Saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. in the Martin Luther King auditorium (MLK), Moving Episodes dance group presents "Love Is in the Dance". Brian L. Williams, who is a dance instructor, choreographer and director for Champaign dancers, will direct this dance concert of contemporary ballet, jazz, and modern to be performed by SCSU students and Faculty/Staff. The concert will take a peek at dance from the Afro-American perspective on LOVE in three acts. Act 1, focuses on "Love for the Fellow Man", while acts 2 and 3 turn attention to the "Love of Inner Self" and the "Love of the Creator". The movement will be accompanied by the music of such artists as Nina Simone, Jazmine Sullivan, Etta James, Kanye West, Richard Smallwood and more. The closing gospel suite of Act 3 promises to allow the audience tap your feet, clap your hands, and join the company in its finale number, Tremaine Hawkins's "Goin' Up Yonder". For more information please call Brian L. Williams at (803) 533-3691.
In conjunction with the spring arts festival, there will be a Learning Exchange program - Resources for Social Change (RSC) with Alternate Roots Arts Organization (http://www.alternateroots.org). The theme is “Bridging the Gap between the Community and University”. The goal is to bring people from our local community together so that we can learn from one another and use art to create new experiences, connections and opportunities for everyone.
We are looking for individuals in the community to participate in the Learning Exchange during the festival. The idea is to create an open dialog and brainstorm on creative possibilities for bridging the gap between individuals from the community and university. If you and/or members from your school or organization would like to participate in the Learning Exchange, please contact Ms. LeDee, assistant professor of art at email: kledee@xxxxxxxxx
