A few words about your artistic career<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I started out as an amateur actor in a community theatre group in Mombasa. A series of theatre training courses sparked my interest in becoming a full-time theatre practitioner. Over the years I have gained experience as an actor, radio artist, theatre trainer and now theatre director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you been an artist?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I've been an artist for 19 years. 14 years as an artist and trainer, 5 years as a stage director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of Covid-19, I've been trying to work on my theatre projects, to no avail; balancing the meagre resources available has not borne fruit.
My planned broadcasts have been cancelled, resulting in a loss of revenue.
This grant will help me financially to look for and create work without worrying about my next meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Demonstrate how fusing poetry, musical dance and theatre can be used to amplify the voices of the voiceless (children).
2. Explore how theatre can be digitised using audio podcasts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
