Big Brother Africa 3: Stomping the yard!

THIS week has the housemates’ creative juices flowing again: Biggie has instructed them to embrace the inner rhythm that all Africans are blessed with.

Using their bodies, objects within their surroundings – anything really – the housemates must celebrate movement and sound. Inspired by the rhythmic routines of one of the latest urban phenomena to sweep through Europe and America, they must STOMP their way, literally, through the yard.After two days of creating, choreographing and rehearsing a dance/music/performance routine, they’ve been challenged to present an entertaining performance if they want to win their wager.On Tuesday Biggie presented them with a tea set, complete with dainty little teacups and saucers.The idea is for them to use it in the first part of their performance tonight.OK? I don’t really know quite how they are going to do this but the brief from Biggie was to choreograph a routine around the ritual of making and drinking tea.Then Biggie instructed them to create a routine based in the bathroom.Apparently the housemates have to bring out the rhythm of teeth brushing, hair combing and face washing.These tasks are really getting crazier by the minute.Most of the housemates are growing weary of what they see as Biggie’s over-the-top requests.The other day he had them talking into plastic bags and releasing them into someone else’s ear to test the theory, (of the mad Biggie scientist) that sound could be caught and transported somewhere else.I heard Sheila muttering under her breath that Biggie was trying to make fools of all the housemates on continental television.At least this task is not as silly.Biggie simply has them tapping into their innate ability to make music and move their bodies.Africans have been doing it for centuries.Yesterday Biggie gave them a range of objects like pots, buckets and drums with which to make music.With all these creative people in one house, the task presentation tonight should either be music to our ears or an unholy banging, bringing on a migraine.Watch the task presentation tonight on Channel 102 at 20h00 and decide for yourself.Keep sending your views, thoughts and opinions to bba@namibian.com.na.Inspired by the rhythmic routines of one of the latest urban phenomena to sweep through Europe and America, they must STOMP their way, literally, through the yard.After two days of creating, choreographing and rehearsing a dance/music/performance routine, they’ve been challenged to present an entertaining performance if they want to win their wager.On Tuesday Biggie presented them with a tea set, complete with dainty little teacups and saucers.The idea is for them to use it in the first part of their performance tonight.OK?
