LOS ANGELES CARNIVAL ON TOUR
Los Angeles Carnival On Tour™ is an educational and
performing carnival arts ensemble.
Our mission
Our mission is to use carnival arts to enhance social and
educational events by encouraging cross-cultural dialogue and better
understanding and appreciation for the diversity of human experience.
We accomplish our mission by bringing multi-cultural
educational workshops and carnival arts performances into schools and
communities that would not normally experience this cultural expression.
The Ensemble
Los Angeles Carnival On Tour™ consists of dancers, musicians
and educators, and can be presented in groups ranging from 2 to 50 or more
musicians, educators and costumed dancers, wearing small, medium or large
costumes. The costumes range from individual decorated body suits to large
pieces that the dancer must display by rolling them on wheels. The
costumes combine color, shape and size to depict aspects of overriding
themes.
Brief History:
Los Angeles Carnival On Tour™ was formed in order to share
the carnival experience with communities that might not otherwise
experience this art form. The ensemble has been presented at Carnaval San
Francisco, California African American Museum, Carnaval UCLA, Westchester
Christmas Parade, the Kwanza Parade, Kingdom Day Parade, City of
Lynwood, City of Downey
and is a staple presentation at the annual Los Angeles Carnival Parade.
Los Angeles Carnival On
Tour is the current Dance Champion of the Kingdom Day Parade in Los
Angeles, having placed first in each of its appearances in the parade. Winners of the Kathryn Dunham Dance Trophy
in
2007, 2009 and 2010.
Fees
Fees for Los Angeles Carnival On Tour™ are determined by the
combination of costumes, musicians and educational workshops provided.
There is a minimum cost to mount a performance especially if the larger
costumes are involved as they incur transportation costs and require more
technical assistance. Workshops are organized for a minimum of ten
students and can incorporate standard-based educational instruction in a
variety of disciplines. Workshops can be provided during regular school
day or as an after school or community program.
