Family Day Saturday, January 15, 2011 $30 per family (includes admission) $25 members No reservations required, but space is limited All materials provided MAD Family Day offers countless opportunities for children to create, learn and explore! Begin your exploration in The Global Africa Project, an exhibition that demonstrates the impact of African visual culture on contemporary art, craft and design around the world. Our Artist Educators will be in the galleries to provide additional insights into the exhibition and featured works and to engage youth in conversations about art. With breathtaking views of Central Park that will inspire children and adults alike, Family Day provides an array of exciting activities: Artist Educators will lead intergenerational workshops where families will craft unique hair adornments, "sound suits," and masks inspired by the exhibition; selected feature films and animated shorts showcased in The Brooklyn Film Festival's kidsfilmfest will be screened in our Public Programs room; and a chance to meet and work with our Open Studio Artist, Yuka Otani who will explores the various states of clear materials, like glass and melted sugar. But that's not all! The National Dance Institute (NDI) has teamed up with MAD! Master teacher, Bianca Johnson, will lead a unique intergenerational movement workshop with percussion accompaniment, followed by a live performance of The Drum Speaks, with fellow NDI members that will bring a close to the day's events. Founded in 1976 by Jacques d'Amboise, the renowned classical dancer/choreographer and former principal dancer of the New York City Ballet, NDI is a model program that exposes and educates thousands of New York public school children to the magic and discipline of dance through award-winning arts and learning programs.
