Here is some of our work:

We dramatised one of the poems we study in ‘Literature in English’.  Watch the video.

Here are the words to the poem:

The Agbor Dancer  by J.P.Clark

See her caught in the throb of a drum

Tippling from hide-brimmed stem

Down lineal veins to ancestral core

Opening out in her supple tan

Limbs like fresh foliage in the sun

See how entangled in the magic

Maze of music

In trance she treads the intricate

Pattern rippling crest after crest

To meet the green clouds of the forest

Tremulous beats wale trenchant

In her heart a descant

Tingling quick to her finger tips

And toes virginal habits long

Too atrophied for pen or tongue

Could I, early sequestered from my tribe,

Free a lead-tether’d scribe

I should answer her communal call

Lose myself in her warm caress

Intervolving earth, sky and flesh.
