Overview
Eritrean Community Center of Santa Clara County is serving as fiscal sponsor for Oriki Theater. From outreach programs in local schools to season productions, Oriki Theater seeks to provide ways for participants to experience Africa, its people, and their cultures through a unique combination of dance, drama, music, poetry, chants, folk stories, and the drum. Oriki reaches more than 100,000 people per year throughout Silicon Valley. A company of professional artists perform for pre-K through 12 students in 43 Santa Clara County schools, in both assemblies and longer-term residencies, as well as for the public in diverse community venues. Renewed funding through the Eritrean Community Center will allow Oriki to implement its 2015 strategic plan by strengthening its volunteer leadership structure and programs.
