SUMMARY:Vermont Arts Exchange Presents ZUMIX!
DESCRIPTION:Free Downtown Concert\nMonday\, August 14 7:00pm\nFront Porch of Bennington Town Office Building ~ 205 South Street\nBring your own lawn chairs or picnic blankets. \nZUMIX’s songwriting and performance programs utilize music and\nwriting as tools for positive youth development and violence\nprevention. Songwriting and performance programs are designed to help\nyouth address the complex challenges of urban life in a positive way.\nThrough songwriting workshops\, participants develop critical\nthinking\, literacy\, and communication skills as they analyze\, write\,\nand discuss issues that affect their lives. These programs are\noffered through a social justice lens to actively engage youth in\nissues that are important to their lives and their communities. The\nobjective of these programs is to empower participants to give voice\nto their ideas and feelings. Through skits\, group discussion\, and\ncritique\, youth learn problem solving skills and mediation\, as well\nas the basics of rhythm\, poetic rhyme\, harmony\, and storytelling. \nThis year’s program features twelve performers ranging in age from\n13-18. Each day these kids travel to East Boston from areas\nscattered throughout Boston’s metropolitan area. Their dedication to\nthe program reflects their dedication to their music. Each\nparticipant in the program has been hard at work writing both\noriginal lyrics and music for each of their respective songs. Song\ngenres range from Hip-Hop to R&B to Rock and their messages range\nfrom freedom and equality to summer love. Performances are the\nculmination of the Street Program\, which provide each performer with\na forum in which to express their message in their style.\nPerformances build self-confidence and instill a sense of self-worth\,\nreminding the performers that they do indeed have something valuable\nto say through song. You can expect a high-energy family friendly\nperformance lasting one hour plus. \nContact Vermont Arts Exchange For More Information\n802-442-5549 ~ infovae@comcast.net
