 2006:“Meta-Myth-a-Morphosis!”
On behalf of World Arts West and our 2006 cast, welcome to the 12th season of the arts education program of the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, People Like Me!
This
season we present a magical bookworm who lives in the Library of Legend
and Lore. While ravenously learning about the myths of the world, he
finds myths that are only told through music and dance! During his
unexpected voyage, he discovers the story dances of Africa, Mexico, China, Afghanistan and the North American Plains.
Through this, he gains new understanding of the diversity and
importance of cultural traditions, and the connections between people
around the world. Our worm also discovers that the beauty he has
experienced in his adventure is reflected in a magical, yet entirely
scientific, transformation. Lore and myth, intercultural appreciation,
and metamorphosis are the focus of this year’s program. Presented
in an engaging and interactive one-hour performance, the theater
experience and its supporting curriculum material in our award winning Viewer’s Guide
present a multidisciplinary and multicultural approach to meeting State
Content Standards for Visual and Performing Arts, Science, Language
Arts, and Social Science, while exposing children to the rich diversity
of performing artists living in Northern California.
