Performances

“I am known as a very quiet person when I’m in front of strangers, but after your performance, I feel that there has been a great increase in my confidence”

We use drama, music, dance, songs, chants and other expressive means to bring to life various African myths, legends and fables.  The fun nature of our storytelling means that we are able to use the art form and the exploits of different African tricksters, to explore complex social and cultural issues.  The art form is also used to inspire, motivate and stimulate participants’ imagination and curiosity, especially in a number of subject areas such as STEM subjects.
