Die uitvoerende kunste het die potensiaal om ’n fundamentele katalisator te wees vir ekonomiese groei, menslike ontwikkeling en maatskaplike saamklewing. Since its inception, Artscape has embarked on a committed path to realise this potential through ingenious initiatives that successfully positioned the Artscape Theatre Centre as one of the most productive performing arts complexes in the country. Over the years Artscape has established an innovative education and training programme that forms part of the building blocks in establishing a fully functional training academy; a proudly South African institution that offers hope and career options to young South Africans and even young performers on the African continent. Thabatha la mathuba afumaneka ngokulula, fumana amava olonwabo ngethiyatha uze ubeyinxalenye yeArtscape Live Vision 20!20.

Michael Maas CEO: Artscape

Artscape continuously endeavours to place multi-cultural arts and artistic forms as the central focus of productions, events and activities staged at Artscape Theatre Centre. We provide programmes in arts education and development to affirm that the arts, culture, artists and musicians are positive change agents in the realization of a rich arts and culture community. Ukuhlonela nokuxhasa ukuzibonisa ngobuchule kunikela ekomelezeni unxibelelwano loluntu nolwesizwe. The Artscape Audience Development and Education Department (ADE) places emphasis on the development and education of youth in theatre by offering educational programmes in both urban, peri-urban and rural communities. We forge relationships nationally and internationally to ensure our audiences and recipients of our developmental programmes achieve a culturally diverse education in the arts. Each year we also stage theatre productions in rural communities to gain a maximum reach to all communities. Ons bevorder die uitvoerende kunste deur die jeug in die beginsels daarvan te onderlê om sodoende ’n ryk en volhoubare erflating in kuns en kultuur daar te stel. Kuns en kultuur is ’n lokomotief vir volhoubare ontwikkeling. Deur die jeug op te lei, bou ons ’n nasie asook die toekomstige kuns en kultuurleiers. Kom neem deel aan ons programme en wees deel van die span wat ’n ryke kultuurerfenis vir toekomstige generasies bou.

2 March 2013 Hannes Thiart Photo Exhibition – Die Klopse Foto Uitstalling Venue: Oude Libertas Auditorium Time: 13h00 Hannes Thiart, award winning photojournalist and owner of t-ART photo+design and videography, iFLY Productions says: “I was absolutely amazed at the rich history that unfolded right before my eyes (camera lens) during the multiple Wellington Klopse photoshoots. At the same time I was saddened by the fact that I never – during my dozens of years working as a photojournalist at the two top Cape Town newspapers, Die Burger and the Cape Argus – knew or read any articles about this vivid artistic Wellington community. A sad day indeed for Cape Town journalism.” Hannes Thiart, bekroonde fotojoernalis en sedert 1999 eienaar van t-ART photo+design and videography, iFLY productions, vertel: “Ek was absoluut verstom oor die ryke geskiedenis wat vlak voor my oë (die kameralens) ontvou het gedurende my talle fotosessies met die kloepsetroepe. Terselfdertyd het dit my hartseer gestem dat ek in al my jare as fotojoernalis by die twee voorste Kaapse dagblaaie, Die Burger en die Cape Argus-groep, nooit bewus was van enige artikels oor hierdie aanskoulike Wellingtonse kunstenaars nie. Dis inderdaad ’n jammerlike dag vir Kaapstadse joernalistiek.” Contact: Hannes Thiart Owner: t-ART photo+design and videography, iFLY productions Cell: 072 4848 440 E-mail: hannes@t-art.co.za Website: www.t-art.co.za and www.iflyproductions.co.za

2 March Wellington Skills Development Showcase Venue: Neethlingshof

GRADE 12 SET WORKS Rationale For Productions Artscape’s Audience Development and Education Department will be presenting a series of Grade 12 set work productions at the Artscape Theatre during April and May 2013. The staging of the set works in the three major languages of the Western Cape – English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa – gives our learners the opportunity to experience theatre and the power it has to make the set works come alive. It also assists learners to achieve a greater understanding of Grade 12 language set works through bringing characters, dialogue, monologues and interpretation of story line to life. 26, 29, 30 April; 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 May English Set Work – Nothing But The Truth Venue: Artscape Theatre Time: 10h30 Ticket Price: R40

RV, CB, MdB

Nothing But The Truth is a play that was written around the era of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The play is about a man coming to terms with the past by letting every bit of resentment and hatred about the past that he has been harbouring within, out. It is a play about Black anger over the past. It explores how some people saw the TRC as an excuse that allowed mostly people who were guilty of all kinds of crimes against humanity to be set free without paying the price. The main character takes the mirror and turns it to look at himself. It is a heart-rendering play that makes the audience search their hearts for the truth. It is written by John Kani, one of South Africa’s greatest actors of our times. Director: Fatima Dike 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 May Afrikaans Set Work – Poetry: Vers en Kabaret Venue: Artscape Arena Time: 10h30 Ticket Price: R40

RV, CB, MdB

Vers en Kabaret ontvou die warmte en grootsheid van Afrikaanse poësie. Eenvoud op een snaar en veelvuldigheid vanuit die diepste onthulling van ons taal, kultuur en die oorverdowende plesier van die digkuns. Poësie, lied-verryklike, kleurvolle en feestelike ontploffing van talent gee uiteindelik nuwe diepte-insig in die psige van die Afrikaanse Digkuns. The warmth and greatness of Afrikaans poetry unfold in Vers en Kabaret. It is filled with simplicity on one string, the multiplicity from the deepest disclosure of the Afrikaans language, culture and the overwhelming and deafening pleasure of poetry. Poetry, lyrically delightful, colourful and festive explosions of talent give now a new in depth insight into the psyche of Afrikaans poetic art. Regisseur: Alfred Rietmann

Eli bali lisekwe kwilali ethile eTranskei. Mcuphi uthile waseBhayi uphanda umba wemfihlelo nanomdla wabucala kuwo. Eli tyala limbuyisela emva kwilali apho umfazi atshate naye asuka khona. Utyelelo lwakhe kule lali lwenzeka xeshanye nomngcwabo wababini abangamaqabane abagwintwa ngendlela engaqondakaliyo eRhawutini. Adultery, deceit and lies are just some of the ingredients of this intriguing tale. We see an investigator whose investigations take him to Johannesburg, then Swaziland and back to Port Elizabeth. As he is trying to solve the mystery, he stumbles across the evidence he was looking for in the first place. Thokozile Ntshinga adapted the book into a script and directed a star-studded cast in this production previously.

26, 27 July Hip Hop Festival – Break Venue: Artscape Theatre

Break is a historical journey of hip-hop in South Africa from during Apartheid up to its current reality. The play deals with the stereotypes and pre-conceived ideas people have of hip-hop and its application and influence within the hip-hop community past and present. Break refers to the idea of losing yourself to the music as with the bushman trans-dance, break-dance, the break of the music that created break-dancers, breaking stereotypes, breaking the mental shackles of apartheid and modern day media mind control, physical break in the body of elders carrying the load of a broken people. Finally we hope that the play will give Hip-Hop the break and respect it deserves.

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…”  In Scene 7, Duke Senior, preparing for his banquet, inquires as to Jaques’ whereabouts. Jaques enters immediately afterward in an ebullient mood, having met Touchstone: “A fool, a fool/ I met a fool in the forest.” Touchstone, Jaques recounts, had “railed on Lady Fortune in good terms”. This is an opportunity which Jaques cannot afford to miss and there follows one of the best known and most frequently quoted passages in any of Shakespeare’s plays. The idea of the seven ages of man has been used in art and poetry many times. Jaques draws his picture from his usual cynical point of view and intends to belittle man in all his ages.

Four Seasons is a dance performance depicting destruction and deterioration of the human mind towards us, towards life, towards each other and towards the earth. It further embraces the beauty this planet provides. It is about giving hope to generations to come. A simple piece yet portraying a hard hitting message identifying with the world where it has come from to where it is going to; how the world is at the mercy of human hands. Four Seasons is about a dying world – as we watch how Maqoma takes his audience from his winter season of loss and despair meandering through to summer as hope for new beginnings, starting to shed light and prosperity for the human race to start living again. Symbolic to this obvious cyclical seasonal movement, Maqoma relates it to our own experiences as we each have a period of seasonal change within ourselves, thus each season describes not only the world and the human effect on the world but the state of the human psyche. Four Seasons is choreographed by Gregory Maqoma and performed with the backing of live musicians.

Launch of Freedom’s Child – Melanie Scholtz sings the words of James Matthews Freedom’s Child was born out of a need to collaborate, create and facilitate change. Melanie Scholtz, Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz 2010, went on a soul stirring journey using the words of iconic South African poet, James Matthews as a use for a new album called Freedom’s Child. The album was written over two years and was recorded in 2011 thanks to the generous support of the British Council. Produced by Mark Fransman, fellow Standard Bank Award recipient, the album also features acclaimed British saxophonist, Soweto Kinch, as well as an array of South Africa’s finest jazz musicians. The album serves to highlight and document our history as a people through the words of James Matthews and the compositions of Melanie Scholtz. Freedom’s Child is ’n opwindende produksie waarin Melanie Scholtz, Standard Bank Jong Kunstenaar vir Jazz 2010, vlerke aan die woorde van ikoniese SA digter James Matthews gee. Dit sluit van SA se bekendste jazz-musikante in. Contact: Melanie Scholtz Cell: 082 9587500 E-mail: melaniescholtz@gmail.com

MdB The Mural Project The mural project was initiated and sponsored by The City of Cape Town. Renowned local artsists, musicians and selected artists are transforming the link parking tunnel between Artscape and the Civic Centre as a visual arts project. The design follows a thematic progression with the character and feel of indigenous Khoisan iconography – a colourful celebration of our original cultural heritage, taking in the cultural forms and shapes of dance, music, mythology and landscape. The theme depicts a movement “from darkness to the light” following the contours of the tunnel. Corporate sponsors are invited to contribute towards the completion and branding of this project.

Artscape New Writing Programme The programme is devoted to the professional writing and production of new South African plays and is directed by Professor Roy Sargeant, formerly Head of the Department of Speech and Drama, Rhodes University, Grahamstown and a leading professional theatre producer and director as well as Artistic Director of the Siyasanga Cape Town Theatre Company.

The theme of the 7th Annual Women/Humanity Festival is Against All Odds / Noba kumnyama entla / Teen Alle Waarskynlikheid. The Women/Humanity Festival featured in the Artscape calendar of events each year, brings together drama groups and artists from diverse backgrounds and communities. The festival is Artscape’s response to celebrating National Women’s Day and especially celebrating the many women in South Africa who have made, and continue to make, a significant contribution to the empowerment of women – young and old – in our beautiful city, country and continent. The 2013 Artscape Women/Humanity Arts Festival will honour and acknowledge the many women and men who have achieved their ambitions and dreams despite the challenges and obstacles they have faced along this journey to success. This year’s festival will feature productions which formed part of the 2012 Paralympics London Celebrations. The World Disability Festival was celebrated alongside the 2012 Paralympics, which has been the motivation and focus for the 2013 Women/Humanity Festival at Artscape.

Highlights of the 2013 Festival include: Unlimited Global Alchemy Unlimited Global Alchemy is celebratory and upbeat yet tackles big issues head-on: the politics of HIV/AIDS, living with chronic health conditions, and surviving against the odds. It is about access to art in the broadest sense: about participation and about how art can bridge cultural, educational and geographical divides. The project had its beginnings in a chance encounter in June 2010 between UK artist Rachel Gadsden and a body-map painting made by South African artist and activist Nondumiso Hlwele at the MAA Cambridge. Gadsden identified directly with the fragility and hope depicted in the painting – the experience of being kept alive by medical intervention being a shared experience – and was inspired to set about finding this artist. After a long search, and on receiving an Unlimited Award, Gadsden had the tremendous opportunity of exploring a shared humanity and artistic interest with Hlwele and five members of the Bambanani artist-activist group in South Africa. The Bambanani Group, led by Nondumiso Hlwele, consists of Noloyiso Balintulo,Bongiwe Mba, Thozama Ndevu, Thobani Ncapai and Zodwa Somlayi. The collaboration, Unlimited Global Alchemy, began life in Khayelitsha Township; and over six exciting weeks in October and November 2011 a large number of drawings, sketchbooks and paintings were created, and a series of portraits directed by Gadsden were made with filmmakers Deborah May and Cliff Bestall. In 2012 Gadsden was also commissioned to lead Starting Line – a multilayered art/film/dance outdoor performance commission along with artistic director Ryan Dawson Laight for the London 2012 Paralympic Torch Celebrations in Aylesbury. Artscape has commissioned Unlimited Global Alchemy to form part of the 2013 Artscape Women’s/ Humanity Arts Festival where the production will be showcased for the duration of the festival.

In The Wings An original play by Jared Kruger, featuring Bo Petersen, Danieyella Rodin, Madele Vermaak and Jaques de Silva. Wheelchairs are tricky things, clumsy things, funny things. So are lives. This is a story of two sisters as they battle to work past their limitations to create the future the rest of the world sometimes fails to see. In the Wings is a coming of age story of two sisters and while one has cerebral palsy, it is by no means a sad or sentimental story. The show offers lots of entertainment value. An audience will thoroughly enjoy the journey. The play aims to engage people with what life is like with a disability. Showing that living with a disability is not always easy, but it isn’t impossible either. People are people no matter what… a wheelchair doesn’t change that! In the Wings is a play about purpose; about living and negotiating the everyday stuff; it’s a play about dreams and obstacles that get in the way of the realisation of those dreams. While this production is aligned with the Chaeli Campaign and has its roots in advocacy, it nonetheless functions in its own right as a powerful piece of theatre that will move and inspire audiences of all ages and backgrounds”.

These themes are explored through the lives of the three central characters. The three actors also portray various other supporting characters synonymous to the gay experience. These include Johan’s wife, Estelle (27), having to face the truth of her husband’s sexuality: Shakir (28) currently busy with his thesis, “Negotiating Gay Identity in Islamic Societies” and Thembikile Radi (56), a construction worker coming to terms with his son Sipho’s sexuality.

Manuelfemme Manuelfemme will stage a concert at the Artscape Women/Humanity Festival with the aim of showing the young girls they work with what their current situations are; where they are now and how brilliant their futures can be by empowering themselves and uplifting themselves by studying and continuing their schooling thereby proving how important education is. Many of the actors are facing these challenges in reality and that becomes the twist – it’s a reality concert. We also aim to create a “safe zone” for girls to communicate after the concert to discuss pressing issues affecting themselves and their peers.

These years mark our childhood memories which we hold dear as they define our innocence and serve as a constant reminder of the legacy we leave behind for future generations. These memories are the defining tools of the movement aesthetic, mixed in with a streak of the psychoanalytical and a highly developed curiosity so beautifully captured in our choreographed award- winning works.

College of Magic Its approach to the education of marginalised young people through the power of arts is ground-breaking. Faced with such overwhelming odds, South Africa’s youth are blighted by a landscape of hopelessness and destitution. A future without hope is a scary one indeed. The College of Magic believes that young people need to understand that their circumstances are not the only factors that determine their destiny – they must be given the hope and skills to create, shape, participate in and plan their own future. A sense of wonder needs to be rekindled in the young people and the understanding that in the magic of the performing arts, nothing is impossible. The College of Magic’s efforts span across the disciplines from magic through to the allied arts of juggling, mime, clowning, puppetry and technical theatrical skills. Its programmes have received worldwide acclaim having been featured on CNN, in The New York Times, Canada’s Globe & Mail, International Herald Tribute, and most recently in the award-winning documentary Make Believe.

Over 80 countries have participated in festivals since 1990. In 1992 at the Standing Committee for Children and Youth, theatre for and by young people has become an integral part of IATA/AITA’s Performing Arts events around the world. At the 20th anniversary of these vibrant and uplifting Youth People’s Festivals in 2010 it was again recognised that such festivals not only give a platform for young people from all over the world to share their creativity, but also stimulate and invigorate the development of young people’s artistic achievements in their respective countries. In 2010 the Steering Committee for Children and Youth with the support of colleagues in Uganda and Zimbabwe challenged Richard Finch to develop an African Initiative which would aim to raise the profile of Young People’s Theatre in Africa and also give greater prominence to this on the International stage.

A.M.C. – The Movement of the Composer’s Association from the Baixada Fluminenese (a quarter of the City of Rio de Janeiro, a non profit organisation created in 1991 One of its main projects is the children’s music school for community children age 9 to 17, created in 1998. This school gives the children an alternative to formal education to develop personal and professional skills, using musical language. They work with Brazilian popular culture, mainly with “samba” and “choro” roots, which in great part comes from Africa. The project allows community kids, who very often are lost and without a positive life, perspective to have an alternative occupation and stay out of the streets. They learn guitar, flute, clarinet, drums and other instruments. The young musicians have been presenting themselves in different venues, including UNESCO. The school also has a special program for training music teachers. It is envisaged to bring six selected young musicians from the school to interact with South African teenage musicians and perform together in Cape Town in 2013.

Remix Dance Company Remix is currently the only company that features professional artists with a disability. Since its inception, Remix has worked with many theatre practitioners like Lara Foot, Ina Wichterich, Tossie van Tonder, Adam Benjamin, Neo Muyanga, who have brought with them skills in physical theatre, mime puppetry and voice work which have broadened the depth of knowledge and exploration within Remix’s work. At present Remix focuses on the contemporary dance genre, drawing on release technique and contact improvisations, its primary disciplines in training. The company’s technique also draws on the distinct physical characteristics of the different bodies. Both the able-bodied and differently-abled dancers have particular restrictions and capacities unique to the individual. The dialogues created between the dancers in the process of expressing their distinctive movement style leads to a powerfully poignant experience.

The Breytenbach Centre The Breytenbach Cultural Centre in Wellington was established in 2007 in the former home of internationally acclaimed poet Breyten Breytenbach and his siblings, whose parents used it as a boarding house in the fifties. After the Breytenbach family sold the house in 1974, it deteriorated to such an extent that the Drakenstein Municipality considered demolishing it. However, in the nineties a group of enthusiastic art lovers bought the house from the Municipality and, with the support of the Breytenbach family, embarked on the lengthy process of developing the building into an art and cultural centre. The Breytenbach Cultural Centre strives to: Promote South African arts, including visual arts, music, drama and literature, ◗◗ Provide a platform for showcasing the talents of local, national and international artists. ◗◗ Develop talent and present artists with opportunities they would not otherwise have. ◗◗ Be a fully-fledged, multi-dimensional cultural centre that contributes to conserving the country’s cultural heritage. ◗◗ Empower people through relevant training and self-development in order to stimulate enterprise and job creation. ◗◗ Undertake projects that will lead to the improvement of individuals’ overall circumstances. ◗◗ Undertake projects that are guaranteed to be sustainable. ◗◗

WESTERN CAPE YOUTH MUSIC FESTIVAL / WES-KAAPSE JEUG-MUSIEKFEES 2013

ANNEXURE D SCHOOLS ARTS FESTIVAL 2013 As part of Artscape Audience Development and Education’s (ADE) ongoing vision to develop a love for the performing arts, and contributing to practical Nation building, we would like to inform you of this wonderful opportunity for your Learners. Approximately 10 Schools share the same stage each evening, contributing to an exciting and diverse theatre experience, from classical choirs to contemporary dance. The festival culminates in a glittering Gala performance by selected schools, attended by various dignitaries and showcases the talent which exists in our schools.

12–28 August 2013 The Schools Arts Festival gives Learners the opportunity to showcase their talent by performing on a professional stage. The presentation can be in the form of musical items (vocal and/or instrumental), dance showcases (any dance form) and speech performances, (poetry, verse, but not drama). The Festival also aims to stimulate a love of theatre and performing, while creating an individual sense of self-esteem, pride and achievement. The project encourages nation building as young people and their parents from different cultures and backgrounds come together to experience a common goal.

29 August 2013 Selected Schools of the School Arts Festival will be showcased at the Gala event.

12–30 August 2012 The Ibhabhathane Project will host a visual arts exhibition in the foyers during the Schools Arts Festival. This will showcase work from selected Schools around the Western Cape. Visual arts displays are welcome and a selection team from the Ibhabhatane Project will select the items to be exhibited in the foyer for the duration of the festival. These may include drawings, paintings, sculptures, crafts. Please see BELOW for information, criteria and the application form.

DATES FOR 2013 are: 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28 August, with the Gala event happening on 29 August 2013. To avoid misunderstandings, it is necessary to make some ground rules clear: • Each performance piece must be 8 minutes or less. • Schools will be supplied with the date of their performance no later than end June 2013. On the day of the performance there will be a technical rehearsal on stage in the afternoon. All schools need to be at Artscape by 14h00. • Educators are responsible for supervising the learners while they are in the Artscape building. Holding rooms are provided. No more than 2 Educators per school group. • Musical groups have to bring their own instruments and music stands. Artscape provides a baby grand piano and standard drum set. • Dance groups need to supply good recordings on CD only of their music as soon as they can. • Artscape provides lighting. We are sharing the theatre with another production, so lighting cannot be too extravagant, but our technical team does its best to satisfy everybody’s requirements. • We will contact you early in 2013 for details about your performance and your technical or other requirements. • We will need a little information about the school and the performance piece. We will inform you of when to send these.

In the interim, kindly complete the attached application form and start planning an exciting performance piece which you will be rehearsing with your learners. Please do not hesitate to contact Riaan on 021 410 9927 should you have any queries.

DATES: 1 2, 13, 14, 15 August, 19, 20, 21, 22 August and 26, 27, 28 August 2013 Gala event: 29 August 2013 If you are interested in having learners from your school perform at this festival, please complete this form and return it via email or fax no later than 3 May 2013.
