COBA presents its African History Student Matinee program SANKOFA from February 8th to 10th as part of Harbourfront Centre's School Visits programme.
Sankofa 2011: Danse Belé is a theatrical representation
of the history of Caribbean Indigenous Folk dances from Trinidad and
Tobago. Danse Belé weaves dance, spoken word, music, drumming, chants
and period costumes to transport the students through the life and times
of plantation slaves.
As part of the program, students will have the
opportunity to get a more in-depth explanation of the historical content
of the work Danse Belé in an intimate group setting; explore chants
through call and response, and learn movement from chosen repertoire of
Danse Belé. Students will also participate in a Visual Arts workshop
with Harbourfront Centre's School Visits educators to complement the
performance.
