PVPA is a regional public charter school serving 400 students grades 7-12, from over 60 towns throughout Western Massachusetts. We seek to connect the creative process with critical thinking to inspire a love of learning. As a charter school, the work we do informs educational policy at local, state and national levels.
The Wofa African Drum and Dance Company has performed traditional and contemporary African dances from several countries in Western Africa. Wofa has shared its infectious and vital energy by performing in many venues in the Pioneer Valley, as well as the National and Regional High School Dance Festivals annually.
Taught and directed by the spirited Alpha "Kabisko" Kaba from Guinea, this company learns the dances, rhythms and culture of West Africa. Their shows often use authentic masks, sets, and instruments to both keep tradition and also use the tradition as a starting off point for contemporary work that amazes and excites. Come and see them!
