“Journey through the Secret Life of Plants”

Spirited Dance and Drama

A multi-school company of spirited dancers from local school academies will captivate your students through their rigorous and expressive dance, enhanced by a majestic music score gifted by Stevie Wonder.

Masterful Storytelling

The duty of the storyteller is to make plain the tale, to show us things we have not seen before and to invite us to remember lessons and ideas that we feel we have always known. The happy duty of the listener is much simpler, for all we need do with QUEENS of the Nile, NOW is enjoy!

African History Alive!

It is as if a mask ceremony has begun, and you are to play spectator to the way outer trappings (informed by history and motivated by stories alive with purpose and daring) can be made to transform the mere flesh that carries the garments. It is captivating, vibrant and immediate.

“Queens not only taught students the diverse countries, cultures, positive rituals of Africa, but also the importance of appreciating differences.”

— Heather Banks, Teacher - Long Beach USD

“It all really made me feel like I was in Africa. While I was watching the queens, in the background I saw a desert full of people staring at the gorgeous queens.”

— 4th Grade Student

“It is one thing to read about the greatness from which we came, it is another thing to witness it reenacted right before our eyes.”

— Toni Jackson, 6th Grade Teacher, LAUSD

“There is no better lesson for me than to witness firsthand the pageants of African immigrants and African Americans.”

— Teri Lu, PhD., Ethnomusicologist, NEA
