About Sankofa Storytelling Arts

San'ko fa' - a phrase from the Akan lexicon, a society from West Africa who arguably viewed time as an experiential, learning tool. Our interpretation of Sankofa is loosely based on the concept of embracing the wisdom from all experiences and lessons from the past, in order to responsibly enhance and inform our future; individually, societally and environmentally. Or in other words, to offer alternative solutions to perceived obstacles. Distilling applied theatre to foster and support critical and courageous thinking during a child’s educational journey is distinctive in that at the heart of our applications are the routes to wellness and mindfulness as an innate and constantly developing feature. Applied theatre is an exciting format – sometimes interchangeable with applied drama or social drama – and is primarily a transformative and transparent process whereby the issues that are raised are teased and explored by and for participants.
