Havoyoco Circus Project
Training project with two peer educators from the 101 Performing Arts Group and the Havoyoco Circus School of Somaliland funded by Oxfam Novib of the Netherlands
Hargeisa, Somaliland Horn of Africa
This will be Bill's seventh mission to Somaliland. Somaliland is the breakaway republic which, since 1991, is the most peaceful state in the area. In 10 years only 2 internationals were kidnapped but released after an hour. This and other factors mean that The Bill Brookman Foundation is confident in its ability to send two members of its partner youth arts organisation, The 101 Performing Arts Group, to Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, to work with Hovoyoco Circus School. The primary purpose of the exchange is to teach "poi" dancing to under-represented local girls who, because of present cultural issues, find many avenues of skilful, physical and expressive arts closed to them.
Poi dancing offers a means to achieve all these objectives. You can see Alana Rohr of the company dancing with poi in Sherwood Forest at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vTXdhOXTGo
And Helena and Victoria at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5y5noUjZEk&NR=1
