9 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Made Rouse <br /> Arts Commission <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I was a dance instructor and competition team director for four years, where I choreographed <br /> routines, created costumes, and helped develop season ballet performances. I received a minor <br /> in African and African American Studies and studied three years of advanced Kiswahili. I <br /> collaborated with Tanzanian students and professors in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for three <br /> months in 2019 and 2018 and have an understanding of East African culture. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I believe it is vital we provide our youth with artistic and cultural development opportunities, <br /> especially during these unprecedented times. These programs expose people to diverse <br /> perspectives and provide a healthy outlet. I want to ensure all Orange County residents have <br /> access to the arts and are given opportunities to explore these programs from diverse cultures. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> As a mid-twenty-year-old, I offer a perspective that represents the needs of our younger <br /> generation. I also will offer viewpoints from the UNC graduate student population - a large <br /> demographic in Orange County. Finally, my anthropology education has taught me how to <br /> navigate and understand diverse cultural perspectives through observation and listening. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> N/A <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 8/24/2020 8:46:04 PM Date Printed: 8/25/2020 <br />
