Free workshop for actors at Theatre-El



Drama and theatrical arts have experienced its own fair share of neglect from audiences and government within the Nigerian State. However, in past decade there has been an interesting shift of audience attention to live theatrical and dramatic performance, as more middle class Nigerians prefer entertainment with an intellectual bent and capable of  gratifying their special need for outstanding creative expressions  . Although this new affinity for live theatre among audience may seem to have been getting more traffic in Lagos, the last five years have been a jinx breaker, as more regional based independent theatre producers are rising up to the challenge of meeting audience expectations.

In the last two years Tholakele Productions have staged well over ten performances, and this year, it is set to launch its parlor theatre which will be run by Theatre-El exclusively. Theatre-El will stage live dramatic and non-dramatic entertainment at The Parlor, in Tholakele Productions office, on Barracks Road, Okoi Arikpo Estate, by Marian, Calabar Cross River State.  

Among its expectations for the year, Theatre-El will:

1.   Run free acting workshops for actors

2. Will execute weekend performances for.    

      theatre audiences

3. Work with freelance writers and directors to 

    produce their own  works independently at

    almost no cost.

New year resolutions are common drugs to get high on while looking into the year. Fuck that though, I never make them. I make other things. This morning I made a worksolution to make a signature play, something that would reek of my personality, all of it, spirit, soul and body. While I will be working towards my future length movie, I will endulge some distractions by staging a Play. As usual, I have picked a kinky title, make it just five fucking characters, no scene changes, no lights off, an hour running, but totally engaging. The title of my new play is PINK BALL, and we shall be talking more about it...do stay tuned!

CALABAR CITY From the Eye of a Passerby AS NARRATED BY EL OSAS IYALEKHUE

                   Calabar is the Paradise City; a city that bustles with a sheer theatricality that even drama itself would find too ambiguous to represent on her divine stage. The city itself is a marvel, beautiful and seducing in outlook, especially when one considers the fact that aesthetic is a remote practice in the sphere of urban planning in Nigeria. Calabar prides itself on the attractive sites that display itself boastfully at every nook and cranny of its environs. Any visitor is bound to fall prey to the allure that the city comes alive with. No one visits Calabar and not have a romance with the city and then fornicate with the idea of living in Calabar (whether long term or short term).
