Sundiata, The Lion King

Appearances can be deceiving can’t they? We do not always make the right decisions based on what we see. And in life it is not what we are called, but what we answer to. Our story today is shared by hundreds and passed on through generations. This is our journey with Sundiata, the Lion King of Mali.

We travel back a long, long time ago to a village, in a place called Mali to explore West African storytelling, drumming and dance.

  • Discover rhythm playing traditional instruments and African drums
  • Learn the Celebration African Dance
  • Use music, movement and vocal expression to tell the story
  • Mask work

This links perfectly with Geography and Music.
