Debora Alleyne-De Gazon: Summary London - Croydon London Available to work throughout the UK Summary I am an experienced Arts Educator. I have worked with various age groups and abilities. I teach African-Caribbean dances accompanied by recorded music such as drums or soca rhythms and live African drums. These dances are traditional forms which have some European influence and a strong African influence.An example of such dances are the calypso,Bele,Bongo,pique,Jahroo etc. I also teach creative African- Caribbean Dances which tell stories of Caribbean culture or can be fused with stories from other cultures or integrated with a curriculum context to reinforce or introduce concepts or issues. I perform,interactive African-Caribbean storytelling with songs and movement accompanied by live African drumming. My storytelling/ drama workshops consist of adaptations of stories, African- Caribbean Dance movements,songs and rhythms. They are fused to bring texts, issues or concepts alive in an educational atmosphere.

It accomodates participants diverse learning styles thus creating a creative and fun atmosphere for learning. ... |
