Dylan Pritchett
The Storyteller
The Storyteller is a forty-five minute assembly program of pure "edu-tainment"! African and African-American stories, riddles, games, music, and constant audience participation are packed into the performance. As the program unfolds, the students are taught universal morals, values, as well as enhancing their listening and analytical skills.

The repertoire of stories are age appropriate with five major themes in mind. They are:
Moral teachings
Build self-esteem
Teach respect toward family, friends, and authority
Give a taste of African culture

Since 1990 Dylan has averaged over 200 performances annually in schools, libraries, and museums. Dylan is one of ten artists selected, for the fourth year, to participate in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Partners in Education touring program. This program provides quality school aged programming coupled with teacher workshops to nation-wide audiences. So, Dylan is not only committed to the art of "Storytelling" but teaching his techniques as well.
