Event Description

You're invited to a magical evening of myth.

Join master storyteller Jan Blake for the Re-Rooting Tour: an exploration of African folktales in the diaspora through storytelling, music, rhythm, and song.

Jan Blake shares myths and tales that reconnect her with her African heritage and Jamaican roots, transforming ancestral bone-memory into a source of healing and joyful self‑expression.

Percussion and soundscape by Reg Wilford.

ABOUT THE STORY:

The Girl in The Dog: A forbidden chamber is filled with hair, a girl seeks refuge in the skin of a dog… Superlative storyteller, Jan Blake, draws us into the hot, enchanted realm of Caribbean and African fairytale – where rules get bent, taboos are broken, people go astray, and family bonds are tightly tied. Expect dark encounters and surreal enchantments, as magic is done and undone to restore balance in a dynamic world of wonder.

For those who can't attend, we'll also be livestreaming!

This evening is for ages 12+.
