Baba Jamal Koram is a veteran in presenting school programs and residencies in a variety of settings.  He has persevered in bringing quality storytelling performances to public and private schools, under-served and ethnically diverse schools and youth facilities who REQUIRE strong and dignified personalities and who can present in caring and joyful ways.  Baba Jamal does that.  He also provides thought provoking presentations for teacher in-service workshops and institutes.

 

Performances

Performances center around the concept of African Stories in the Americas™ that can take on the      history, stories,  folklore,  personalities and spoken word styles   that are a part of African/American culture.  

Baba Jamal's stories range from Aesop' s fables to Shaka the Zulu King. He may throw the Eagle and the Chickens in the mix or his rendition of Sundiata the Lion King of Mali.  Baba Jamal's  trend setting storytelling style has become a standard in many performance circles.  From opening to closing, there is focus, exuberance and interaction.  He also creates programs for special audiences or venues or occasions.  Additionally, from time to time he collaborates with other artists for special cultural arts presentations.

Workshops and Residencies

 

Workshops and residency programs provide choices for creative language exploration, cultural appreciation, and an opportunity to learn the storytelling arts from a dedicated storytelling professional.  Using the African Universal Operational System (Reese, 1960), Baba Jamal can develop learning environments to cover a wide variety of topics across age groups, academic levels,  and race factors.

 

Coaching, Classes, and  Lectures, and Mentoring

These services have a common denominator - - CLARITY. Before there is any telling there must be clarity.   Clarity of thought, of intent, of purpose, of values and with a focused methodology.  Baba Jamal Koram can assist and teach to any level for the purposes of becoming better artists.
