Sankofa Community Carnival - Costume-making and Carnival Dance Workshops

Mahogany Carnival Design invites you to unleash your creativity through hands-on Carnival Mas costume workshops. Explore colour, texture and storytelling as you create Carnival Mas Costumes inspired by rich Carnival traditions.

IRIE! Dance Theatre invite you to experience Carnival Mas dance workshops, where you will get to learn a range of African Caribbean dance movements and folklore styles rooted in the African Diaspora. Learn from expert practitioners and connect through rhythm, culture and community.

Part of Project a Black Planet: A Season, these participatory arts programmes will culminate in a  Carnival-inspired performance at the Barbican  featuring the workshop participants alongside Mahogany Carnival Design, IRIE! Dance Theatre and Endurance Steel Orchestra. This is your chance to come create, dance and celebrate with us.
