Determining ownership of a choreographed piece can be quite difficult. This has been a controversial topic for quite some time. An individual thinks of dance as a free expression and feels that the expression can be utilized without permission. However, the controversy ensues “when a choreographer puts their body into motion and pen to paper, they’re creating an original expressive piece that takes their personal experience and creativity and translates it into a work of art.” (Andrews) After a choreographer applies their unique style a piece can then be copyrighted and protected from duplication legally. In my opinion, a choreographer owns an artistic piece after they have coined the movement as their own and have placed a patent and copyright on that work. …show more content…
It such such a shame that a performer such as Beyoncé with limitless financial resources cannot produce unique, quality pieces. She indicated that she is inspired by other artists and different expressions of dance however, she is a pioneer and R&B music and should treat the artistry of dance the same way. She should be creative, create movement that are specific to her and her culture and stop copying works from previous choreographers. After watching the video of comparisons, it is a blatant copyright

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

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Intro: Imagine this: full time job, full time college student. Tying to juggle your job and academics at the same time, putting equal time in for each. Then, at the end of the month you didn’t get paid for the work that you were achieving in your job. This is how college athletes are feeling today. Ineffective, useless and unproductive. Many people in the college sports industry are getting paid except for the people who are accomplishing the most, the athletes. They put in the work, time, and effort to their athletics but their academics are being overlooked totally. With so many mixed emotions and laws standing in the way, there has not been as much commotion over this issues as there should be. College athletes should be getting paid because of the work that they are putting into the system, and the results that they are getting out of the game and audience.
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.
The Book of Exodus is not a narrative of slavery. The Book of Exodus is not a condemnation of slavery. The Book of Exodus is not an escapee's manual. The Book of Exodus does not even incorporate one journal entry, one trial transcript, or one eye-witness account of the slavery endured by the Israelites in Egypt. Despite its lack of address, the Book of Exodus solidifies man's need for God and God's need for worship.
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.
Kwame Anthony Appiah’s essay on Identity, Authenticity and Survival is based on Charles Taylor’s earlier work on recognition and identity. Though Taylor’s references to identity are mostly to collective identity, Appiah’s aim is to draw a comparison or even find a connection between individual identity and collective identity.
