School Programs

Baba the StorytellerAnnually, Baba tours schools performing Assemblies, serving in Residencies and giving both student and teacher Workshops. Baba’s presentations are age appropriate (yes even for teachers) and combine the artistic disciplines of music and storytelling.

Baba the Storyteller has performed at my school each Sept. since 1999. He is an anticipated visitor each year. He brings fresh entertainment and education and the students get a chance to interact with him in a way that is thoroughly rewarding. I engage him each year to begin my curricular studies. He checks in with me to make sure he is on topic and to see if I have new requests of him.

Baba’s assemblies challenge student’s imaginations while imparting valuable cultural and historical lessons. Assemblies are interactive, using a combination music, games, chants, singing, and language to draw “everyone” into the performances.

Baba host two types of residencies: A Mini-Residency (up to 4 sessions per class) and a Full-Residency (usually 12 sessions per class). Baba’s residency is titled “TOOT” (Telling Our Own Tales) and takes students on a journey to enhance their public speaking abilities.
