Madam Butterfly Animation

 The animation of Madam Butterfly does a great job at recreating the story. Of course, it doesn't compare to a live show and lacks some human connections, but it shows very strong emotion. The dolls were an interesting way to improvise but don't show the same emotion as the opera. The Opera has methods that embraces several techniques from theatre in Japan which makes it more meaningful. The animation did do a great job at trying to make the dolls seem as human as possible with their interactions, what really caught my eye was how deep the ending was when she killed herself, you could see how much losing her child hurt her.  Ive seen an Opera while visiting my grandparents in Hamburg, Germany and an animation doesn't compare to an in person show, especially one that is as moving as Madam Butterfly.

I found it very interesting that the   cathedra...

Tips for Performance Art Piece

 For my Performance Art piece, Im going to make a video that represents my very interesting background and challenges that are faced with being multiethnic. . I was born in Munich, Germany, I have German and Dominican parents. I want to somehow incorporate my background into this video showing my transition from living in Germany, to moving to the US and having to adjust to a whole new lifestyle and learn a new language. I want my project to show the transition of myself from then to now. To do this, I want to find pictures of myself that show my childhood compared to who I am now and videos that can help others understand more. I hope that this piece will educate people on the cultural, physical and mental changes that can occur when your life changes all of a sudden.  https://www.collettivovv.org/importance-performing-arts-well-human-society/ I found this article that talks about the benefits of performance art and ways to make your presentation more meaningful.
