<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#212121">In this discussion, Dr. Adegbamigbe discusses how postcolonial African states have often inspired socially engaged theatre, such as Soyinka’s Guerilla Theatre. However, their interaction with Freire’s pedagogy enkindles
the question of praxis. He queries about these challenges and explores possible solutions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

unscripted “Value Drama” that was performed in major cities of Nigeria for the 2008 Stanbic-IBTC merger. He consulted for Dansol High School, where he introduced and facilitated Applied Theatre Workshops for Teachers. His research interests reside in community
theatre plus other variants like Museum Theatre. Among his many community theatre outreaches is All for Peace, which he recently devised along with his students on Environmental Sustainability. Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed largely guided his research
works. Adegbamigbe is currently working on “Ijaye War Fossils as a Catalyst for Community/Museum Theatre” along with Prof. Oloruntoba-Oju. Adegbamigbe teaches at the Department of Performing Arts, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Nigeria.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
