Storytelling

​We had a fantastic time learning the African Art of Storytelling thanks to IROKO Theater Company. Alex, who was our instructor for the day, taught us about why story telling was important in African cultures and many cultures across the world. Storytelling was how morals and history was 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.
