Over the course of two weeks, 37 children have benefited from the Sumania Children’s Workshop at the Theatre Guild. This is the second year that the Laramade Musical Theatre has provided this programme which focuses on music and theatre.
Sumania has seen children engaged in drama, dance, mask making and costume designing. Members of Laramade, dancer and model Launce Northe and choreographer Oral Welshman managed the programme.
“We are enjoying it. The children are having fun and we hope to be doing this in subsequent years. Most of the children who attended are pupils of Winfer Gardens Primary as Oral had started working with the pupils two years ago at dance classes. As a matter of fact, for the Winfer Gardens recent graduation… dancers and a choir he worked with… performed at the Cultural Centre… Last year we did workshops in both Georgetown and New Amsterdam and we will be going back to Berbice this year. It will be sometime in August; we do not have a date as yet. This group is also expected to be bigger than last year,” Launce said.
