Output of the project related to training center:
• Learning about different theatrical disciplines;
• Gaining a better understanding of the entire process of putting on a Oromo theater production and other marginalized Ethiopian Ethnics art;
Allowing young peoples with an interest in any aspect of Oromo and any marginalized Ethiopian Ethics theatre, the opportunity to receive training from experienced theatre practitioners in each aspect of theatre-making and then to apply this training to the staging of a production. Participants in the project could have some experience gained from working on school productions and with local amateur companies or may have an interest in theatre but no prior opportunity to learn about the different functions and how they come together to put on a show.
By establishing Oromo theater center and by providing exposure and opportunities for young people to receive training in all aspects of the performing arts together with the opportunity to participate in the theatre making process the Finfinnee theater and art training center aims to stimulate growth and participation in Oromo theatre and to encourage local youth to consider a career in theatre and preparing the Oromo theater show access in Addis Ababa. In addition, creating an opportunity to any marginalized Ethiopian Ethics art development by accessing using them this center service at a fair price.
