#15. CROP OVER READ IN!

Against the backdrop of rich Barbadian
culture and history at the Barbados
Museum, we’ll be experiencing
the Caribbean through the eyes of
storytellers, spoken word artists,
musicians, and dancers. Let’s not miss
the Stage 2016 Play Writing Incubator
workshop. One of us may be a budding
Shakespeare….

#14. VISIT A CALYPSO TENT No,

we’re not going camping! These shows
are where we learn about the issues of
interest and seriousness to Barbadians
through live musical performances by
local artists, budding and mature. Think
of this as the “conscious” side of Crop
Over.
