The National Troupe of Nigeria is set to kick off the 6th edition of its annual Creative Station Workshop for Children and Teens. The workshop was introduced in 2009 as a way of developing the imaginative skills of children and it has been held successfully since then.
In a statement to announce the commencement of preparation for this year’s edition, the Artistic Director and Chief Executive officer of the National Troupe, Akin Adejuwon disclosed that this year’s edition will hold between July 27 and August 30, 2015 at the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos.
‘Like the other editions, this edition is planned to hold during the long vacation/summer break and we consider this one of our flagship programmes because it is in line with the Troupe’s objective of encouraging the development of Children Theatre and primarily, as a way of engaging the children creatively during their long holiday,’ he said.
Coordinated by the Director in charge of Drama at the National Troupe, Josephine Igberaese, the Creative Station workshop, which will close with a command performance on August 30, 2015 is also designed to prepare the children for a future career in theatre by exposing them to storytelling, creative writing, singing, dancing, acting, voice training, puppetry, creative writing, pantomime and improvisational skills.
Igberaese explained that the fee-paying workshop is for children between the ages of 6 and 18. Check out photos from previous editions…
