Theme Background
Dances are sacred, holding deeply symbolic meanings and significance. Africa has got a wide range of ethnic groups, languages, beliefs, cultures and costumes, but dance unites. West African dances start from the waist: West African believe strongly in making use of their waist when dancing, which gives them the great ability to wiggle - the dances are not completed without including the wiggling. The Yoruba people of mainly the Western part of Nigeria, therefore will say Ibadi ni ijo wa "meaning; The dance is on the waist".
Ibadi was a powerful performance combining rhythms,vocals, acrobatics, poetry, dance and drama. The show was a delight to all the senses, feauturing elaborate costumes, energetic drumming and tight dance routines.
The project was supported by: Arts Council England, Liverpool Culture Company and Powys Environment and Development Education Centre (PEDEC).
