THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: "Let's Dance and Play": Tapping an Infinite Resource for Youth Development
Youth straddle the arenas of adulthood and childhood. That's why this show has considered adult aspects of a youth's world view: concerns about employment, participation in national-level politics, and community development. Equally present in youth are the elements of play that are present from earliest childhood. Play is hardwired into us as human beings.
This week, we present an amazing live guest to discuss how dance, artistic expression, and play can be tapped into for the purpose of personal expression and youth development. Her name is Sarina Condello.
For over twenty-five years, Sarina Condello has traveled the planet, studying how communities and cultures express themselves through the performing arts. By combining dance and theatrical elements from around the world, Sarina has invented a teaching methodology that inspires and galvanizes children, adults and international artists everywhere and anywhere she teaches and directs. Completing two undergrad degrees in Dance and in Education, Sarina continued with her search for knowledge in the power of the performing arts and completed her Teacher Certification, Masters and PhD course work at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).
Sarina's projects television have included: creating and hosting 13 one hour episodes of Bravo's Way Off Broadway, 65 episodes of The Barefoot Dancer, as well as being a movement coach on the Canadian national television series Pop Stars, Big Voice and Battle of the Blades. Her award winning documentary Thank You Tanzania, profiled her first art camp that she facilitated alongside her three teenagers, at an orphanage for hundreds of heroic and inspirational Tanzanian orphans affected by HIV and AIDS. Sarina is the founder and director of Learning by Heart Studio, a performing arts school for artists, teachers and students, that has been in operating in Toronto for the last fifteen years. Since 2006, Sarina's charity, The Big Little Caravan of Joy, has reached over 3,914 vulnerable and orphaned children in Africa and has trained 465 artists and educators with a child-centric arts-based methodology. She began the journey of fly-in arts camps during her university years on Cross Lake First Nation in Northern Manitoba. This year her Caravan visited 5 First Nations communities and delivered The Painted Turtle Arts experience.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
The Youth Initiatives program on African Views Radio is a forum for organizations and citizens to engage with problems that affect youth in Africa and the solutions in our grasp. We highlight those courageous individuals who devote themselves daily to enlisting community opinions, building trust, fostering relationships, participating in community groups, and developing programs for the benefit of youth in Africa and around the world.
