It’s a production that’s designed to inspire and engage students of all ages– and that, it does!
Keesha Dixon, Executive Director of Asante Art Institute, tells us more about the Children’s Theatre and the “Journey in Search of Justice,” a video education program for students during Black History Month.
Here’s more:
In honor of Black History Month, Asante Art Institute of Indianapolis has developed a free, virtual program that high schools and teachers across the entire state can use to teach, inspire, and engage students. “Journey in Search of Justice” is a student-performed play chronicling the African American struggle for equity in the U.S. and has been recorded and digitized as an arts and teaching resource.
In early January the Indianapolis Artsgarden sat mostly empty, except for the sound equipment and stage lighting. Except for the performers and musicians scheduled to record, one by one, under the atriumâs glass domes. Three days were filled with the energy and music surrounding Black History Month and Black artists in Indiana. Three days of reunion for artists and leaders as they prepared for the 25th annual Art & Soul.Â
The Arts Council of Indianapolis, in partnership with WISH-TV, is presenting the 25th Art & Soul at the Artsgarden 2021 online this year. Performances by 12 local artists and musicians, along with four featured artist performances, will be aired daily through the month of February. Shows will be available on WISH-TVâs Facebook page and the Arts Council website.Â
