Carnival is the Art Form for Everyone

Carnival is a combined art form which means it includes prop, puppet and costume making, dance and movement and music and music production. It is an international art form and yet there will be a local one on your doorstep. Its as old as human history and yet constantly reimagining and renewing itself. Its both the art of the people and a gateway to excellence in each art form. Step through the gateway and find where you belong. At every level there is a place for everyone

Carnival all over the world have a great tradition of live music: Think Caribbean and  Pan, Soca and Calypso; Brazil and Samba, Maracatu, Axe; America and New Orleans Mardi Grass jazz and blues, the list goes on and on and on……
