Sounds of Addis Ababa

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:33:47 -0500

This was taken from the balcony of our room at the guest house in Addis Ababa. I loved these sounds floating in on the air. We were taking a nap (getting ourselves used to the 8,000 foot altitude) and suddenly this crept into our dreams.

Adugna

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:46:14 -0400

Adugna (Ethiopia/UK), 2001 Directed Shot and Edited by Katrina McPherson and Simon Fildes. This documentary celebrates the power of the creative arts by profiling the successful Adugna Community Dance Theatre in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. What began as an experimental project in the streets of Addis Ababa is now a vibrant,internationally acclaimed, success story. It is a story of a struggling urban population and of empowerment; a story of social outreach and advocacy and of feeding skills back into the community. It is the story of young people from the streets of Addis Ababa who are radically changing their lives and the lives of others. This film celebrates the culmination of five years of intensive work by the Adugna dancers under the artistic direction of Royston Maldoom, Mags Byrne and their Anglo-Ethiopian team. Adugna have already achieved a high profile with performances at both local and international level. Adugna demonstrates the tremendous potential not only of Ethiopias youth but of all young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Adugna Community Dance Theatre is testimony to what can be achieved when the creative arts are given a central role in human and social development. The challenge in making these films was to capture the essence of the incredible work being done by Royston, his colleagues and the people they work with. We strove to create two films that contain the factual information that needs to be imparted and whilst at the same time communicate the power and potential of dance as a means of expression and as a tool for social change. Dance United works with marginalised groups and divided communities promoting dance as a means of raising esteem and changing attitudes. The approach is distinctive. The work is with people, not issues, and with individuals, not labels. At the heart of the work is a passionate belief in the power and joy of dance and its transforming potential.

Quenching the Thirst: Seattle Brings the Most Precious Liquid Abroad

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:51:45 -0400

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – It's early morning and a dozen westerners, mostly Seattleites, were getting ready to leave the capital for a three-day visit to water development projects in Oromia, one of this country's largest, rural states. As they set out – a caravan of five land rovers moving through the dense traffic – many of them were still quietly coming to terms with the parting words of Adane Kassa, Executive Director of Water Action, the Ethiopian NGO that coordinates the projects they'll be visiting. "As you know, the coming third world war is anticipated to be fought over water," Kassa said. To those from water-rich regions like the Pacific Northwest, Kassa's words may have seemed hard to understand. But for the estimated seven million people worldwide who die annually from waterborne diseases or for the parents of the child under five that dies every fourteen seconds due to lack of water access and sanitation, no issue is more critical. Like Kassa, many who study this fundamental resource predict water could become the next precious liquid to destabilize the world.
