DocuSign Envelope ID: 1B4A9656 -703F- 4154- A3B7- 2AFDB606E19B <br />Artist Description We are working with The Arts Center's Arts in School program to <br />secure our artists. Performance Descriptions for the 2018 -19 school <br />year are as follows (total cost $5,000): <br />Children's Theatre of Charlotte: Rapunzel <br />October 15 -19, 2018 (1 show for grades K -2 at $1000) <br />Our reimagined version of the classic tale takes on new life and a <br />softer message in a beautifully adapted and visually moving story. <br />Nan so loves her adopted daughter, Rapunzel, that she builds her a <br />wonderful tower to keep her safe from the dangers of the world. As <br />Rapunzel grows, she and Nan argue as Rapunzel tests boundaries <br />and seeks independence. Rapunzel focuses on the parent /child <br />relationship as it tests the boundaries of love, trust, perseverance <br />and independence. <br />Children's Theatre of Charlotte: Spelling 2 -5 -5 <br />October 15 -19, 2018 (1 show for grades 3 -5 at $1000) <br />Simon's a terrific speller, and now he has a chance to shine as a <br />contestant on a televised spelling bee. Simon's brother, Jake, who <br />has autism, unwittingly reveals he's also a gifted speller in a way <br />that's uniquely his. Sibling rivalry takes center stage as Simon faces <br />choices about his role as the protective big brother and his desire to <br />gain celebrity status. Spelling 2 -5 -5 takes a poignant look at bullying, <br />inclusion, compassion and what it means to have empathy for <br />others. <br />Flamenco Carolina <br />February 11 -15, 2019 (2 shows at $850 each) <br />Flamenco Carolina represents the flamenco art form of song, dance <br />and instrumental music associated with the folkloric music traditions <br />of Southern Spain. This music tradition includes tambourines, bells, <br />wooden castanets and guitar with articulated movements reflective <br />of the rich history of this culture. This Durham -based flamenco group <br />consists of several dancers, a guitarist and singer dedicated to <br />preserving flamenco through performance and education. <br />Poetry Alive! <br />January 7 -11, 2019 (2 shows at $650 each) <br />Poetry Alive! performances provide students with a curriculum <br />enhancing in -depth exploration of literary analysis, writing and <br />speaking skills.
