Broadway

This class makes me realize how much I do not know about my own country’s history. It’s okay though, I am beginning to appreciate the evolution of art forms and how technology aids in this process. This class on Broadway was enjoyable because it demonstrated how the combining of cultures really effects expression and how performances are truly a mirror of the times. I wonder what our art will be conveying to future generations. I wish I could be able to witness firsthand what it was like to go to a speakeasy or go to Tin Pan Alley. Florenz Ziegfeld seemed to find his niche and give the people what they want. It’s odd to think of these periods in time being filled with sexual messages but they were there and even then captured an audience. George White’s dance moves should be brought back!
