In the last few month's we've been talking about our new Public Sector Services and how they can help community-based non-profit groups move forward, especially during these trying economic times. Now here's a concrete example: The "Back to Its Roots" DVD.

It a special promotional DVD that we produced of Seattle's Langston Hughes Performing Art's Center's recent and highly successful three-day "Back to Its Roots" spoken word and hip-hop dance weekend of April 26-27, 2003, and it features some of the finest young spoken word and hip hop talent in the region via documentation of the whole performance with interactive menu access to each performance.

Playable on a laptop computer, desktop computer, or home DVD player, this DVD is now a powerful community resource development tool for the both Center and participating performing artists to promote themselves and gain additional support. Don't be surprised if you see some of these featured artists making it big time. Once you view this DVD and sample their talent, you'll understand what we mean.



Talented young spoken word and hip-hop artists who recently performed at City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center are featured on "Back to Its Roots" The DVD.

Performing arts programming at the Center is supported by citizens who will use the DVD to communicate with existing and prospective funders, promote participating artists, and garner additional support for future community-based arts programming.

Actually production of the DVD and the use of new low-cost digital television to develop public sector resources is only one of several "tried and true" market-tested resource development strategies we can work with to help govermental and community-based organizations move forward in our now 21st century world.
