Abstract
The goal for this milestone is to do a research report on the first recorded ballet in London, Pygmalion which opened in 1734 at the Covent Gardens which is now known as Royal Opera House, and the story of the famous dancer & choreographer Marie Salle. This research will look at how this ballet, choreographed by Marie Salle, started a new approach of ballet style and performance in London that is used today. In conclusion, this milestone will then telling the story of 'Little Marie' through her ballet poses and specific places throughout London that she visits. To help me with this milestone I have had prior experience in ballet performance from lessons taken from kindergarten to 3rd grade. This experience will help me with ballet storytelling techniques to use for 'Little Maries story.
Introduction
I suggest you save this section for last. Describe the essence of this project. Cover what the project is and who cares in the first two sentences. Then cover what others have done like it, how your project is different. Discuss the extent to which your strategy for completing this project was new to you, or an extension of previous HUA experiences.
As you continue to think about your project milestones, reread the "Goals" narrative on defining project milestones from the HU2900 syllabus. Remember: the idea is to have equip your milestone with a really solid background and then some sort of "thing that you do". You'll need to add in some narrative to describe why you did the "thing that you did", which you'd probably want to do anyway. You can make it easy for your advisors to give you a high grade by ensuring that your project milestone work reflects careful, considerate, and comprehensive thought and effort in terms of your background review, and insightful, cumulative, and methodical approaches toward the creative components of your project milestone deliverables.
Section 1: Background
Now you're on your own! Your milestone must include a thorough and detailed background section with detailed subsections; if additional articles are required to be referenced in this background section, create those as well and link to them (the creation of all pages is tracked by the wiki site and attributed to your username). Remember to use rich multimedia whenever possible. Consult the Help page as needed! Remember, if you don't see an article on this site that is an integral part of your project, create it! Your entire page-creating/page-editing history factors into your overall grade.
