edition 12_2009 dear village
ase elegua, ancestors, orishas, spirit guides, village.
how you keeping in this winter weather? the trick is to layer layer layer and make sure you have a live blanket! we have had a tremendous 1/3 of the 2009-2010 season over here at anitafrika! dub theatre. the storyteller groundings fest which launched the season in october featured our new artists-in-residence: amanda parris, cassandra walker, julie tesolin, kalmplex, kemba king and natasha morris as well as community storytellers and facilitators: kamau, tomee sojourner, new life retreat raw foods, fatima south asian foods, and art work by kara springer. thank you all for starting our season excitedly.
the new artists-in-residence have been working diligently at preparing for the mikey smith raw works festival and I can't wait to share with you what they have in store. we also have three new additions to the anitafrika! dub theatre collective. these womben are committed, courageous and fantastically dynamic: donna g, kemba king and renee bryce. all three women are dedicated to fostering the growth of anitafrika! dub theatre.
anitafrika! dub theatre will feature the 6 artists-in-residence in the 2nd annual mikey smith raw works festival. the festival, named in honour of political dub poet, mikey smith, will showcase their works-in-progress. kalmplex will also be doing double duty on the turntables as the dj for the closing night party on the 19th.
the festival runs december 17 - 19 at anitafrika! dub theatre, and includes free, daytime workshops for youth on december 19th featuring the amlakawi beteseb dubtheatre collective.
thank you anitafrika! dub theatre artists-in-residence for sharing your storytelling and your arts admin talents. thanks also to the community at large for your continued support. please check out our website for the new look and new info!
there is a new project on the horizon for 2010. dubnotic sound system. keep your ear to the ground so you don't miss the rumblings!
finally, our old number 416.434.1823 is no longer functional. you can reach us however at village@anitafrika com for the months of february, march and april. we are looking for a subletter for the theatre while I am on tour. contact us if you are interested in the space for then or for any other rental. looking forward to seeing and hearing from you.

new collective members
village, please welcome adt's new collective members: donna g, kemba king and renee bryce. this trio of women embrace the spirit and power of the arts and will be an integral part of adt flowing into 2010 with energy and love.
beside being a collective member, donna g is also adt's new director of operations. she brings "more years than i care to admit" of managerial experience to adt as well as her love of the arts (she hosts the arts radio show, the more the merrier on ciut 89.5 fm).
kemba king is also a radio personality when she is not in her role of community counselor. kemba co-hosts the monthly feminist radio programme, womyn's words. a womanist, writer and performer, kemba is also an artist-in-residence at adt, and will be a part of the mikey smith raw words festival.
born in trinidad, renee bryce is a straight up "artsy" who has found a place of comfort in the artistic endeavors of adt. as someone who revels in the arts, renee believes that there is no separation between life and art and that it's time for the elitists barrier to arts participation come down.
