Zimbabwe Theatre Academy Artists come to Pelican Bay!

In June of 2022, Zimbabwean artists Cadrick (Khe Khe) Msongelwa and Ronald Sigeca toured to Dell'Arte with their piece award-winning piece "Zandezi", directed by Lloyd Nyikadzino, which tells the story of several men imprisoned in Zimbabwe. Cadrick and Ronald are graduates of the Zimbabwe Theatre Academy and began developing their work as students.

During their time in Blue Lake, they began working with Dell'Arte's Andrew De La Pena on a sequel titled "Next". In an exchange event on June 14, these three artists, along with Dell'Arte faculty member Cleo DeOrio, came to Pelican Bay for a day of artistic exchange, a workshop performance of "Next", and seeing pieces created by our program ensembles. 

Check out this article from the Lost Coast Outpost about the exchange. Exchanges within Pelican Bay with Dell'Arte artists and guests alike are important to our programming inside and we'd like to thank the community for their support!
