Because this piece includes movement we will need an open space that will allow the dancers to move with space for the audience.

I can use personal experiences and knowledge to make connections to community and culture in a drama/theatre work.

The inspiration behind Listening to Our Hearts was to use movement, song and words to encourage us to affirm who we are, have courage in the face of adversity, to listen to each other, and find the common threads that join us all. It resurrects history from our state by reviving the voices of our ancestors and bringing the art of storytelling to life. This performance piece includes poems by Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes, as well as original material from JDPP Ensemble. Listening to Our Hearts focuses on the African American experience and explores the journey toward freedom and oppression.
*Because of the nature of the work-the teacher will receive a pre-performance discussion guide. And each performance will end with a talk-back to discuss any thoughts or concerns that may arise. |
