Leroy Ediage dances during the interactive show “Buy My Soul and Call It Art,” which discusses the importance and worth of black artistry. Derrick Beasley Instead of writing a play to represent the challenges facing black artists, Durham artist Monét Noelle Marshall chose to craft an entire experience. Marshall transformed VAE Raleigh in downtown Raleigh into the set of her interactive show “Buy My Soul and Call It Art.” She brought it to life with the help of a team of Triangle artists May 19 and 20. Handed wads of play money at the start of the show, visitors must answer the question, “What is black art worth to you?” as they encounter black dancers, creators, artists and more. Visitors can use their pretend

The final part of Marshall’s trilogy, “Buy My Art and Call It Holy,” is scheduled for December.
cash to support the artists, but they soon realize the system isn’t benefiting the people that they thought it did. “This piece is me saying out loud that I see the system,” Marshall said. “I’m not fooled, and I know that a lot of it is harmful.”
Marshall is a familiar face to many in the Triangle arts community. She has been active in the Durham companies Manbites Dog Theater and the now closed Common Ground Theatre. She’s currently running her own brainchild, MOJOAA Performing Arts Company. Interactive performances are nothing new for Marshall — MOJOAA got attention for its show “Escape to Freedom” in which “actors guide and thwart audiences as they try to escape antebellum slave life.”
“Buy My Soul and Call It Art” is the first piece in Marshall’s “Buy It Call It” trilogy and premiered in January at Durham’s Living Arts Collective. The next installment, “Buy My Body and Call It a Ticket,” runs June 8 to 16 at The Fruit in Durham.
Kyma Lassiter assisted with the Durham and Raleigh showings of “Buy My Soul and Call It Art.” She played a tour guide who took spectators from artist to artist.
A carnival theme sets the scene for this show that asks, “What price are you paying for your body? What would you admit to be free?” “It is me letting go of my shame about myself,” Marshall said. “There’s nothing anybody can say about me if I’m like, ‘Here’s who I am. Here’s what I am. You can’t use me against me.’ That feels incredibly scary but also really liberating.”
“People get to examine worth in general,” Lassiter said. “Self-worth, the worth of art, the worth of black art. … The importance of supporting artists in their own spaces and not putting their own views on what the artists [are] trying to display.” Read the entire article at triangletoday.com.

FUN WAYS TO ENCOURAGE YOUR KIDS TO LOVE RUNNING Kids Town for Triangle Today Running is a great sport for every age, but it’s especially wonderful for kids. It not only helps them burn off excess energy, it may help them boost memory and learning. Here are a few fun ways to help encourage your kids to run and have a great time doing it. Kid-Focused Fun Run Series Kids Run Durham , a 5-week program put on by Bull City Running Club, encourages kids to get moving with a race-series built around children aged 4-12. Each weekly track meet style event starts with a warm-up and a special guest speaker, followed by fun runs ranging in distance from 100 meters to one mile. Though children are assigned to a distance according to their age, they are welcomed to participate in other distances as well. The Raleigh-based program, Healthy Kids Running Series, also offers a weekly fun run program for kids as young as 2. The youngest runners run only 50 yards, with older runners going up to a mile. Both programs focus not only on fitness but fun, which is key to keeping kids engaged and enjoying the sport.
Join a Club Virtual running clubs are another great way to help encourage kids to run. Programs like Marathon Kids and 100 Mile Club’s Club 262 teach kids to set goals and work towards them at their own pace, rewarding them for meeting benchmarks along the way. These programs motivate kids to move but also help them learn big goals can be broken into shorter, manageable steps. Families are encouraged to join together, putting the focus on teamwork and cooperation. Race With Your Kids Encourage your children by setting the example. Run a race with them! Many local races offer kids races as part of the event, so even if your kids aren’t quite ready to run a longer distance they can still participate. The Running of the Bulls 8k offers a kids run, as does Raleigh’s City of Oaks Marathon. For extra fun, try a “novelty” race featuring bubbles, foam or colored powder. These events are typically more laid back and fun for the kid in all of us. The Raleigh Color Vibe 5k allows kids 12 and under free with a paid adult.
