DCCA presents
Japanese Storyteller in Schools
Darke County Center for the Arts...
Japanese storyteller Kuniko Yamamoto will share myths and fables of her
native land with kindergarten through third grade students in all Darke
County and Greenville public schools during the week of September
26. Presented by Darke County Center for the Arts as part of
their Arts In Education series, the artist uses traditional Japanese
music, handcrafted masks, and origami to portray the culture of
Japan. These programs are free and open to the public.
“Kuniko enchants audiences of all ages with her dramatic storytelling
abilities,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “She reveals
fascinating aspects of Japanese culture, educating as she amuses,
delights, and entertains,” Mr. Rawlins concluded.
DCCA’s Arts In Education program presents high quality artists
performing in local schools at no charge to the students. AIE is
sponsored by Dayton Power and Light Foundation, Bocholt Foundation,
Greenville Federal, Maid-Rite Sandwich Shoppe, Vectren Energy Delivery
of Ohio, The Andersons, Edison Community College, Littman-Thomas
Agency, Mercer Savings Bank, Greenville Rotary Club, and BASF;
additional funding is received from the schools. DCCA is also
supported by Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial Fund, Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, Ketrow Foundation, and the Ohio Arts
Council, the state agency that supports public programs in the arts.
Kuniko will also perform at Sweet One O One in downtown Greenville on
Thursday, September 29, as part of DCCA’s casual Coffeehouse Series,
which presents artists in an intimate social setting; the performance
begins at 7 p.m. Tickets for this all-ages performance cost $10, and
will be available at the door or may be reserved by contacting
DCCA. For more information regarding these shows or to learn
