14 Methodology trust in technology and a general preference for personal contacts that seems to determine the majority of interactions in the East African Arts Sector. The site visits and interviews are complemented by online research of relevant websites and available studies. The following conferences took place during the time of the research and allowed the opportunity for further exchange and discussions: 1. Womex, Copenhagen 27-31 October 2010 2. AMA Mobility Think Tank, Tangier 26-28 November 2010 3. Indian Ocean Music Network, Durban 28 March – 2 April 2011 The time frame of the study was initially envisioned to be for three months, which had to be extended due to unavoidable circumstances. Part time research for 3 month therefore preceded the 2 months of site visits. It is recommended to extend the total research period to 6 month for future similar papers. — East Africa — 2.1. Defining Terminology The East African Community (EAC) is the regional intergovernmental organisation of the Republics of Kenya, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania, Republic of Rwanda and Republic of Burundi with its headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania. The Treaty for Establishment of the East African Community was signed on 30 November 1999 and entered into force on 7 July 2000 following its ratification by the original three Partner States – Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The Republic of Rwanda and the Republic of Burundi acceded to the EAC Treaty on 18 June 2007 and became full Members of the Community with effect from 1 July 2007. The original intention of the study was to include the countries belonging to the East African Community as well as Ethiopia and Sudan. For time limitations and practical considerations, Sudan had to be excluded from the scope of this study. Therefore the study looks generally at the East African region, (as opposed to political
15 Methodology — MOBILITY — — allegiance) and includes the country of Ethiopia. Mobility in the arts sector is for the purpose of this study defined as a temporary relocation of artist’s presentation in another region or in another country other than permanent residence; for the purpose of presentation, performance, study, teaching or rehearsal. The relationship between mobility and migration is frequently related to economic means of survival (less frequently to an improvement on a social or economic scale). Drawing the line between artistic mobility and migration can be challenging as some artists will spend part of their career living and working in another country (Wiesand “Mobility Matters” 2008) and eventually become associated with the country of their choice. Some famous musicians whose life and career exemplifies this kind of migration, are Samba Mpangala (originally from DRC, moved to Uganda and now lives in Kenya/USA), Remmy Ongala (originally from DRC, spent the most successful years of his music career based in Dar es Salaam) and Ayub Ogada (originally from Kenya, now living in UK). TOURING — — TOURING CIRCUITS — According to the new Oxford American dictionary, a “tour” can refer to a journey made by performers or an athletic team, in which they perform or play in several different places. These places do not necessarily need to be located in several countries, though most case studies presented in this paper will involve a crossing of country borders. A touring circuit is a more or less closely defined network of performance places for the purpose of circulating artwork and performances. It depends very much on the definition of organizers on how open or closed this network is and what criteria are applied for development and membership
