点评:This place was so impressive! We had a tour of all the buildings and learned about the history of this performance center, toured their one of a kind outdoor theater space, watched a detailed demonstration of all kinds o traditional instruments from the area including being able to try some, a drumming lesson where a charismatic teacher taught us a piece that sounded pretty good for us non-musicians if I do say so myself! Next we had a dance lesson and were able to perform this dance after just a half hour of patient teaching by an extraordinary dancer. There was also a chance to see three different types of homes used by Tanzanian cultural groups in the vicinity and learn a bit about each group. The best of all these memorable experiences was an over the top and energetic dance/drumming performance by about a dozen musicians and dancers. We were floored by the quality, precision, and showmanship of these performances. The school has beautiful, accessible spaces for study, rehearsal and performance. They have a 6000 volume library too. Finally we enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by a chef in an all outdoor kitchen. It would be a shame to visit this area and not spend half a day here like we did. Unforgettable!
翻译:这个地方真是太令人印象深刻了!我们参观了所有的建筑,了解了这个表演中心的历史,参观了他们独一无二的户外剧场空间,观看了该地区各种传统乐器的详细演示,包括尝试一些乐器,还有一堂鼓课,一位魅力十足的老师教了我们一首曲子,对于我们这些非音乐家来说,这首曲子听起来相当不错,如果我自己这么说的话!接下来,我们上了一堂舞蹈课,在一位非凡的舞者耐心地教了我们半个小时之后,我们就能表演这支舞蹈了。我们还有机会看到坦桑尼亚文化团体在附近使用的三种不同类型的房屋,并了解每个团体的一些情况。所有这些难忘的经历中最棒的是由大约十几位音乐家和舞者表演的精彩而充满活力的舞蹈/击鼓表演。这些表演的质量、精确度和表演技巧让我们惊叹不已。学校有美丽、方便的学习、排练和表演空间。他们还有一个藏书 6000 册的图书馆。最后,我们享用了厨师在一个全户外厨房烹制的美味佳肴。如果来这里却不像我们一样在这里待上半天,那就太可惜了。令人难忘!
