The Raccoon Story
 
Charlotte teams up with her brother, jazz violinist John Blake a jazzy, hilarious adaptation of a traditional African American southern folktale. Watch out – the trickster wins this time. You may want to discuss this with the kids. Anniko is an original adaptation of a story that celebrates the importance of the gifts we bring to the world. In The Ant and the Crumb, an ant unsuccessfully attempts to enlist the aid of friends in resolving a problem. In the end, quite by accident, he discovers that he had the ability to take care of the situation on his own. Suitable for all ages.

Pearls At The Foot of The Bed
 
Pearls…is a tribute to Charlotte’s greatest inspiration; her father, John Blake, Sr. A Praise Song is offered in the tradition of the jalolu (history tellers) of W. Africa. It is offered in celebration and honor of those who have gone before us; “to all those whose collective toil, tears, struggle, hopes, dreams and prayers beckoned us into existence…” Once In A Dream is a metaphorical story of spiritual separation, loss, reclamation and triumph. The story parallels the separation of African people from their homeland and the ongoing struggle to define themselves on their own terms. Suitable for ages 12 to adult.
