Background\ Brief History The MDD Department started in 1971 as a modification of the teaching of Drama subject offered in the English Department in the Faculty of Arts. In addition, the Ministry of Education expressed a need for Music teachers in secondary schools, which service it was thought the new department could provide. The MDD Department is the only such school of performing arts in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. Most study programmes at MDD employ an integrated approach to the performing arts of music, dance, drama, story telling, song, mime and ritual. This approach to the study of performing arts is highly influenced by the socio-cultural and political environment artists and theatre audiences in Uganda work or live in. the artists’ strong cultural backgrounds ensure this perfect balance. |
