De CORE London

De CORE is an award winning team of qualified artisans committed to the advancement of Carnival Arts globally.
We are former carnival costume producers at Yaa Asantewaa Arts Centre, where we have done carnival productions for Nottinghill plus other towns and cities in the UKl, Aalborg in Denmark, Bielfield in Germany, Nigeria and Trinidad.
As a team we now have come together for ourselves to use our skills and expertise to assist other organizations in their own creative productions.
