Task 2d: Inquiry Task

What in your daily practice gets you really enthusiastic to find out more about? Who do you admire who also works with what makes you enthusiastic?


African culture and media involved init is something i am always keen to learn more about. Cinema in Africa is a definite passion of mine. Over the recent years it has risen above and beyond anyones expectations.

“Ties that Bind tells the story of 3 women (Adobea, Buki and Theresa)  from different walks of life, bound together by a similar pain; the loss of a child. In a destined meeting, in a small village, the women journey together to redemption, love, life and forgiveness as they renovate a dilapidated clinic for the villagers.”

What do you love about what you do? Who do you admire who also seems to love this or is an example of what you love?
I love being able to make people smile whilst performing or teaching, weather its sharing my ideas or performing them myself. So the element of sharing is what i love best about this profession. I think you can guess by know that i am very passionate about the African media industry, one actress who definitely uses the element of sharing is a nigerian actress named funk kindle, i remember listening to a radio interview were she spoke about her performing academy and its way of giving back and helping nurture young performers, this is something i would love to do in the future.

  1. Great - this links in with relating those ideas of networking with real people and situations. Afi wikipedia is a good first source but I tend to take it past that to see if I can find a more reliable source beyond wikipedia - which is not 'authored' - a bit picky but in professional writing it is good to be sure of the sources of the information for a number of reasons - following the rules of citation etc. - often writing on the web is taken for original sources - look at Patrick Abel's blog for an example.
