Presents <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Carnival</span></b> - A celebration
of our diversity; fusing dance, theater, music, and rap in an exciting evening
of high energy, good fun for the entire family. The performance is a
collaboration with Berkeley High School's great artistic minds (Linda Carr,
Lauren Benjamin, Miss Betty, and Mama Naomi Washington-Diouf) combining modern,
Aztec, hip hop, African, fusion, Praise, Haitian, Persian, soca and
visuals to help you join the party. So expect to see a carnival happening with
dancers parading down the aisles with masks, bright costumes, stilt walkers,
skaters, and more. Watch students bring the flavor of the marching band with Southern
style stepping. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
