abstract = "This chapter reflects on a project undertaken with students preparing a production for 4-7 year olds, entitled Beautiful Creatures: Safari to Africa. Methodologically, I consider this production through the lens of art from/in Africa as a way of thinking about performance and associated issues of representation and identity. I focus on what I would call the {\textquoteleft}lure{\textquoteright} of authenticity, and the related issue of {\textquoteleft}tradition{\textquoteright}.",
