Kibabii Teachers College again demonstrated their grit among their associates when they developed champs in the instructor preparing schools’ section at the Kenya National Drama and Film Festival.
Kibabii, a year ago’s champs in the play, present day move and choral verse classes effectively safeguarded every one of their titles to the disappointment of different schools that had planned to agitate the apple truck.
Their winning play, The Pendulum 2, was simply a cut above the rest in the otherwise highly competitive festival. It was scripted by Masinde Muliro University lecturer, Dr Ralph Wangatiah, and produced by the college principal, Mr Saul Barasa.
Pendulum 2 is a continuation of last year’s winning play Pendulum 1, based on a real life story of a family torn apart by deep rivalry between two brothers.
The college staged the play at the gala event held at Lenana School yesterday. The gala presentations continue today with the Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed being the chief guest.
Unity theme brings curtains down on fete
Mr Barasa attributed the college’s success to dedication by the students and their trainers.
The event, now in its 59th edition, was held in Nairobi, with the hosts being Lenana School, State House Girls and Moi Girls.
Taking second position in the plays category was Igoji Teachers Training College from Meru County, with Eregi Teachers Training College coming third.
In the cultural dance category among colleges, Eregi TTC were the winner, followed by Kaimosi TTC and Shanzu Teachers College. The oral narrative category was won by Kilimambogo TTC, who were followed by KTTC and Lugari TTC
In the modern dance category, in which performers can present any piece which they feel like dancing to, Kamwenja TTC from Nyeri County swept the tables, closely followed by Thogoto TTC of Kiambu and KTTC of Nairobi County.
