Artist: Antonio Rocha

Storyteller and author Antonio Rocha performs tales from around the world, taking us to Africa, Asia and Latin America with tales of adventure, wit, respect and wisdom. Using verbal narrative and mime, Antonio captures the imagination of the audience as he creates vivid characters on life-changing journeys. This culturally diverse program addresses issues of communication, self esteem and respect. Through the observation of the stories presented students will analyze ways in which people of different backgrounds share common bonds and relate to one another. Antonio Rocha has performed at the Kennedy Center, The Smithsonian, The National Storytelling Festival and many other venues in Europe, Africa and the Americas.

"This assembly was by far the best!  The kids starting dancing in thier seats.  They absolutely loved it, as did the teachers." - Diane Hake, Hosack Elementary School PTA representative
