George Blake specializes in stories from his African/Caribbean heritage, and Jataka Tales (Buddhist legends) drawn from his studies and experiences as a former bhikkhu (Buddhist monk). His work also includes writing, adapting, and producing material that blends storytelling, AfroCaribbean percussion, voice, and dance to propel the message. Kalalu Folklore Theatre is his medium for these creative endeavours. George’s experience as a storyteller along with a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Edinburgh equip him to offer workshops on managing stage fright and other aspects of performance anxiety, as well as on the art of storytelling. Publications The Legend of Harriet Tubman Kaipora Cove Ego-bypass: A Buddhist Approach to Managing Stage fright Ego-bypass: A Buddhist Odyssey (A manual on meditation) George delights in presenting material from his cultural heritage that brings out the dynamics of stories and the drum to audiences in schools and to adults. Kalalu Folklore Theatre has presented at Harbourfront, Listen Up, schools, libraries, and theatre venues. |
