting career on Disney and slowly transitioned to becoming a musician later in her teenage years. During this time period, she battled with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and an eating disorder. After taking time off she ...
