B2 The Diily Tar Heel Thursday, August 25. 1977 Arts e An awareness of black culture capitalized xpand By VANESSA SIDDLE Stiff Wrh Carolina offers much. To the basketball fan, a nationally ranked Tar Heel team is bragged upon. To the junior Einsteins, Carolina boasts a number one in the South university rating. There are radio stations and newspapers, pamphlets and print-outs, professors, dogs, everything. Enough to lose yourself in the crowd. Fortunately, black culture has not been lost. In song, in dance, in readings, the black community still offers the opportunity to witness, or become a part of, an appreciation of black heritage. Check the ways: Ebony Readers The Ebony Readers are known for their performances of dramatic readings from prominent black poets. On-stage, they work around a central theme of love and peace, and derive from that theme poetry or prose readings which present a black perspective. The Readers originated when a slated one-performance interlude of four years ago was so well received by the student body that the effort continued. Today the group boasts 15 to 20 minutes and, in addition to on-campus performances, receives invitations from all over the state. Readers research their material, evaluate one another, switch pieces when necessary and for dramatic effect, sometimes use music as a background. Pieces are never actually read, but are memorized with only infrequent references to notes. Anyone interested in dramatic reading is eligible for try outs. These require that the perspective reader do at least three pieces before a panel of Ebony Readers which always includes two graduate students in speech and English. Performers are judged on Benefit concert features local artists A benefit concert will be held this Sunday afternoon in the ForestTheater on the UNC campus across from Cobb Dorm on Country Club Road.
