Medvedev, O. N., & Landhuis, C. E. (2018). Exploring constructs of well-being, happiness, and quality of life. PeerJ, 6, e4903. In contemporary society, definitions of quality of life, happiness, and the aspects of well-being are considered to relate and overlap each other depending on the context. The purpose of this study is to explore and establish the relationship that endures between these constructs by utilizing various measures, attributed to satisfactory psychometric properties. The study will require 180 university students to complete OHQ (Oxford Happiness Questionnaire), questionnaire from WHO, and the life satisfaction scale as well. The questionnaires were distributed and concluded in the theatre room by all selected participants. After analyzing the data using regression, SPSS, correlation, and EFA, the result revealed a positive relationship between life satisfaction, psychological domains of quality of life, and positive affect. Based on the research findings, environmental and social spheres were considered poor predictors of both subjective well-being and happiness after subjecting psychological quality of life under control.

Theatre Production Paper I attended a musical production by Broadway and directed by Bobb Fosse. Music and lyrics in the play was done by Stephen Schwartz and narrated by Ben Vereen, who is also the leading player. The other characters in the play are Benjamin Rayson(the King), Wiliam Katt(Pippin), Leslie Denniston(the widow), Martha Raye(Pippin’s grandmother), and Chita Rivera(Pippin’s stepmother). The play is about a young prince who had big ambitions in life other than being royalty. He was adventurous and quite passionate about this thing called life. This is seen as he struggles so much to get the attention of his father, the King. Throughout the play, the King is portrayed as either being too preoccupied with issues royalty or drunk. Hence he has no listening ear to the young prince. The prince then decides to go to war, an opportunity that Chita Rivera takes to eliminate both father and son to pave the way for her son to be King. The costumes used in the play depicts the different roles played by the characters. The King, for instance, is…

It was during the international box-office success and the awake of Sergio Leone’s film-making style. The American critics used the term Spaghetti Western and also those in other countries as the Italians produced and directed most of these Western. According to Aldo Sambrell, the veteran Spaghetti actor, the “Spaghetti Western” was invented by Alfonso Sanchez, a Spanish journalist. The typical Spaghetti Western team consisted of Italo-Spanish technical staff, an Italian director, and a cast of Italian, Germany, Spanish, and American actors. The majority of Spaghetti Western filmed between the years 1964 and 1978 were made on small budgets and shot at various locations around Spain and southern Italy and Cinecitta studios.

“The strength of the team is each member,” said Phil Jackson “The strength of the team is each member,” said Phil Jackson. “The strength of each member is the team.” From October 8th to October 13th, I was at a festival with a group of five individuals, including myself, and I’ve learned a large number of lessons from the event. Each of us had a unique role that helped put the entire event in place. From picking an idea for our five-minute short film to dreading to send in the final work a minute before the deadline was a nerve-wracking but an enjoyable educational experience of filming. When I was in high school, I didn’t get myself involved in activities, especially opportunities at my school’s theatre and drama club due to my social anxiety at its’ strongest. When I came to Virginia Wesleyan University, I promised myself to get involved in the theatre and the performing arts program and to communicate with fellow students that have the same interests as I do. Earlier in the fall semester, I went to…
The Performance of “Don Giovanni” in Old Globe Theatre, San Diego California My year was complete when I watched the Opera House performing “Don Giovanni” in Old Globe Theatre in San Diego California, a theatre that was full to capacity despite the alleged complains of expensive tickets. The stage was well lit with orchestral colors that aroused varied feelings in the actions as well as the introductions. The three-dimensional stage aroused a sharp sensation in the spine and made me wish I was one of the actors using the spectacular stage. The blue and white dressing code with the majority of the audience fairly rhymed with the stage colors that kept changing with the scenes producing a magnificent theme. The Performance and Performers The performers were dressed in costumes that fitted their roles, and their actions went ahead to show realism in the contemporary world. I was in a special way amused by the music used in the opera. It was perfectly chosen for the seducing, comic and sad moments, and no one could have escaped dancing the tunes with…
Being an active member of the Theatre Department Being an active member of the Theatre Department, I had little idea of what to expect from the performance. The actors and directions of the play are not as what you would expect from a traditional show. Besides, the play scripted by Fiona Quinn has been interpreted in different ways, which gave the director great liberty. While the performance was delightfully put together, there were some moments in the play that went unsolved. The performance was experimental, and despite the script signifying sad moments for the orphans, the actors made it sensation introducing humor scenes cracking up the audience. The actress used a playful tone and a high pitched voice to attract and make the presentation sprightlier. While the play was set to begin, the audience got to gaze on the unique design of the stage. The floor was wooden with walls side portraying an image of reminiscent of a ship. Light projections were occasionally used throughout the play to assist with visual aids.
