Assignment #7

Video 1 Vaudeville

· Lots of impression, singing, dancing, a lot of movement

· The people that were the main characters were very well known and got paid the most

· The child labor laws really affected children actors

· There wasn’t really a steady plot or main theme but what I got from it was just for fun and entertainment.

· The African American actors weren’t given fair opportunities considering they were just there to play farmers, workers.

Video 2 The Regard of Flight and Clown Bagatelles

· The audience played a huge part

· The actors don’t really ever leave the stage, they even change costume in front of audience

· The actors often went into the audience a lot of times

· Mostly a very funny play
