'ONE WORLD SPIRITUALS' PERFORMANCE SET AT SLU

CANTON - A performance by Miri Hunter-Haruach, called "One World 
Spirituals," will be given as part of the St. Lawrence University 
Festival of the Arts on Saturday, February 23, at 7 p.m. in the 
Gilbert Recital Hall, Griffiths Arts Center. The festival theme 
is "Remapping the Goddess: Global Visions" and the event is open 
to the public, free of charge.
	In "One World Spirituals," Hunter-Haruach sings "songs of 
the Spirit," incorporating elements of Middle Eastern, Latin, and 
American South music. Her vocals are accompanied by drum and strings.
Hunter-Haruach is a San Francisco Bay-area performance artist and 
scholar. She has taught theatre and dance throughout the Bay area 
and her one-woman show, Grandmothers of the Universe, has toured 
nationally. In addition to her performance and lecture/workshop 
schedule, Hunter-Haruach teaches women's spirituality classes at 
New College of California and the California Institute of Integral 
Studies, both in San Francisco. She is the artistic director of 
Project Sheba Dance! and executive director of Project Sheba, a 
consulting company that promotes multiculturalism and diversity 
through education, art and creative expressions of the human spirit.
	Hunter-Haruach is in production for her next recording, 
One World Spirituals; her album Harvest of the Heart was released 
in 2000.
	The St. Lawrence University Festival of the Arts is 
February 16 through March 7 and includes a variety of performances, 
exhibitions, lectures, discussions and other events, all exploring 
"the shifting representations and cultic practices of female deities 
in their own locale and in translation to other contexts."
