Global connection
This is Nii's final video to Gabby Vautier at the Young Vic Theatre in London. After watching Gabby's original video postcard, Nii was inspired by the idea that the work he does has a real global connection, with lots of similarities between his practice and that of Gabby and the Young Vic.
In this video, Nii explores a past project which engaged a specific group of people from the James Town community: the fisherfolk who live in small shanty houses close to the sea. He also talks about his current work leading a Community Theatre for Theatre for a Change in Amasaman and discusses to his hopes for his and TfaC's futures.
The video was made on the edge of the eastern side of James Town, the border between 'Ministries' where many Government departments are situated and what was once the Dutch area of James Town, or Ussher Town.
Gabby's reply to Nii's video will appear here soon.
