INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN DANCERS
TO PERFORM AT CLARION UNIVERSITY-VENANGO
CAMPUS
OIL CITY, PA-The
Clarion University-Venango Campus
Activities Board will host a performance by ArcheDream on Friday, February 4,
at 7 PM in the auditorium of the Robert W. Rhoades Student Center. The
performance is free and open to the public.
ArcheDream founded the HUMANKIND Roadshow, an entertainment-based educational
tool designed to help de-stigmatize HIV/AIDS, provide HIV/AIDS education to
youth and adults, and raise the morale of victims and families who are coping
with the epidemic. The eight-member interpretive dance group is returning to
the campus after a very popular performance last year.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring back this unique and talented group for
our students and the community,” said Dr. Christopher M. Reber, executive dean
of the campus, “and honored to help bring attention to the noble work they
do.”
This
year’s performance will be a black-light dance entitled "The Poet's Dream," a
75-minute dance drama written by Alan Bell, with music by Alexander Mitnick.
The production deals with the issues of doubt and pessimism as one strives for
uniqueness in a world of Love, War, Wisdom and Confusion.
ArcheDream is currently planning an African Tour with the help of Stellar
Mhango of COLIN Volunteers, based in South Africa. The purpose of this tour is
to bring Alan Bell's creation back to his homeland and to meet with groups
that have pledged their support to HUMANKIND.
Clarion University–Venango Campus provides high-quality
educational programs and personalized services to help students succeed.
Students can earn an associate degree, a bachelor’s or master’s degree in
select areas, obtain a one-year certificate or participate in a variety of
professional development and personal enrichment courses. The campus is home
to Clarion University’s School of Nursing and Allied Health and its Department
of Applied Technology. Clarion University–Venango Campus is committed to
serving the needs of the community.
