The Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation has announced its annual Children's Summer Arts Camp, running from July 1 to August 8, for youth aged 4 to 13 at its new Bedford-Stuyvesant facility. This six-week program offers children a hands-on introduction to theater arts, helping them explore dance, music, storytelling, and performance in a nurturing environment. Campers will also collaboratively create a theatrical production, with this year's featured show being 'Ananse the Medicine Man,' inspired by Ghanaian folktales. Additionally, the camp introduces 'Legends of Ashanti,' an immersive storytelling experience focusing on African folklore.
This summer marks a beautiful new beginning and we're thrilled to welcome campers to our spacious new home in the heart of Bed-Stuy!
Under the guidance of professional teaching artists and guest mentors, campers help write the script, choreograph dances, compose music, and design costumes and sets.
This year's show, Ananse the Medicine Man, delves into themes of truth, deception, and the consequences of misusing power.
Founded over 20 years ago, the Brooklyn-based nonprofit has remained dedicated to educating, enriching, and entertaining through the cultural arts of the African Diaspora.
