Description
Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona (Free Arts) is celebrating its 19th year in collaboration with Dance Theatre West and the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts with the annual Storybook Ballet performance on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 3 p.m. This year’s performance is Swan Lake with a Splash! Young children from local homeless shelters and foster care group homes will join the Dance Theatre West Storybook Ballet Company on stage. This free dance performance is lighthearted, fun and perfect for the entire family.
The event will be held at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, located at 7380 East 2nd Street, Scottsdale, AZ. The exhibit gallery will open at 2:00 p.m., the dance performance at 3 p.m. and a community art activity will take place at 4 p.m. This program is possible through the generous support from the Scottsdale Arts, Scottsdale League for the Arts, The Bob &Renee Parsons Foundation, Thunderbird Charities, Arizona Lottery, and Scottsdale 20/30.
“We’re so fortunate to have a long standing partner like Dance Theater West,” said Jessica Flowers, program director at Free Arts. “The partnership has provided hundreds of children with an opportunity to perform on stage and experience the arts for the first time.”

Guests will also be invited to view the exhibit; I am Human inside the Scottsale Center for the Performing Arts. The exhibit was carefully created by 10 teenagers from a local residential treatment center over the course of three weeks. Teaching Artists, Kris Kollasch and Laurie Provost, led participants in creating a mixed-media piece reflecting on the traits that make us human, the roads they have traveled and where they might dream to go. Throughout the series, participants explored and utilized a myriad of visual art techniques exploring our unique qualities as human kind, to create a personal work that represents how they envision their futures.
