EkoGOND Presents International Dance Day (IDD)

The Dance Guild of Nigeria, Lagos Chapter (aka EkoGOND) is pleased to hold this year’s celebration of the International Dance Day (IDD). As Nigerian dance practitioners, we join the rest of the world in celebrating this special day that is set aside by UNESCO and the International Dance Council (CID) for the celebration of our profession. World Dance Day is celebrated annually all over the World on the 29th of April. This 2012 edition shall be graced by the distinguished presence of the dance generalissimo himself, Sir Peter Badejo OBE.

We appreciate the Kuti family and The New Afrika Shrine for their assistance in hosting this event that comes up on Sunday, 29th of April, 2012.
Time: 1pm to 6pm
Venue: The New Afrika Shrine, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.

The reason for the venue is to take the art of dance out of the seemingly traditional spaces reserved for it such as the theatre where majorly, only artists and diehard art enthusiasts visit. As part of our goals in this year’s IDD’s celebration- which is to take our art to the people- we thought of a place that is accessible to the public, a place where people visit on Sundays to relax and have fun but more importantly, an unconventional space where the people can be exposed to new dance forms.

Dance guild of Nigeria is an umbrella body for dance Artistes (that cuts across all genres of dance from hip hop, Latin/ballroom to folk musicians and traditional dances) in Nigeria. The guild was established in the year 1996 to assist our parent body, the National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTAP) to cater for the welfare of the Nigerian dancer and to mobilize towards the realization of the overall objectives for which NANTAP was formed. The aim of the guild is to sanitize, regulate and standardize the practice of dance in Nigeria.
Presently, the Lagos state chapter of the guild (EkoGOND) operates from the artiste’ village at the National Arts Theatre.
After a successful implementation of the TAX POLICY (Powered by Lagos State) and ongoing INSURANCE POLICY powered by Aiico pension that is divided into three: the Pension Scheme, Health Scheme and the Life Insurance Scheme (for more information on this, contact the EkoGOND office.), we have a new project around the corner which requires everyone’s involvement and support from the federal government, state government, private institutions, individuals and stakeholders. We propose starting theEkoGOND DANCE ENDOWMENT FOUNDATION to create equity and justice, alleviate poverty by eliminating unemployment and aiding capacity building for the dance artist. The foundation will run packages like Bursary Awards (a back to school monetary support/scholarship), for dancers who want to further their formal education. Another arm of the foundation is the Welfare Scheme where the immediate needs of our members will be met. As a result of lack of funds and foundations or schemes like this, we have lost a number of talented artistes to emergency situations, mostly the payment of hospital emergency bills. PENSION POLICY, which is to help at some point in time when the dancer can no more dance due to age barrier, he or she will still be getting some income from this policy.

Another upcoming project under the Foundation is the CREATIVE PLATFORM (festivals, dance competitions, dance slams etc) to encourage creativity in dancers thereby keeping them functioning and relevant. Accounts will be opened to run the above policies, hence our appeal to Federal and State parasatals,  private organizations as well as the banking sector to partner with us on these projects.
We wish to cease this opportunity to express our profound gratitude to all dance patrons and especially the press for their unflinching support for the noble art of dance.
ISIOMA WILLIAMS is the current chairman of the Guild (Lagos State Chapter), coordinator of Gongbeat Productions and also the Director of Drumsview concept.
The organizers of IDD 2012  are two of the most vibrant members of the guild; Segun Adefila, leader of Crown Troupe of Africa and Adedayo Muslim Liadi of Ijodee Dance Company and Olori-Oko fame.

Kwani? Manuscript Project: New Literary Prize for African Writing

For at least 60 years the African novel has deconstructed, and even transversed, ideas and imaginaries of self, culture, society and nation across the continent. A self-reflexive continuum, shifting chameleon-like; a receptacle of letters, morphing through the cry of the griot, everyman's diatribe, madman's claim of truth or the politician's manic address. An oracle.

It is the precursor to many contemporary urban African genres and forms. From the ubiquitous FM station, the graffiti of rage, the new painter's electronic brush, the characters of transnational cable T.V. and the growing fan-tribes of European soccer. The African novel determined Us, created an autonomy of expression and became the said curse of dictators.

To celebrate the African novel and its adaptability and resilience, Kwani Trust announces a one-off new literary prize for African writing. The Kwani? Manuscript Project calls for the submission of unpublished fiction manuscripts from African writers across the continent and in the Diaspora.

Beyond the foundations laid by Soyinka, Ngugi and Mahfouz, in remembrance of Yambo Ouologuen's pre-colonial quest and Mariam Ba's bending of form, to the urban journeys of Meja Mwangi, the precocious post-everything of Kojo Laing and the musical rhythms of Ahmadou Khrouma. This prize seeks to recognize the possibilities of form in an ongoing genre that has re-emerged in the work of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Alain Mabanckou, The Kwani? Manuscript Project is a conversation, an ill guised attempt at growing its own list. For there is no greater celebration of emergent forms than in publishing our own, thanks to those who have existed before us and helped us believe. We look forward to your submissions

THE TOP 3 MANUSCRIPTS WILL BE AWARDED CASH PRIZES:
  • 1st Prize: 300,000 KShs
  • 2nd Prize: 150,000 KShs
  • 3rd Prize: 75,000 KShs

In addition Kwani? will publish manuscripts from across the shortlist and longlist, including the three winning manuscripts, as well as partnering with regional and global agents and publishing houses to create high profile international publication opportunities.


Deadline: 20 August 2012

Winners will be announced in December 2012 at the Kwani? Litfest.

Happy World Book and Copyright Day!!!

TEDx events are created to share ideas that change our world and that is what TEDxIfe is all about - bringing geniuses and intellectuals who through experience, vast knowledge and skill have gathered ideas worth telling the world. This is so exciting! The biggest ideas conference in the world is coming to Ile-Ife, Osun state in Nigeria! 

In the light of this, we want to engage young people in participating in this event and they would get rewarded for that! 

From wherever you are, in Nigeria or outside Nigeria, all you have to do is send in your own original idea and stand the chance of winning $50! Our focus is on the youth and our theme is CREATE/REDEFINE/CHANGE. 

How can the government and the people of Nigeria help our country's youth, the emerging leaders of tomorrow? What changes do you think should be made? What new areas are unexplored? There are so many questions we need answers to.

Nigeria has a sea of brilliant minds yet undiscovered! Send in your piece and let Nigeria hear your voice. You are the change we are waiting for! One short piece of writeup can cause a revolution and bring about a change.

The Conference now brings together the world’s leading thinkers and doers. Past speakers include Bill Gates, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, evangelist Billy Graham, Chimamanda Adichie, Chris Abani, finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala etc.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED instituted TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

It won’t break your bank: the average children’s book won’t cost more than N500 and the adult titles are no more than N1,500 each.You can pick up copies of any of these books in stores all over Nigeria or you can email paperworthbooks@gmail.com for information about local stockists and discounts on bulk orders.
World Book and Copyright Day was designated by UNESCO to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright all over the world and we want Nigerians to make their mark.

We can do this!
