Strengthening Community Through Generosity
M Ensemble Company was able to improve and continue our STUDENTS ON STAGE program virtually for four weeks. This program gave 25 kids from ages 6-15 the opportunity to participate in our ZOOM drama, music and dance classes. The classes were held every day with a rotation of each class for 45 minutes. Each participate received a hand delivered custom made xylophone to use and keep for their music lessons. The kids were enthusiastic with having to learn and participate in something creative while adjusting to a quarantine life, they were able to perform a 30-minute production.
Another initiative that M Ensemble is seeking to enhance is The New Works Project. Seeking original works in 10-15 minutes of length for streaming and that reflects the African American experience. This initiative will provide exposure to new playwrights and adapt to a possible ‘new normal’. The 2020-2021 New Works Project winner is Other Side Of America by. Jean Hyppolite & Deondra Lewis.
Give Miami Day is an annual giving movement uniting nonprofits – big and small, new and established – to celebrate and increase generosity in Greater Miami through online giving. The event helps raise awareness about the critical role Miami’s nonprofits play in our community and inspires all of us to give to causes we care about.
