The Progressive Arts Alliance is proud to present the Third Annual

Progressive Arts Alliance (PAA) in cooperation with Hathaway Brown School
will present the RHAPSODY Hip-Hop Summer Arts Camp from August 2-13, 2004,
from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays at Hathaway Brown School, 19600 North
Park Boulevard in Shaker Heights.  The camp is open to students ages
12 to 19.

Registration is $175 and $200 after July 1.

Camp participants will develop an appreciation for hip-hop culture and
history as they experience first hand hip-hop as a dynamic contemporary
art form; explore self expression through the various elements of hip-hop;
and grow in a fun environment that enhances team work and respect, self
esteem and presentation skills. During the RHAPSODY Hip-Hop Summer Arts
Camp, professional artists/educators from the Progressive Arts Alliance
will facilitate workshops, demonstrations, and hands-on activities.

Student participants will explore the four artistic expressions of hip-hop
that include DJing, using two turntables and a mixer to create music;
MCing or rapping, speaking in rhyme with rhythm; breaking, the acrobatic
dance; and aerosol art, or graffiti.

Through the guidance of the instructors, campers will create a final
project/performance to be featured during a 3 p.m. presentation on the
last day of camp, August 13th.  The public is invited to attend this free
performance.

Now in its third year, the annual Hip-Hop Summer Arts Camp is an
installment of the RHAPSODY Hip-Hop Education Program: Recognizing Hip-Hop
as a Powerful Source of Development for Youth. RHAPSODY is a program of
the Progressive Arts Alliance, one of Cleveland’s newest non-profit arts
organizations. The mission of PAA is to provide experiences in the
contemporary arts that stimulate critical thinking and promote progressive
thought.  Much of PAA’s educational mission centers around the utilization
of the contemporary arts as a compelling educational tool.  For more
