Storytelling Workshops

We were joined by three storytellers who delivered an exciting and hands on workshop to each class. We had a fantastic time learning the African Art of Storytelling thanks to IROKO Theatre Company. We learned about why story telling was important in African cultures and many cultures across the world. Storytelling was how morals and history were passed through generations (preserving culture). We learnt some of the key elements needed to be a great storyteller such as voice projection, props, repetition, enthusiasm, choral speaking and expression.
