Frequently Asked Questions
how much is a single presentation?
It depends how many presentations you book in a day but it can range from $300-$500.00
What is the audience limit?
If we are talking about Students, I would need some teachers or adults in the audience to handle any behavior or emergencies that come up. But I can handle a full auditorium. I have presented in Pow Wows with over 1,000 people present.
If the program can work for 6th graders, it would have to be for a larger audience.
NO problem.
How much time do you need to set up?
Depending on what I am presenting, I would need like 10 minutes to set up and 10 to break down. Unless I am using a powerpoint, I would need some help getting that on the screen.
How much time do you need to break down?
10 minutes
How much time do you need in between classes?
10 minutes
Are there days/times of the year when you're unable to present?
Yes, I am unable to present during the Holiday of Indigenous peoples day which is the 2nd Monday of the month of October. I am usually available on Tuesday mornings. I would have to be at the office in Brookline by 2:00pm. But it can be coordinated far enough in advance. And I am willing to do evenings if needed. Virtual presentations are also an option for the adults.
Are you willing to work with teachers to customize the program, i.e., concentrate the program around a specific area of the culture?
ABSOLUTELY. The classes can range in information. There will always be a short history on Taino, then it can follow up with Instruments, Foods, Dancing, Spirituality, language, archaeology and even social justice issues that are currently happening on and off the Caribbean islands. The Teacher would just have to specify what they want. These classes have been given to Adults in Education, College students, Middle and Elementary.
Depending on the learning style we could customize it.
