It has moved beyond that specific community and embraced by young people worldwide, elevating it to a global youth culture. The ambitious and hard-hitting documentary Blacking Up: Hip-Hop's Remix of Race and Identity looks at the popularity of hip-hop among America's white youth. It asks whether white identification is rooted in admiration and a desire to transcend race or if it is merely a new chapter in the long continuum of stereotyping, mimicry and cultural appropriation? Does it reflect a new face of racial understanding in white America or does it reinforce an ugly history?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: Baobab website, 2013-Feb-11]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>3rd Floor Ballroom<\/strong> of the <strong>Tango Cafe Dance Studio<\/strong> is <strong>The Sweetheart Swing Dance<\/strong> starting around 8 p.m. (with an intro-to-swing class from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.) <em>[source: City Newspaper events calendar, 2013-Feb-11]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at the <strong>MuCCC<\/strong> is <strong>The Metallic Series<\/strong> with <strong>Red Dirt Dance<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>While the dances range between more abstract meditations of beauty to a depiction of unrequited love, each work delves into a unique theatrical world. Karl Rogers, Assistant Professor of Dance at The College at Brockport, crafts quirky movement that highlights the virtuosity of the body while calling attention to the theatricality of the everyday. When not accompanied by Rochester's music maven Carson Moody, Rogers' choreography frequently employs hummable tunes as it illuminates new perspectives on relationships among people, things and the world. The Metallic Series invites the audience to consider their own perception of the human experience with dances rooted in the contemporary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: MuCCC website, 2013-Feb-11]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through March 2 and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through March 3, the <strong>Bread and Water Theatre<\/strong> presents <strong>Chronus<\/strong> by <strong>Bennett Fisher<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>After losing a congressional race in Tucson, AZ during the 2008 general election Republican candidate John Chronus retools his campaign for a senate seat during the 2010 midterms.
