Item A Diary of Major Productions(Department of Performing Arts, 1990) Oyeleke Oyewo, SegunItem Examining the New Role of Arts Administration in Counter Terrorism in Nigeria(Society of Nigeria Theatre Artists (SONTA), 2019) Oyeleke Oyewo, SegunThere is a growing concern on domestic and global security all over the world. The use of terror as a means of coercion in pursuit of political aims continues to increase at an alarming rate. Terrorism has continued to impoverish the peoples of the world in addition to its adverse effects on people's psychological health, security, social, political, economic life and food security. Military and non-military efforts are being employed to prevent and or counter-terrorism. Agencies, such as, Mobile Police and the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA) are at the forefront of the efforts in the country. The strategies to counter terrorism also require non-military dynamics such as attitudinal change, discourses and dialogue which can be propelled by arts administration. Even enemies will have to dialogue at some point and since the performing arts can keep the public discussion going, arts administration has a new role to play in counter-terrorism in Nigeria. This paper therefore examines how the arts and culture have fared and can be organised to perform this new role. We explore the position of arts administration in the intersection of arts and terrorism in Nigeria. Although terrorism has damaged the arts and cultural industries, proper administration is still potent means to counter terrorism. This can be achieved through democratisation of theatre programmes and structures, cultural exchange at the local and foreign levels, organisation of festivals and carnivals and encouraging the practice of museum theatre. Terrorism is usually sustained through continuous recruitment and a well-structured arts administration programme can truncate this process and significantly block the source of recruitment while creating room for dialogue. The paper concludes that arts administration is a panacea to counter terrorism in Nigeria.Item Managing Dance Theatre and the Environments(European Centre for Research, Training and Development (ECRTD), 2019) Oyeleke Oyewo, SegunContemporary theatre in Nigeria, in its attempts at cultural renaissance has demonstrated an atavistic tendency impacting on the natural and the spiritual environments. This paper attempts to study the relationship of theatre texts, the physical and spiritual environments as they affect theatre dance performers and the audience. It examines understanding of reality in performance and how efforts to aesthetically demystify the esoteric in Nigerian theatre end up in further mysicism- Pluralistic cultural analysis method is employed to examine two different productions of Rhythm of Life (a dance theatre) one of which culminated in serious cases of spiritual possess ion of the performers and some members of the audience. The paper reveals that spiritual reality can be invoked by touching on the cultural codes which appear dormant but ignitable in dance theatre performances in Nigeria and must therefore be carefully managed.Item Masquerade and the Masquerader(The General Studies Division, University of Ilorin, 2017) Oyeleke Oyewo, SegunItem Promotion, Development, and Preservation of Arts and Culture in Oyo State, Nigeria(The Department of Theatre Studies, Methodist University College, Ghana, 2017) Oyeleke Oyewo, SegunItem Theories and Concepts of Management in Theatre Administration(The Department of Theatre Studies, Methodist University College, Ghana & University of Ilorin, 2017) Oyeleke Oyewo, Segun
