Enjoy an entertaining interactive Haitian storytelling with Lucrece Louisdhon-Louinis.

Haitian storytelling, like dance, has roots in African traditions--the original interactive art! The storyteller invites the audience to join in using hand clapping, drumming and dance. Stories, songs and games engage participants of all ages in a literacy journey using language, rhythms and body movements. Each presentation is crafted to offer as many sensory experiences as possible.
