Thank you once again for visiting my blog! Sadly, this will be the final iteration in what has been quite the saga of entertainment. Over the semester, I had the privilege to view eight completely unique performances that have broadened my perspectives on not only art, but also how to approach novel cultures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I had an incredible experience over this past semester, I am incredibly disappointed that it was brutally cut short by our current pandemic. Thankfully, we were able to get a solid start to the semester with such incredible performances as Somi<\/a> and Anna Deavere Smith<\/a>. Both performances gave such incredible insights into emotions, thoughts, and experiences of cultures all over the world. In closing the in person semester, my favorite performance, was the fantastic Cabaret<\/a>. I have always been a fan of musicals and cabaret is the first that I actually got to see in person, so it will always carry meaning to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heart wrenching end of the in-person semester destroyed just about every normalcy in our lives, but, thanks to Digital Theatre+,<\/a> I could at least continue my genre-hopping expedition from home. The first performance, The Container<\/a>, highlights the struggles faced by refugees headed toward England in a gripping, single-set performance. Another single-set performance, Metamorphosis<\/a>, challenges traditional asian values in which the parents completely depend on their eldest son. This is all changed when the poor young man transforms into a human-sized dung beetle. The final event of the semester was Macbeth<\/a>. Shakespeare’s timeless classic was incredible, even online. Macbeth hosted some of the best acting I have ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had such a great time this semester, and I want to thank my two professors for making this all possible. Dr. Collins and Professor Robinson have been nothing short of amazing throughout this whole journey. I want to deeply thank them and anyone else taking their time to read my posts for being such incredibles guides and partners in this experience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
