Inc. Federal ID#: 65-0320718 Project Title: Black Historv Month Concert of Dance The Project Narrative or Description is a complete description of the proposed project or event as approved by the Grants Panel based on the original application. Please include the number of events, participants, locations and audience to be served. Also please include a brief statement indicating how this event will be made available to the public. NARRATIVE OR DESRIPTION To build on last year's successful performance in Miami Beach at the Colony Theater by providing an educational and entertaining Concert of Dance on February 28, 1999 during Black History Month. The Concert of Dance will include 8 dancers and seven selections focusing on black dances or black-influenced dances from the Ensemble's repertoire of jazz, modem, gospel, blues, avant-garde, neoclassical ballet, African-Caribbean and traditional African dances. The target audience is all segments of the Miami Beach population with special emphasis on minority youth and adults, especially inner-city minority youth and adults who represent the multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and economically diverse community of Miami-Dade. By being on the Beach, and having reasonable costs to attend, it will draw a large number of local residents as well as tourists. In addition, by being the only African-American dance ensemble, we offer a unique form of entertainment, not found any where else in Miami Beach, and various African American groups, individual tourists and residents regularly contact the Artistic Director for the Ensemble asking when the Black Door Dance Ensemble will be performing so they can plan their group/individual vacation or meeting on the Beach to coincide with meetings or conferences. We will reach out to the community through: (1) PSAs on the radio and television stations/shows owned and operated by City of Miami and Miami-Dade County. In 1998, Channel 10 did a spot on the show at the Colony during its Centerstage program (it was shown on February 13, 1998 at 5:50 p.m.). (2) Newspaper articles in the: The Weekly News (TWN), The Tropic, the Miami Times, the Neighbors section of the Miami Herald for all of Miami-Dade County, Miami Today, Gazette newspaper Group, The New Times, Entertainment News and Views, the Gospel Truth and the Community Newspaper. (3) In addition, over 1000 flyers and small posters are sent to the Ensemble's mailing list which includes all area public schools, community based organizations, cultural and arts programs, college and other educational institutions, governmental funding groups, and private individuals. Revised Project Narrative (continued) Necessary changes in the program (if any) if funding received is less than original request: We originally requested $6,500 for the concert. This amount was to cover payment of the dancers who will perform, rental of the Colony Theater on Miami Beach and publicity for the event. With a reduction in funding to $3,500, we will have less publicity about the concert, and will have to pay the dancers less money. This may result in fewer dance selections during the concert. However, we still hope to build on last year's dance concert at the Colony and have another very successful event. CITY OF MIAMI BEACH CULTURAL ARTS COUNCIL EXHIBIT 2: REVISED PROJECT BUDGET A.
