The Importance of Cultural Diversity Programs in Communities

Concerts

Our folk music presentations comprise a narration and slight introduction of the Maasai of Kenya. An entire concert presentation may last between 30 to 45 minutes. Each presentation is tailored to different age groups. The presentations are followed immediately by a 15 minute “Question and answer” session for audience.

Workshops

Our Dance Troupe members are skilled in bead-making, hair-braiding, storytelling and in teaching song and dance.  Batik Art is also taught after the presentation and this is done by group leader Nicholas Sironka. Students rotate between the different workshops within a typical school day.

Workshop requirements
All our workshops may usually be held in the school art room, library, or gymnasium.

Bead making

School will usually provide glass beads, paper plates, and other small items such as wire and string, which will be used to teach Maasai bead-making skills.

We always call to confirm quantity needed in relation to number of children expected to participate, prior to our visit.  Different size beads are recommended to different age-groups.

Song and Dance

Held in the school gymnasium.

Storytelling

This has especially been a very welcome portion of our visits, to schools, especially by the very young!

Batik Art

Children are introduced to an art form that helps them learn how wax and fabric dyes can be used to create beautiful art works.

Churches

We perform at Churches on a Bible based program of songs and dance. We do not ask for payment but are happy to be Blessed with a goodwill offering, and permission to sell our bead ornaments after the Church services.
To book a workshop in the East Bay CA this February contact Cheza Nami.
