The Works Of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker

The world of contemporary dance is one that is constantly developing and pushing the boundaries of what makes dance more than just movement. However, it is questionable that it would be in this diverse state if it was not for a few revolutionary choreographers. Along with Martha Grahame is could be argued that Merce Cunningham was a pioneering, revolutionary choreographer who questioned given standards and procedures creating the diverse contemporary style that we know today. Revolutionary can be defined as something radically new or innovative; outside or beyond established procedure and principles (Dictionary.com, 2017). In order for something to be revolutionary it has to be in relation to something else, this is certainly true for Cunningham’s

Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, she was the daughter of Otto and Edith Frank. Anne and her sister Margot grew up in Germany, but before World War II Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam for two years. During World War II Adolph Hitler killed nearly six million Jews.

Who: One choreographer that draw my attention is Martha Graham. Particularly, when I watched her dance ‘HERETIC’, I was emotional.

This was particularly exciting because the music was written and sung by Beyonce, a majority favorite. However, the costumes lacked coordination and seemed put together very last minute. Although, the purple and red vests did match the lighting which added a unique touch. The dance moves were fun and upbeat which allowed for the audience to enjoy themselves and experience the joy the dancers expressed. The dance truly attempted and succeeded at displaying the true spirit of Beyonce. Also, the dance moves seemed to have been carefully planned out to their fullest potential. The originality of the dance was exceptional which was one of the many components that cultivated its excellent

“I hope I shall be able to confide in you completely, as I have never been able to do in anyone before, and I hope that you will be a great support and comfort for to me” ( Frank). Anne Frank, short for Anneliese Marie Frank, was born in 1929, and died around 1945. Her father, Otto Frank, was born in 1889 and died in 1980, and was a prosperous businessman. On January 30, 1933, Hitler had taken over Germany. Anne and her family were Jewish, and they were forced to move to a new place for a new life. Anne Frank was a victim of the holocaust, and she would later use her experience before, during, and after WWII to illustrate through her writing, the thought of a teenager during a time war.

On August 4, 1944, Anne Frank and the other seven inhabitants living in the annex were arrested by the German Gestapo. Their secret about living in the annex was exposed by an anonymous tip, that led to their arresting. The anonymous tip also led the Gestapo to arrest two office workers that were helping the members of the annex live. The two office workers were sent to Amersfoort Camp, which was located in the Netherlands. Fortunately, one of the office helpers was released after the arrest. The other helper escaped after 6 months of being confined in the camp. As for the members of the annex, they were all transported to Camp Westerbork, located in Northeastern Netherlands. The members of the annex arrived to the camp four days after the arresting, on August 8, 1944.

The life of Anne Frank a young girl, who was only four years of age, when the hatred by the Nazi began against the Jewish religion. Her real name was Annelies Marie Frank, and she was born in Germany. Starting with Anne’s life just before the Nazi’s rule. Next, her life when she was forced into hiding in the Annex. Then, how she was remembered and what happened after she was captured.

I would have to disagree with anne on her quote that says, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” I think this way because of Mr. Van Daan when he went and stole all the bread from the cabinets that he should be feeding his children with and he took the bread. However, Someone might disagree with me based on Anne, when she believes everyone is good at heart even the ones killing the other jewish people.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl described the ordeal of a young girl named Anne Frank. The diary was written over a period of two years. She obtained her diary on her thirteenth birthday and she cherished it very much. At first, she wrote about her life in Amsterdam and lightly described the movement against the Jews. However, “After May 1940 good times rapidly fled: first the war, then the capitulation, followed by the arrival of the Germans, which is when the sufferings of us Jews really began” (Frank 6/20/42). When the Nazis called to take Margot away on Thursday, 9 July, 1942, Anne and her family moved with the Van Daans and their son to the “Secret Annexe.” The "Secret Annexe" were a few rooms hidden behind Mr. Frank’s old office.

Perhaps Anne Frank’s most notable quote is: “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This remarkable statement shows that young people can be optimistic and hopeful even in the darkest of times. Anne wrote these remarkable words during the Holocaust while she was hiding for fear of being taken to a concentration camp where she would almost surely die. Even though the crimes against humanity still exist today, Anne Frank was right; people are good at heart since they often come together in times of crisis to help and support each other, people help each other in many ways such as trying to stay positive in negative situations, and being caring and loving to their family. That people are good at heart is evident throughout the story told by Anne Frank.

How would the Diary of Anne Frank be without the secret Annex, or the film Life is Beautiful without the concentration camps? In The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne, a 14 year old jewish girl in 1940’s Netherlands, accounts her experience with her family in hiding from the Nazis in a backroom of an office called the Secret Annex. On the contrary, the film Life is Beautiful is about the experiences of Guido, his wife Dora, and his son Joshua, who are sent to a concentration camp because they are Jewish, and Guido and Joshua are separated from Dora. In both settings, the characters are isolated from the outside and they as a hiding place. In The Diary of Anne Frank, the setting is relatable and causes the characters to want to be separated while in

Have you ever wondered what life was like during World War 2? Anne Frank had an interesting life during this time. This is how her life was during World War 2. Consequently, Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 12, 1929. She is the youngest daughter of Otto and Edith Frank, and she has an older sister named Margot Frank. Anne went to school at Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam from 1934 to 1941. Before that she went to school at Jewish Lyceum. Anne’s favorite subject in school was history. She was friends with Hanneli Goslar, who is known by Hannah. Anne was a straight A student and she was one of the “ popular girls” in her school. For her 13th birthday, she got a diary which will become a big thing later in life. She had always wanted to become a famous writer, according to her father.

Adolf Hitler is a name most all know and have learned about while in school. Another name associated with Hitler as well as his time of power is Anne Frank. “...But I 'm not sorry, memories mean more to me than dresses.” From Anne Frank’s first diary entry (Simkin, John.) that simple sentence speaks volumes to what kind of person Anne was. From books, plays, movies and her diary about her life they have captivated so many for years. A child who grow up in a time that would go down in history and be forever remembered for generations to come, that still managed to stand out due to her writings. But do you know her story? Not just her name and how she lived during the Holocaust? I will explain her life, family, how she lived, how she died, and what exactly happened to the girl in the attack.

Books or stories affect people in different ways, many of them being happy because everyone lives happily ever after. Very rarely do I get affected by books, and the Story of Anne Frank is one of them. This poor Jewish girl, has to hide away with seven other people, three of them being her actual family members.

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Germany was an event that touched the lives of many people from the late-1930s to the mid-1940s. This is seen through the story of a young, Jewish child named Anne Frank, whose parents would have to go to great lengths in order to prevent her and the rest of their family from being taken away to the concentration camps in Germany. They went through the trouble of moving from their home in Frankfurt, Germany to Holland, Amsterdam, which did little to stop the German army once they had invaded the country on May 10th, 1940 and conquered it in the span of five days. This defeating of the Netherlands led to the establishment of anti-Semitic laws which hindered the social status of Jewish citizens, as well as lead to the arrests of many. These arrests would also include the fifteen-year old Anne Frank and her family once the word reached to a
