#AskTheAlmighty

 

The Conscious ‘n Creative Arts Challenge (CCAC) has instituted an Instagram artistic competition challenge that will bring vast online viewer audience in contact with performing and media artistes from Saturday 8th August through Saturday 12th September, 2020, with the advent of #AskTheAlmighty.

 

The Challenge holds on instagream @tayoisijola. There a six-stanza poem titled “Ask the Almighty,” as inscribed on scroll, has been provided as script for artistic creation in the prescribed categories of Music, Solo Acting, Animation and Audiovisual. From the volume of Challenge entries, 10 winners will emerge after a sequel of assessments by a selection committee, the viewer audience and a five-man panel of judges that comprise of the crème de la crème of the Nigerian creative industries- Sam Dede, Hilda Dokubo, Charles Inojie, Bimbo Akintola and Julius Agwu. 


‘Tayo Isijola, the CCAC organizer and author of “Ask the Almighty”, said that “the Challenge calls for participation across both levels: the entrants and the viewer audience. As entrants create and submit artistic presentations in video, for maximum duration of THREE minutes, the viewer-audience will play the vital role of assessing the entries, by making useful appraisal through likes and comments on Instagram, and by voting for the winners”.

 

TEN winners will emerge from the challenge to receive the scheduled cash and consolation prizes- N100000, N50000, and N25,000 for 1st , 2nd and 3rd positions, respectively, while a data value of 10Gig shall be awarded to each runner-up from 4th position through 10th position. Giving the following considerations, the Challenge is distinguished from the regular in many ramifications.

 

·         Selection committee will employ useful appraisals of the viewer audience to select TWENTY apt entries from the volume of submission.

·         The selected TWENTY are presented to the viewer audience who will again vote to determine the TOP 10 entrants who shall be winners of the scheduled prizes.

·         A five-man panel of Judges will adjudicate the TOP 10 entries to decide scores and positions of winners.    

 

Therefore, submission of entries, which is open to entrants from Saturday 8th August is equally open to viewer audience for assessments, and further submissions will be disallowed after Saturday, 22nd August, 20202. 


This is a call to entrants and viewer audience fun seekers to anticipate and participate in robust online artistic engagements. For further information about the challenges, please contact ‘Tayo ISIJOLA: tayo@ccac.com.ng or visit www.ccac.com.ng

REFLEXION #2

Acting, a dramatic art of character interpretation through role-playing, is the nexus of escapism. Every true actor does escape self to assume genuine role-playing, and to enjoin the audience into escapism. Sadly, acting has also become the means of exhibition for certain non-practitioners in public domain. They exploit the prestigious art in the reserve of performance communication for escapism when fixed in a critical situation. Remarkably, some Nigerian high profile public officers indulge in utilizing acting as ploy for escapism. In effect, they modify critical situations into dramatic happenings. Such high profile characters that have evinced the “escapist aesthetics” of acting include a serving Minister (2015), an incumbent Governor (2018), and a sitting Senator (2019)- all of whom made dramatic scenes that had enjoyed huge media reportage and considerable public traction.  A new stock on the list has emerged during the probe of ill-managed funds from the coffers of a juicy g...

Artistic creativity is not the preserve of trained and professional artistes only. It is also demonstrated in the instinct of everyone who takes interest in appreciating, appraising, criticizing, or responding to the performing arts. It is an instinct that ensues when there human imagination distills life’s undulating experiences for adaptation and survival. Hence artistic creativity is a survival instinct. This thinking therefore premises the fluidity of human identity.

Indeed, there is an artiste in every one.  This artistic creative instinct provides impetus for performing artiste in much the same way as it enables the viewer-audience to receive the performance communication ...

Every genuine creative artiste is motivated, first, by a flash that glows and ignites the imagination. This drives consciousness in the artiste, pressures available field of exposure, and allows for possible expressions in the creative arts. Further, the measure of consciousness in the artiste creates what may enable an endearment of the viewer-audience to the art. Ultimately, success is deemed when the artiste is able to stimulate a viewer-audience consciousness. All such creative arts works that were considered as evergreen remain evidences of how artistic consciousness has served to preserve the artiste’s legacies. In essence, this factor of consciousness can preserve a creative art work to outlast, and immortalize the curator. Conversely, the reverse is rife in the present age. There is an upsurge of emergent creative artistes and unparalleled technological possibilities are available to them, but a volume of present day creative works have become characterized by rather diminished...
