When you walk into an open dance studio where dancers go to practise it's very easy to separate the hip-hop dancers from the ballet dancers and the hip hop dancers from the b-boys and b-girls from the way they dress. The hip-hop dancers in their baggy shorts or pants and cool caps. The ballet dancers in their perfectly arranged outfits and the b

There is something very magical about Broadway. You will find many different people who act in various roles on Broadway musicals and shows. For these people there is nothing more exhilarating than to be in one of these productions and to know that a show is in great demand. The people who can be seen the most in these various shows are the Broadwa

We normally associate Disney Land with fun and frolic and kids. Apart from entertainment, Disney land has contributed its bit to education of the young in one way or the other. One such program, Disneyland Magic Music Days program, is an educational program for students of music, vocal arts, or dance. Your group has the chance to demonstrate its

A lack of understanding does not necessarily create a sense of mystery. A confusing magic effect is a perfect example of this. (Though "a confused magic effect" may be a more accurate phrase because there are far fewer inherently confusing effects than there are confusing ways of presenting effects.) If you share an effect with your audience and un

I love the intimacy of close-up magic and especially the challenging work of maintaining a variety of relationships with several people at the same time. This maintenance is achieved in many ways, though ultimately much of it comes down to sigh, sound and touch. Glances, words and physical contact. Of course, very few routines are constructed

Below are nine principles regarding the audience's visual experience of a performance of magic. Magicians that understand these principles will know how to work their routine in harmony with these principles, ultimately creating a more successful production. 1- During the performance of an effect the audience is always looking somewhere. 2-

Up for some music? Want to see your favorite music performer in action? Love the live experience of a concert? Detroit's capacity for handling big crowds and drawing the biggest names in music makes it a prime destination for concert-goers. This is Motown after all - the city where the likes of Stevie Wonder and the Supremes launched their careers.

From arts, to culture, to animals there are tons of fairs in the Pittsburgh area that allow you to have plenty of fun all in one area. Add to festivals and fairs Kennywood

The darkening financial climate is pretty much unavoidable at the minute. If you're not queuing up at the supermarket spending 15% more for half a dozen eggs than you would have done five minutes ago, then 150 journalists and financial advisors are lined up round the block to tell you about it. Fuel costs are rocketing to record new heights and

Most of us are aware of 3D animation features and techniques. We also know that they are widely employed in entertainment sectors in different ways.3D animation in general refer to the art of creating and modifying the images. Its entry can be traced back to as early as 90s when the first 3D animated by film "Toy Story" was released. A lot of chang

The Fringe Festival has been in existence for just as long as the Edinburgh Festival proper. Both inceptions are inextricably knitted together and began life bound up way back in 1947. Our story begins when what can only sufficiently be described as a mob of eight theatre companies turned up uninvited to the newly formed Edinburgh International Fes

I recently saw an Origami set for sale in a toy shop near me. I was very surprised, because as I remembered it, Origami is the art of paper folding. You don't need any scissors, or glue, or fancy bits - just a sheet of paper. I was intrigued, and wondered how toy manufacturers could get away with selling a pack of paper as an Origami set. I conside

We're all familiar with the idea of a sportsperson or singer or band exploding onto the scene and making a big impact. Dancers and choreographers tend to be more behind-the-scenes than a footballer or music artist but when a choreographer makes it big, it can have just as big an impact on the dancing community. A choreographer's role is to devis

Perfection? Yes, perfection. A night at the theater has the potential of approaching absolute perfection. The reason is simple. Theater is something that just about everyone can identify with, get lost in and enjoy. A live theatrical performance is like a movie on performance enhancing drugs. You'll be effortlessly drawn into a live show like water

My advice is, if you don't already do SOME kind of sponge magic you are NUTS! Almost nothing is stronger than when people open their hand and those extra sponges appear. It always takes them "right back to wonder." I worked with classic red balls for years, but I got sick and tired of playing hide and seek with them when they rolled off the
