2014 is an important milestone in South Africa – the celebration of 20 years of democracy. A democracy which was hard fought for and won by people like our beloved Tata Madiba, and many others. Artscape celebrates this democracy and the diversity of our people by presenting a variety of programmes throughout the year, which highlight our rich and vast heritage of culture, language and customs. It is by exploring these differences that we can focus on our similarities and through the medium of the performing arts contribute towards nation-building and a country which truly reflects our democratic ideals. Dr Somadoda Fikeni Chariperson – Artscape Council

My Word! redeSigNiNg buckiNghaM palace (The Life of Richard Rive) Venue: Artscape Theatre

ADE PROJECTS AND CO-PRODUCTIONS

My Word! Redesigning Buckingham Palace is a celebration of the life and work of legendary writer Richard Rive. At the same time it’s a salute to District Six, the heart of Cape Town ripped out because it stood in the way of grand apartheid fantasies. This one-man show borrows from an earlier work co- written with Sylvia Vollenhoven and performed by Basil Appollis, called A Writer’s Last Word. Basil Appollis is especially adept at capturing the equanimity with which Rive impacted the prestigious literary or academic worlds while keeping his feet firmly on home ground. Critic Theresa Smith of the Tonight says it’s a 4-star “evocative” performance. With his own larger than life presence and unique performance skills Basil Appollis evokes a ghostly feeling that we are watching a formidable author who is long gone but whose presence lives on. He is currently adapting Rive’s novel Buckingham Palace, District Six (the one on which his one-man show is based) for broadcast as a TV series. The show is written and produced by Basil Appollis and Sylvia Vollenhoven. Contact: Sylvia vollenhoven Tel: 021 762 4921 E-mail: Sylvia.vollenhoven@me.com

Community Ploughback Movement is ordinarily referred to as CPBM and is a non-profit and public benefit organisation which was formed in 2002. CPBM has adopted a multi-disciplinary, integrated, comprehensive and holistic approach which seeks to intervene in combating the hopelessness and apathy that the apartheid system instilled in the “township” communities. The aim of CPBM is to, as the name suggests, plough back into disadvantaged communities whatever skills their members acquire in life’s journey. The project was founded by Professor N Mtetwa who has a passion for community development, when she brought together a group of professionals from Gugulethu, Langa and Nyanga in an effort to use their skills and spare time to empower the communities they grew up in. CPBM is involved in HIV/AIDS education, school enrichment programmes, and food security and beading initiatives For ComArt Contact: bertha losper Tel: 021 931 7868 For CPBM Contact: prof Nomvula Mtetwa Tel: 021 638 0484 Fax: 021 638 0485 Cell: 076 834 8980 E-mail: infocpbm@telkomsa.net

Artscape Wellington / Mbekweni Youth Band Venue: Wellington

The Artscape Wellington /Mbekweni Youth Band is a special Artscape project, that seeks to build social cohesion by bringing together youth from the Wellington and Mbekweni communities. Using music literacy and skills development as the vehicle it builds bridges between these communities and empowers the youth with valuable skills to enable them to access tertiary education and possibly further their careers and opportunities in the music industry. The project is presented in partnership with the Breytenbach Centre and woks under directorship of renowned jazz musician and educator, Ian Smith. Most of the band could all play instruments when they came to the band but they lacked the music literacy skills to take their performances to a professional level. The band was launched in April 2012 and practice sessions are held on Saturday mornings. Band members range between the ages of 12 and 24. One of the main challenges has been the lack on instruments. Most of the band members do not own instruments but despite these challenges the band has, over the past couple of months, developed an extensive repertoire and performed at the 2013 Woordfees in Stellenbosch, at the Afrikaanse Taalraad annual convention and the Cape Town Consular Corps Annual Ball at Pigalle Restaurant in October 2013. The band will be performing at the Suidooster Festival on 1 February 2014 in a production called Bolandse Klanke and at the Woordfees on 7 March 2014.

23 and 24 april nyasha (Shona Word meaning: Grace, Goodness and Kindness) – Nyasha is a highly animated true story of Samuel Chifamba’s inner search to ease the pain of the fragmented years he lost to abandonment and the green monkey virus. It is a gripping account of the reconciliation of a son to his father, the essence of grace and the power of humour. Shona and European cultures collide in a dynamic fusion of music, spirited dance, exquisite aerial acrobatics and hilarious antics. This production is produced by Beulah Kleinveldt and supported by the Western Cape Department of Arts and Culture and Sport. 27 april credo: a Testament to the freedom charter – A musical testament to the Freedom Charter is a multimedia oratorio based on a poem by Brent Meersman with music by Bongani Ndodana-Breen. It is a poetic distillation of the Freedom Charter of 1955, a ground-breaking document which defined a vision for a just and equitable society for all the people of South Africa. Credo (Latin for “I believe”) explores the unifying values of the Charter that are now embodied in our current constitution. As we approach 20 years as a free and democratic society, it is fitting that we remind ourselves of the values that we share as the people of South Africa. This schools’ programme has been designed to help educators and learners understand our country’s journey to democracy through the Freedom Charter. We explore the meaning of the current freedoms that we enjoy and also our rights and obligations as citizens in a democratic society. Credo was developed by Pina Ya Thari and commissioned by UNISA for its 150th anniversary. For more information consult www.unisa.ac.za/credo

Into Isintu (College of Cape Town) The Gardens Campus, School of Education and Training, College of Cape Town has developed a children’s musical play with a multicultural theme called Into Isintu. The story takes place in Cape Town, the home of the Spirit of Table Mountain. Through the centuries the Spirit has resided within the mountain, witnessing the evolution of the city. In the Cape Town of today, he wanders through the city disguised as an old “bergie”, bemoaning the state of modern society and mourning the loss of the nation’s cultural identity. Like a pantomime, the characters will engage with the children in the audience, inviting them to comment and help the actors unravel the plot. The songs are popular tunes that the audience will recognise. The story climaxes with the realisation that Africa is a home to a number of cultural identities who regard the continent as their home. Using the words of Thabo Mbeki’s I am an African speech, the audience is reminded of their heritage and nationhood. Finally, the cast joins the Spirit in a lively rendering of the Waka waka – This time for Africa. 23 and 24 May (Arena)

SPECIAL PROJECTS

2000 Years since the first literary mention of Odissi in the Indian treatise on creativity – the Natyashastra – India’s oldest classical dance form is brought to the modern stage in a transmedia theatre production by Odissi Niketan Africa- in association with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra. A spectacular symphony of dance and music from both continents, this deeply moving story is a modern interpretation of Shakti, the mythological goddess of creativity. It traces the journey of Tara, a young African girl and descendent of India’s indentured labourers – who overcomes adversity to become one of India’s finest dancers. Born during apartheid on a wine farm in Stellenbosch, Tara’s rise as a dancer in the 21st century inspires a message of hope, through the power of creativity, to transform the world. It will premiere at Artscape as an officially accredited event of World Design Capital Cape Town 2014. Temple of Dance is the signature annual production of Odissi Niketan Africa, in collaboration with the Government of India and Shakti Capital (Pty) Ltd.

African Theatre Initiative For over 20 years, the International Amateur Theatre Association / Association Internationale du Theatre Amateur (IATA/AITA) has supported a number of World Festivals of Children’s Theatre. 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. After initial discussions with IATA/AITA it was agreed that such a festival takes place in Africa at a time to suit the host nation. Groups from four to six countries mainly from Southern Africa are to be invited to attend. These would include Zimbabwe, Uganda and Burkina Faso with their experience

Adriaan Januarie is the founding member of Awesome Talents. The project is based in Malmesbury and seeks to promote the abundance of talent in this area. After conducting research, it was discovered that there is a need for opportunities and a platform for talent to be recognised in the Swartland. The research also found that there is a lack of entertainment especially in certain communities. The conclusion of the research project gave rise to the formation of Awesome Talents which strives to develop the young people’s talent in Malmesbury by organising events to showcase to different audiences the wonderful talent which exists here.

College of Magic Its approach to the education of marginalised young people through the power of arts is groundbreaking. 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 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, The New York Times, Canada’s Globe and Mail, International Herald Tribune, and most recently in the award-winning documentary Make Believe.

The CPBM Cultural Ensemble is the performing arts flagship project under the auspices of the Community Plough Back Movement. CPBM has adopted a multi-disciplinary, integrated, comprehensive and holistic (MICH) approach which seeks to intervene in combating the hopelessness and apathy that the apartheid system instilled in the “township” communities. We believe that given the tools of education and self-respect that these communities can be meaningfully involved in their own development. CPBM is currently involved in four programmes: 1. CPBM Cultural Ensemble- the performing arts. 2. Women Learning to Earn – sewing and designing of traditional afro chic clothing for sale. 3. School after care. 4. Food Security/ Food Gardening/ Healthy Living programme currently funded by IDT/ EPWP. The CPBM Cultural Ensemble is an intergenerational performing group whose main aim is to promote African arts and culture. The objectives of the Ensemble are: • To promote and preserve African traditions/indigenous songs and dances and jewellery in the form of beading. • To build the capacity of unemployed women, men and youth by using their God-given skills. • To raise awareness in the communities “townships” on how they can use traditional/indigenous arts and culture for their economic development. • To serve as an income generation for the performers who are mainly unemployed, as they do not possess the skills to compete in the formal sector. The overall aim is to contribute to those processes and programmes that promote self-help, self-respect and self-esteem.

Files in the Secret Prussian State Archives refer to a Prussian Consulate as early as 1834. In 1884 the Consulate was upgraded to a Consulate General. During World War I, Switzerland represented German interests in South Africa. Records indicate that as early as 1920 an independent German Consulate existed but was closed at the outbreak of Second World War. On 18 August 1952 the Federal Republic of Germany opened a Consulate in Sea Point with Hans Fricke as its head. In August 1962 it became a Consulate General headed by Franz Malsy-Mink.

We use several interconnected long-term programmes to create the space for diverse young people, their families, mentors and friends, to confront their challenges together, grow through honest reflection, tell their stories and be witnessed for the wisdom they bring. Our 18-month Rites of Passage Programme plays a central role in the organisation. Through nature based storytelling camps, workshops and mentorship sessions this programme offers 18 to 25 year old participants the opportunity to identify and identify a change they want to make in their lives.

uNiep (the uNioNdale iNtegrated eMpoWerMeNt proJect) UnIEP was originally intended as a co-coordinating structure for a number of existing projects, but it quickly became apparent that it had a much wider role to play – a holistic role which would address not only the immediate problems of unemployment, but also the longer term questions of the social environment, human development and commercial sustainability.

Many of the projects in the UnIEP stable are well on their way to becoming self-sufficient business units. The flagship is surely the restoration of the Royal Hotel which will become a tourist centre in Uniondale accommodating the Uniondale Tourism Office, tourist rest rooms, and a tearoom and retail showroom of products manufactured by UnIEP’s projects.

COLLABORATIVE INSTITUTIONS

The model is simple: UnIEP exists as a resource for local upliftment and as the co-ordinator and fundraiser for various separate projects which are either businesses-in-training (like Creative Fashions, which makes tracksuits and sports clothing to order) or the kind of self-help programmes which every community needs (such as a homecare programme for AIDS sufferers and a community kitchen).

There’s also Comfiserve, of course, and Creative Fashions, but there are others, too: Rooirivier Rooimiere, for example (literally Red River Red Ants – an obvious reference to that species’ famous industriousness), which produces quilts and curtains and has supplied such illustrious clients as George’s Fancourt Hotel. And Nomdo Meubels, which manufactures fine furniture out of blackwood (when they can get it these days), poplar and pine. These projects have been funded with donor capital – but once they’re able to stand alone, that’s what they’re expected to do.

VDT is now recognised as an exciting and innovative dance company that produces great dancers and has good teaching techniques and is of good quality all round, with programmes including: corporate productions, performances, choreography and events management, community outreach programmes, open dance classes, theatre productions (national and international), dance workshops, lectures (administered by Gregory Maqoma) and dance trainee programmes. Vuyani Dance Theatre is funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) for a period of three years.

COLLABORATIVE INSTITUTIONS

Vuyani Dance Theatre has for the last 12 years provided a platform to establish artistic direction, to communicate qualities and values which addressed our fundamental humility, to be audacious and bold in dealing with contentious political and gender issues and, most importantly, to establish the company as an important element in the history of contemporary African dance in this country and beyond. 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. Founded by Gregory Maqoma in 1999, Vuyani Dance Theatre has become one of South Africa’s leading dance companies and has performed consistently over the last 12 years to great acclaim.

International Exchange Programmes • Liaison Arts Burgundy – France (Youth Exchange Project) Rationale: The Artscape Theatre seeks to develop an annual international exchange programme for local young artists and cultural activists. This will be done in partnership with the Burgundian cultural organisation for performing art, Liaison Arts Burgundy, and French organisation for youth education and empowerment, CEMEA. This a six months training programme. Ten historically disadvantaged young artists and cultural activists from the Western Cape would be given an opportunity to improve their skills and self-confidence through training in arts, art management, project methodology, new technologies and environment of culture in Burgundy. In collaboration with the Chrysalis Academy, this programme aims to place the students in the job market when they return from France, with a six-month internship being spent in a cultural organisation of the Western Cape. In return, Artscape would spearhead a six months training programme for young Burgundian artists, with the aim of exposing the young French artists to the cultural diversity of the Western Cape artistic field and partaking in programmes that promote social cohesion through the arts. Lastly, the Artscape Resource Centre would join forces with France’s Liaison Arts Burgundy (LAB) with the aim of connecting cultural organisations from Burgundy and the Western Cape. The two resource centres would provide a platform for artists and organisations aimed at developing international projects. • Brouhaha – Liverpool (Youth in the World Project) Rationale: The arts and cultural sector now amounts to around 4% of European GDP. Across the globe the cultural sector makes valuable and significant contributions to the social and economic wellbeing of society as a whole. Through developing the project participant’s artistic engagement, delivery experience and enterprise initiative we move the participants towards professional competencies and equip them with the skills to access employment.
