Led by choreographer Jacques Heim of Cirque de Soleil, Diavolo redefines dance through dynamic movement, creative expression, the inventive use of sets and props, and innovative musical selections. Beyond its spectacular movement, Diavolo uses the kinesthetic power of dance to explore the sciences of the body and physics along with principles of trust, teamwork, and individual expression.

Students celebrate Black History Month with this engaging concert that honors two of America’s great civil rights leaders: US Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and author Dr. Maya Angelou. Known collectively as A Civil Rights Reader, Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)’s original compositions are the foundation for a spellbinding performance by this twenty-first century musical pioneer that includes the actual voices of these American giants in excerpts from their famous speeches and poems. Performing will be DBR along with his quartet, the SQ Unit on the violin, viola, and cello. Dedicated to creating socially and politi-
cally conscious music DBR blends funk, hip-hop, and classical music to create a personal sonic vision that critics have described as “revolutionary.” Rich with cultural references, his works range from classical scores and energetic chamber works to rock songs and electronica.
Connects to Maine Learning Results in Music a–e; Language Arts a2, d, e, and f; Social Studies Eras in US History; Cross-Content Connections in English Language Arts with Social Studies, Career/Education Development, and VPA. A study guide and interactive resources will be available on our website and at iTunes University K-12, coming soon to Maine.
