Rwd & FF

Forum Theatre Event: Rewind. Fast Forward, Jan. 19 2013 @ the Nest

Rwd & FF
This Saturday (January 19) from 2 pm – 4 pm, the Nest will be presenting “Rewind. Fast Forward” at the NEST – a forum theater event moderated by Dr. Njoki Ngumi. This month, they’re using the forum to explore dispute resolution in relationships between men and women at home, in the workplace and in romantic and platonic contexts.

Are men always oppressors? Are women always nagging? Are men always domineering? Are women always comparing? Is equality/equity possible? Explore honest possibilities around dispute resolution and constructive argument techniques by becoming part of the action yourself and telling the actors what to do (maybe even acting it out yourself)!

Poster09012013_22 Alliance
Due to the popularity of TRIP en masse Kenya we have scheduled an extra show at the Alliance Française on Friday the 18th of January (performance starts at 19.00). Please note that seating is limited.

Date: January 18, 2013
Venue: Alliance Francaise
Time: 7 pm
Tickets: Kshs 500 available at the door

The performance ‘TRIP en masse Kenya’ is created to remember the Kenya post-election crisis of 2007/2008 and promote peace.

The contemporary dance performance ‘TRIP en masse’ explores human emotions in group behaviour. After winning an award for best dance performance in the Netherlands, the choreographers of ‘TRIP en masse’ have come to Kenya to work with nine Kenyan dancers in Nairobi to adapt ‘TRIP en masse’ and incorporate elements of the Kenya post-election crisis, resulting in a non-political dance show called ‘TRIP en mass Kenya’.
