POETRY OUT LOUD NATIONAL RECITATION CONTEST
By encouraging high school
students to memorize and perform great poems, Poetry Out Loud
invites
the dynamic aspects of slam poetry, spoken word, and theater into the
English
class. This exciting program helps students master public speaking
skills,
build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. Watch
your local high school students
performing at the first annual POETRY OUT LOUD competition for Contra
Costa County, held on February 23, 2008 and sponsored by AC5. Airs regularly on CCTV, Sundays at 7:00 p.m.
KEEPERS OF THE FLAME
Five artists who have
significantly enriched the cultural life of Contra
Costa County
were selected to receive the County Arts and Culture
Commission's Arts Recognition Award for 2007. The
honorees were selected by an independent panel of judges following a
month-long
nominating process. This video, Keepers of the Flame, introduces you to
our five honorees and their unique contributions to the arts scene in
Contra Costa County. Airs regularly on CCTV, Sundays at 8:20 p.m.
In addition to videos of AC5 events, we occasionally sponsor the airing
of other arts programming of interest to the community. Currently these
offerings include:
ARTS THAT CROSS BORDERS: Ecuador,
Mexico & Peru
A
40 min. show where artists - musicians, dancers and a cartoneria (paper mache)
artist - explain their art and the artistic process. Interviews accompanied by
performance and a visit to the cartoneria artist's studio. Produced by Eve Ma. Check http://www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/depart/ccctv/

IMPROVISING JEREZ-STYLE
As a writer, professor,
dancer and now as a producer and director, Eve Ma
has devoted years to honoring and promoting diversity in the arts. Her most recent work, Improvising
Jerez-Style, takes a look at Jerez-style bulerias, a fast-paced improvised
dance often considered the quintessential flamenco form, known for its passion.
The film was shot in the city of Jerez in
southern Spain
and includes interviews with dancers such as Moralito Chico and Antonio de la
Malena. Check http://www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/depart/ccctv/
