Bharata Natyam and SAJA Lister Swati Bhise are among the features of this program. Questions to producer Bruce Wallace <bruce.wallace@gmail.com>
THE ARTS WITHIN RELIGION, an interfaith religion special, will be broadcast
Sunday, April 22 on the CBS Television Network. Please check your local
station for exact time. (For those of you in New York City, it will air on
WCBS at 11:30 Sunday morning.)
This special profiles an Islamic Hip-Hop group called Native Deen, who
use rap music to promote a message of tolerance and understanding while
maintaining their religious and cultural identity. The members, Joshua
Salaam, Naeem Muhammad and Abdul-Malik Ahmad call themselves "Native Deen"
drawing from the Arabic word "deen" meaning Religion.
The program also looks at 'Bharata natyam,' the classical dance of South
India. This art form originated five thousand years ago in the temples of
ancient India. The roots of this tradition are from the Hindu Vedas, the
holy books of India. Through a performance and interview with Swati Gupte
Bhise, the program explains how this colorful dance is a reflection of the
religious and cultural history of India.
The program also features The Church of Holy Apostles soup kitchen,
where a weekly arts program was created to foster a sense of community and
provide those in need a chance to express themselves through music and art.
We hear from the program's founder, Marion Williams, an artist and a student
at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
John P. Blessington is the executive producer of the special, Liz Kineke is
the producer. The special is produced with the cooperation of the National
Council of Churches, The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops , The Islamic
Society of North America, and a consortium of Jewish organizations.
