STOMP at the Lowry Theatre
STOMP has a unique combination of dance, theatre, comedy, percussion
and beat all intertwined with one another to create a truly amazing
and breathtaking performance. The skill and ability, both physical and
mental, of each and every person involved in the company was
extraordinarily outstanding. Thinking back now, I cannot bring to
mind, any fault with the show that stands out enough to be worth
mentioning!
I'm not entirely sure what I expected as I stepped off the bus into
the open court of The Lowry entrance, in fact, I think at the time I
actually felt rather travel sick but if I remember correctly, that
soon disappeared as I looked up to see the advertisements in the large
windows of the theatre. When I say advertisement, I'm not talking the
kind you might see in a newspaper or magazine, I'm talking BIG...
bigger even than billboards, so big they filled what must have been
the size of a three story building window. Then it struck me that they
were actually advertising STOMP. Wow, I thought, it must be good for
the obvious effort that went into putting those up!! We continued
walking, on through the door and straight through again until we were
in the theatre itself and carefully placed in our seats. As I sat down
I noticed that every seat was filled with peering eyes, people
waiting, possibly wondering what to expect. Me? All I knew about STOMP
before that night was the knowledge that they were 'those guys that
made noise with dustbins n stuff'. Not quite prepared would probably
be the right phrase for what came out from behind the curtain soon
after. One person, sweeping up, 'fair enough,' I thought, 'I could do
that'. I looked round and sensed the same vibe from the people closest
to me. But, then another sweeper came out, then another, and another,
until the whole stage was filled with characters all pushing,
swinging, tap-tap tapping along to a beat. I say characters because
First they started with the outside of the stadium. They chose a brick front, which enhanced its retro look. Secondly they incorporated the B&O warehouse in the backdrop, which by the way is “the longest building on the east coast: 1,016 ft long by 51 ft wide”(#7). The warehouse is used as the Orioles main offices, a restaurant, a gift shop, and a club.
In 1901 Cass Gilbert (1859-1934) designed the elaborate hall for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held in Saint Louis in 1904. This short-lived structure deserves attention, as it was a main focus of the fair and an important benchmark in its designer's career.
But there was Holy Cross, the product of a happy accident rather than a well-conceived plan, preparing to meet Oklahoma for the national title in New York. In March 1947, the team without a home court had appropriated Madison Square Garden.
RENT the Musical There's a scene in the new musical "RENT" that may be the quintessential romantic moment of the '90s. Roger, a struggling rock musician, and Mimi, a junkie who's a dancer at an S/M club, are having a lovers' quarrel when their beepers go off and each takes out a bottle of pills. It's the signal for an "AZT break," and suddenly they realize that they're both HIV-positive. Clinch. Love duet.
The largest structure at the fair was the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. It housed many...
(a) Dimensions. The dimensions shall be 20 feet wide, 40 feet long and 20 feet high, with a back wall at least 12 feet high. All surfaces shall be in play, with the exception of any gallery opening, surfaces designated as out-of-play for a valid reason (such as being of a very different material or not in alignment with the backwall), and designated court hinders.
On Friday November 15, 2013, I attended a concert that I found very interesting. It took place at 7:30 pm at the First Presbyterian Church of the Covenant. The group performing was the Erie Chamber Orchestra but as a special the Slippery Rock University Concert Choir was also there.
On Sunday afternoon November 21, 1999, at 2:00 p.m.at 419th Concert Worldwide, 330th in New York, 218th in Carnegie Hall I attended a MidAmerica production that presented the New England Symphonic Ensemble. This concert contained several different compositions by large groups of musicians, including an orchestra band, and chorus. This concert was divided into three different parts. First there was the Vivaldi which was divided into 12 sections. Virginia-Gene Rittenhouse was the music director, Raymond Sprague was the conductor, Judith Von Housers Voice was the soprano, Mary Nessinger voice was the Mezzo soprano, and Elizabeth Hastings was the portative. There was a reprise in the first section Gloria which opened up the symphony.
Slowly but surely Jefferson finished a small brick building, which was the south pavilion, in 1770. Later the north pavilion was finished and served as a study for his son-in-law.

PHILADELPHIA – A bride flees into the night with her former lover, leaving her awaiting groom and a bloodstained vendetta behind. A special performance of Federico García Lorca’s classic “Blood Wedding” will take place on Nov. 6 and will run through Nov. 23 at Drexel’s Mandell Theater, as the Philadelphia Artists’ Collective (PAC) and members of Drexel University’s Co-Op Theatre Company collaborate in staging this classic Spanish tragedy.

Public Spaces provide unique experiences and contribute to the identity of a city. Found as places like plazas, parks, marketplaces, within buildings, lobbies and many more. Public spaces are important to our society and therefore face more arguments in design and construction compared to private spaces.
Theater of the Absurd applies to a group of plays with a certain set of characteristics. These characteristics convey a sense of bewilderment, anxiety, and wonder in the face of an unexplainable feeling. These plays all have unusual actions and are missing a key element that would clearly define other pieces of literature. Language and actions differ from the usual and sometimes cannot be explained in the Theater of the Absurd. In the works of Albee and Ionesco language, behavior, and structure are abnormal if compared to other plays. Language is a key factor that is presented as a weak form of communication throughout “The Future is in Eggs,” “The Zoo Story,” “The American Dream,” and “The Leader.”
