  Central Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:Join the Arts Council for the Independent Film: Lift!\nFrida
 y\, March 21 at 7PM at the Kress Theatre in Downtown Alexandria. Tickets
 : $10\, free for students. Tickets at the door.\nFilmed over ten years\,
  LIFT shines a spotlight on the invisible story of homelessness in Ameri
 ca through the eyes of a group of young homeless and home-insecure balle
 t dancers in New York City. After performing all over the world\, ballet
  dancer Steven Melendez returns to the Bronx shelter where he grew up to
  give back to his community\, offering a New York Theatre Ballet worksho
 p to children. His traumatic reaction to the shelter from his childhood 
 sends him on an unexpected journey with three kids to reckon with a past
  he had escaped from through ballet. As young dance students\, Victor\, 
 Yolanssie and Sharia face the same chasm of home insecurity that long se
 parated Steven from his audience and makes the arts inaccessible to so m
 any kids who share his background. The children he mentors offer him ins
 ight into turning a hidden trauma into dance\, and together they make an
  aristocratic art form into an expression all their own.\n\nMeet the fil
 mmaker for a Q&amp\;A after the screening. View Trailer!\n\nSouthern Cir
 cuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts\, a region
 al arts organization\, in partnership with the National Endowment for th
 e Arts. For more information about Southern Circuit please visit www.sou
