Unequal Education will air in at the unequal educational opportu empowering inner city youth conjunction with PBS Hack To nities otfered by two New York education system through the expe riences of two seventh grade stu dents, Lonnie and Jaines. While James, who plans to make it into an Ivy League college, attends a public with microscopes in his science class, and resources for track and field events; Lonnie's school has no outdoor playing field, and lacks the staff and resources necessary to provide a decent sci ence education ? deficiences which are reflective of the educa tional inadequacies which may keep Lonnie from attaining his dream of becoming an attorney. For EVC stu dent producer Linden Harrigan, lalso a product of the Bronx public school system, the disparities revealed in Lonnie's and James' education really hit home. "I started to connect Lonnie's experience with my own school experience. This is what happened to me. You don't notice the differences when you're part of iL" These inadequacies take on national significance when analyses from teachers, parents, principals and community activists establish that this report reveals that this true life story is not a localized problem, but is indicative of a nationwide educational crisis.

I The African-American Dance ?Ensemble is a special troupe of ? ! than performances, they are gath erings that reinforce and celebrate the notion ot community. The company's charismatic leader, Chuck Davis, has been called "The Pied Piper of Dance." Voices of Seph.irad explores in song and dance a stunning Jew ish cultural tradition which origi nated in medieval Spain (Sepharad in Hebrew). Graceful, fiery, and elegant, the melodies and their archaic Judcio -Spanish dialect were sung throughout the Mediterranean world, where Jews resettled after their expulsion from Spain in 1492. Active since 1986, Voices of Sepharad has performed to criti cal acclaim throughout North America and Europe. They display a unique talent for creating vivid and moving performances. Love, jealousy, anger, merriment, death, solitude, study, devotion ? these are the great themes of life and song, and all are represented in their selec tion of music. Hasita Oza is a graduate of the Nrityabharati Kathak Dance academy in Poona, India. She will perform in a special one-man pre sentation of classic North Indian dances. Oza incorporates expres sive gestures, intricate footwork, music and costumes in her perfor mance. The culmination of these elements creates the world of India and a unique window into the rituals as well as everyday life of Northern Indians. Through the classical North Indian dance form Kathak, Oza brings the lore of ancient India to her audience. Asian-American Dance The atre is a panoramic display of classical and folk dances from China, Korea, Japan, India, Indonesia and the Philippines. In colorful and elaborate cos tumes and makeup, the skilled performers emphasize the endur ing and continually evolving nature of these Asian traditions, and present an edifying, enriching and entertaining program _ . Eleanor S. Yung as well as guest choreographers reflect the growth and continuity of Asian cultures in modern American con text. Dances are based in the idiom of modem dance, but draw from Asian aesthetics, philosophy and style. The Ensemble Europa is an exciting group that mixes Euro pean traditional music with American Jazz and Blues. A daz zling romantic gypsy violin, a Serbian jazz waltz, the beauty of a Transylvanian lullaby, the pas sion of a boot-slapping Hungarian dance, a Romanian lunar experi ence ? mysterious melodies and driving rhythms ? all come together to create the sights and sounds of Ensemble Europa. The group is made up six musicians playing the violin, per cussion, guitar, tambourine, bass, keyboard as well as singing. Their backgrounds vary from teaching to playing in rock and roll bands. Grupo Aymara is Bolivia's premier folk troupe. Noted for its inspiring interpretations of Pre Hispanic and contemporary music of the Andes, Grupo Aymara has been a leading force in the revival and propagation of traditional Andean music. In the Bolivian Andes, music is an integral part of life. It is nec essary for every ritual and social occasion. It mirrors the values and world view of the indigenous Andean peoples who maintain a distinct way of life, close to nature with roots that predate the Inca Empire. Traditional Andean music utilizes indigenous scales and playing techniques, uncom mon to us in the west. The wind instruments relate to elements of the sky; stars, sun, wind and rain. The percussion instruments are related to the earth.
