"Where would we end up if everyone could do whatever they wanted?" – But perhaps this is precisely the key – to self-awareness, further development and overcoming personal problems. In our new episode, we get to know Mohammad & Hussein Eliraqui and the ACT e.V. | Führe Regie über dein Leben theater group. Here, young people work together to develop plays based on the "veto principle" on topics that are hot on their minds. The rule of thumb here is that everyone can do (or not do) what they want – within a certain framework. This approach encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection on the part of the participants. The results are fascinating, sometimes provocative and sometimes moving. For this episode, we accompanied the group working on their new piece "A safe haven" („Zuflucht“). See for yourself. If you like to support meet THE GOOD ONES 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/e4ag7FsF #VetoPrinzip #theatre #goodbringsgood You can always say NO!

National Arts Theatre, the DEN of creative performances in the heart of Lagos. I went there with family as a child. I have seen Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva, RMD, Oga Bello, Aluwe, Baba Sala and many actors on stage. There were musical and cultural performances as well, King Sunny Ade, Lijadu sisters and others representing different genre of music and tribes in Nigeria 🇳🇬. Performer's Rights are hardly discussed in Nigeria 🇳🇬. Most discussion focus on Copyright with little or nothing on related or neighbouring rights. Expressions of Folklore and Performances are regarded as related or neighbouring rights. World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) defines: 'Related rights, also referred to as neighboring rights, protect the legal interests of certain persons and legal entities that contribute to making works available to the public or that produce subject matter which, while not qualifying as works under the copyright systems of all countries, contains sufficient creativity or technical and organizational skill to justify recognition of a copyright-like property right. The law of related rights deems that the productions that result from the activities of such persons and entities merit legal protection as they are related to the protection of works of authorship under copyright. Some laws make clear, however, that the exercise of related rights should leave intact, and in no way affect, the protection of copyright.' So related rights is an extention of copyright but not copyright. It is a place for performers to seek protection. The Copyright Act of Nigeria 🇳🇬 2022 has provisions on performance. LIVE PERFORMANCE. The next assignment will be on performance and it is dedicated to a friend that recently passed on. A huge loss to academia.
