AFRICAN STAGES VISITS MANITOBA

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.

Comfort at Surrey Art Gallery

We are always excited to perform in Surrey as that is where Comfort lives. She has celebrated a number of successes, working with schools and organizations, at festivals and gatherings, inside and outside.

Recently, Comfort was featured in Beacon News for her upcoming performance at Surrey Art Gallery. On December 6, 2012 at 7:30pm she will be telling us all about her journey from Nigeria to Canada. You won’t want to miss it.
