Arthur Kisenyi (born 1990) is a Ugandan actor, singer and musician. He started professional acting in 2007 with ''Strange News'', a project by Norwegian music composer Rolf Wallin and Belgian Director Josse dePauw about child soldiers in Africa.〔 "But even more memorable was the performance of the young Ugandan actor Arthur Kisenyi, delivering a monologue of astonishing power and immediacy in this 35-minute work, and all from memory."〕 Arthur plays〔http://strange-news.info/〕 the former child soldier in Rolf Wallin and Josse De Pauw's Strange News, a large multimedia work including symphony orchestra, video and surround sound. Luckily not a former child soldier himself, however, the cruel conflict in neighbouring DR Congo, and Uganda's own history is all too real. Born and raised in the Ugandan capital, he won the role among 90 young men in a local audition at the age of 16. Shortly after he left for Oslo, where Josse De Pauw created the role especially for him. He has since the premiere with Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra in 2007 performed Strange News in a number of cities, among them Porto and Chicago, Toronto, Brussels, Amsterdam, Stavanger, Birmingham, London among others. He studied Drama at the Performing Arts and Film Department Makerere University where he was taught by Dr. Patrick Mangeni, Philip Luswata, Branco Lawrence Sekalega,Dr. Mercy Mirembe Ntangare, Dr. Nanyonga Tamusuza among others. His research was about the 'General Public's perception of Theatre Artistes' with Bakayimbira Drama actors as his case study. In his final year, he was selected the best play director with his directing project of Nikolai Gogol's 'Marriage'. He was in 2012 contracted by Sharing Youth Centre Nsambya on behalf of the white fathers to direct the play 'Loud Silence' which handled Child labor, child trafficking and sex enslavement. He later on showed the same play at Mbarara University of Science & Technology and Maryhill High School Mbarara. He is an arts entrepreneur who invests in creation & development of stage, radio and TV concepts. He continues to explore his abilities as a director, actor and performer as a free lance theatre artiste while also singing with "The Freemen Band"〔http://www.freemenug.com/〕 under the stage name Arthur Okman. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Kisenyi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
