The artist's voice -Podcast

The Artist's voice is a platform for artists to talk about and showcase their form of art. Inviting all artists to express their love for what they do and use this platform to give an insight into their world. All dancers, choreographers, teachers, musicians, singers, composers, creators of art; this is the place to show and tell.

The Artist’s voice

I believe in the importance of creating awareness and showing support for the many creative individuals and organisations who are fighting to create and envision a future where Arts and culture remain important and relevant in our society.

With this project, I want to give artists a louder voice and a platform for them to express themselves as individuals and to share their inspiring stories and perspectives. The arts have contributed a significant amount to the evolution of humanity and society, and we should not forget the individuals who have devoted their lives to the arts; nor should we disregard the artists of today.

I also hope to indirectly contribute to educating the younger generations of the significance of the Arts. The Arts have been somewhat neglected within the educational system. I believe all forms of art are a perfect foundation from which to build a greater understanding and tolerance of each other and an understanding of the value of all forms of art in society.

 

Frank Norbert - Arusha Dance: It's not just about teaching dance. Together we become like a family.

Frank Norbet, the passionate director of the Arusha Dance Company, dedicates his life to enriching the community through the transformative power of dance. With a heart brimming with compassion and a vision fueled by empathy, Frank orchestrates special dance programs tailored for diverse demographics, ranging from children to adults, across various segments of society. His unwavering commitment extends to schools, where he ignites the spark of creativity in young minds, to the streets, where he embraces marginalized street children, and even to the disabled community, where he fosters inclusivity through movement.

For Frank, dance is more than just a series of steps—it's a lifeline, a vehicle for self-expression, and a beacon of hope for those trapped in the grip of poverty. He firmly believes that by teaching dance to children, he not only offers them a means of artistic expression but also empowers them to transcend their circumstances. Through carefully curated workshops and classes, Frank provides a safe haven where youth can unleash their creativity, build self-confidence, and cultivate a sense of belonging.

But Frank's benevolence knows no bounds. Recognizing the profound impact of dance on the human spirit, he extends his outreach to the local orphanages, offering the children there the opportunity to experience the joy of movement. In collaboration with the surrounding disabled centers, Frank organizes specialized dance workshops, ensuring that individuals of all abilities have access to the transformative power of dance.

Despite facing his own struggles, including moments when putting food on the table becomes a challenge, Frank's unwavering dedication to serving others remains unshakeable. His selflessness exemplifies the profound impact that one individual can have on a community, demonstrating that even in the face of adversity, acts of kindness and generosity have the power to change lives.

In Frank's tireless efforts to harness the potential of dance as a force for good, he not only underscores the importance of art in society but also serves as a beacon of inspiration for others to follow. Through his actions, he embodies the belief that true fulfillment lies not in personal gain, but in the profound connections forged through acts of compassion and service. Frank Norbet stands as a testament to the transformative power of empathy and the indomitable spirit of the human heart.
