Catch them young. Teaching children on drama presentations and movie-making

Good day everyone, I am so excited to presents to this wonderful group the role I played in teaching the children in my neighborhood how to act in drama and also movies.

A lot of people making names today in the movie industry started at a very young age. So catching them young is imperative in opening their eyes to understanding how movies are produced. Also, they will be able to know what the future holds for them.

I decided to gather some children in my neighborhood. About 15 of them who developed interests in acting. After putting them through, I gave them a platform to act and showcase their abilities and to my greatest surprise they all best my imaginations.

The script of the drama was about unity. I decided to come up with a simple line of drama for them. The storyline has it that the various ethnic groups in the city struggled over a piece of land for planting. As a result of this, they fought and killed a lot of people, destroying properties and their homes.

When the news about the fracas got to the king, he summoned the groups involved and made peace among them.

The four ethnic groups represented in the drama are the Hausas, the Yorubas, the Igbos and the Ibibios. Each of these ethnic groups has its unique characteristics in its modus operandi as seen in the attire worn by the children.

The passion and interests developed by the children towards acting are top-notch and I have promised them a performance in an occasion.

In years to come, I see these children becoming great movie actors and producers hence making a living out of it. It's high time, adults introduce some of these things to children in their young age to enable them finds it easy to do even when their mates may be struggling over it.

Thanks.
