THE
THEATRE ARTS GRADUATE AND THE LABOUR MARKET IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This
project which sets out to investigate the various opportunities, problems and
prospects that are there for the University trained theatre arts in the
Nigerian society, many Nigerian youths take an academic programme in the
universities without proper guidance and counseling. As a result, they graduate
without focus on the labour markets. For example a theatre graduate feels that
the only option left for him is the stage. This project intends to debunk this
belief by introducing the Theatre Art graduates to other options in the labour
market. Chapter one introduction: Treats the following sub-headings: Aim
of study, significance of study, research methodology. Chapter two Theatre
Arts and overview: Looks at modern times, the training of the theatre graduate
in the university, the curriculum of theatre arts education, the theatre arts
and the Nigerian society. Chapter three: Specialist of the theatre: here
the work identifies the various areas of specialization available to the
theatre arts student and their various functions in the theatre. Chapter four: Theatre
graduate in the labour market: This dwells on the various labour sector the
theatre arts graduate can conveniently fit in based on this education and
training. Here we shall also look at the theatre graduate as a self-employed

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The question often asked theatre arts
graduate and students alike, by their parents, guardians and friends, where can
you work with your degree? This from finding is as a result of ignorance on the
part of these of what theatre arts as a discipline is all about.
A lot of people, unfortunately, the
educated ones have these erroneous believe that theatre arts is all about
dancing, and singing on stage. Although this feeling does not originate in
Nigeria, it is observed that the erroneous conceptions about theatre arts
graduate or profession have changed in other countries of the world, from Europe
to America and to Asia where the theatre artists are some of the most respected
and well-to-do citizens.
It is with this in mind that this work
tends to make a critical appraisal of the state of the Nigerian theatre arts
graduate, the possible employment options available to him and also the
possible ways he could be self-employed based on his training.
1.1 AIM OF THE STUDY
This study aims at carrying out a
critical appraisal of the theatre arts graduate, his training formal and
informal, the work will also look at the possible labour sector the theatre
graduate can work based on his training. This research aims basically to serve
as an expose to both the theatre arts students, graduates and employer of
labour who is at a loss as to if the theatre graduate would fit into the
organization.
1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The importance of this work is hinged
on the believe, that apart from creating an awareness to all state holders,
whom this work is targeted at, it will also bring to the fore possible stand
points that will elicit possible debates for further research work in this
area.
It is also hoped that this work will
serve as the needed tonic to students currently studying theatre arts and
intending ones that theatre arts like any other profession is viable and a
marketable is viable and a marketable profession.
1.3 JUSTIFICATION OF STUDY
This project work by my research and
findings justifies the various opportunities of a theatre arts graduate in the
labour market. Therefore, there should be a stop to the idea about the theatre
arts graduate. For even the singing and dancing that people say that it’s the
only thing they do is not just easy for if you can’t sing and dance you cannot
go into business. A lot of people have made money and names through this means.
The ignorance expressed by the theatre
graduate on avenues available to him in the job market has motivated this
project. The problems associated with unemployment are very numerous in the
society hence it will be justifiable to utilize this forum to enlighten the job
– seeker theatre art graduate.
Secondly, the relationship between
theatre arts and other disciplines are obvious, but many Nigerians have
remained in the dark without this knowledge, it is therefore my intension, to
utilize this opportunity to encourage young theatre arts graduate to aspire to
better future as artists. The theatre profession could be as lucrative as other
jobs if properly utilized.
1.4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research is at liberty to choose
the appropriate procedure and methods of gathering data for a specific study.
This study therefore hopes to rely on both the primary and secondary sources of
data collecting.
The primary source will depend in
inferiors of both theatre arts student’s graduates and employers of labour. The
secondary source will rely on publications relevant to our study, such as
books, journals Newspapers and magazines especially in our literature review.
1.5 LIMITATION OF STUDY
Thank God it’s a dream come through. I
wouldn’t fail to recognize my problems, obstacles, disappointments, hope and
the rest of them, which I encounter in the courage of this project. I must say
it’s not easy but by the special grace of God I was able to put things
together. There were many obstacles I encountered anyway. Gathering materials, reading,
understanding, concentration and making some research findings.
It was easy to get these materials and
putting myself together, a lot of distraction here and there, money problem to
photocopy and pay transport fare to places. The most difficult thing I combined
in this write up is taking care of my little boy. I had divided attention,
running every two to three hours to cheek him and not been able to concentrate
and write most of the time.
It most funny that all hope and
encouragement given to me by Mr. Ayoge, at a time was not making any sense, at
a time there were no materials within my reach to get them together. But at the
end of the day, the sleepless night and all has been very useful to me.
