THEA 201 FINAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH SOLU TIONS 2024 Think back on your personal experience with theatre. Perhaps you have attended a great deal of theatre in the past, or perhaps you have even participated, either onstage or behind the scenes. It is perfectly fine if you have never been to a live theatre pe rformance. Think about other kinds of live performances you have attended, whether it was a musical concert, a circus, a religious ceremony, or even a parade. Describe a memorable experience that you have had while attending or performing in some form of l ive performance. - ANSWER I have gone to several musical concerts and also been a part of a few theatre productions in the city that I grew up in. I recall one instance in which I was apart of the "High School Musical 2: Live" at a theatre in Memphis and i t was very fun. I remember having to rush to change costumes and remember my lines and things and it being such a challenge for me being only around eight or nine. Being apart of that really made me realize how theatre was not my forte, although I had quite a lot of fun being apart of it. What are your favorite shows to binge watch? Why? - ANSWER I love to watch Grey's Anatomy. The show constantly has plot twists and brings in new people to never let the show get boring. It is mostly not about the surgeries that the doctors do, but about th e personal lives of the workers and how challenging it is to be a surgeon. I also love to binge Criminal Minds. Criminal Minds is such a great show, even though the structure of it is the same with every episode. It is so fascinating to hear of all the thi ngs they discuss, since most of the scenarios are based on real life cases. I want you to think about a "story" from your own life...something that happened to you or someone close to you that affects how you think about yourself. This could be the story of how your parents met, the night you were born, how you met your best frien d or significant other, how you decided what to study in college, or some other story that pertains to you in some way. - ANSWER During my senior year, my grandmother got sick and she fell and broke her hip due to a stroke. This caused her to go into the hospital and then rehab, and she was doing better. I enjoyed taking care of her and being there for her and kind of nursing her back to health, but sadly we got some bad news in October 2019. She got colon cancer that spread to her liver, and she immediatel y went into hospice and was given 4 to 6 months to live. From that point on my parents and I and my grandfather took care of her whenever we could, I would check out of school and take care of her and things like that and this really made me want to pursue nursing. She passed away during the second week of November, and shortly after this my mom got sick. My mom was very nauseous and lost about 50 pounds in the span of three months and she was in and out of the hospital several times but nobody could figure out what was wrong with her. In February 2020, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This was a life -changing moment and it dramatically changed my quarantine for most every other persons. I took care of her every day and night and had to be at her ev ery beck and call pretty much. She made it to my graduation in late June, however she quickly declined after that and passed in early July of this year. When you tell this story to new people that you meet, what is it that you want them to understand about you by your telling it? - ANSWER I don't really tell the story very often but it's something that's been really weighing on me recently. Being at colleg e in a new environment with the recent loss of my mom is some thing that nobody should have to go through. If I do tell about it to other people, it's not to get pity from them or for them to feel bad for me it's probably just because they've seen me cryin g or something like that. I don't really want people to ever think that I just want them to feel bad for me because that's not the case at all. I sometimes tell people about my situation if we are all talking about it and just being deep and real with each other, but I don't just voluntarily say it to everyone new that I meet. Its still a very sensitive subject but everyday is easier than the last. Think again about the performance you wrote about when you began this chapter. How did this performance comprise "showing doing?" What experiences and ideas were on display in this performance?" - ANSWER In that performance, we acted out the roles of the p eople that were in "high school musical two" the movie. We showcase the emotions of the actors that we were portraying, and played out the scenes to the best of our abilities in order to give the audience an accurate presentation of what the actual movie w as like. We practiced for weeks and weeks to make sure that the performance was the best of our abilities, and that it was as realistic as possible. There was a strong sense of commitment among the entire cast, as everybody wanted to make sure the performa nce was the best it could possibly be. What is Art? How would you define it, keeping in mind that your definition would apply to painting, sculpture, and architecture, but also to music, dance, and theatre? - ANSWER I consider art to be a way to express emotions and feelings through a painting or a sculpture, or something like a song or a choreographed dance. In good art, you can really get a sense of what the artist or the painter or the dancer is feeling in their current life and you can relate to them and be able to feel what they feel. A good artist can get their audience to feel the way that they felt while creating that piece of art. Art is a way of life for some people, and observing art is a staple attraction for many people in this generation and in this time. Art has been able to preser ve at South throughout centuries and it has transform dramatically throughout the centuries as well. Art is something that never dies and it never will, it will always thrive and it is something that is a staple to any culture worldwide. Arts such as sculpture and music have long been regarded as creative achievements, but our definition of art is always growing and expanding. One particularly interesting debate over the last few decades has been whether or not food can be a medium for art . Many cooks who pursue a career in food preparation get degrees in "Culinary Arts," although the term may just be a holdover from a time when the definition of art had more to do with skill than imagination. Nevertheless, food can perform some of the func tions we have discussed here. For this journal, I want you to think of a meal you have had that was very special. Maybe it was cooked at home or maybe it was something you ordered at a restaurant; it may even be something you ate at a catered event, like a wedding. - ANSWER When I was little my mom used to make this casserole every Sunday night. It was a sausage casserole, and it had sausage and breadcrumbs and noodles and all of these delicious ingredients in it that made it so amazing. We would make this casserole and sit on the couch and watch this movie called a dreamer. My dad and my mom and I would do this every Sunday night for dinner for almost a year, and it was a very special time for us as a family. Whenever I would ask my mom to make th is dish it would be such a special thing and she eventually taught me how to make it myself. We would make this together as I got older, and it was such a fun experience for us to be able to bond and cook together. It's something that I remember to this da y and it's such a fun memory, especially since she's not here with us anymore. She knew it was my favorite dish and she always made it without hesitation, and it brought her so much joy to make this dish for me and see how much I appreciated her and everyt hing she did. My mom is one of the most selfless people I've ever met and this is a memory that is at the forefront of my mind when I think of her. She did this for many many years until I could make it myself, and then I started making it for my parents. At the beginning of this chapter, I asked you to define art. Now I want you to respond more personally by choosing a particular kind of art you like —a type of music, a style of painting, a genre of literature —and describe what it is you like about it. Feel free to be subjective in your answer —this is about beginning to articulate your own personal criteria. - ANSWER A type of art that I enjoy most would be music. Personally, I think that music is a very personal and emotion -filled experience that makes many people feel different ways depending on the type of music. Music helps you bond with other people and you can bond over type of music that you enjoy the type of music that you don't like, and it can help you feel encouragement during rough times. You can also make you feel extremely confident and feel good about yourself when you're feeling down about your appearance. Also, when you're feeling down and need that little extra push to cry, Music is always there for you to give you that little push if you nee d it. If you just become friends with somebody, you can bond over music that you both enjoy and blasted in your car or over speaker in your house. A lot of friendships start in a car or at a party, and you can really enjoy your time with somebody if y'all are listening the same type of music and enjoy it. Music is a very powerful source of art and it can change lives, improve moods, or help create lifelong friendships. Why is the second story so much more interesting than the first? What does it have that sustains your attention? Identify three things that the second story does that the first one does not. - ANSWER For me, the second story interested me more because it h ad more details about the journey to get the ice cream and it was relatable to young adults in their pursuit of ice cream. For most people, when you get in the mood for ice cream, its like you HAVE to have it immediately so that was very relatable. It had eye-catching descriptions and relatable phrases that caught my attention much better than the first story. The second story contained more emphasis on the ice cream than saving money, as the first one did. It also was much more relatable and entertaining t han the first story, and it had much more eye -catching adjectives as well. mimesis - ANSWER imitation verisimilitude - ANSWER believability
