Bio
Ina Buckner-Barnette is The Sunshine Storyteller. Ina's upbeat, multicultural story concerts use songs, movement games and humor to get everyone involved. She can tailor her story concerts and story-making workshops to any age group. Her interactive, international stories take you on a magical ride using humor to inspire and entertain family audiences. Her Sunshine Drum Circle Show with Master percussionist Chazz Ross takes audience participation to a new height. This show combines two traditional art forms as audience members help tell the stories through movement, call and response and songs, as well as, live drumming. Ina's family literacy/reading aloud workshop empowers parents to be effective and fun reading coaches at home.
