In the original photoshoot the dancers tried to actually match their clothing styles. It showed how popular they were with the American population. They showed original newspapers of them and their actual pictures. I liked that because it showed that the ballet stuck to the story of Bonnie and
Cole and Atkins cross their feet multiple times, moving their arms in the same motion, and then they spin. The music gives off a free vibe, like Josephine Baker, for their dance looks choreographed and improvised. I think during this time music started to slow dance, and it was not as fast of a beat.

For example, Radio Raheem is always shown with his huge boom box and loud rap music to characterize black people. At the same time, he does this with Pino & Vito, the italians who worked at the pizzeria wore tank tops and a cross around their neck. Spike Lee does this in order to represent these different racial groups in his film, but most importantly to put out their differences.

Another moment where the tension between the races could be felt is when the slow music is played when the cops pass by the black guys who are sitting on the sidewalk.
The musical language of Hamilton is predominantly rooted in hip-hop and rap genres. These genres are among the least represented in Broadway musicals, with at most one hip-hop/rap song featuring in any given musical. However, these genres are among the most common and significant in modern popular culture. Hip-hop and rap are genres rooted in America, starting off in New York City as an underground movement in the 1970s and transforming into an art form recognized worldwide. Interestingly, the birth of these genres from the cultural clash of African-American, Latin American, and Caribbean immigrants in New York City shares parallels with the multicultural play and history that brought it into being.

In the movie there is a scene of a bunch of white KKK members that burn down a church that had just been filled with black civilians. Alan uses a number of camera angles, music, dialogue and lighting to make the scene more interesting and to build up the watcher’s suspense The first technique that Alan uses is music, the music that Alan uses in the scene is both diegetic and non-diegetic. The diegetic music is the black people in the church singing, this makes the scene feel more powerful and also gives us a feeling that something is going to happen.

He enjoyed Mr. Glover’s more rhythmic classes and heavier hoofing style of dance. At the age of fifteen he signed a contract to understudy the leading role in the Tony Award winning Broadway show, Bring in ‘Da Noise, Bring in ‘Da Funk. Following his Broadway debut, Mr. Smith then became a member of Glover’s first dance company, NYOT (Not Your Ordinary Tappers). Smith grew to be an avid collector of film clips that highlighted black tap dancers in old movies which he would watch over and over. He also extended his listening to modern jazz musicians which ultimately began an inquiry into his roots as a socially mindful African-American artist.

It was directed by Simon Henwood, who had designed West’s Glow in the dark tour (Songfacts 2015:1). In this music video, West tries to represent the feelings he experienced during the breakup by referenceing Patrick Bateman’s apartment of the film, American Psycho, as well as some traditional african warriors, dancers and other signifiers (Dorian 2013:1). I believe that this music video represents Africans and African-ness. The video does not use one signifier but a collection of them.
