Dance performances.

For a dance performance you need to have a routine sorted with the people who are doing the dance. You need a date of when your show is going to be and how many people from the audience are coming. You also need to know what your going to be wearing and where the positions on stage are going to be set out. If you have music then that needs to be sorted. The stage needs to be checked for safety reasons and lighting and effects. You need to tell people who are coming, where the event is held and if they need tickets then they need to bring them. If your using props then they need to be sorted and behind stage before you go on. The parking areas need to be clear so people know where to park.

Theatre/plays

In the theatre you need to learn lines and where you are set out in the stage. You need to have all of your props sorted and your costumes. First of all you need a dress rehearsal before the real thing. There are normally dances in shows so they need to be rehearsed well. The scenery needs to be put with each scene. You should know when you go on stage and come off. Usually you wear makeup so it stands out for the audience. Music needs to be done and dramatic sounds to make it sound dramatic or whatever type of play it is. The tickets need to be clear on how much they are and where the event actually is. Also you need to know where to park.

Radio is referd to something we listen to or listen with. It all started with the discovery of radio waves. Gugliegmo Marconi was an Italian inventor who first created the invention of radio. Radio broadcasts travel through the air exclusively or they sent through wires. In the 1866 Mahlon Loomis provided the first demonstration of wireless communication, and then in 1895 Gugliego Marconi sent the first radio signal.

Radio was created in the 40s. Radio is the science of transmitting data between two remote stations without wires. Use of radio waves is not only limited to FM and AM radio as we commonly understand. Marconi is very well known worldwide as the inventor of radio, and in 1894 tested his first radio transmitter over a distance of a few yards. By 1896 he was in England working for the British post office developing a wireless telegraph that would be cheaper.

James Clerk Maxwell developed the first radio-wave theorem in 1864. He proved mathematically, that if an electrical interruption is of short distance from the point at which it occurred, there would be effect or passage of electrical current due to some sort of waves that move at the speed of light in which the electromagnetic energy would travel. When radio stations first began recording programs, they recorded onto records called electrical transcription disks.
