Sheba Soul Ensemble came into being in 2015. Our initial impetus was to tune into stories of incredible Afrikan greatness and devise theatre performances which honour the achievements of Afrikan people. So we put a call out… and eight people heard  it… then we started rehearsing, decided on a piece which would tell the story of Makeda, Queen of Sheba. A piece that would honour Afrikan theatre, combining strong roles for the narrator, fusing music, dance, song,  poetry and interweaving shreds of  improvisaton.   So it made perfect sense ...  to name ourselves after Makeda  - a woman who achieved incredible things.

​

Sheba Soul Ensemble was born.

​

Over the past ten years, things have changed. In 2021, we relocated to Pembrokeshire, working principally across Wales and South West England .

Film, theatre, music, dance, storytelling, spoken word, arts and crafts – we express ourselves and support the self-expression of others in all of these disciplines. What propels us forward is our commitment to equality and societal transformation through the arts.
