DocuSign Envelope ID: 542A38B8- 9740 -46EF- 9829- D336644631BB <br />Artist Description Our first cultural art show of the 2018/2019 school year will be <br />Number Drummer Live, in September. Number Drummer Live is an <br />interactive production where the entire audience "drums" up math to <br />create a spectacular rhythmic performance. Every student plays an <br />instrument during the 50- minute performance. Math skills include <br />addition, multiplication, fractions, and money. Music skills include <br />beat, rhythm, timbre, dynamics, tempo, and more. We chose this <br />group because it offers a unique concept and it is unusual to find <br />math -based cultural arts shows. We also appreciate that this show <br />has 100% student participation. <br />Our second group, Poetry Alive! will come in January and was <br />chosen because CES has not had a show based on poetry for many <br />years. In addition, this show will integrate well with our literacy <br />curriculum. Poetry Alive! high- energy assembly shows are presented <br />by a team of two professional performers and include 20 -25 poems <br />tailored to fit the ages and interests of the audience. The poems, <br />memorized and performed theatrically, are found in popular <br />textbooks and anthologies. Poetry Alive! performances provide <br />students with a curriculum enhancing in -depth exploration of literary <br />analysis, writing and speaking skills. <br />Our final show, Common Chords, will come in March. Common <br />Chords is a musical collaboration between two musicians, Robert <br />Jones and Matt Watroba, who will take our students on a musical <br />journey that tells the story of how American music like bluegrass, <br />blues, rock -n -roll, Motown, and hip -hop, grew from a family tree of <br />European and African instruments, styles and stories. We chose this <br />group because of their focus on using music, art, and cultural <br />expression to connect diverse communities, which we think will <br />resonate well with our multicultural school community. <br />Are you hiring Yes <br />multicultural artists <br />with the requested <br />funds from this <br />grant? <br />What is the total 2000 <br />amount you will pay <br />the multicultural <br />artists with the funds <br />you receive from this <br />grant? <br />How will the <br />All three performances will be a part of the school day and all <br />project /program be <br />students will get a chance to attend. Teachers will receive information <br />publicized and <br />about upcoming performances and a study guide in the weeks before <br />promoted to reach <br />the performance.
