No, Virginia, Ringplay is NOT dead

Hibernating, perhaps, but not dead.
Nor is this blog, although you’d be forgiven for thinking it was. A month’s silence is a long time, and unforgivable. Please forgive us.
A few updates. Most of us have been pretty busy with other things. The most exciting thing of all is that the discussion forum at http://www.artsbahamas.com (otherwise known as Conch een ga no bone) has taken off. If you haven’t been there yet, it’s well worth the trip (and it may be worth sending the members there back thisaway too).
And then there’s the Caribbean Festival of the Arts, which is getting back on its feet after a longish hiatus, and which is opening its doors to private people as well as governments. The next one is to be held in Trinidad and Tobago this September; you can check out details here:
We’d like to encourage people who are interested to make inquiries and to make plans to attend. The government is likely to put together a contingent, but that will be selected by auditions, and space will be limited. Independent participants in CARIFESTA are both welcome (the Trinis are making arrangements for them) and encouraged. So click on the link now!
Ringplay, meanwhile, is making plans for the mounting of two plays this year:
Winston Saunders’ You Can Lead a Horse to Water, to be mounted during the Independence season;
and
Nicolette Bethel’s The Children’s Teeth, for later in the year.
Auditions for Horse are scheduled for next month. Watch this space.
It’ll be awake, we promise you.
