    An Intelligent Design Makes The Laramie Project Shine A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing the William and Mary Theater Department’s production of The Laramie Project, a play that tells the story of the murder of Mathew Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming, that took place in 1998 in Laramie, Wyoming. Over the course of the next year, members of the Tectonic Theatre project travelled to Laramie six times and conducted over 200 interviews with the people living there in order to write and produce a play about how this horrifying event had affected their lives and the town they lived in. I was impressed by the performances of William and Mary’s production, especially since many of the actors are my age. I also quite

  • Othello Analysis Play

    1030 Words  | 3 Pages

    Within Shakespeare’s Othello, it conveys moral and subsequent reflection of events in its current society. In Act 4, Scene 2 (Part 1) demonstrates the road to Othello’s downfall and the success of Iago’s revenge. Within this scene, Othello interrogates Emilia for suspicion of Desdemona and Cassio’s affair, in which they have none, and with Othello's confrontation, he questions and insults her of her unfaithfulness and infidelity leaving Desdemona confused about what happened to Othello. Iago, called by Emilia, pretends to offer Desdemona comfort and Emilia raises notions of the possibilities and hypothesising that someone is 'feeding' Othello lies. Iago hastily covers these ideas to avoid exposure of the truth. This strong and indecisive scene twists the ideas of human nature within Othello’s mind and convinced perceptions of Desdemona, fulfilling Iago’s Revenge.

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream Theatre Analysis

    97 Words  | 1 Pages

    The discussion of play-within-a-play makes us think; what counts as good theatre? What does it take for us to act on a play? Can anyone watch and understand the art of theatre, with elements of parody in it? These questions provide very sparse answers, but through the parody of Pyramus and Thisbe and also Romeo and Juliet in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare has shown us a parody of what a bad theatre is itself. These parodies show that the play requires deep understanding of the art of theatre in order for it to be enjoyed fully.

  • Dramaturgical Analysis

    1189 Words  | 3 Pages

    “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” William Shakespeare may have written these words in As You Like It in 1600, but Erving Goffman truly defined the phrase with his dramaturgical theory. Dramaturgical analysis is the study of social interaction in terms of theatrical performance. Unlike actors though, who use a script telling them how to behave in every scene, real life human interactions change depending upon the social situation they are in. We may have an idea of how we want to be perceived, and may have the foundation to make that happen. But we cannot be sure of every interaction we will have throughout the day, having to ebb and flow with the conversations and situations as they happen.

  • An Analysis of Samuel Beckett's "Play",

    2004 Words  | 5 Pages

    Written in 1962-3, Play depicts three characters, a man (M), and two women (W1 and W2) trapped in urns with only their heads showing. These characters each present their own version of a love triangle, which once occurred between them. It becomes clear during the play that the characters, once tortured by each other, are now tortured by their situation. A spotlight acts as a "unique inquisitor," compelling each to speak when it shines on them, and to stop when it goes out. As this assault continues, the characters become increasingly maddened by the light, and increasingly desperate to make it stop. The play repeats itself, providing the audience with a sense that these characters have been saying the same words for an eternity, and will continue to do so until the light decides they can stop. Beckett demonstrates how "A style of living, theatrically communicable, is used to express a state of mind."

I would also like to visit our state museum as a field experience, where there is an extensive display of Native American villages and artifacts. During the building of the tee-pee, I would like to give the students more autonomy to see how they would manage without adult help. Without adult intrusion, the students would have greater opportunity to develop leadership and cooperation skills. In addition, I will focus more on integrating the concept of the similarities of between any Native American tribe and our classroom community. Our classroom is like a Native American tribe in that in order to build a thriving, safe, and healthy community, every individual has a job to do to and they must work together toward that goal.
