In April 2008 members of Fusion Youth Theatre spent two weeks in Ghana's capitol, Accra, in Africa with professional african dance group TimAfrik. They worked together to devise a dance performance which toured around the area including a live performance on TV Africa! They also visited the slums and local schools and donated money and small equipment. Visit their website on www.fusionyouththeatre.co.uk for more information about the group.

TUESDAY 8th April 2008

This was a full day of rehearsals, we have to work hard to keep up with them. The dancers consist of Derek who is leading as the choreographer. He is a very good looking guy and an amazing dancer. The rest of incredibly fit young men and one girl.
We started to create pieces together followed by a dance by the 'blacks', then a dance by the 'whites' - as they describe it. Then we come together at the end in unity once more.
They don't have much money or food, but when they have bread they share it with us and always offer us whatever they have.
Anyway, we pulled the pieces together really well and felt a little better that we could do the performed well enough.
