The Broadway Café first opened its doors in 1952 and quickly became a profitable café known for its variety of specialized coffees and teas, homemade sandwiches, both soups and salads, as well as its full service bakery. Recently I gained ownership of the soup from my grandfather and the task of bringing this 1952 shop to the 21st century. I will use various…
How could you leave your country? The place you grew up in, how could you leave your loved ones in a place so bad you had to flee it yourself? The production of ‘Look the other way’ choreographed by Cadi McCarthy is clearly emotionally attached to the performers. Look the other way describes how people had to leave their home and become refugees, their fear and hatred needing the encouragement to move forward. The mixture of contemporary and hip hop really drives you into the performance and makes dancers, public and even you feel like a part of the attraction. The choreographer clearly displays the variety of talent and emotive skills that all of the dancers consist of. The different interrogations of each dancer themselves are astonishing, having a wide range from the strength and intensity movements by Peter Fares to the smooth, soft and meaningful movements danced by Yillin Kong. The artistic use of props and lighting gives the texture of the movements on the performers and their facial expressions gave an overwhelming feeling inside; it’s a wakeup call to seeing how lucky we are as a country. This was a very effective way to get the audience’s attention.…

All over Mexico you can see them. The skirts, the bright colors, you can even hear the heel kicks from their shoes. All the joy and excitement celebrated through the dancers and their music. Each dance has a story, a representation. Ballet Folklorico is one of those dances that truly represents the culture of it’s origin. Mexico’s traditions and history live on through these dancers, even to this day.…

Lenox Avenue is a crucial street in Harlem, which to the extent the geology of New York is North, or uptown. We might inquire as to why Hughes has formed "down on Lenox Avenue" rather than "up on Lenox Avenue." Let's think, then, about the character of the speaker of the ditty. Since Harlem was home basically to African Americans and the parts of New York City south of Harlem (suggested as "downtown") were populated generally by whites, if the speaker were to see Lenox Avenue as "up" from his place of beginning stage, we might expect that he is white. In the midst of the 20s and 30s, creations by African-Americans about dim character and culture increased. This especially profitable time of expansive and awesome dynamic creation is implied…
Your story is every detailed, and you give us multiple examples and experiences. I like that at the beginning you talked about you dancing when you were little and about the tutus and jazz costumes. To me, that means that you have been apart of the dance discourse community for a long time and it is ever near and dear to your heart. However, I think you need to make what your discourse community is more known because from your story I can not tell what it is.…
Although most scholars simply define it as the art of designing and arranging dance, American ballet icon George Balanchine distinguished dance choreography as “an expression of time and space, using the control of movement and gesture to communicate,” (Anderson 5). This definition puts emphasis on the rigid structure and body control required to successfully produce a piece of choreography, an idea not uncommon in the ballet community (Conoley-Paladino). Like Balanchine, modern dance icon Merce Cunningham defined dance choreography as “an art in space and time.” However, in contrast, he stated that “the object of the dancer is to obliterate” that art, drawing on the importance of…

The reason of chosen Heinz Hall is because it’s size and location. Heinz Hall is a middle size theater, not as huge as Benedum Center. So that is a good size to be the venue of Petrushka, which is a 4 tableau ballet but not very long and Grand and magnificent. Also, because the theater is located in downtown Pittsburgh, so it will be is easy for me to look at the theater it in person and think about how to use the space. The color and decoration (decorative?) style in Heinz Hall will have provide an interesting comparison contrast with to the new design. By The put staging the very simple modern scenic design in the crowed crowded French Court style we will be a surprise for the audience.…
The varieties of jazz dance reflect the diversity of American culture. Jazz dance mirrors the social history of the American people, reflecting ethnic influences, historic events, and cultural changes. Jazz dance has been greatly influenced by social dance and popular music. But, like so much that is “from America”, the history of jazz dance begins somewhere else.…
Ever since my first day at Sutter Middle School I have always looked forward to going on the trip to Boston with Mrs. Cooperman’s class. This is a huge opportunity for an 8th grader like myself to be pushed above their limits and fly across the country with their close friends and with their teacher.…
In The Harlem Dancer by Claude McKay, the brief passage that unlocks the poem for me is "The light gauze hanging loose about her form." The metaphor of light gauze suggests that the female dancer had wounds from her past nevertheless she is still beautiful, and her heart is pure and chaste. This implies McKay felt sympathy and admiration for the dancer. These meanings connect to the rest of the poem in these ways:…
