Educational Theatre training for youth in Kenya

To begin the New Year 2011, on the first of January I boarded a plane from Copenhagen to Nairobi and from there to Mombassa, Kenya to give a brief one week intensive training in theatre to a select group of AMURT Youth.  I had been told that these youth had been doing some theatre, but their basic knowledge of the craft was not very extensive.  My expectations and objectives were quite high – in one week to produce two to four quality presentations ready for public presentation dealing with issues facing the youth of Likoni, a slum suburb of Mombasa.  These issues, I had been informed, included HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, early marriage, and inter-religious conflict.
