Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century. Noblemen and women were treated to lavish events, especially wedding celebrations, where dancing and music created an elaborate spectacle. Dancing masters taught the steps to the nobility, and the court participated in the performances. Terms like ballet and ball stem from the Italian word 'ballare,' which means 'to dance.' By 1661, a dance academy had opened in Paris, and in 1681 ballet moved from the courts to the stage....

“Hunting Bigfoot” was the first play I have ever seen, other than the Dracula play they did in high school when I was a freshman.

My first thoughts when being introduced to the play were that it’d be a play about people literally going out and hunting down bigfoot,...

The history of photography is deeply rooted in a constant debate about its status as an “Art” or a “craft”. The history of photography is credited as beginning with the discovery of two fundamental principles. That of camera obscura and the observation that some materials are altered by exposure to light (Hirsch, 200). Photography, as it is understood today, can be thought of as beginning in the seventeenth century with Johannes Kepler's understanding of the optics of camera obscura with...

It’s only because of perpetual hard work and the firm beliefs of people like Sojourner Truth, Alice Paul, Martin Luther King Jr, and many more that the franchise of voting rights was expanded to include people of color and women. Democracy cannot be taken for granted. It involves...

Many of Shakespeare’s plays included transvestism in order to progress the plot. Transvestism, commonly known as cross-dressing, is the practice of wearing the clothes of the opposite sex. During the time Shakespeare wrote these plays, women lived in a very restrictive society. Female actors were banned, so female characters were played by male actors. Regardless, all of Shakespeare’s plays during that time would have had to include cross-dressers. (Bullion 2). Similar to the plays of Shakespeare, transvestism was also a...

Dickens’ 1863 journalistic essay ‘Some Recollections of Mortality’ (hereafter: ‘Mortality’) explores the human fascination with death, and the wretched conditions in which it often occurs. By comparing his essay to passages concerning death in Oliver Twist (1837–1839), interesting observations can be made particularly about the carelessness regarding death, ways to look upon it, and death as spectacle within contemporary popular culture. Carelessness towards the dead...
