Celebrating the Arts and the Cultures that formed these Diverse Art
Forms
The PTA Cultural Arts
Committee is very excited to partner with the United Arts Council of
Raleigh and Wake County to bring these programs to our school for
the 2007-2008 year. Our teachers will be provided with study guides
for each performance to be used to enhance our children’s learning
experience. For questions regarding our Cultural Arts program contact

Four performances are coming to our school this year.
The theme for these performances is cultures and traditions from
around the world!
Presented by Steve Levitt, this historical fiction adventure
story is a solo performance using music and songs with many
traditional instruments including fiddle, bones, spoons, jaw
harp, West African and Native American drums, rattles, jawbone,
harmonica, bone flute, and hambone. Steve uses rhythm, song,
percussive dance and audience participation to teach about the
history and multi-ethnic roots of North Carolina and its
official folk dance “clogging”.
