'AN ECLECTIC MIX OF DR. RAS' DIVERSE MUSICAL PALLET, WITH SOULFUL VOCALS AND A POSITIVE POET MESSAGE'
PRODUCED BY KENNY ALLEN AND EAST AFRICA RECORDING STUDIO (E.A.R.S.) IN ADDIS ABEBA, ETHIOPIA. PhD Works
This community based cultural exchange, produce and directed by Dr. RAS MIkey C, explored Ethiopia's connection to the world through movement and featured choreographic collaborations with dance artists of Ethiopia and from other countries around the globe. Common Threads premiered July 2, 2016 at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's National Theatre to a public audience of over 1,200 people.
'Movement is life! Common Threads is a manifestation of movement across countries and cultures.' This show was produced and directed by Dr. RAS Mikey C as a part of the Africa Day Limerick 2015 events. This performance work was centred on the concept of coffee as a global culture. Coffee originates from a small region in Ethiopia called Kaffa and coffee is referred to as bunna, in Ethiopia’s national language Amharic. This Ethio-Modern Dance performance examined an intercultural exchange and the ways in which coffee/bunna has spread from Kaffa to the world. Dr. RAS Mikey uses the performing arts as a platform to illustrate how cultures from around the globe are connected through coffee, hence the title ‘A Coffee World’.
