Anon(ymous)

Anon(ymous) starts off  with Anon saying “Where I come from is far away from”. Then the chorus starts to sing about how beautiful the place is where they live.  Afterwards  Anon states that it isn’t as beautiful as the chorus states because where he comes from ” boys wandered the streets with M16s. I believe Anon’s beginning statement was him telling the audience that he does come from a beautiful place but the place isn’t beautiful at the moment. He’s friend Naja suggest that he remembers the good that they once had. Anon at one point starts talking about dreaming which can indicate he dreams in order  escape his reality and to remember his mother. He states ” you dream the face of one person you love… that person becomes like home”.  His way of remembering the good could be dreaming about his mother.

Working in the Theatre: Makeup video (A1)

This video was about two makeup artist in Broadway shows. The first one followed someone named Brian Strumwasser who worked with “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”. Brian focuses on the details it takes to change an actor into 17 different looks. The second part of the video followed Thelma Pollard who worked for “The Phantom of the Opera”. Thelma focused on the cast skin and the understanding of skin. It states under the video that the “cast replacement can continue to keep the life of a makeup artist on her feet eight time a week for over 28 years.” This is what keeps them working in this part of theater, the makeup and power behind it. All in all, there are many factors that make a character come to life.
