XI. ARTISTIC, EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES: A SELECTIVE SURVEY
The Ibadan Theatre Arts Department has developed over the last four decades a viable curricular programme in theatre arts in its various manifestations. In teaching the Arts of the Theatre side by side with theatre history, dramatic literature, theory, criticism and appreciation, one's multi-level approach has hopefully yielded dividends in an overall development.
In this regard, work with the regular students, with the Acting Company in its earlier years, with the community, with the Western State and, after 1976, with Oyo State and with nationally composed organizations, committees and troupes, has served as nodes of concentration for one's artistic, educational, cultural and research activities.
Have served in several Committees and have participated in seminars, symposia and public lectures as part of an on-going contribution to the life of Nigeria's universities.
(a) ACTOR TRAINING AND ALL ROUND THEATRE TRAINING
At Ibadan I was responsible for the organization of the Acting Company of the School of Drama in its pioneer years while Wole Soyinka was inevitably absent.
The complementarity of the creative and the acadsemic, the interplay and exchange of ideas and skills between regular students and staff and members of the Acting company - these are aspects of theatre arts search/research which our efforts focused upon, the fruits of which have been carried forward to work in later years.
The plays listed below have served both as creative and curricula artifacts, adapting and re-shaping themselves constantly in the media of radio and television as well as on the stage.
