Waltz of the Snowflakes Royal Ballet

Published on Feb 6, 2015

The Royal Ballet perform the Waltz of the Snowflakes in The Nutcracker, with Meaghan Grace Hinkis as Clara, Ricardo Cervera as the Nutcracker and Gary Avis as Drosselmeyer.

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker score was commissioned by the director of the Russian Imperial Theatres, following the resounding success of Sleeping Beauty in 1890. Marius Petipa created the scenario – based on a fairytale by E. T. A. Hoffman – and Lev Ivanov provided the choreography. The Nutcracker was first performed in 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. It initially had a poor reception, but its combination of enchanting choreography and an unforgettable score have since made it one of the best-loved of all ballets.

In Peter Wright's classic production, the stage sparkles with theatrical magic – a Christmas tree grows before our eyes, toy soldiers come to life to fight the villainous Mouse King and Clara is whisked to the Land of Sweets on a golden sleigh. Tchaikovsky's score contains some of the best-known melodies in ballet, from the flurrying sounds of the Waltz of the Snowflakes to the dream-like Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the vigorous Russian Dance. Julia Trevelyan Oman's designs draw upon 19th-century images of Christmas, making this a classic production for the festive season.

The choreography is so beautiful and dynamic, the Tchaikovsky's music, the set, the costumes - it's just perfect!!!!

Titanic 3D - Official Trailer [HD]

   

Published on Apr 18, 2009
 

Deep-sea explorer Brock Lovett has reached the most famous shipwreck of all - the Titanic. Emerging with a safe believed to contain a diamond called 'The Heart of the Ocean', he discovers the safe does not hold the diamond but a drawing of a beautiful woman wearing it. When Brock is later interviewed on TV, he shows the drawing to the cameras, and a 100-year-old woman named Rose Calvert living in Michigan recognizes the woman in the drawing - herself! On a visit to Brock's explorer ship over the wreck, Rose tells her story of the Titanic and its ill-fated voyage. Engaged to a would-be steel magnate, Caledon Hockley, she boards the Titanic's first-class suites with him & her mother in Southampton. Also boarding are Jack Dawson & his friend Fabrizio, after a lucky poker game wins them tickets in steerage. When Rose attempts suicide by jumping off the stern in 3rd class, Jack pulls her back onto the ship...and a bond is forged between them as Jack is invited by her into 1st-class the following day. Rose's mother & Cal Hockley try desperate measures to keep them apart. But that strategy goes out the window when the Titanic collides with an iceberg, and due to a design flaw begins to sink - despite being proclaimed 'unsinkable'. Now Rose & Jack must fight to stay alive, but is young Jack already doomed because of his lower status as a steerage passenger? Written by Derek O'Cain

Titanic is one of my favorite all time movies. This movie interviews Rose as she tells her story about what happened during her experience. It involves objective views so you have a third person view of the experience. The movie has cutting with in the frame to avoid editing. A lot of the scenes share the same backgrounds. It is a very intense movie. A lot of scares, anger, and many tears throughout this movie. If you have yet to see this movie I definitely recommend you rent it today.

Romeo And Juliet - Balcony Scene (School Play Gala)

This Was Healed in Rodelsa Hall Theater Owned by Liceo de cagayan University, Philippines. the director mixed some comedy in the play.


Who doesn't love Romeo and Juliet. I fell in love when I first watched the movie many years ago. When we had this assignment this was the first to come to mind. The balcony scene when Juliet was expressing her love for Romeo. It is sad that their family has so much hatred towards one another that it lead to the death of two young lovers. The scene was a mix of sadness for their family issues with a little comedy twist. 

ALONE

 

Lying, thinking

Last night

How to find my soul a home

Where water is not thirsty

And bread loaf is not stone

I came up with one thing

And I don't believe I'm wrong

That nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

There are some millionaires

 With money they can't use

Their wives run round like banshees

Their children sing the blues

They've got expensive doctors

To cure their hearts of stone.

But nobody No, nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely

I'll tell you what I know

Storm clouds are gathering

The wind is gonna blow

The race of man is suffering

And I can hear the moan,

'Cause nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone

"Alone" starts off with the speaker doing some serious soul-searching. She's feeling pretty isolated, but she thinks she just might have come up with an answer to her problems: people need community in order to get by.

As it turns out, money won't buy you happiness. Even the very, very rich get lonely. So, don't try to make more money. Make friends instead.

 

The speaker fashions herself into something like a prophet, warning the "race of man" that things aren't about to get any easier anytime soon. The solution is (all together now….) to realize that no one can make it on their own!

 

This poem is very deep. To me it expresses how no matter how much money you have life is not based on materialistic things but the love and friendship we gain from others. To have everything in the world means nothing if you have no one to share life with. No one wants to grow old alone. When we die we take nothing with us but the loving memories we shared with our loved ones.

 

Time will reveal-Debarge

"Time Will Reveal" is a song recorded by R&B family quintet DeBarge and released as the first single off the group's third album, In a Special Way, it was also the group's biggest hit prior to the group's 1985 hit, "Rhythm of the Night" and also became one of the most covered R&B singles.

This song I actually got the idea from a friend. I listened to it and I literally cried over it. I don't know if it was my hormones from being pregnant or just the words spoken. It just had me in my feelings thinking about love, true love and how in time it will all be revealed. I take this song in two different ways. One as a couple who are friends but secretly in love. Or as two past lovers who are still in love with one another but the timing never seems to be right. Therefore they await until life brings the two back in each others paths. Only time will reveal. 

The Guggenheim

 

The Guggenheim Museum in New York is the first museum established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, dedicated to modern art. Founded in 1937 in Upper East Side, NY, it is the best known of all the museums of the foundation, and is often called simply "The Guggenheim".

At the beginning it was called the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, and was founded to showcase avant-garde art of early modern artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian. In 1959 it moved to the place where it is now (the corner of 89th STreet and 5th Avenue, opposite Central Park), and built the building designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

The building itself became a work of art. From the street, the building looks like a white ribbon rolled into a cylindrical shape, slightly wider at the top than at the bottom. Internally, the galleries form a spiral. Thus, the visitor sees the work as you walk up the illuminated spiral ramp. Its design was inspired by a "Ziggurat" Babylonian temple pyramid, inverted.

The Museum Guggenhein exhibits a great difference to the buildings in the vicinity because of its spiral shape, marked by the mergeing of triangles, ovals, arcs, circles and squares, which correspond to the concept of organic architecture used by Frank Lloyd Wright in his designs.

Structure:
This building has a spiral structure featuring a large exhibition hall lit by a skylight.

Materials:
The materials used in its construction were basically precast concrete blocks.

The white paint used on the internal walls makes the works of art stand out.

The skylight is supported by steel joints.

I love the look of this architecture. The circular shape it holds and the lightning is absolutely amazing. Structures like this is not seen often where I live. I love unique forms as in this one.

Under the Yoke (Burning the Brushwood) 1893

 

This painting is a scene in Lapinlahti, Northern Savo. The tradition of burn-beating was being practiced in this area. It was painted by Ero Jarnefelt. He drew sketches and took photographs of men and women at work. This painting was done using oil on canvas. It captures the beautiful background of the water and has great details on the struggles they faced. The blackened girl's face with soot added surrounding halo smoke and painted such reproach in her eyes that appealed to my heart on behalf of these heavily burden people.

External Springtime 1901

 

This sculpture was created by Auguste Rodin in 1901. It now stands at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. This sculpture has a figure of two people showing deep love and affection for one another. It uses carrara marble as its medium. This sculpture is full round giving you views of every angle. Its texture is both soft and rough. The softness of the two bodies joined together and the roughness of the rock they share their passionate kiss on. I chose this sculpture due to the passion and deep connection the two shared. It gives one hope that true love like this may still exist.
