DCCA presents
unique performance for junior high students
Darke County Center for the Arts will present AudioBody in an Arts In
Education performance for junior high students on Wednesday, December
14 and Thursday, December 15 at St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville.
The second of DCCA's 2016-2017 season of Arts In Education programs
which are presented free of charge to students in all grades of each
local public school, AudioBody combines the performing arts with
technology to create a unique show featuring music, comedy, and their
own cutting-edge inventions. These performances are also open to the
public.
“AudioBody will engage students in an interactive discussion about
science and technology, giving some lucky youngsters the opportunity to
actually come up on stage and play with the musical inventions featured
in the performance,” explained DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins.
“Although critical thinking and problem solving will be enhanced and
education will take place, the audience will mostly know that they are
having a really good time during this amazing performance,” Mr. Rawlins
concluded.
DCCA's Arts In Education program is sponsored by DP&L Company
Foundation, Greenville Federal, Maid Rite Sandwich Shoppe, Edison State
Community College, The Mandy Green Fund of the Darke County Foundation,
The Helen Hawkey Music Project, Richard Baker, BASF, and Littman-Thomas
Agency. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program
with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational
excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. The A.I.E. Program
is also funded by DCCA memberships and local schools. DCCA also
receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens
Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
AudioBody will also perform for the general public in a DCCA
Coffeehouse Series presentation at St. Clair Memorial Hall on Thursday,
December 15 at 7 p.m. Tickets for this show featuring a synthesis of
comedy, music, circus arts, and technology cost $10 and can be reserved
by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or
