Dialectics ’06: Back Back – Miss Lou Birthday Read-A-Thon

Whatever you call it Creole, Dialect, Island Talk, Native Language; Patois… this annual affirmation of the Caribbean’s linguistic heritage has been a hit from its inception. Dialectics has evolved into a virtual language festival on stage that gives Caribbean and non-Caribbean families alike, an opportunity to explore the intricacies of ‘Caribbean English’ and related dialects. In song, poetry, story and sketch comedy, the presentation harkens back to regional folk performance gatherings of Tea Meetings, Best Village Shows, Penny Concerts and Nine Night, traditions that have nurtured Caribbean families for generations. And everybody gets involved!!!
