The African Oral Tradition is one of narration, poetry, proverbs, jokes and riddles. Story telling times are designed to be more interactive and the stories are dramatized using music, dance and movements sometimes with masks.
Literatures from the ancient Yoruba Kingdoms, the Benin Empire, the Ashante, the Hausa, the Fulani, the Shona, the Fantes, the Nok, the Ndebele, the Zulu and Igbo Ukwu cultures are presented to the children. Our sessions with children are always fun, friendly and remarkably unforgettable for the children.

Training projects in unique Afrcan art: Designs & symbols for textiles in batik or wax printing, traditional mat weaving, Adinkra & Kente weaving.
Workshops in African visual and performing arts, dances and drumming ( especially traditional talking drumming).
Participatory multi-cultural arts projects for ages 6-14 in schools and community centres.
Promoting access to such events to provide equality of opportunity, and help prevent discrimination of any kind.
Proper documentation of works of African Artists collected throughout the world.
You can book Osun Arts for special occasions such as children parties and other celebrations. You can choose from a variety of activities inlcuding smaller performances and interactive presentation (storytelling, dance and music)
Excellent non-verbal communication. Control and teaching through drumming and rhythm. The drumming, the story telling and others are extraordinary. All teachers are professional and skilful.
