We have also toured rural communities with Tsaka Nin Mu (Amongst Us), a HIV and AIDS Education / Awareness sketch which was funded by the National Project Team (NPT) on HIV/AIDS Programme Development Project of the National Action Committee on AIDS (NACA) to tour Plateau and Nasarawa states and we have also received funding from the Ford Foundation to tour schools with a sketch(es) on HIV and AIDS and Drug Abuse, this sketch was titled A Dream Deferred. We have also presented formal theatre plays like Ola Rotimi’s The Gods Are Not To Blame, Wale Ogunyemi’s Queen Amina of Zazzau, Biyi Bandele’s adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, Peter Luke’s Hadrian The Seventh and Wole Soyinka’s The Lion And The Jewel and Death And The King’s Horseman amongst others. We were involved in the cultural component of the All Africa Games – COJA-ABUJA 2003- with a presentation of Yahaya Dangana’s The Royal Chamber. With the support of the Ford Foundation and following the dearth of theatre festivals in Nigeria, we have founded and hosted the JOS FESTIVAL OF THEATRE (2004) which idea is to feature various plays with as much diversity as possible in five weekends of performances during the months of March/April. The first edition featured four plays and a dance drama including the premiere of OUR HOUSE which was part of the British Council’s Connecting Futures program. OUR HOUSE successfully toured the UK in 2005. |
