All-City Arts Festival Henry Maier Festival Park 200 N. Harbor Dr. • Milwaukee, WI 53202
May 9-11, 2018 Presented by:
SUMMERFEST FO NDATION, INC. © 2018 Milwaukee Public Schools
Welcome from Dr. Darienne B. Driver, Superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools Welcome to the first MPS All-City Arts Festival hosted by Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. and the Summerfest Foundation, Inc.! During these three days, I hope you’ll be surprised and delighted by the talents of our students and our community. This festival has many art forms to offer: music, dance, theater, spoken word, visual arts, culinary arts, and more. We are proud to showcase more than 190 different performing groups from more than 120 schools across the city. The Summerfest stages, which host some of the biggest acts in music, will provide an unforgettable experience to more than 8,000 students. This event is built upon the foundation of the MPS Biennial Music Festival, which celebrated its 46th year in 2016. This historic event featured thousands of students from across the district making music in bands, choirs, and orchestras. Then – and now – the festival represents the collective effort and expertise of many people in order to showcase the talents of our students. As the grand finale to the MPS Year of the Arts, I’m excited and thrilled by what this year has offered our students. This effort was about much more than making art or staging performances. The arts teach creativity, persistence, and problem solving, and they nurture teamwork, pride, and self-confidence in our young people. The value of these experiences will last a lifetime. The All-City Arts Festival would not be possible without the dedication and support of many individuals and organizations, including Milwaukee World Festival Inc., the Summerfest Foundation, Inc., the MPS Foundation, the many community arts organizations that have supported our schools this year, and our teachers, staff, school leaders, and families. On behalf of the entire district and all our students – thank you! Please enjoy our festival and show your appreciation to our students, staff, and volunteers! Best,
Darienne B. Driver, Ed.D. Superintendent Milwaukee Public Schools
“Music is a world within itself, it’s a language we all understand, with an equal opportunity for all to sing, dance, and clap their hands.” - Stevie Wonder As Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. and the Summerfest Foundation, Inc. welcomes the students, educators, administrators and volunteers of Milwaukee Public Schools, I am reminded of these words from the legendary performer Stevie Wonder. Indeed, we all have this opportunity to sing, dance and celebrate the Milwaukee Public Schools Year of the Arts! On behalf of the board of directors and staff of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc., and the Summerfest Foundation, welcome to Henry Maier Festival Park. This facility is one of the jewels of our community and it is a perfect setting for this important event. Over the next three days, students from 120 Milwaukee schools will share the same facility that will soon host world-renowned artists and hundreds of thousands of fans. Yet, we know all successful performers gain a strong foundation through education. For that reason, we could not be more proud to kick off our 2018 summer season with the MPS All-City Arts Festival. Just as Summerfest was founded on the principle to showcase the diversity of Milwaukee, the MPS Year of the Arts embraces a wide variety of art forms and the students who represent them. From dance and choral arts to classical music and culinary arts, the MPS All-City Arts Festival represents the vibrant and diverse nature of our city and will create lifelong memories for all those involved. To the students: This three-day event is a celebration of all your dedication, hard work and talent. We are exceptionally proud of you and congratulate you on all that you have achieved. We applaud you! In closing, we are honored to support the MPS All-City Arts Festival in their mission to encourage our community’s youth to express themselves through art and performance. Thank you to all participating students, teachers, chaperones and parents for this opportunity to showcase Milwaukee’s youth. In Celebration,
Don Smiley President & CEO Milwaukee World Festival, Inc.

Arts Activities
Students attending the All-City Arts Festival will participate in a variety of arts activities led by our partners. These activities will enhance the festival experience and introduce students to new art forms. The Truck Studio provides meaningful, drop-in art-based enrichment activities free of charge to youth. We help young people become more inquisitive, creative, flexible, imaginative and confident while fostering a sense of community among children, artists, and neighborhoods. Arts @ Large will be facilitating a mixed-media visual arts project with students at the All-City Arts Festival. The students will have the opportunity to explore the art of zentangle using metal embossing techniques and fine markers on wood. ArtWorks for Milwaukee and Milwaukee Film will engage students in film viewing and filmmaking in a sequential set of activities, including viewing films screened in the Rated K: For Kids festival program; filming (capturing students’ opinions of the films they viewed); and editing the gathered footage. The Mad Hot Dance Party will bring together students of all ages for a shared dance experience. Danceworks instructor/s will demonstrate and review a simple dance, like the Mad Hot Salsa, and then orchestrate dance time to allow students to dance together. Join DJ Bizzon and students from Reagan’s DJ Club and DJ Bizzon’s Scratch Sessions for a quick lesson on DJing techniques. Join Express Yourself Milwaukee artists as we co-create colorful abstract designs on paper with watercolor paint and spray bottles. We will also do printmaking with stamps, carved blocks, and ink onto colorful paper. Join musicians as we explore rhythms and sounds created by a variety of percussion instruments from around the world. Students will receive an introduction from First Stage to the world of puppetry and toy theater. Students will be put into small groups to put on their own production of the Three Little Pigs using a cardboard toy theater box and pre-made puppet characters. Milwaukee producer and musician Kiran “Q the Sun” Vedula of the collective New Age Narcissism will lead young people in the creation of hip-hop/rap beats using the software Ableton Live. 6 | All-City Arts Festival
Kohl's Color Wheels is the Milwaukee Art Museum's off-site studio program that sets up art projects (inspired by the museum's collection and feature exhibitions) at school and community events year-round. This fast-paced workshop will give students the chance to explore the fundamentals of acting, storytelling, and improvisation alongside Milwaukee Rep teaching artists, teen council members, and youth leaders. Students will be invited to collaborate, say, “YES!”, make big choices, and use their actor tools to go in-role and positively communicate and express themselves. Join Skai Academy’s Kai Simone as she takes you on a fun, interactive musical journey as she blends jazz, blues, pop, gospel and funk with traditional and original children’s songs. Each 30 minute performance will include creative movement, opportunities for rhythmic instruments and a visit from Bark Bark the puppet and his sidekick LaLa. TBEY’s dance team will perform an interactive dance demo where the students can follow along and participate. The dancers will show off their skills and teach steps to a few simple to learn dances. TBEY’s visual art instructor will demo the art of printmaking and create original works of art throughout the day. The instructor will guide students through the process of making prints – from a blank sheet of paper to finished artwork. ProStart® students will be doing a cooking demonstration where they will display their culinary knowledge learned in the classroom. Wisconsin Conservatory of Music faculty will be onsite at various locations to offer students the opportunity to try out playing an instrument – trumpet, trombone, clarinet, flute, violin, cello, guitar, saxophone, keyboard and more. Xalaat youth ensemble will entertain students with a quick performance before Xalaat instructors lead a drum and dance workshop. Students will have the opportunity to test out their own skills by dancing and drumming to the African music.
