Jack Welch was the CEO and President of GE for many years. During his tenure, he transformed GE from a marginally profitable company, to one that enjoyed either a number one or number two position in each of its market segments.

After Welch retired, he wrote many books that outlined his business and management philosophies, and how he had ruled the GE Empire successfully, and ...

The play I saw was “The Producers.” I saw it at Saginaw Valley State University. I saw it on April 11, 2014. The play was inspiring and as close to the original Broadway production as I could have hoped for at a university showing.
The actors went off the original script; the playwright for “The Producers” is Mel Brooks. The play is also a musical, which contained the original composition done by Mel Brooks, as well. As it turns out, Mel Brooks was also the lyricist of the play. The play was written in 1968 and is representational and ...

Early French cinema provided the art of film with many innovations, among them creative usage of camera techniques that allowed the medium to set itself apart from theatre. In the case of two of the most prominent examples of this genre of film – Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game and Marcel Carne’s Children of Paradise – the camera is used in intensely creative ways to indicate everything from the subtle humor of class conflict to the brutal and tragic accidental murder of a human being. These films are particularly influential in the use of camera technique to ...

Movie review

For this assignment I have watched the movie Holes. The movie composition is rather interesting. The plexus of two stories that happened with a hundred years difference allowed the director keep intrigue until the very end. When watching the movie, it is not clear what will happen next. Moreover, I should admit that the ending of the movie is very surprising. In one of the last scenes, when Zero and Stanley found the treasure, everyone awaited that it would be the Kissing Kate’s treasures. Indeed, the treasure belonged to Stanley Yelnats. Moreover, another surprising scene followed the previous ...

The aim of this essay is to explain what it means to perform on stage and how our perception of it has changed under the influence of the contemporary theatre-makers.

Introduction

Theater is one of the oldest forms of entertainment in the history of mankind. Even the ancient Greek philosophers, Aristotle and Plato, argued about the nature and purpose of theater(Downs, Wright and Ramsey 7). Perhaps the reason behind its long lasting persistence is because theater is a complicated and multi-dimensional work of art that when done correctly can truly speak to the deepest parts of the human soul. But for it to be done correctly, multiple aspects should be taken care of. This paper will discuss three of those aspects, namely writing, directing, and acting.

Between 1945 and 1985, the musical genre of rock and roll underwent many changes, and evolved quickly, from a stylistic perspective. It is significant to understand the genre, as it has reflected social changes, and has also influenced social changes.

In the 1940s, rock and roll was just beginning to blossom. A mixture of rhythm and blues, country, and big band jazz, rock and roll was mostly typified by an early prototype ...

Film analysis of "Alain Resnais - Night and Fog (1956)" and "Jean Luc Godard - Breathless (1959)"
Each movie is a small story. Each movie carries its own information. Each movie opens the whole world to the viewer, no matter if it is full-length film or a short film or even a documentary. Still, it gives a chance to make own decisions about some particular moments.

In the film Hotel Rwanda, the main acting technique used was the Stanislavski's Method of acting.

As for the cinematography, the spectator pays his attention to the montage technique: a good example is the director’s depicting of Kane’s relationships with both his wives – they are shot alone either ...

Liberalism, on the other hand, is a worldview founded on the ideas of equality and liberty. Any student or any person interested in international relations should study the basic foundations of it. Among the most prevalent theories in international relations are realism and liberalism.

People have the feeling of understanding the soliloquy in a better manner. The reader feels like an actor reading the script rather than a man having thoughts to him. It is ...

Non-state actors are organizations, institutions or individuals that have strong political, social, and economic power that enables them to influence relations at both the national and international level. However, they do not identify with any country. Cunningham and Pearlman define non-state actors ...

Though we do all not get to live up to our dreams in the grandest way, my preferred field would be the performing arts. Moreover, if I entertained my wildest notions, I would want to work for Cirque du Soleil. They combine the hilarity, spirit, and fun of a circus with the elegance and art of adult theater. Not only that, but they provide worldly opportunities for performers while remaining highly ethical in the face of many similarly profitable corporations. In the face of social pressure, rather than fold, they rise to the occasion, allowing the public to influence ...

Power is the process of production, especially through social relations, of the effects that shape capacities of participants. This is normally in an attempt of determining their fate and circumstances. The concept of power forms the core of many international relations. Power entails two vital analytical dimensions. The first dimension is the kind of social relations under which power works; in either relation of interactions or social relations of social constitution. The second dimension is the social relations’ specificity through which effects are mitigated; diffuse/indirect or direct/specific. These distinctions bring about the taxonomy and four main concepts of power: ...

The live music piece I attended took place in a music hall. It was brightly lit, and of ample size, with a stage that allotted for more than what was necessary for the small amount of players, ranging from brass to woodwind instruments. The audience was quiet and respectful, though it appeared that they shared the same responses as I did, ranging from contemplative to irritated, throughout the piece. The audience, as well as myself, were dressed in casually formal attire, as if we were attending a school recital or a semi-fancy restaurant. They did not seem generally enthused ...

Black Swan is a melodrama movie in which shows a passionate intensity, darkly and gloriously bizarre. There are a many things that I like in this movie. However, there are also parts of the movie that I consider as an opportunity to its creator. Primarily, the movie casts are the actors whom I really idolize when it comes to portraying their roles. I like Natalie Portman’s way of representing her character. The reason I like her portrayal in the movie is that she did it in an exceptional way. It could be hard for other actors to portray ...

In the New York Summit that aimed at addressing climatic change issues, the actor who was invited and played a key role was Leonardo DiCaprio. He told leaders to either make history or be vilified. By telling leaders to make history, the actor implied that leaders could save the climatic situation. Through their inputs in addressing the climatic issues affecting the common person, leaders can make history. On the other hand, when leaders neglect the climatic change issues, they can be defamed, and there will be nothing to celebrate for in the history.

Both "Victor Hugo's Ted Talk" and Bruno Latour make a case, in their own respective manners, about the significance of the agency of acting in art and architecture. Hugo, with his 19th-century assertion that "Architecture is information", could have landed himself a spot as a TED speaker. Latour, using the metaphor of acting, argues that actors in any given scenario exhibit more complex agencies than social theorists, with a limited metaphysical vocabulary, can possibly describe.
Latour propounds his Actor-Network Theory (ANT), stating that once an actor, or "actant", invents a technology such as the computer as a result of ...

Motion in the basic and simple functions in a movie or artistic work is to break the monotony that could accrue from still scenes. When the actors and actresses move about during the film, it helps the viewer or the audience in general to accept and appreciate newer scenes that would be equally interesting. This is one benefit that the motion has over still scenes and still films, where all the scenes are acted, or role played in a still or stagnant place.

The film Last Vegas, directed by Jon Turteltaub, was released in 2013. It stars cinematic heavyweights like Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline.
