Description

Ballet Brika presents traditional folk tales from the African kingdom of Lesotho. Storytelling, live percussion, dance, song, authentic African stage props and colorful costuming are used to educate the audience about how traditions are handed down. Questions are answered, history is conveyed, and lifelong lessons are taught as a way to help audiences learn more about African cultures and lifestyles.

Residency activities include the subject areas of dance, interdisciplinary, music, language arts, social studies, theater, and world cultures.
