Cherry Bomb: Insanity

            In My New Works class we were assigned group to perform a media production about movement.  My group's name was Cherry Bomb because I (Celeste Robbins) was the director and I have red hair.  Also the assistant director and main actress was also a red head and her name was Dominique Grogan.  We had to do our project off of a quote. Our quote was "Every reform movement has a lunatic fring" by Theodore Roosevelt.  This gave us the idea to use a CRAZY theme, like LUNATIC in the quote.  Our project was about a girl who is with her therapist (Nicquala Shields) because she sees movement in in her brain.  We did clips of ourselves moving around and dancing all around our school at Booker T. Washington.  Also we put in some clips of the characters doing some of their characteristic attitude.  One of the actresses in our movies were Neida Razavi and she was in a clip counting randomly to make the effect of the insanity more apparent.  Also Jade Jacobs, and me, Celeste Robbins, danced in the scene where all of our group was running around like crazy people.  Also during the editing portion of the project our Lead Actress Dominique made a whole music track by her self from scratch. Yes this does mean WE HAD OUR OWN ORIGINAL MUSIC! It was a really great track too!

Film Review

Shhh, Its A Secret: The video was really nice, but I wish the dancer used its facial expressions more. I love the music and I love the background music. It was really original in the idea.

The flinstones: I love the idea it was so original! I wish It was longer! It was based on a pebble can change the ocean. I love the whole concept. It was very nice. It was boring though.

The Void: I love the concept of the shadow silouette of the dancing! I wish getting the block of wood off the table was short in a time period. I love the music in the backround, but I wished the musicians work harder on making better music. Also I love at the end when the block of wood went back on the table. It was really cool!

The Move Crew: I love the ending how they made the clip go backwards of him walking. It was really good, but I wish when the music that you could still hear the girl talk. I love the idea of the un-steadiness in the camera movement! I loved the idea.

Cherry Bomb: This was my group! I wish we could have done better at the speaking louder at the beginning.

Crazy Hair:  I wish I could have learn the story line!

Motion Hands: I love the music in the backround, but I wish IT had more of a story line!

Circles Of DOOM

Paul Baker

Paul Baker, who founded the Dallas Theater Center in 1959 and was the first principal of Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He believed is the use of space in the arts. For example, you use space in the art of dance a lot of the time. The works space for dance has to be big enough for all of the dancers to have enough space to dance full out. If the dancers do not have enough space they will collide into each other and they will not be able to dance fully. Also the art of dance uses space by how the dancers move through the space. Space can also be involved with visual arts as well. Visual art has to be drawn on a canvas of some sort and the canvas can be considered a space that the artist is drawing on. Paul Baker also believed that the music can fill up a space by the volume of the sounds. The theater also uses space by having the actresses and actors by how they project to the audience. They also fill up the space by the props that they may use. Paul Baker considered all of these ideas when he worked as the principal at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.  Paul Baker was a very influential person on the way the arts used space.

Movement

This past Nu-Works class we learned about movement with one of my dance teachers, Mr. Richards. He made us improve using movement while he was saying quotes about movement. One thing he said is "Symmetry is lifeless." This means to me that things that are the same are not as interesting or living as things that are moving or things that are different. See, Symmetry means the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis or correct or pleasing proportion of the parts of a thing, but honestly movement is the exact opposite of symmetry. Movement is not lifeless, nor does movement ever stay the same.

Also when the students were talking and they were not supposed to be he would tells us that the only way we shall be speaking is through our body. He also called the students who talked not though their body Ostriches. I was never an ostrich which I am thankful of. I guess he called them that because ostriches are very loud animals when they make noise.

Who?

Okay so I have had this blog for a long time now and haven't even posted anything about who I am. I love to dance and I hope to go into a career with it. I really hope to so I decided to go to Booker T Washington High School for Performing and Visual Art. This school helps you get ready for auditions and really helps  your training to. I am so grateful to be going to this school because it gives you so many opratunities. Anyways I train outside of school at Beyond Belief Dance. My dance teacher gives me the best training I can get and I am very grateful for that too. The people that dance with me at my studio are like my second family and I love them. Our dance team is very good at what we do and I am not just saying this when we are not. We really are good, we have been on television and have gone to world of dance this past year. We get better every year and that is really what matters. But yeah I love to dance. I have red hair, but I t isn't natural. I died it the summer after sixth grade( btw. I am a  freshman) So I have had it for a long time. My red hair looks natural though, because of my freckles and blue eyes. My favorite color is purple and green (I can not decide) Which is ironic because those are my dance studio's colors.
MY PERSONALITY
I am very outgoing and loud. I am loud when I am around my friends, but quiet when I need to be respectful. I always am trying to meet new people and friends. I am always the person in my group of friends that they dare to do outragious things in public. Like I said I am very out going.
Well That is pretty much it.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, The founder of Apple, died yesterday. He is a real inspiration to me because he made such GREAT products. He was fighting pancreatic cancer for a very long time, but the cancer finally won the battle. I am inspired by him because he did so much while he was going through this journey.  He is such a great person.

Yeah this is my Madonna Look!(:

September 30, 2011: 80s DAY

So today at school we had a dress up day (80s day) and I decided to embrace my inner MADONNA! I look really good! Well not that I am full  of my self but I really do look good! But at lunch I was super angry because I forgot my lunch in my car and I had to buy my lunch at school. Lets just say that our school lunch isn't very edible..
But anyways I was really angry at lunch! I had to wait in line for almost 30 minutes then as soon as I sit down all of my friends tell me to go on stage. I didn't know why this was but I still went up there. Then I found out that there was a costume contest! Everyone yelled and clapped so I could win! And I did winn!
I felt really super duper cool! (:

Having a great day!

Celeste Robbins view on space.

The Word is..

In Nu-works we were studying Paul Baker who writes about using space in performances.  We got to go to different teachers talking about moving through space, using the space, and filling up space. I think it is important to use space because you can move through space through the art of dance (My outlet of choice), or you can just walk, run, skip or something of that nature though space. You can also fill up a space maybe by drawing on a sheet of paper. Say that the sheet of paper is the space and by drawing on it you are filling up the space, so that is how that works.
Nu-works is a class where we learn about different arts in our school and we learn about technology too.
We combine our arts to make a LOVELY AWESOME MIX OF EPIC PROPORTION!
