The Yao Culture!

Today, at Stratford college I watched an interesting performance from the traveling group of Chinese performers, Yao culture. The audience seemed to get very involved with the performance, clapping along to the beat and at the end a member of the audience beat one of the Chinese performers at pushing a pole. The singers were brilliant and the contrast in pitch between the men and the women was brilliant and the harmonization between them was excellent. Two of the men were doing acrobatics with a pole and they were flipping over each other. 


The costumes they were wearing consisted of baggy red trousers a red t-shirt which was a few sizes to big and both parts of the costume had a few bells on them the really spectacular part of their costume was their hilarious hats which i would compare to a jesters hat as they were bright blue with tiny bells jingling whenever they moved.


In conclusion I didnt enjoy this performance as i found it boring.     

Review of a media event: Toy story 3

 

Toy story 3 was one of those rare but utterly brilliant second sequels, it had it all, a great storyline, brilliant animation, comedy levels which were through the roof, and tense scenes of heartfelt emotion all in all it was a brilliant ending to the Toy Story Trilogy, And a great movie for children (and adults) of all ages.

The AMC theatre in Disney World Florida

I watched Toy story at the AMC Theatre in Downtown Disney, Florida it was a Spectacular cinema with 12 screens so theres always something on for everyone. Even before your movie begins you are drawn in to this magnificent art deco styled building inspired by some movie theatres of the 1920s.

I particularly enjoyed this experience because the soundtrack was very upbeat and happy, the movie got everyone laughing, alot of people crying and it kept us stuck on the edge of our seats wondering what will happen next. I also believe that the Americans show much more emotion by topping off the whole cinema experience by applauding at the end of the screening something which is almost alien to us here in Britain.
