Today, TAC serves more than 60,000 people annually through a variety of art classes, theater performances, concerts, summer camps, after-school programs, school performances, arts in education residencies, a youth performing arts program, gallery exhibitions, and other arts related workshops, festivals, and events. TAC's impact is evidenced by its ability to carry out its mission. The ArtsCenter is a not- for-profit arts based organization that serves as a nucleus from which creativity emanates. By providing a broad spectrum of creative visual art experiences through exhibition, programming, outreach and events we pledge to unite diverse audiences through a continuum of art that is both: culturally rich, respective of long standing art traditions, and at the forefront of new trends, where art, education and performance intersect. TAC is governed by a 13-member board of directors. Current Programs and Services The ArtsCenter is organized into five programmatic departments. These are briefly described below. (Note: Youth Programs and the Youth Performing Arts Conservatory fall into the same program category because they both cater to youth.) Concerts.TAC presents 60 concerts, representing the spectrum of musical genres by local, emerging, and nationally touring artists including Folk, Blues, Celtic, Latin, Rock, and Roll, Zydeco, and Bluegrass. Theatre. International theatre at its most local,ArtsCenter Stage showcases the work of emerging and established artists hailing from next door to around the world. Featuring new works and re-inventions of the classics, improvisation and storytelling, puppetry and musicals, theatre for younger and older audiences,ArtsCenter Stage is community-oriented theatre with a commitment to developing new artists and audiences. ArtSchool.ArtSchool at TAC is Orange County's most comprehensive non-profit resource for continuing education in the arts on a non-degree, community basis. The ArtSchool now offers more than 400 classes in all artistic disciplines for all experience levels and ages, awards more than 50 scholarships annually, and offers work-study opportunities. Youth Programs, TAC has provided artistically excellent, age-appropriate and accessible arts experiences to Triangle families for over 20 years. Currently, TAC offers the School Show Series, the SuperFun Series, KidsCamp,AfterSchool Arts Immersion, and Arts in Education residencies to area youth and families, reaching approximately 26,000 children in up to six counties. Youth Arts Classes(YAC) include fine art classes for youth and workshops and camps year round in acting, musical theatre dance, chorus, stage combat, radio drama, acting for the camera, improvisation and more. YAC has worked in partnership with PlayMakers Repertory Company and ArtsCenter Stage on annual productions. Youth Performing Arts Conservatory(YPAC). TAC is home to the area's premiere performing arts program for Triangle youth (grades 1-12). Started in the fall of 2005, YPAC offers classes, workshops and camps year round in acting, musical theatre, stage combat, radio drama, on- camera acting, improvisation, technical theater and more. YPAC serves over 200 children annually from four counties.

The Gallery exhibitions highlight the work of more than 100 local and regional artists in 12 exhibitions a year. The East End Gallery provides a second gallery space, offering monthly exhibitions featuring a mix of local and regional artists. Proposed Uses of Grant Funds During the course of the 2012-2013 school year TAC will continue its ongoing partnership with Central Elementary(Orange County Schools)for a fifth consecutive year. This partnership is part of TAC's focus school program, which was designed to provide enriching, meaningful arts integration experiences to low income students over the long term. TAC's partnership with Central Elementary has also been part of the school's School Improvement Plan since the inception of the program in 2008. The motivation behind the focus school program was to bring the arts into classrooms by teaching curriculum through various art forms, thus offering a program that had a lasting impact on the culture and environment of the school. Consequently, students would be exposed to an alternative method of instruction, which better suits all educational environments because it caters to students across the spectrum who have different learning styles. While we originally planned on working with Central Elementary for three years (beginning in 2008-2009), the program was so successful and in such high demand from teachers that we sought additional funding to continue working with them for another two years. Through this collaboration, TAC has implemented arts integration residencies in every grade level (K-5)at Central Elementary each year for the past four years, and last year the program was expanded to include pre-K upon requests from the teachers. In total, TAC has implemented 25 residencies at Central Elementary and seven professional development workshops for classroom teachers. In addition, TAC also partnered with Central Elementary in the 2011-2012 school year for Literacy Night, which was an evening for parents that focused on using new arts-based strategies to help their children at home with literacy concepts. During a residency, a teaching artist goes into all classes in a particular grade level and works with students to teach them specific curriculum concepts(often times multiple concepts spanning different subject areas)through a desired art form (chosen by the teachers). Grades pre-K, K, 1, 2, 3 and 5 will all have Arts-Based Learning Experiences (ABLE) residencies, which are residencies designed around a School Show students see at TAC. The experience prepares students for seeing the show, while simultaneously integrating the chosen art form into curriculum. For example, in the 2011-2012 school year, third grade students studied Native American culture by constructing and decorating masks and totem poles that directly correlated to Native American storytelling traditions, specifically those of the Pacific Northwest. The five-day residency was specifically tied to the show"GEMS: The World's Wisdom Stories," by Doug Berky that students saw at The ArtsCenter in November 2011. Fourth grade students will participate in a Page to Stage residency that gives students the opportunity to analyze a required reading through poetry and music, thus providing a more enriching experience. Students will first identify major plot points in a story, and then convert those plot points to poems and then song lyrics. Outside of class, the teaching artist will score the student-written work and direct rehearsals with professional musicians and singers who will then come back to the school about a month following the residency to perform the piece for the students. In addition to residencies, TAC will also have a professional development workshop for classroom teachers focused on arts integration, which will be designed alongside the principal of Central _ , ~. ^ ThoArtsCanhsr . Elementary to ensure the subject matter is relevant and beneficial to the teachers. Furthennova, we will continue focusing our efforts on involving parents and families in their child's experience through hosting 'parent nights'for each residency, as well as participating in school wide events such as Literacy Night, as well as district events, such as Multicultural Night. Central Elementary is a Title I school located in Hillsborough, NC, and is part of the Orange County School District(OCS).Approximately 69%of the students receive free or reduced lunch and are considered economically disadvantaged. As o resu|t, many of the students du not have the opportunity to experience the arts outside of school. There are approximately 253 students at Central Elementary with approximately 5196 female and 4Q96 male. The ethnicity cf students ioas follows: 4396 Africa n-American. 3A96White, 1296 Hispanic and 6Y6 Other. Students attending Central Elementary primarily reside in Hillsborough and Efland, NC. Funding in the amount of$1500 from the Orange County Arts Commission will specifically go towards teaching artists fees associated with the seven residencies at Central Elementary in the 2O12-2013 school year. t I, G2012-13 Arts Program Application — Page Three ORANGE COUNTY ARTS COMMISSION Financial Information Please provide a projected budget for your proposed project utilizing the format below.

It will be available by July 1, 2012 and can be provided at that time to the OCAC if requested. Artist Contact List Planning for the residencies that will take place at Central Elementary in the 2012-2013 school year will take place beginning in August 2012. Grades pre-K, K, 1, 2, 3 and 5 will participate in Arts-Based Learning Experiences (ABLE), and grade 4 will participate in a Page to Stage residency. While the residency models will remain the same, details need to be planned at the beginning of the school year to ensure the residencies really cater to the specific learning needs of the students in each grade level. Furthermore, grade levels participating in an ABLE residency will need to choose a School Show to attend, which will serve as the focal point for the residency. Once those decisions are made, The ArtsCenter's Arts In Education Coordinator will work closely with classroom teachers to secure teaching artists and outline a detailed plan for each residency. As a result, all of the teaching artists are not known at this time; however, several artists have worked at Central Elementary multiple times in the past four years and will likely be returning, so their resumes and contact information are included.

Classroom Newsletters Classroom teachers highlight residency experiences in classroom newsletters whenever possible. 4 Central Elementary: Pre-Kindergarten January 11, 2012 Dear Families: It is with great excitement that I share with you a wonderful learning opportunity your child will be engaging in over the next couple weeks! In collaboration with The ArtsCenter and with funding from the Orange County Arts Commission, our class will be participating in a creative dance residency focused around our unit on winter, specifically bears and their eating and sleeping patterns during winter. A teaching artist will be coming into our classroom on January 11, 12, 17, 19 and 20 to work with students to creatively "move" stories and physically experience emergent literacy concepts such as sequencing, science concepts such as the seasons, and math concepts such as counting and positional words. Students will learn about the four seasons by inventing patterns of movement that correspond to each season, with specific emphasis on the winter season with the book Time to Sleep by Denise Fleming. The students will learn to sing and creatively move a bear song and create patterns for movement for the animals in the story, as well as learn basic dance symbols that denote dance actions. During the residency, students will learn directional terminology such as forward, backward, sideways, levels of movement, such as high and low; speeds such as slow and quick; and energy states such as sharp and smooth. To support your child in this creative journey, please ask your child about his/her experiences during the residency. Also, please have your child wear sneakers and if your child has long hair, please tie it back on the days of the residency since they will be engaging in several movement activities. Thank you in advance for your support! Sincerely, Alvut Classroom Newsletter February 26, 2010 Black History Month This week our class completed a three week project on for Black History Month in the media center. We began by reading biographies of famous African Americans. Students were divided into groups and each group studied a different person. Student took notes on their person to answer 5 essential questions. From their notes, each student wrote a page about their person and a specific time period of their life. Students complied their work on a poster and shared with the class. The other first grade classes also participated and we made a museum in our hallway to celebration what we learned. I was so impressed with my class as they rose to this challenge, it was great to see how much they have grown this year! Balance and Motion We just started our new science unit on balance and motion. Students have been exploring how things balance, and how things move. The first grade team received a grant this year from the Orange County Arts Commission to have a residency with a dance teacher to incorporate movement into our study. We are very excited to experience this with our students and they have been very motivated by our study. Punctuation In writing we are currently studying punctuation and how writers use punctuation. Students are beginning to use periods, question marks, exclamation marks, ellipses, and commas. I am seeing a lot of growth in everyone's writing during this unit. We will begin our buddy study spelling program in the next week or two, more information will be coming. $ox Tops; Thanks for all your support sending in box tops and soup labels. Our class took 2nd place in the school-wide contest and received 30 minutes of extra recess as our reward. We are saving this for a nice day when it gets a little warmer. Yo4 may still send in box tops at anytime to support our school. Thanks again! - Work Samples Lesson Plan (Jane Berqman/Helen Buiskool) Arts-Based Learning Experiences visual arts residency with third grade students at Central Elementary in November 2011: Studying Native American Traditions Through Folktales and Mask-Making Lesson Plan (Kim Arrington) Page to Stage residency at Central Elementary with fourth grade students in November/December 2010 Lesson Plan (Jody Cassell) Dance residency at Saluda Elementary with pre-K students in April 2011 Residency Pictures/Videos Proposal for Arts Residency at Central Elementary/Winter 2011 Artists: Jane Bergman and Helen Buiskool Studying Native American Traditions Through Folktales and Mask-Making Over the course of a 5-day residency, third grade students at Central Elementary School will learn about Native American culture through hands-on activities and classroom discussions. The main focus will be on the story-telling traditions of the Native Americans and will tie in with Doug Berkey's performance of"World's Wisdom Stories" at the Arts Center in November. We will focus on the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and their storytelling tradition of using hand-carved masks and totem poles. Students will be shown examples of masks and totem poles as we point out the distinct design elements typical of the Pacific Northwest region. For the hands-on activities, the students will be making their own cardboard masks utilizing the characteristic design motifs of the Pacific Northwest people. The characters of the masks will be based on the Native American folktale retold by Anne Siberell in her book "Whale in the Sky." The masks we will be making will be based on three main characters from the story—Thunderbird, Whale and Frog, with each class making one of the animals. In addition, the students will also learn about totem poles and how they were used as for storytelling among the Native Americans. In small groups, students will construct a small totem pole out of clay with each child sculpting an animal of their choice. They can then use their totem pole to compose their own story. ~ � PROPOSED DAILY SCHEDULE In general, each day of the residency will include a short discussion component followed by a hands-on activity: Discussion topic: We will present a brief overview of the residency, telling the students about the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest—their location, their traditions and culture—and explaining our plan for the students' hands-on activities and final performance. We will then present the story of"Whale in the Sky" on the SmartBoard accompanied by the taped narration. We will discuss how the Native Americans obtained their color pigments which they used in their artwork. We will hand out pre-drawn masks to each student. Each classroom will work one one character of the story (Thunderbird, Whale, Frog). For this first day, students will start working on their masks by laying down a thin layer of paint on them as well as their accompanying headbands. In addition, using the limited palette of the Native Americans (black, white, red, green, yellow), students will paint sheets of color which will be used for the cutout shapes to be applied to their masks on Day 5. Discussion topic: We will discuss totem poles and how they also served as a story-telling objects. After a brief demo showing how to form their animals, each table (of 4 or 5)will be making their own totem pole made up from individual animals which each child will sculpt from a piece of self-hardening clay. The group can then make up their own story about the animals on their totem pole. (This could be used as a writing assignment in class...) DAY 3 (Thurs. 11/17) (Field Trip Day to The Arts Center to view Doug Berkey's performance of"World's Wisdom Stories") Discussion topic: We will discuss the ArtsCenter show and solicit comments regarding the masks, the presentation, favorite scenes, etc. After lunch: Students will make their own shaker which they will decorate and embellish and can take back to class with them. DAY 4 (Mon. 11/21) Discussion topic: We will further discuss the PNW's natural resources and how they influenced the culture. Activity: The totem pole characters the students created on Day 2 should now be hardened enough for painting. The students will be shown how to do the detail painting on their totem pole characters and will stack their characters on provided stands to complete their totem pole. In addition, and if time allows, we will give each student 1-2 salmon shapes to paint (since the salmon were important characters in the "Whale in the Sky" story and a vital natural resource for the PNW people.) These can be used for display purposes. DAY 5 (Tue. 11/22) Discussion topic: We will review what was learned about the PNW people. We will also discuss the traditional design motifs which appear throughout the PNW people's decorations. Activity: Using the color sheets created on Day 1, students will be asked to trace the various design elements using provided templates. They will then do the final work on their masks by Blueing on these painted cut-outs and adding additional color with paint. The masks will be attached to their headbands which can also be decorated. If possible, we would also like to build in a few minutes for a quick photo session.

Pigs are noble.Pigs are clever, Pigs are courteous.However, Now and then,to break this rule, One meets a pig who is a fool. What,for example,would you say, If strolling through the woods one day, Right there in front of you you saw A pig who'd built his house of STRAW? The Wolf who saw it licked his lips, And said,"That pig has had his chips." "Little pig,little pig,let me come in!" "No,no,by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!" "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!" The little pig began to pray, But Wolfie blew his house away. He shouted,"Bacon,pork and ham! Oh,what a lucky Wolf I am!" And though he ate the pig quite fast, He carefully kept the tail till last. Wolf wandered on,a trifle bloated. Surprise,surprise,for soon he noted Another little house for pigs, And this one had been built of TWIGS! "Little pig,little pig,let me come in!" "No,no,by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!" "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!" The Wolf said,"Okay,here we go!" He then began to blow and blow. The little pig began to squeal. He cried,"Oh Wolf,you've had one meal! Why can't we talk and make a deal? The Wolf replied,"Not on your nelly!" And soon the pig was in his belly. "Two juicy little pigs!"Wolf cried, "But still I'm not quite satisfied! I know how full my tummy's bulging, But oh,how I adore indulging." So creeping quietly as a mouse, The Wolf approached another house, •house which also had inside •little piggy trying to hide. "You'll not get me!" the Piggy cried. "I'll blow you down!" the Wolf replied. "You'll need,"Pig said, "a lot of puff, And I don't think you've got enough." Wolf huffed and puffed and blew and blew. The house stayed up as good as new. "If I can't blow it down,"Wolf said, I'll have to blow it up instead. I'll come back in the dead of night And blow it up with dynamite!" Pig cried,"You brute! I might have known!" Then,picking up the telephone, He dialed as quickly as he could The number of red Riding Hood. "Hello,"she said. "Who's speaking?Who? Oh,hello,Piggy,how d'you do?" Pig cried,"I need your help,Miss Hood! Oh help me,please! D'you think you could?" "I'll try of course,"Miss Hood replied. "What's on your mind...?" "A Wolf?" Pig cried. "I know you've dealt with wolves before, And now I've got one at my door!" "My darling Pig," she said, "my sweet, That's something really up my street. I've just begun to wash my hair. r But when it's dry,I'll be right there." A short while later,through the wood, Came striding brave Miss Riding Hood. The Wolf stood there,his eyes ablaze, And yellowish,like mayonnaise. His teeth were sharp,his gums were raw, And spit was dripping from his jaw. Once more the maiden's eyelid flickers. She draws the pistol from her knickers. Once more she hits the vital spot, And kills him with a single shot. Pig,peeping through the window,stood And yelled,"Well done,Miss Riding Hood!" Ah,Piglet,you must never trust Young ladies from the upper crust.

Ain't no use in divin' What's the use in jivin' Straighten up and fly right Cool down,papa,don't you blow your top. The buzzard told the monkey"You're chokin'me Release your hold and I'll set you free The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said Your story's so touching but it sounds just like a lie Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down,papa,don't you blow your top.
