This was
a very exciting venture, with 55 younger performers aged nine
to thirteen. 'Moremi - The Goddess' is based on a Nigerian folk
story, written and directed by a Nigerian, Bisi Adigun. It
was a fantastic opportunity for the young people to explore African
culture and traditions. The show included African songs, drumming,
costumes and dance. It was very spectacular and great fun.
We gave this
show full production values, with set designers, costume designers,
lighting people, full programme and poster. In recent years we'd
tended to emphasise the older age group, but we're now trying
to redress this imbalance.
