Title: THE PHILOSOPHY OF BASICS AND FRAGMENTS IN PLAY-DIRECTING: CIRCUS OF FREEDOM SQUARE PRODUCTION AS PARADIGM Authors: OLOWOLAFE, FRANCIS ADELODUN Abstract: The essence of drama is communication and this communication must be done in a manner that the audience will understand because they are the one will communicate to through the drama that we perform. In communicating this message, the director must understand the nature of his audience. It is these understandings that will prompt him in using the best style that will enable them decipher the message of the performance. If otherwise, the message will be lost. Basics and Fragments is one of the styles that a director can use to interpret his message to the audience. The philosophy of Basics and Fragments is to detach the audience emotion from the performance they are watching so that they can watch critically and be able to relate what they have seen in the theatre to their society which is what is what Bertolt Brecht clamours for; and this is the reason why Berltolt Brecht's Epic Theatre is the theoretical framework of this work. Against this backdrop the director need to understand the level of exposure of his audience to the theatre so that he will know if they are familiar with the style he wants to use and maybe it will communicate the message to them well. This research work will look into the performance of Bode Sowande'sCircus of freedom square which adopted Basics and fragments as the directorial style. This work will use interview and library materials as the method to look into this philosophy, to know if the message was well delivered, and if not, what the challenges are.

Title: THE PLAY DIRECTOR AS A TEACHER: A STUDY OF RASAKI OJO, BAKARE’S DIRECTING TECHNIQUE Authors: OLUGBENGA, , COVENANT BABATUNDE Abstract: Theatre practice in Nigeria has dwindled in great degree just as the culture is fast dying, and the situation leaves many theatre practitioners in a state of joblessness and redundancy. In spite the numerous reasons are accountable for this joblessness and redundancy. However this research hinges on the need for leading directors to adopt the director-teacher approach, which engenders impartation, as a preferred technique in the interest of the survival of the theatre. Using the analytic investigation approach, this research shall examine the “directorteacher” technique with some select works of Rasaki Ojo Bakare; a seasoned Nigeria director. The research has it that a good teacher- director has no specific directing techniques; they apply techniques needed for each situation. A good teacher- director will produce more director expert than any other Director. Findings also made it know that Theatre can only come back to its state if the directors produce good plays that the people can relate with well on stage. Therefore, the study recommends that theatre directors should adopt the director-teacher technique in working with the cast and crew, so that they can replicate themselves in the production team, while preparing for a production. By so doing, there will be an increased manpower base upon which theatre can suitably survive and thrive.

Title: META-FUNCTIONS OF GENDER STEREOTYPES IN ABIMBOLA ADUNNI ADELAKUN’S UNDER THE BROWN RUSTED ROOFS Authors: OMOREGIE, OLUWATOSIN OLUWASEUN Abstract: Gender Stereotypes are the general overview about the roles both male and female play. The stereotypes do not essentially reflect reality; rather they represent culturally shared beliefs about what particular individuals should be like. This study investigates the meta-functions of gender stereotypes and the representation of gender roles in the text “Under The Brown Rusted Roofs” using Michael Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistic as the theory with a special focus on its transitivity systems: process and participants; interpersonal: mood and modality and textual: theme and rheme. The text is analysed through purposive sampling of excerpts that reflects instances of gender roles and stereotypes in the text. It was discovered in the text that men are seen to be active, superior, head of households, decision makers and also demonstrators of social power while the women are submissive, emotional, powerless, and occupy a subordinate position at all levels of social life under the control of men. Thisresearch will be of great benefit to linguists, individuals and general public. It will promote effective and active participation of both genders and their contribution to the development of the society.

Title: A STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF LANGUAGE OF SATIRE IN WOLE SOYINKA’S THE TRIAL OF BROTHER JERO Authors: OKWO, CHARITY SANDRA; Oyedokun- Alli, WasiuAdemola Abstract: Literary works have symbiotic relationship with issues that gain currency in any given society. Wole Soyinka’s The trial of Brother Jero is a satirical play which has received several appreciations both linguistically and literarily. This study is a stylistic analysis of the language of satire. Taking cognizance of earlier works on the subject matter, this work is unique in its scope and depth. Unlike Jonathan Swift’s A modest Proposal and Chaucer’s The Canterbury tales which merely talk about the ills in the England Ireland respectively, and its effect on its citizens. This work describes satire not only by presenting the ills in the contemporary Nigerian society but it makes use of symbolic characters to depict different sectors and classes in the society. Also Wole Soyinka reveals the ills and allows the audience to pass their judgments on the declining state of the society. With this in mind, stylistics features such as irony, hyperbole, sarcasm, invective and repetition will expose the instances of satire and its interpretation. The study will employ the theoretical framework of speech act. Description: The uniqueness of this study is that its analysis will not entirely be linguistic or literary in nature but it will present the interface between language and literature. More so, conclusions so far from this study will serve as a springboard for writers and researchers.

Title: CREATIVE DRAMATICS AS A TOOL FOR ENCHANCING CHILDREN’S PSYCHOLOGICAL AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF C.A.C NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL WORKSHOP Authors: OGUNWUYI, OMOBOLA ALICE; IDOGHO, Agofure Joseph Abstract: In spite of the introduction of the use of computers, laptop, e-learning, and availability of internet facilities in contemporary education, Primary school pupils specifically still find it difficult to assimilate what the teachers are teaching them; because the modern day teachers still continue to operate under the traditional method of teaching without applying any participatory method such as creative dramatics that involves the pupils participation in the classroom teaching and learning process. This traditional method of teaching does not give room for the creative development of the pupils instead making pupils inactive in the classroom because it discourages pupil’s participation and there is no room for pupil’s autonomy in the classroom. This research work thus surveys the instrumentality of creative dramatics as a classroom experience and as an effective educational tool in contemporary education. It carefully considers its meaning, scope, objectives as well as its effects on the children in all areas of their development. This study adopts qualitative research methodology in its data gathering and analysis using ethnographic research design; participants observation Description: A creative dramatic workshop was carried out with the Primary VI pupils of Christ Apostolic Church Nursery and Primary School Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria to ascertain the potency of creative drama activities in education.

Title: SEMIOTICS OF SET DESIGN IN OLA ROTIMI’S “THE GODS ARE NOT TO BLAME” PRODUCTION Authors: MOJISOLA ALICE, BALOGUN; Adeoye, Michael A. Abstract: Set design spices up theatrical performances especially as a significant requirement. The contribution of set design to the overall success of performances on stage is inevitable as demonstrated in available literature. In spite of this contribution, set design has been neglected by many theatre practitioners, a problem which has necessitated this study. Therefore, this research looks into the semiotics of set design in the theatrical production of Ola Rotimi’s The Gods Are Not To Blame as directed by Rasaki Ojo Bakare. It is basically meant to project the effect of design in theatrical production. This study uses Participant Observation and In-Depth Interview methods of data collection. Relevant literary materials will also be consulted to help elucidate the subject matter. Through these relevant methods, this study stresses out the relevance of set design to any theatre production, as it is hinged on the theory of semiotics as perceived by different scholars such as John Locke, Umberto Eco and Ferdinard Dessasure. Using qualitative method of data analysis which is applicable to the arts and humanities, this study concludes that, the use of set design in the theatre is inevitable in theatrical productions because this research has found out that set design tends to attract the audience more than any other aspect of a production. Set design also depicts the crust of the play text with the use of physical visual images in theatre as a major factor which influences the rate at which the audience understands.

Title: INVESTIGATING THE PERLOCUTIONARY THRUST OF LANGUAGE OF PROPAGANDA IN THE POLITICAL WRITINGS ON NIGERIA’S 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS. Authors: OJO, TAIYE ADEBISI Abstract: Words perform actions. Language and in fact words have different functions and according to the speech act theory of J.L Austin, utterances both written and spoken have a particular effect it should have on the listener. Many researchers have written on political campaign speeches and a universal trend in them - propaganda in Nigeria. The researcher feels that the related works previously done on the field of enquiry did not probe into the underlying intentions beneath the speaker’s mind neither did they succinctly address the effect the utterances make on the audience- the electorate. This makes the undertaking of this research important. The researcher also observed that the perlocutionary thrust of language use on the aspirants and the electorate with regard to campaign of calumny (propaganda) is yet to be fully studied. With this in mind, this study uses the Speech Act theory of J.L Austin to show that language has a great effect on both the voters and contestants as observed during the 2015 general election in Nigeria. This research takes into consideration most especially eight selected writings of party loyalists of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC) during the 2015 presidential election. Data collected for this research spanned from the buildup of the campaign process in August 2014 to the eve of the elections in March 2015, feared in many quarters as the last Nigeria would ever had.

Title: ROLE INTERPRETATION TECHNIQUES AND THE NIGERIAN ACTOR: PETER FATOMILOLA IN FOCUS Authors: ALOMI, TOLULOPE AYOBAMI; Tayo, Isijola Abstract: The problem of poor acting has bedeviled the quality of production content of the Nigerian movie industry, and too many ambitious Nigerians jump into acting without understanding the demands. This project which focused on the acting technique of a successful Nigerian actor is a qualitative study shall employ the interview methodology to investigate the techniques of the actor under study. The research deduce that there is the need for all talented actors to be exposed to trainings and capacity development programs that will refine their raw talent. Among other things the researcher recommends that Nigerian actors should endeavor to re-event their techniques by being innovative enough and offer fresh innovations to the acting profession Description: The issue of poor-self documentation in the sense that actors don’t document their work again. They find it difficult to give an account of the total films they have featured in. A good actor should be able to give a definite account of the films he/she has done. Peter Fatomilola was unable to tell the number of stage plays and even the number of screen plays he has acted in over the years. He was just guessing and even his guess was not certain and this gave the researcher a lot of problem because the researcher was unable to give a precise number of films he has featured in and was unable to make a straight statement about the number of films. Peter Fatomilola is unknowingly using Stanislavski’s system because all his acting styles and techniques are what Stanislavski’s techniques state. Going into the world of the character and putting yourself in the world of the character, forgetting the situation you are facing before going on set, forgetting your family and friends and concentrating on his acting.
