Schools and Adult Education Projects
Multidisciplinary arts approaches to learning about ancient history mythology and multiculturalism.
Workshops in arts , drumming, and dance culminates in a show that demonstrates the work, that has an overarching theme.
Children/ adults are taught various moves and then a dance/theatre /art piece is constructed around ancient mythologies/stories. We will help children to produce sculptures and 'artefacts' if requested.
Artists, drummers and dance teachers collaborate on projects with children. Dance, drumming techniques and artwork of the particular civilizations can be taught.
Artists, drummers and cultural/archaeological experts can be included in a package, to suit the needs/curriculum/budget of each group.
