A benefit concert for the Centre for the Arts in Human Development
(CAHD), presented in November 2011 by the Applied Human Sciences Student
Association, raised over $5000 for the Fine Arts research centre.
According to CAHD Executive Director Lenore Vosberg, the event was a great success.
"The
interaction between the Centre performers and the performing students
from Concordia demonstrated genuine integration. We are very pleased and
grateful that the Applied Human Sciences Student Association of
Concordia took the initiative to organize this important event on the
Loyola campus. We are hoping this will be an annual event and that
further collaboration with this student - run association will
facilitate more awareness at the University of the Centre and its
unique creative arts therapies program for people with special needs."
The
event raised funds which will be used toward the production costs of
the CAHD's upcoming June 2012 original cultural ethnodrama production.
Directed by Creative Arts Therapies associate professor Stephen Snow,
this unique piece of theatre is based on the lives of Centre
participants and the importance of culture in their lives.
