  • 15Th Anniversary Season Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE INIS NUA THEATRE CO INIS NUA THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES 2018-2019 SEASON Inis Nua Theatre Company is proud to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary with its 2018- 2019 season. Inis Nua Theatre Company has become a distinct voice and a firmly established company in the great Philadelphia theatre community. The best part of this story has been seeing the growth or our audience, cheering, supporting, and confirming our mission to explore the exciting plays of contemporary Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. We strive to be a unique facet of the city’s cultural life, bringing Philadelphia provocative, shocking and jubilant work by some of the best playwrights we know. Through the years, Inis Nua’s aesthetic has included plays that are many times monologues or direct address or storytelling. “While we also mount large dramas, these unique, theatrical genres make for an intimate experience”, says Artistic Director Tom Reing. Seeing Dublin by Lamplight in Ireland in 2004 inspired Reing to found Inis Nua Theatre Company and, not only did Inis Nua introduce the play to Philadelphia, the company also took that acclaimed production to New York’s First Irish Festival in 2011 and won the Award for Best Ensemble. Inis Nua revisited Dublin by Lamplight again in 2017—in a co-production with Drexel University, we taught a new generation of artists this unique storytelling style. Philadelphia audiences loved Trad when it was showcased by the 2007 Philadelphia Live Arts Festival (now Fringe Arts). That encouraged Inis Nua to present Skin Deep the next year and take the leap into multiple-play seasons.

  • “Cosmology, Masculinity and Mental Health Take Centre Stage at Africa Writes 2019”
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 23 May 2019 “Cosmology, Masculinity and Mental Health take centre stage at Africa Writes 2019” Africa Writes, the UK’s biggest celebration of contemporary African writing brought to you by the Royal African Society, returns to The British Library from Friday 5 July to Sunday 7 July 2019 featuring three headline events and a packed festival weekend. Bringing together over 60 of the most influential African writers and thought leaders, this 8th festival edition covers over 20 countries and explores a cross-section of themes and critical ideas about African literature today. Following on from the likes of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Ngugi wa Thiong’o, previous festival headliners, Man Booker shortlisted author Chigozie Obioma will headline this year’s Africa Writes. Closing the festival on Sunday, 7 July, Obioma will talk about his writing, Igbo cosmology and the blurred lines between myth and reality in his latest novel An Orchestra of Minorities. The event will open with an evocative staged reading of Obioma’s critically acclaimed debut novel, The Fishermen, followed by an in-conversation led by award-winning author and curator Irenosen Okojie. Chigozie Obioma says: “I'm really excited to be a part of this celebration of the written word and to be in company of a cohort of writers from Africa. I'm certain those three days will be like being at a concert in Lagos while in London.” Africa Writes 2019 will open on Friday, 5 July, with Our Bodies Speak Poetry, an evening of intergenerational poetry, story-telling and performance exploring the body as a site of power, possibilities and resistance.

  • Mobilizing Indigenous Languages for Democracy in Nigeria: a Discursive
    Mobilizing Indigenous Languages for Democracy in 1 Nigeria: A Discursive and Sociolinguistic Critique DOI: 10.36108/NJSA/2102/01(0130) Benson Eluma Institut Français de Recherche en Afrique (IFRA) Institute of African Studies University of Ibadan, Nigeria & Yinka Olarinmoye Department of Sociology Lagos State University Ojo, Lagos, Nigeria Vol. 10 Issue 1, 2012 Abstract For democracy to become the political culture in Nigeria, the discourse of politics has to be conducted through expressive mechanisms owned by the people. In the absence of popular ownership of political language, the road to disconnect, apathy and disenfranchisement lies wide open. We take the view that the problem of politics is located squarely in the public sphere and that discourse is the activity that characterizes the public sphere. We raise the point that the sociolinguistic environment in the country does not encourage whole masses of Nigerians to talk politics in languages in which they can freely articulate their positions and present their aspirations. We posit that citizens are disenfranchised and rendered inaudible and invisible to the extent to which they cannot undertake political discourse with an appreciable measure of linguistic ease. The benefits of diversity are endangered as many people and entire groups in Nigeria lose the means of expressing their political views and opinions, let alone political projects and programmes. Invoking Bakhtin’s concept of heteroglossia, we make a blanket case for the viability of each and every extant language in Nigeria for political discourse if such usage is actively promoted among their respective communities of users. Keywords: political discourse, linguistic landscape, disenfranchisement, minority languages, heteroglossia Introduction The language question is one that the Nigerian polity cannot escape, especially in its ongoing throes of navigating a passage to a political culture of robust democratic governance.

  • Great New Poetry Books Recommended for You a National
    Great New Poetry Books Recommended for You A National Poetry Day selection Antiemetic for Homesickness Romalyn Ante, Chatto & Windus, £10.00 The poems in Romalyn Ante’s luminous debut build a bridge between two worlds: journeying from the country ‘na nagluwal sa ‘yo’ – that gave birth to you – to a new life in the United Kingdom. Steeped in Filipino folklore, and studded with Tagalog, these poems speak of the ache of assimilation and the complexities of belonging, telling the stories of generations of migrants who find exile through employment – through the voices of the mothers who leave and the children who are left behind. With dazzling formal dexterity and emotional resonance, this debut offers a unique perspective on family, colonialism, homeland and heritage: from countries we carry with us, to the places we call home. The Air Year Caroline Bird, Carcanet, £9.99 The Air Year, shortlisted for the 2020 Forward Prize for Best Collection, is Caroline Bird’s name for “the anniversary prior to paper / for which ephemeral gifts are traditional”. This is love at break-neck pace: the speakers of her poems are funny, reckless, exuberant even when examining the damage. Bird, an accomplished playwright and performer with five highly praised Carcanet poetry collections, pulls off what The Guardian calls an “unusual combination of dark subject matter and an unrelentingly upbeat, even fizzy demeanour… It’s a wild ride, but an exhilarating one.” Postcolonial Love Poem Natalie Diaz, Faber & Faber, £10.99 The UK publication of Natalie Diaz’s new collection has been heralded in The Guardian as an event as revolutionary for British poetry as the arrival of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl.
