THE DIRECTOR'S ROUND TABLE
The Director's Round Table
The director's round table is a kininsoKoncepts initiative that seeks to train fifteen young female directors for theatre. This initiative was deemed necessary due to the zero existence of young female directors in Nigeria especially as it concerns theatre. The workshop will train and mentor fifteen young ladies between the ages of 20 to 35 for two weeks in the art of directing for theatre. These aspiring directors will be carefully selected after due screening of their applications, vision and committment statements.
MOREMI THE MUSICAL RELOADED
MOREMI THE MUSICAL RELODED is a musical stage play that lauds a Yoruba Land Heroine “Moremi Ajasoro” who made a priceless sacrifice for the Ancestral home of the Yoruba land; Ile-Ife. Moremi Ajasoro, born to a powerful hunter in Lukugba Ile-Ife was a queen who offered herself to be captured by the Ugbo tribe who were always raiding Ile-Ife. Confident of her wit and beauty, she made a supreme sacrifice of offering herself to be captured by the raiders, after which their King married her, paving way for her to secure intelligence related to the enemies’ battle strategy which was eventually used by the people of Ile-Ife to liberate themselves from the raiders. Hence, ‘Moremi the Music: Reloaded’ is a theatrical visualization and musical orchestration delivered on stage celebrating the legacy of the Yoruba Land heroine. The reloaded edition displays the richness of culture and excellent musical orchestration complemented with acting in a more soothing and sophisticated way.

JOIN BODI
JOIN BODI
JOIN-BODI is a piece about reuniting Nigerian communities and reigniting solidarity after the 2019 elections, shunning discord,curbing hatred, and hate speeches birthed through the influence of politicians and parties.The piece hopes to resolve issues of relationship and living together as one even after the elections and not allowing politics and thuggery destroy our communal life as a people reminding all that "Politicians still wine and dine behind closed doors." One the other hand, we strongly address the issue of accountability of office holders, citizen demanding accountability and monitoring the progress of their representatives, digging deep to know if their voices and concerns are made priority. Through research,imaginative thinking, interviews, these performance stories we believe would be change oriented, further help to develop our local communities and arouse the people into action. As a theatre for awareness/sensitization piece, its unique hotspot is to help breakdown our challenges as a people, find means to solve them creatively, putting it in the faces and ears of our grassroots audience. Please join us as we journey through this research and support us in anyway. Our wish is to perform this piece in every part of Nigeria even the smallest community within. Support us in ANYWAY, EVERY WAY possible.
