In April 2019, Soul In Motion, under the direction of Michael Friend and Pam Lassiter, will celebrate 35 years in the arts with a grand concert at the historic F. Scott Fitzgerald Theater in Rockville, MD, featuring several premiere African Dance and Drum Ensembles. Five years ago, Soul In Motion 30 featured Mama Kadiatou and Balafon, Coyaba, Farafina Kan, An Ka Fo, Taratibu, Vision Contemporary Dance Ensemble, and Rockville's own - The Finest. Thanks to your support, our 30th Anniversary Concert in 2014, was capacity filled at the 442 seat theater.
We're asking you to please assist Soul In Motion financially to make our 35th Anniversary event a huge success. Our overall goal is $25,000. Your tax deductible contributions will assist with defraying the expense of advertising, catering, theater rental, costumes, technical support, artist fees, transportation, and lodging.
It's also our goal, once again, to bring the beauty of African Dance and Drum to the residents of Rockville, MD in a way that will be memorable, educational, and energetically entertaining.
Over the last 34 years, we've successfully produced an anniversary concert for friends, families, and fans. Some of the memorable programs of the past include "Soul In Motion 30", "It's Our time", "Still Here", "Kakilambe", "Soli_Kassa", "Make History Now", "Back to the Root", "1-2-3 Senegal"; and most recently "Prequel". Many of you attended all or several of these performances and we greatly appreciate your continued support. Unlike the two-day presentations of the past, we understand that Soul In Motion 35 will be a much larger undertaking - and we need your support.
If you're unable to give financially at this time we totally understand. We want to encourage you to past the word of the Soul In Motion 35th Anniversary campaign to your friends and family via FaceBook and other social networking sites. Your support in this way is needed and greatly appreciated.
From the entire Soul In Motion Family - THANK YOU!!!!!
