Swallow's Wings Puppetry will be joining us on Saturday 20th June Nature's stories Storytelling Festival
Using traditional West African stories about Anansi the Spider as a meeting place, we enchant, entertain, educate and build cross-generational dialogue. The story is told using puppets made from everyday materials along with beautiful traditional West African music.
The shows are a springboard to learn about the journey of the Anansi stories from Africa to the UK via the Caribbean. This journey follows enslaved African people to the Caribbean and then the migration of their descendants to the UK with the Windrush generation.
With thanks to Black Country Touring, The National Lottery Community Fund, Creative Black Country (Making Our Mark) for their support and for making this event possible.
