REFLECTING ON OUR VISIT TO MANITOBA
Manitoba Art Network hosted performances by the African Stages as part of the National Cultural Days Celebration in Manitoba. First stop was the The Flin Flon Arts Council, a vibrant cultural group whose Director Crystal Kolt recently received an order of Manitoba award for her excellence in Cultural programming in the North. We were hosted by a very large audience making the whole performance a very enjoyable one.
The next stop was the Pas Arts Council a two hour drive from Flin Flon. They hosted African Stages on September 29th. An awesome close knit community with a very friendly atmosphere.
Last stop was the West End community Centre. There is a high immigrant and refugee population in the immediate community and a great need and value placed on presenting cultural programming for young audiences.
African Stages’ wonderful professional troupe and audience was inspired, educated and entertained again and again by the interactive and animated stories.
