2006 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Angela "Sadio" will begin the preproduction phase of an educational documentary, that uses dance ceremonies, rituals, and interviews to share the spiritual and cultural functions of African dance. During a yearlong study in Guinea, Angela "Sadio" videotaped these many forms of dance. By sharing the meaning and purpose of these African dances through film, she is documenting and preserving this important cultural knowledge. This documentary will be a tool in her work with African American and Latino youth across Philadelphia, encouraging self-empowerment and change through this ritual art form.
