What we are working on NOW

We are encouraged by the feedback we are receiving from visitors to our blog. We have received many enquiries-people asking how to become immediately involved. Our plan is to develop skits that we can use to interview people about cancer. The interviews will be aired on T.V., You Tube, and on DVD. We will cover the following themes in our educational interviewes:

1.Awareness :-what do people know about cancer.

2. Stigma :- what is the reaction of the community when they know someone has cancer.

3.Voluntary testing:-what are the challenges of voluntary testing for cancer and where can one test.
We will be pleased to hear from you. Feel free to post your comments about our work on our blog. Thank you for visiting.

National Union of Creative & Performing Artists and UCRF

About us
The National Union of Creative & Performing Artists [NUCPA] is a Ugandan based and registered workers’ under the Central Organization of Free Trade Unions. As artists, it’s in our interest to help save the world and thus a spring factor to our endless commitment in the fight against. Cancer

Working hand in hand with all artists all over the country, artists we have come up with a liaison office and committee that coordinates the activities of the union with the great service of Uganda Cancer Research Foundation [UCRF]. Artists all over the country are continuously and massively teaming up for a uniformed force against cancer. This we have achieved through the mobilization of the 3 skills;

Live Stage Productions
These involve Performing Arts staging live performances of plays, music, dances, and recording short films. Art exhibitions of paintings and other pieces of art are done. Artists and schools have come up with different music, dance and drama productions in the bid to participate in the on-going campaign against cancer.

Mobile Cinema
To reach many in the community at a friendly cost, artists have adopted the model of mobile cinema. Within a back tent, the public would be mobilized and presented to at the projector screen. This would involve productions like films and short films, music videos, documentaries, screen plays/drama as well as power point presentations. In cases of communities with halls, such would be utilized basing on convenience.

Screen Documentaries
UCRF artists working under the leadership of UCRF Luweero Branch scout out for individuals touched by cancer and record live or proxy interviews. Documentaries are developed and produced for broadcasting via different mediums. This would also be used for training and in workshops. Such documentaries are aimed at unveiling the ground effect of the pathogen cancer and therefore shall hold live interviews of cancer victims that is; patients, friends, neighbors and family.
Screen documentaries are live, physical, exemplary, realistic and informative in nature.

By broadcasting our programs through the television and radio media, we are so to maximize the flow of information to all nations.

Training and Workshops
With our mobile and attractive mobile cinema, we have built a strong bond to disseminate information to the public. With our artistic and comical presentations, we have also bridged the gap between information and the African poor reading culture.

Digital Photography
A number of artists are teaming to paint an inspirational end to cancer. As the union, we also look forward to an annual painting exhibition against cancer.

Create Video reports
With experience with the eminent Ugandan film companies and audience, we very much believe that as artist, video reports will best be essential in accessing our achievements and strength. This shall as well be backed up with still photos and paper work.
Membership

Registering with any of the Ugandan artists associations is an implied membership to the Union. As well, artists can also join the Union on direct registration. All such registered artists are part of the NUCPA-UCRF Collaboration.
