Story Time: Tales on Sugar Hill
It was a rainy day at the park - inside the Rio III Gallery - as Javaka Steptoe led an enthusiastic group of children and adults through the images, sounds and movement inspired by the book Rain Play, written by Cynthia Cotton with illustrations by Javaka. Tap dance artist Claudia Rahardjanoto provided the sound effects, and led the children in a dance lesson that had them tapping out a routine for a very appreciate audience!
