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. 2015-07-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.fuoye.edu.ng:80/handle/123456789/1371 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. 2015-09-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.fuoye.edu.ng:80/handle/123456789/1346 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.

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.

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. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.fuoye.edu.ng:80/handle/123456789/1175 Title: TELEVISION FOR CULTURAL LEARNING; A CASE STUDY OF PERE ODE ON EKITI STATE TELEVISION (EKTV) Authors: ALAWODE, STEPHEN OLUDAMOLA; Balogun, Sola Abstract: Television as a means of communication helps in curbing and reducing societal vices.

Authors: ADESUNLOYE, OYINDAMOLA SAMUEL Abstract: A persisting trend in Political theatre in Nigeria has remained a careful evaluation and a critical analysis of the vicious Politicking and corruption perpetuated by the Nigerian political elites in the Nigerian polity, questioning the status quo for a general social change. However, this vicious politicking and corruption has demeaned and maimed the society, thus creating a dichotomy between the oppressor and the exploited. It is on this note that, Once Upon a Tower is analysed in this study to highlight and discuss the various odious politicking and selfish corruption of Nigerian leaders especially within the educational sector and its effect on the majority as well as radical social transformation that the exploited class clamours for. Therefore, this research submits that Political theatre can be employed as a tool to prod out the various issues of corrupt politicking in the society, by questioning the status quo and socially preaching change and proffering solutions if need be as demonstrated in Once Upon A Tower. The study concludes that corruption which is an offshoot of dangerous politicking, has maimed our society drastically especially within the educational sector. Thus this study recommends that corruption and dirty politics will continue to retard the society and debase the Nigerian society, until the oppressed rise up to challenge the statusquo, thereby taking the bull by the horns, to liberate themselves from the inhumane treatment they are subjected to, change will only be a mirage. 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.fuoye.edu.ng:80/handle/123456789/1123 Title: DANCE AS A COMMUNICATION TOOL USING OBITUN AS A CASE STUDY Authors: ADEOYE, ADETUTU BOLUWATIFE Abstract: The focus of this study is on communication in dance using one of the Yoruba dances of the Ondo people in Ondo State.
