The company of Soul in Motion drummers and dancers celebrate the continent of Artful Animals in a large, joyous dance concert with audience participation.  It begins with a multimedia presentation featuring examples of art, objects, and the beautiful animals from the jungles and veldts of Africa.  Afterwards, docents in the African Voices and Mammals Halls will welcome visitors for gallery visits to explore more about the land, the animals, and its people.

This project has been supported by the Smithsonian School Programming Fund.

About Meet the Museum
These programs are specially designed by Discovery Theater and the education departments of the nation's top museums to engage young people during their visits to the Smithsonian and foster scholarship - and fun!  Each program introduces themes and topics in a 20-30 minute Discovery Theater performance in a theater or space within a museum. The main event is the gallery visit to see objects, artifacts, or artwork on that theme; all in a one hour format (more time in the galleries is always an option).
