PERFORMANCES/PRODUCTIONS

1.      AWARI- (the fruitful search) Almost an experimental dramatic-monologue. The  piece was specially made for 'NORDICA' a IVF clinic in Lagos, through the story they try to create awareness of IVF and urge people who have had their success story through IVF to speak up and tell others who are presently going through the pain of infertility and also to stop the stigmatization. This piece uses a technique which I will best describe as the narrative technique/realism to convey the message of this piece to the audience. The cast are not left out in this; they individually played a great role by entering into the character to convey deep emotions and actions to the audience.  The piece had a subtle tone of mood and emotion the director achieved this mood by employing sweet , subtle music using a guitarist and a violinist to help build the mood of the piece. 

2.      FOIA- a drama which sensitizes the Nigerian masses on the FREEDOM OF INFORMATIONS ACT (right to know) AND THE DICTATORSHIP OF MEDIOCRITY AND CORRUPTION at the WOLE SOYINKA CENTRE FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM ANNUAL LECTURE. 2013

3.      ADULAWO- (the black race) is a dance-theatre piece which creatively and artistically discusses and portrays the challenges; problems, day to day activities, occupation, culture/tradition, and general way of life of the black people using Nigeria as it focus point. It’s a total theatre piece with an infusion of poetry, dance, drama, drums, chants and songs to create an excitingly new but contemporary performance art which would be acceptable by global audience of different age groups. Here, we portray hope for Africa but in other not to shatter it the youths should find a way to empower themselves materially, physically and intellectually. It symbolically and creatively projects African culture. For this reason we laid more emphasis on the use of physical theatre, that is, the use of body language, dance, expressions, songs and chants(from different tribes in Nigeria/Ghana/south Africa and sierra Leone) and a little of poetry in its explication which was composed by the company.

4.      MAMA NA GOLD- a dance-theatre performance which points out causes, problems, effects and solution of maternal deaths. Packages and performed at The Lagos State LGA ‘MATERNAL MORTALITY REDUCTION ADVOCACY PROGRAMME’ at different performance spaces, 2013

8.      CAREERISM- packaged and performed at the Lagos int’l career fair 2012, this reveals the challenges which young people face in choosing  a career and how the society has affected decision making in the lives of youths thereby not having round pegs in round holes. This causes young people not practising the career they want but what their parents forced on them. Also, we proffered solutions.

9.      SAVE THE GIRL CHILD- performed at the unilag radio ‘girls show’.. about the abuse of the female sex and how they have been reduced in the society.2011/2012

10.  TALKING DRUM-(a metamorphosis)………The romance of poetry and music.  Rhythmically conveys a break in the human nature which makes all men different. From the blacks, whites, coloured and people of different races. The performance employs the use of total African music to justify dualities, individualities and the philosophy that every race stands for. To us, music today is a universal language and we believe our message to the blind, deaf, or cripple would leave a lasting tune in their minds just as it does to us all when we watch Indian movies, enjoying it without hearing a bit of their language. The talking drum pictures the ‘DRUM’ as ‘LIFE’ itself which all men must pass through and its ‘SOUND’ or ‘RHYTHM’ that must be danced to in the market called Life.  And ‘TALKING’ here, means the sad, bitter and sweet story of ‘LIFE’ which must be told…the performance has been cooked with ingredients like poetry, dance and creative instrumentation. 2013
