It encompasses the artist’s spirit and captures the surrounding world. This recipient of a 2008 South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual and Media Artists Fellowship seeks to show others what lies right before them; things they take for granted or perhaps don’t notice at all. http://www.broward.org/arts/cq_online/html/exercising_creativity.html The Broward County Cultural Division, the Cultural Foundation of Broward, Dillard Center for the Arts, Broward Center for the Performing Arts, the School Board of Broward County and the Broward Education Foundation definitely agree with him as they present their fifth annual conference on arts integration – Exercising Creativity: Developing the Whole Child through the Arts on Wednesday, August 13, 2008. http://www.broward.org/arts/cq_online/html/cultural_closeup.html Yes, it’s true that two of Darby Hayes’s specialties are kinesthetic body theater and teaching. It is in her voice that her enthusiasm for and dedication to her innovative theatrical projects shine through. It is clearly obvious, upon speaking to Hayes, that her commitment to the arts is strong, and that her love affair with learning and teaching is endless! http://www.broward.org/arts/cq_online/html/summer_art_camps.html Every summer Kris Coffett looks forward to seeing her campers become more and more polished as thespians. As the artistic director for Curtain Call Playhouse, she watches them “blossom” and hone their acting talents year after year.
