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 DESCRIPTION This proposal is a joint project of FIU' s Latin American and Caribbean Center, and the Intercultural Dance and Music Institute (INDAMI). The project, Fiesta Afro-Caribena, will include a concert and outdoor dance and drumming event celebrating dance cultures of the African Diaspora in Miami. The event will be held in conjunction with INDAMI's annual Latin American and Carribbean Summer Dane Institute and the Florida Dance Festival. The outdoor event will consist of a dance and drum processional, and a post- concert dance and drumming street jam. These will be led by internationally acclaimed artist Chuck Davis, and members of the African-American Dance Ensemble, and Neri Torres' Afro Cuban Dance and Music Ensemble. The processional will begin at 7:30 pm on June 20, 1999 at Lincoln Road and Washington A venue, and travel west to the Colony Theater. A concert by Ife lIe and the African American Dance Ensemble will be held indoors at the Colony Theater. At the conclusion of the concert, the dancers and musicians wil invite the audience to join together outside on the road in front of the Colony for a community dance and drum. Concert tickets will be $15 general admission, half price for students, seniors, Institute, and Florida Dance Festival participants. The dance and drum processional and street jam will be free and open to the public. This program will highlight INDAMI's second annual, week long Latin American and Caribbean Summer Dance Institute (6/19 - 6-26), co-sponsored by the Florida Dance Festival. Additionally, the event celebrates the summer solstice on June 20, the longest day of the year. Necessary changes in the program (if any) if funding received is less than original request: Since the grant amount awarded was only 11 % of the grant request, some changes will be necessary to saccomodate this far smaller award. The area that will be primarily affected is the number of participating artists. The African-American Dance Ensemble will be represented by only two dancers instead of four. In addition, expenditures for Outside Other Fees (costuming), and Marketing have been reduced. Reductions in TechnicallProduction will be made up by using students and volunteers. Reductions in Travel expenses will be made up in In-Kind services (American Airlines has agreed to donate airfares for visiting artists). Joint marketing efforts with the Florida Dance Festival will help to offset some losses in the Marketing budget. Please note, that if additional funds are secured from other sources, the original budget will be restored accordingly,adding more participating artists, as originally proposed. Additionally, even though the grant was funded at only 11 % of the amount requested (a reduction of 89%), the overall budget has been reduced by only 65%.
