Artistic Approach

My artform is Storytelling.
I practice using a variety of techniques and expressions to perform.
The process of my storytelling artform is using poetry, songs, African instruments, stage performance, reading, writing, listening to meet the needs of the audience.

Teaching Artist Approach

My teaching philosophy is that all children can be active and involved on every level by using all of their senses to gain the knoweldge and understanding through the are of storytelling.

Program Management Strategies

When coming into a pre-established setting the prochedures consist of enforcing rules with the help of staff in charge, monitor activies, making sure all materials are in place, all children are seated and ready to experience their greatness. Pre and Post evaluations are given and a six week follow-up.
