Shidaa Projects and the First Congregational Church of Berlin (FCCB) invite you to a free "Celebration of Community & Diversity" on Saturday Sept. 25th from 3 to 5 pm on the grounds of FCCB at 1808 Scott Hill Road in Berlin (VT). In case of rain, the celebration will be held on Sunday Sept. 26th at the same time and the same location.
Shidaa Projects Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on sharing West African Culture through dance, drumming and cultural education. Like our name, which means "gratefulness" in the Ghanaian language, our goal is to share our appreciation of community and diversity by bringing together drummers, dancers, and performers across multi-racial lines in a joyous celebration of this beautiful time of year and the wonderful communities in which we live.
Shidaa Projects is joined in this celebration by guest artists Akwaaba Dance Ensemble, based in New Hampshire. The Akwaaba Dance Ensemble brings together a group of professional West African drummers and dancers with many years of experience in Ghana, United Kingdom, and USA. The Akwaaba Ensemble's energetic and engaging performances will collaborate with the host artists Shidaa Projects, Inc to perform Ghanian Highlife and other rhythms from West Africa.
The First Congregational Church of Berlin has had a special relationship with the larger Berlin community ever since its founding in 1798. Our church grounds, including the VanDerreen Labyrinth, are open to everyone. Our church buildings are an important resource for community events. The church and steeple, in its classic New England style, is an iconic feature of the Berlin landscape, a visible symbol of the mutual support for one another that is so important in our community.
