"Known for artistic excellence and cultural integrity, Oriki is a nonprofit performing arts company that provides opportunities for our communities to have a shared experience of the real Africa through a unique combination of dance, drama, music, poetry, chants, folk stories and the drum. From outreach programs in local schools to season productions, community workshops and performances, Oriki seeks to provide various ways for participants to experience Africa and the African way of life."

"Sharing Africa is a fun, colorful, high energy and interactive presentation of Africa through dance, songs, chants and drumming. Targeted at K – 12th grade students and teachers, the program features Oriki’s ensemble cast of highly skilled and talented dancers, drummers, storytellers and singers. Through Sharing Africa, we expose students to world cultures different from their own in a fun and interactive way, therefore, sowing the seeds for a future generation of citizens that can appreciate and celebrate the richness of our diversity. Another strength of our Sharing Africa program is our ability to adapt it to meet the needs of children in the zero to five age group and to non-traditional school settings, like youth centers, group homes, juvenile halls, community agencies, churches, etc."

"Each year, Oriki presents a full theatrical stage production that provides opportunities for our communities to have a shared experience of the real Africa, its people and their way of life through a unique combination of dance, drama, music, poetry, chants, folk stories and the drum."

"Our 2024/25 season production is SANKOFA – a multi-disciplinary presentation of the African story and the dispersal of its children from the continent to the diaspora. Sankofa is a high energy, colorful and interactive celebration of the common journey of Africa’s children in drums, dance and music. This presentation will feature balafon music, djembe percussion, songs and dances from the ancient Mali Empire interwoven with Pan Steel drums of the Caribbean, the North American saxophone and chilling renditions of Negro Spirituals. The audience will be invited to participate in a finale that celebrates Africa’s rich and proud heritage."
