Azerbaijan Professionals Visit the SoPA |
|
A group of young professionals from the country of Azerbaijan visited the School of Performing Arts today. Their focus while touring and observing was “How Theater and the Arts Can Promote Social Change.”
The five visitors and a facilitator are spending a week in North Georgia to study and contrast the differences in how cultural arts and education are utilized here versus in their country. Selected by the U.S. Embassy, the professionals are leaders in the fine arts in their country and will bring home ideas to implement into their curriculum.
Primarily centering on musical theater, the group toured the Blackbox Theater and Falany Performing Arts Center and attended drama and dance classes. One visitor even did an impromptu dance with the instructor.
The delegates are being hosted by members of the Friendship Force Club in Big Canoe, Georgia. Patrons of the FPAC and Funk Heritage Center volunteers organized the day at Reinhardt. The visit is part of the Open World program, administered by the Congressional Office for International Leadership (COIL), which networks with strategic countries, including Azerbaijan in Eurasia.
