Bahamian Horse comes to Trinidad
There hasn't been much noise about Carifesta IX in the blogosphere (or anywhere else for that matter), but here, from the Ringplay Productions blog, is a follow-up to my earlier post about the Bahamian presence at the festival :
Horse in Trinidad
The CARIFESTA contingent will leave Nassau for Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday, September 21. You Can Lead A Horse To Water is scheduled to be performed three times during the week of September 23-30, once in the fabulous Queen’s Hall, and once in Tobago. Horse is only one of the offerings of the Bahamian contingent; The Bahamas will be represented in song, rake and scrape, the literary and visual arts, crafts, and a small taste of Junkanoo.
Having never seen the play I can't vouch for its quality, but over the past few months the Ringplay blog has been posting behind the scenes accounts and photos from a production of Horse recently staged in Nassau, so I'll very likely check out the production at Queen's Hall. (Besides, what the hell is "rake and scrape"? I need to find out).
Other arts organisations who care to have blog-reading types like me attend their events might wish to take note, though I suppose that not every arts organisation is going to have an experienced blogger like Nicolette Bethel among their ranks. (Here, however, is a notable exception.)
