OMOLARA

The aim of the company is to empower children and young people through a range of creative media, encouraging self expression, global awareness and individual responsibility. Says Molara... "with younger children we aim to get them singing, dancing, creating and using their imaginations - whilst at the same time giving them a sense of geographical and historical awareness, and taking them back to roots instruments such as the African drum and balafon... With older children we aim to inspire them with performance, encourage them to express themselves through the medium of music and drama with the aim of building their self confidence and self awareness"... We have worked extensively with pupils and teachers in mainstream primary and secondary schools, as well as specialising in work in "pupil referral units" and schools for young people with "special educational needs".
