- Andean Storytelling with Julia Garcia (Quechua)
- Description
- Watch the story of Quwiwan Atujwan, The Andean Fox and the Guinea Pig, unfold in this bilingual family-friendly program. Hear the Quechua language, interact with the characters in the story, and learn a traditional Andean dance! Julia Garcia was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where Quechua was her first language. She grew up in a culture where the education of a child is the responsibility of everyone and the transmission of values, customs, rights, and rituals was the work of the entire community. She has devoted herself to teaching the richness of the Quechua language through radio programs, dance, song, and theatre. Ms. Garcia is the director of the Arlington-based Sociedad Cultural Tradiciones Bolivianas, an organization dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the folkloric dances of Bolivia. She is also a certified Spanish teacher at Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Arlington.
