Storytellers
Audience Age
5-12
Sharon collected stories in Ghana and Burkina Faso in 2013 and she shows the children how the stories are traditionally started, teaching them words from the Ewe tribe. Then she tells "The Tortoise" and "the Hunter and The Beautiful Woman With 500 Marriage Proposals." Children join in with singing and also with guessing what will happen next. One child takes on the role of Tortoise. At the end everyone dances to West African drum music.
