Past
experience: I have presented and planned numerous events in
the Ann Arbor area, many of which I also performed in. The events
mainly have focussed on African drumming and dancing, folklore and
history. I am constantly writing proposals for independent grant
sources, public and private schools and universities offering my
and my performance ensemble's skills for education. Every thing
from large scale performance events to multiple-week residency programs. |
| |
| Suggestions
for public humanities projects: I am very interested in starting
Hand drumming (African) ensembles in Michigan and regional schools.
Offering drum making programs, instructional courses, as well as teacher
training sessions and classes. Audiences are mostly high school aged
students, middle school as well, with great success in the "alternative"
school realm. |
