Ohio State Students to Perform in China
Nearly 30 students from The Ohio State University – including jazz musicians, dancers, and rappers – will travel to China March 7-17 to share their uniquely American art forms with audiences in cities and universities – and even an Embassy -- throughout China. The endeavor is funded by a U.S. State Department $50,000 grant and privately raised funds. The grant was awarded to the Center for American Culture collaboratively directed by Ohio State and Wuhan University (WHU) in Hubei Province, where students will perform, in addition to various other regions of China largely unfamiliar with the U.S.
Outcomes:
It is designed to create a stronger bond between the U.S. and China. The grant was focused on presenting American culture and arts to Chinese audiences through American jazz, dance, and rapping.
