Day 6 Recap
FRIDAY, August 5, was lit with a potpourri of artistic offerings. The Dream Art Centre opened the day on a high note with a solo dance piece titled Déjà vu after which Art-O-Ten presented their adaptation of the British classical comedy, The Princess and the Woodcutter. Presented in a theatre-in-the-round arrangement, it reflected a very good example of responsive African theatre. Then came the energetic dance presentation by the Future Of Dance Company titled Oruko Mi Ni.
The day ended with a Zuri24 Media seminal documentary on Peter Badejo.
