<br /> Proposed Use of Grant Funds
<br /> Grant funding of$1,500 from the Orange County Arts Commission and other partners will help NC AIA reach 100
<br /> elementary school children in Rashkis Elementary School in Orange County in 2016-17. As a direct result of these grants,
<br /> the work of Arts in Action can be sustained in public schools eager for arts education for their students,but with little
<br /> money to support it internally. The yearly cost per school involved in NC AIA is $17,280.
<br /> The three artists running the Orange and Durham County school programs are Marlon Torres,As Tisino, and Julie
<br /> Bradley. NC AIA's Executive Director,Marlon Torres, oversees the program in all schools. As former principal dancer
<br /> of the international modern dance company Galumpha,Marlon created and performed award-winning choreography
<br /> showcased around the world. His work as a Planner, Trainer, and Developer of Project Management Concepts through
<br /> Body Movement received the 2014 Platinum Award from the NC Project Management Institute. He holds an MBA in
<br /> marketing from the University of Leicester in the UK and earned a B.A. in theatre and dance from Binghamton
<br /> University.

<br /> Artistic Director Alton Tisino has
<br /> conceived, orchestrated,and scripted several of NCAIA's in-school performances during his seven years with NC AIA.
<br /> He holds a B.A. in communication studies from Texas State University—San Marcos, and assisted Jacques d'Amboise in
<br /> several residencies. Alton is also a published composer. His credits include 3 original holiday compositions for national
<br /> recording artist Yolanda Rabun's critically acclaimed album, Christmastime,as well as her adult contemporary hit single,
<br /> Hold on to your dreams.
<br /> Although the Arts in Action program focuses on an entire 4th grade level,who are ages 8 to 10,the residency
<br /> supports community building. Teachers will participate in the performance through a"Teacher Dance"and children
<br /> from Kindergarten to grade 5 perform cameos during the final performance. The entire school and community,
<br /> including parents and friends, are invited to the culminating large-scale performance event. Since 2005,NC AIA
<br /> has reached over 4600 North Carolina students through direct instruction. Of our overall enrollment, over 50
<br /> percent receive Free and Reduced lunch. The majority of our students mirror the demographics of Holt Elementary
<br /> School in Durham: 1% are Asian; 55% are Hispanic; 37% are Black; 5% are White; 0.5% are American Indian; and
<br /> 2% are two or more races.
<br /> Through the in-school residency model, in combination with NC Arts in Action's developed pedagogy, and in alignment
<br /> with NC Essential Standards, our instructional goals include:
<br /> • Use dance vocabulary to describe how elements of movement are used to communicate ideas in dance.
<br /> • Understand cultural,historical, and interdisciplinary connections with dance.
<br /> • Use multiple perspectives and criteria in evaluating dances.
<br /> • Identify how other arts disciplines are integrated into dance creation and performance.
<br /> • Explain the influence of the choreographer's vision and intent on the creative process in dance.
