When our trickster Anansi is brought to life and drops into your school, be prepared for a lively story adventure like no other! Perfect to celebrate African and multi-cultural storytelling, diversity education, Black History Month and Tales from Around the World curriculum topics.
The Assembly
Step inside the story tent and meet Anansi, the legendary trickster of African and Caribbean folklore! Part human, part spider, and always full of mischief, Anansi swings his silky webs across the world to outwit snakes, leopards, hornets, and even magical spirits, all in pursuit of an old wooden box that holds a powerful secret!
This interactive performance brings ancient storytelling to life with rhythm, song, dance, and plenty of pupil participation. Children are invited to help Anansi on his adventures, act out characters, and share what they’ve learned about friendship, trickery, and wisdom along the way. More than just a tale, Come An’ See Anansi celebrates the rich traditions of African and Caribbean cultures, explores the origins of stories themselves, and connects pupils with history through creativity, imagination, and fun.
This is a whole school theatre and storytelling based performance that caters to KS1 & KS2 pupils. Each performance is 1 hour in length and can accommodate up to 4 classes in each session.
