First, you must decide what type of theatrical production you want to attend: a
dance production, a musical comedy or drama, an opera or a concert
(classical)**. You can consult the “Living” (Mon. – Thurs. & Sat., Sun.) or the
“Weekend” (Fri.) sections of the Miami Herald or Sun Sentinel. You can also
find show listings in The New Times.
Another way to find out about upcoming performances is by signing up for
UTIX from the Arsht Center. Once you sign up, you will receive emails with
opportunities to purchase deeply discounted tickets to a selection of the shows
performed on the Arsht Center’s stages. Tickets will be offered in limited
quantities, sometimes with a few days’ notice, and should be printed at home
prior to arrival at the Arsht Center. Seat locations vary by performance and
ticket availability for each individual performance. Open to full time students
with Student ID. Click here: http://www.arshtcenter.org/Tickets/arsht-utix/ for more
information.
Another great link to all the theaters in Dade and Broward
is http://miami.eventguide.com/. You can also go
to http://culturalconnection.org for same day reduced theater tickets.
You can also go the the HUM 1020 Course Resources link in the main menu.
There are numerous links to theater around Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.
You can travel to the production on your own, with friends, or even with your
group members from class.
REMEMBER to bring your student ID so that you get a discount on
admission. Remember to print out your tickets as well if necessary!
REMEMBER to keep a copy of your ticket and playbill as proof of attendance
in case I have questions.
REMEMBER to print out the guidelines and questions that go with your
theater visit before you go, so you know what to write about.
REMEMBER to take pen and paper so that you can complete notes to help
you write your paper when you return home.
Because I want you to have a good experience, I have tried to point you in the
right direction toward well known PROFESSIONAL theaters. School,
community, and church productions can be very well done, but do not meet
the requirements for this assignment. (College theaters are fine.) If you choose
a professional theater you should be fine, but if you are unsure about your
theater visit qualifying for this paper, be safe rather than sorry, and email me
before going to get the official okay. Please give me at least a week’s notice.
***No ice shows, comedians, shows at comedy clubs, or pop, rock, rap, or
country music concerts. No Rocky Horror Picture Show. No live streamed
theater performances. It must be LIVE THEATER.
Step 2
Guide to Being a Good Audience
Unlike television, live performance, to be successful, requires the active involvement
of the audience. What fun would it be if everyone at a rock concert sat primly in
his/her seat and clapped demurely at the end of each number? The audience is also
expected to play a role in a play, concert, opera, or ballet.
What is the role of the audience? As with the audience at a rock concert, it is
to mirror and support the role of the players. If the players are making jokes (verbal,
visual, or musical), the audience, of course, is expected to laugh. When the players’
tone is more thoughtful, the audience is expected to be attentive.
Specifically, each audience member is expected to:
1. Arrive before the action begins and not leave until the action is finished.
Members of the audience arriving late or leaving early “dis-concert” those
around them and destroy the impact of the presentation just as much as if one
of the performers walked in late or left in the middle. Also, if you come in late,
you may not be seated to an intermission so as not to disturb others; therefore
you will miss some of the action. Make sure to turn your cell phones on
silent (not vibrate).
2. Not draw any attention away from the performers by talking, crumpling candy
wrappers, eating, and so forth. Asking your neighbor what an actor just said
only guarantees you’ll both miss even more dialogue. If you want to take notes,
do so discretely if you can. Do not use the flash light on your phone to light up
what you are doing. It will distract others next to you. If you cannot see, then
wait until intermission to jot down some notes.
3. Do his/her part by being prepared to understand and appreciate the
performance. Program notes explain and comment on the work(s) to be
presented, so the audience knows what to expect and listen for. You can also
research your production in the library or on the Internet before you attend for
some helpful information and notes.
4. Activate all his/her senses. Plays, ballets, operas, and classical music concerts
are just like rock concerts in that they are designed to be total experiences.
That’s why so many concert halls are such beautiful places. Sets, lighting, and
costumes are vital to the impact of a play. The alert audience member looks as
well as listens.
5. Learn when action is required. Applause, wonderful as it is, is usually only
appreciated at the end of an act of a play or opera or piece of music. A
symphony, or other work with several movements, is considered one piece and
shouldn’t be interrupted by applause. How does one know when a work is over?
The program indicates how many movements, or sections, each piece has and
at what tempo (speed) each movement is played, so the alert and attentive
audience member can keep track of which part is being played. If in doubt, wait
until the conductor puts down his baton and turns around. As a last resort, wait
to see what the rest the audience does. Interrupting a play or opera with
applause is rude, even if half the audience does it.
6. Be in appropriate “costume”. You wouldn’t wear the same outfit to a rock
concert and your sister’s wedding and a “costume” appropriate for the beach is
not quite the thing for a play or concert.
Paper Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•
Papers need to be at least 600 words minimum and should follow the
guidelines for all papers in the Written Assignments section of the syllabus.
Your paper must be typed in a 10-12 point font, double-spaced with margins
that are no more than 1 inch. Don’t forget to have a title.
If you don’t have Microsoft Word, save your file as a .txt, .pdf, or .rtf
file. Name your document with one word. For example, I might use
sarah1.doc.
Be concise; don’t clutter your paper with meaningless ‘filler’. Stay on task with
the items you are asked to talk about. “Filler” will only lower your grade.
Do not copy phrases or content from the printed program from your
event, or from any source you use for research. Your own ideas and
reflections are the only ones of any value for these assignments. Think about
what you’ve read and link it with something you saw or heard, then turn it in to
your own statement.
Don’t try to write in a fancy manner. Polish up your natural writing and
speaking style a bit, but keep it your own. Writing is a skill that takes practice.
Use spell check and proofread.
This report is an individual project. It should not be written with other students.
Any papers that are plagiarized will be turned back to the student and an “F”
grade will be given. Make sure to upload your paper to the dropbox and read
your originality report. If your paper is above 5% copied (excluding quotes)
make the necessary changes before re-submitting it into the dropbox. You can
do this up until the due date. For more information for on using turnitin
dropboxes inside of Blackboard and understanding originality reports, click
here.
Questions for a Concert
What kinds of musical concerts are NOT acceptable for this paper?
High school or other children’s performances/recitals, outdoor festival performances,
any type of pop, rock, rap, Latin, country, or reggae, for example, are not appropriate
for this paper. If you’re not sure about your choice, ask me.
Print out and take with you so you can be thinking of the questions as you watch
the show.
1. Head your paper with your first and last name, a title, the name of the
performance, the name of the theater or venue, and date you attended the
performance.
2. Program Notes – most performances have a printed program with printed notes.
Read this before the performance begins and save it for reference when you
write your paper. However, do not copy phrases or content from the printed
program from your event, (except to answer question #3 below) or from
any source you use for research.
3. List the performers and/or the name of the group and the instruments included
in the concert. List all the pieces that were played (see program notes for the
concert), the name of the person who composed and/or arranged each piece,
and the date each work was completed (if possible).
Example:
The Turtle Island String Quartet includes Joe Bloe, first violin; Sarah Marah, second
violin; Topsy Turvy, viola; S. Popping, cello.
Their program:
Still so Cheerful by Sarah Marah, composed in 2001
Getting up Late by S. Popping, composed in 1998
Saturday Night by Berry Berry, composed in 2004
What to Write About:
1. Below are some things you can write about, but the most important is the
MUSIC. You don’t have to write about every piece on the program. Do
write about how the sounds affected you, which voices, selections, or
instruments touched you most, what you learned of interest about the
composer(s), the performing group, and the compositions.
2. Ambience – Every gathering of people has a feeling tone, a mood: This is
the ambience. Notice the people as they come in, find their seats, see
what kinds of clothes they are wearing. Look around the theater; notice
the lighting in the room, the stage area. If you have some particular
feeling about how you fit in, how you feel being a part of it you might
make a comment in your paper.
3. You will understand and appreciate a concert more, and write about it
best if you do a little research. It’s easy to research on the Internet. Type
in the name of the group and a list of websites will pop up. The same is
true for many composers. If the pieces were written in another century
find out what you can about the type of composition, something about
the composer.
4. Music is the most illusive art form. Like the dance, music happens in
real-time: It’s gone as soon as you hear it, and impressions are difficult to
recall. Program notes give you information that is helpful when you
think back on a performance. Program notes give you information about
the composers, the music, and in voice concerts you may have
translations into English of the words in a song.
5. Each composer had a concept, an idea, and chose specific instruments or
voices (types of singers) because of the sounds they make. Listen to how
the instruments and/or singers each have their own kind of tone.
Typically men have deeper voices than women, but in opera the highest
male voice (the tenor) has the same range as the highest female voice
(the soprano). The difference in the way they sound is called tone, or,
timbre.
6. A voice or instrument may sound brilliant, have a warm luster, may be
light or heavy, sweet or somber. Composers use the characteristics of
voices and instruments to create a sound painting that disappears as soon
as it is heard. What you left with are impressions.
7. Stating the type of concert you attended is important.
Chamber music is for three to about twenty musicians.
▪ A symphony orchestra will have from about 45-75 or so
musicians.
▪ Opera is a play set to music with acts, sets, costumes, music
composed by one person and words (the libretto) composed
by another.
▪ Some contemporary music includes synthesizers,
computers, and other technology.
▪ A vocal concert may be one vocalist and a piano. The size
of the group and the voices or instruments involved are
things the composer chose in order to display whatever
sound painting was in his/her mind.
▪ Some groups mix styles and instruments, fusing different
kinds of sounds and styles of music to take off in a new
direction.
▪ The music may be specific to one culture, such as Klezmer
music. Find out about it before you write your paper.
Before or after the concert do some research on the Internet
or use your textbook to help you understand some things
about the music.
8. Generally, in a music concert, some pieces or performers stand out more
than the others. Everyone likes to hear about a special or even
spectacular performance. You can’t write about every detail of every
piece and every performer, so choose what seems most noteworthy.
9. Remember, the concert you attend must be a sit down concert where the
audience faces the staging area and is silent during the performance. The
more you know about the music, the composers, the musicians, the more
your attention will be engaged during the performance. People fall
asleep during performances because the sound painting is streaming by
and they don’t know what to listen to, to listen for; thus, they zone out.
10. Music is extremely important in human existence. It accompanies so
much of life that it is a regular backdrop to our impressions of reality. It
is very different to listen to a concert than it is to let it stream by as
background. What makes the difference is in being informed about what
you are hearing.
