The Gala night which promises to be fun-filled will showcase
music, dance, drama is tagged ‘A decade of Performance Perfection. It will display some of the stars of SPAN and their
unique stories via dance from the humble beginning in a little garage to ten outstanding
years of creativity and talent discovery. It will also be a fusion of artistic
choreography with international appeal through special performances by the Zap
Zip Circus crew from South Africa.
Founder of SPAN, Sarah Boulos, said “Our vision is to build
a performing arts center in Nigeria where we educate, empower and present the
performing artist and their God given arts. SPAN has trained and developed
highly skilled artistes and vibrant leaders who have become pacesetters, highly
sort-after in Nigeria performing arts industry and globally.”
Boulos, added that there is the need for creativity and
development and in achieving this feat and dream, the mindset of talented
individuals will have to be challenged, renewed and empowered to serve the
nation for future generations to come.
Some of the sponsors of the SPAN’s events in the last 10
years include SCOA, 7up Bottling Company Plc, Access Bank Plc, ITB
Construction, Indomie, Cool FM and Eko Hotels.
These organizations have provided funds that have helped to
solve problems of academic, administrative, professional and personal needs
through the development and empowerment sessions.
The Society for the Performing Arts in Nigeria has received
recommendations from several international bodies like the United States
Consulate (USIS), Goethe Institute, Lebanese Ladies Society, American Women’s
Club (AWC), French Consulate and the South African Consulate.
The SPAN Academy also provides outreach programs as part of
its corporate social responsibility platform alongside dance, drama, music and
other summer programs.
