In this popular Stories from Africa Workshop, our experienced storyteller will help you bring celebrated African stories to life!
Play tricks like Anansi The Trickster. Then buzz-buzz-buzz like the King of the hornets. Before meeting Nyame, God of the Sky.
Using drama activities, including role-play and tableaux, you will see the tales of How Anansi Became King of All Stories and How the Zebra Got His Stripes dramatically unfold, and create vibrant animated scenes inspired by African storytelling.
And finally attend an animal party in our Stories from Africa Workshop!
