Welcome to Hermanus FynArts 2019
Dear Friends, FynArts is alive and well and will be presented in Hermanus for its seventh year. Once again many artists, musicians, performers and presenters have been invited to entertain, inspire, delight and challenge their audiences. Our unique fusion of arts festival and winter school is rapidly becoming a respected event on the South African arts calendar. For eleven festive days in June, festival goers can expect a full programme where the bar has again been raised. The second weekend of FynArts falls within the national government mid-year school holidays which start on the Friday 14 June. We have therefore packed the long weekend with a fun-filled programme for families. Our sponsors, community stakeholders, the media, Overstrand Municipality, Hermanus Tourism Bureau, and numerous dedicated volunteers, committees and staff make FynArts 2019 possible. Thank you most sincerely for investing your time and money in developing the arts in the Overstrand.
Hermanus FynArts 2019 Thank you to the teams who worked all year round to bring you this year’s festival.

Our developments and achievements are also a direct result of the continued growth and support from you, our festival goers from all over the country. We are greatly indebted to you. A very warm welcome to FynArts 2019. I wish you a memorable and rewarding arts experience. Mary Faure Festival Director 2

Since its inception in 2013, FynArts has grown through increased ticket sales and the number of programme events. It has also grown as an organisation. The FynArts Development Fund (178-125 NPO) was established in 2016 with the aim of supporting the promotion of the arts through opening up new opportunities, shared dialogue and contributing to the stimulation of a flourishing arts and culture sector. New events for 2019 include the ChillGuru Sightseeing Bus which will do a daily tour that includes a special art and culture visit to the RDP Village in Zwelihle (pg 24); Riaan van Rensburg will offer Blik en Stok rhythm-workshops at a number of schools (pg 74); and a few workshops are presented that could lead to the development of home-industries. Concerts and many other events might also be relevant incentives for a wide range of sponsored employees. For more on how to contribute to the Development Fund, click on the sponsorship link at hermanusfynarts.co.za. The permanent FynArts Gallery was opened in May 2018 to a warm and generous reception. The gallery doubles as the FynArts office. At the time of going to print, seven exhibitions have been presented. We are grateful for the support received from artists, curators and visitors alike. Friends of FynArts was launched in January 2018. Arts festivals and organisations worldwide rely on donations, grants and sponsorships for their sustainability and growth. FynArts is no exception. Sincere thanks to our first group of Friends who signed up for 2018. We are deeply grateful for your support of FynArts, financial as well as for your advice and encouragement.

Opening Concert - Mostly Mozart Cameron Williams (saxophone), Shannon Thebus (horn), FynArts Festival Orchestra conducted by Richard Cock An amazing event which brings together our fabulous FynArts Festival Orchestra with two very bright stars in the rising generation of young artists in South Africa. Cameron was the winner of the ATKV competition last year, and is a natural performer on the saxophone. He plays the fiendish Glazunov saxophone concerto with incredible aplomb. Shannon has chosen the most popular of the Mozart Horn Concertos to show off his skills. The Orchestra will complete the sandwich with a Mozart Overture Il Re Pastore, and the programme ends with the pinnacle of the Classical era, the Jupiter Symphony, one of the marvels of music. Richard Cock will as usual introduce the music, put it all in context ... and conduct!

This is Wooden Music Hatchetman: Jono Tait and Matt Catto Two-part harmony not heard since the days of Crosby, Stills & Nash. This duo combined their prodigious musical and vocal talents to form Hatchetman, a band that cuts straight to the heart with songs on life, love, and most things in between. Their soaring harmonies along with their honesty, and a willingness to explore the darker and more tender sides of the human condition, as well as a personal and human presentation of the same, set the band apart from many of its contemporaries.

Alan presents a docu-comedy in the highest definition and promises everything we have come to love about his brand of comic madness, infectious energy and physical hi-jinx combined with witty wordplay and hysterical observations. Our planet has never been in a more precarious state, and that makes it ripe for Alan to unpack how we got here, where we are and how the heck we are ever going to move forward. Covering Despacito, hiking, sign language and Macro shopping, this show will rock your world!

Songs from the 16th and 17th centuries
Rising star Sima Mashazi performed the role of the young Makeba in the first musical about Mama Africa which toured the USA and SA. The experience deepened Sima’s admiration for the music and the woman behind it.
In order for light to shine so brightly, darkness must be present - Francis Bacon
This programme of music from the 16th and 17th centuries, aims to show how our emotional experience of music can be intensified by juxtaposing starkly contrasting moods, or opposing perspectives on the same subject. The Cape Town-based husband-and-wife duo promises a concert of remarkable variety featuring the music of, amongst others, Tromboncino, Merula, Monteverdi, Kapsperger, Dowland and Campion.
In her own show, Sima shares the themes in Makeba’s music and life that touched her and bear similarities to her own journey.
Venue: United Church
In this tribute to a historical figure who spoke truth through her lyrics and gave hope to so many, amidst her own struggles, the audience can expect world famous hits like Phatha Phatha and lesser known gems like Suliram, an Indonesian lullaby.

The Echo of a Noise
Sensations Three
A one-man memoir with Pieter-Dirk Uys
Nicole van Wyk, David Jones, Emilio Lorenzo
Pieter-Dirk, South Africa’s foremost satirist, sits on a barstool wearing his black beanie and his ‘Almost Famous’ sweatshirt. The audience sits on the edge of their seats listening to the great influences in his life: his father Hannes Uys and mother Helga Bassel, and his unlikely penfriend, the beautiful Sophia Loren. A provocative and deeply personal memoir, The Echo of a Noise, is a story that aches to be heard in all its emotional states. Pieter-Dirk’s masterful storytelling, wit and wisdom are generously shared as he takes his audiences into his confidence, breaks the rules and crosses boundaries - as he has done from the moment he first stepped on stage in the 1970s. Pieter-Dirk has been a voice where others have demanded silence. He has always used humour as a ‘weapon of mass distraction’ and describes the laughter he evoked as a relief from the fears that shaped South African society in 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
The newly formed Stellenbosch University Percussion Trio, studying under Suzette Brits, will take you on a journey from the arid wildernesses of Africa to the lands of Europe and Asia. With an array of instruments at their disposal, they will ignite all sorts of sensations in a thought-provoking and enjoyable experience. All members of the ensemble are soloists in their own right and have performed in various concerts over the years.

Karen Zoid has become such an important part of the home-grown scene that her name is now the byword for emotionally charged, downright incendiary South African rock music. What’s more, throughout a career spanning more than ten years, Karen has managed that unusual and frequently tricky feat of balancing popular appeal with critical praise; of securing an audience of both Afrikaans and English speakers, and of retaining her individuality in a market known for its desire for sameness. Her unmistakable voice, razor sharp lyrics and passionate performances make her a one of a kind performer. Karen’s super-charged rock energy and an ability to write gorgeous, delicately rendered songs that speak of the emotional vortex is what drives this exceptional artist to keep creating.

Closing Concert
Classic Jazz in the Cape The Dixie Swingers
Apart from American jazz, the saxophone is almost completely associated with France. Important composers, saxophonists and general musical influences all come from the land of Impressionism and romance. The duo presents an entirely French programme such as has not previously been heard in Hermanus. This concert, including Debussy, Ravel and Milhaud, offers a brief and delicate degustation of French culture and the history of the saxophone during the 19th and 20th centuries.
This traditional jazz band started in 2003 when five like-minded musos saw the need for a ‘classic’ jazz band similar to the New Orleans Dixieland.

EXHIBITIONS 2019
Nwansati wa matimba a nga heli mongo A strong woman never gives up Curated by Trent Read Venue: FynArts Gallery The Courtyard, 2 Harbour Road In this exhibition Phillemon Hlungwani returns to the etching press which is his first love and whose arcane and ancient skills he has mastered. He also reprises a theme which is seminal to understanding who he is as a person and as an artist. Raised in a rural African village by a mother widowed young, he grew up watching women work so that they and their families would survive. The unrelenting labour of women is a reality but to Hlungwani it is what nurtured his body and his talents, and he sees in it both love and redemption in their purest sense.
FynArts - Festival Artist
Phillemon Hlungwani
His complex and technically brilliant etchings take everyday subjects and make them clear to us (like purifying murky water) and in some of them he makes delicate use of hand colouring, thus emphasising the femininity of his subjects. These works have been made with the assistance of master printer Pontsho Sikhosana and her team at the Artist Proof Studio. Exhibition presented in association within Knysna Fine Art and Everard Read Gallery. The exhibition will be opened on Saturday 8 June at 14:00 by Trent Read. Walkabouts daily at 11:00.

An exhibition of tondi: winners and finalists The tondi art competition is one of the highlights of the FynArts Festival and is sponsored by Tollman Bouchard Finlayson for the sixth consecutive year. The artworks are displayed on the barrelheads of award-winning barrels of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc in a unique setting in the small cellar of the Bouchard Finlayson Vineyard and Winery. Since Greek antiquity artists have created circular paintings in the centre of vases and, in an early pairing of art and wine, inside a broad low wine cup, kylix, which also lent itself to circular compositions. During the Renaissance circular works of art again became popular and were referred to as tondi. This contemporary exhibition of tondi blends old world experience and new world innovation of the prizewinning art and wine in the wine cellar.
The maximum diameter of the tondi, including any frame or mount that may be used if desired, is 60cms. This limitation is to accommodate the size of the supporting barrelhead. Most types of media are accepted including paper, ceramic, mosaic, metal-work, photography, digitally/ mechanically produced and photobased works. Sculpture/3-dimensional works are also accepted.

Exhibitions - Sculpture on the Cliffs 18
Abstrakt 2019 Group exhibition Curated by Gordon Froud Gordon has focussed on the notion of abstraction rather than on figurative work. Abstraction is about form, shape, colour, texture, pattern and suggestion rather than the realistic portrayal of a subject matter. This might lead to abstract thought such as the metaphysical; how does one portray emotion or feeling or the idea of transcendence? Gordon has invited ten artists, who have not previously shown on the cliffs, to engage with the abstract. The range of artists from across South Africa spans the black/white/male/female parameters allowing the works to speak with a non-racial and non-gendered voice. There may of course be subtleties in the works that may hint at these classifications but this is not important. The idea, concept and execution should be such that it may transport the viewer to another place, realm or headspace - hopefully one of quietness, contemplation and beauty. The exhibition will be opened on Saturday 8 June at 12:30
Carol Kuhn
Ian Redelinghuys
Carol’s artworks reflect on an introspective mindset; a contemplation of the lived experience. The frequent reference to body or biomorphic abstract form represents a meditative mass, contextualised through placement and setting.
Ian’s interest is in moving in on the idea of the occasional ‘fracture’ between our world/ existence on the one hand and that of the spiritual on the other.
Sculptural form exists within a timeless abyss largely prompted by memory, being and imagining. Her practice draws on a range of traditional sculpting techniques and materials, also extending into the use of digital manufacturing technologies.
His reasoning is that the ordinary or mundane object may or may not be perceived to be useful in elevating both ourselves and our station (either physically or egotistically)
Izanne uses traditional materials such as marble, wood, steel, bronze and concrete. Her sculptures are tactile, semi-erotic and transgressive; commenting on ‘DIRT’ - that which threatens established cultural categories, such as the division between male and female, human and animal, public and private. ‘DIRT’ is an offence against order, against the categories that help promote social stability. She also comments on the capacity to share or recognise emotions experienced by another sentient or fictional being.
Kgaogelo Mashilo
Rodan Kane Hart
Sandile Radebe
Cow Mash uses wisdom teeth as symbols of her own growth and experience, and inherited and acquired knowledge. She believes they express a sense of knowledge that is endless with fluidity and fragility embedded within their hard exterior.
Rodan’s artworks are inspired by architectural forms found in the urban environments of his native Johannesburg and Cape Town. He explores, and attempts to reflect, ideological traces within special contexts creating work that draws from structural, industrial and architectural forms.
Sandile’s work is centred around text, language and writing systems. He is influenced by the process of reading, and accumulating and retaining information. He reflects on his everyday encounter with language in its varying forms, to see it anew.
She associates the process of emerging wisdom teeth with the growth of a person, equating the painful experience and necessity of the growth and placement of the tooth to that of life, and the acquired wisdom in which those experiences gift you naturally.
In 2016/2017 Rodan was Artist in Residence at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, China and in May - November 2017 his work was exhibited at La Biennale die Venezia the 57th International Art Exhibition.
He manipulates the form of text through exaggeration and/or through translation into other mediums. These translations create an experiential sense of text or might accentuate the aesthetic beauty inherent in most writing systems. He uses balance, harmony, complementaries and colour to achieve this in his artworks.

Exhibitions - Sculpture on the Cliffs 20
Sifiso Mkhabela Sifiso’s philosophy is inspired by mathematical and scientific concepts and Plato’s theory that the physical world is a poor decaying copy of a perfect, rational and changeless original world. He employs hybridity a combination of his thoughts and all he daily perceives - from infrastructure to the human figure - as a tool to transform and reconstruct existing concepts and structures. He considers his work ‘hybrid’, a combination of his thoughts and all he daily perceives - from infrastructure to the human figure.
Sophia Van Wyk Sophia creates subversive biomorphic forms which become a metaphor with new meaning. Through these abstract sculptural and painted shapes she examines her interaction with the world with regards to current social injustices, as well as her personal history and memories.
Sybrand Wiechers Sybrand’s work marries contemporary sensibilities with a strong sense of sculptural tradition. He does this with humour, a passion for objects and an almost fetish-like fascination with materials. He says: ‘The central themes in my work are all aspects of being human. I strive for a deliberate negation of egocentric intellectualisation in art and move towards universality through humour. A recent typing error in a press statement (mediation instead of meditation) consolidated my feeling towards my works. Meditation is exactly what I strive for.’
Thulani Zondo Abnormal growths in society and working on a theme about cancer has given Thulani unforeseen pathways to explore this disease. By creating a dialogue about abnormal growth in our homes, communities and globally, Thulani looks at how people are affected and what to expect of these challenges. He hopes to build awareness and hope for those affected - that it is a winnable battle through early detection, medication and support. His work also has a metaphorical attachment to the abnormal growths seen in our area, behaviour and morality.
Exhibitions - Art in the Auditorium 22

Tay Dall On the other side
Creation Ataraxia Restless River
When Tay paints she imagines that ‘on the other side’, beneath the surface of the canvas, is a wall, a barrier, a divide between this side of the imagination and another side of reality. In this series she explores a place where ghostly shadows of tonality swirl chaotically through rivers of viscous colour, trails of bright ebbing energy, and cascading clouds of ethereal translucent light.

Animalia
Harmony
Integration@Creation
The series of work explores our animal side, our instincts, our fears and our survival in shared environments. It also explores our connectedness as beings on higher levels through symbolism and technique. Our urge to be in groups or to find partners, love and affection, the whole spectrum of Animalia.
The work of winners and finalists in the Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Art Award are exhibited on barrel heads in the unique setting of a working cellar. Please see page 17 for more details about this competition and exhibition.
The conceptual premise of respect and connection with Earth at Creation finds immediate resonance with Nanette. Her work seeks to explore and reflect on the metaphysical power gained from a personal immersion in the natural world. It considers the duality of this connection and the possibility of re-connecting with an intrinsic self. It is a sculptural exploration of the natural synergies and syntheses of art, food and wine.

Representing the Bridges of Paris
Synchronicity
Coral
These artworks were completed in Paris during an art residency at the International Cité des Arts. The 37 Parisian bridges, each with their own character, history, defining lines and structure, dominate the city. Gill painted 27 of the bridges. The artist suggests a parallel between history, freedom of movement and the beauty of Paris in a contemporary style. She aimed to create an ‘almost silk screen look of the 70s to capture the essence of each bridge using pre-digital, an old school-style stencil, for lettering the names of the bridges, and dynamic colour.’
Carole’s love of nature’s gatherings and groupings inspired her to create suspended sculptures that attempt to capture birds, fish and more, moving in unison. Carole sculpts individual pieces, makes moulds and casts them to resemble either ceramic or sandblasted glass, suspending or mounting the pieces in patterns as though capturing them in a frozen moment in time.
Stanislaw’s primary inspiration is nature, more intimately the ocean. The exhibition will include a few of his highly evocative, ocean-inspired works. Collected by buyers from around the world, this multi-faceted artist uses coral and other shapes that are sampled from nature to abstract the human form. Guests will be welcomed with a free tasting of Whalehaven Abalone wines.
This exhibition will also feature smaller, portable groups of birds, fish and leaves.

Guest Speaker: Tiffany Wallace Archeologists have uncovered ceramics dating back to at least 24,000 BC. These were in the form of animal and human figurines and slabs. While the purpose of these ceramics is unclear, they are thought not to have been utilitarian. The first use of functional pottery vessels is thought to be in 9,000 BC and were most likely used to hold and store grain and other foods.

Every handcrafted and individually designed piece of jewellery has contrast in either texture, colour or form. The pieces are made in silver, gold and semiprecious stones, pearls or abalone shell.
FynArts Gallery Festival Artist Phillemon Hlungwani Nwansati wa matimba a nga heli mongo: A strong woman never gives up Raised in a rural African village by a mother widowed young, he grew up watching women work so that they and their families would survive. This reprises a theme which is seminal to understanding who he is as a person and as an artist. Phillemon returns to the etching press which is his first love and whose arcane and ancient skills he has mastered.

Whale Museum Hermanus Art Circle Group Exhibition Four Seasons Our own Season starts with an awakening, an awareness of some gift of creativity, struggling towards perfection. Eventually it buds and blooms like a sunflower knowing where the sun is. Sometimes our Season darkens, grows cold, only to reflect, to rejuvenate, because the human spirit, like the Seasons, is a survivor.

Sitting Pretty: Exploring non-traditional portraiture
Group exhibition Through the Lens Photography normally begins with what the photographer sees through the lens. The end result can be something completely different, depending on what the photographer wants to communicate. This exhibition by the society’s more than forty members, shows a variety of styles and categories, from the reality of wildlife and street photography to the altered reality of black and white, and even abstract.

Kunskantoor (1) Keiskamma Art Project Group exhibition Embo (our roots: from Xhosa) The Keiskamma Art project from Hamburg in the Eastern Cape presents four large embroideries in hand-dyed wool depicting Eastern Cape indigenous forest scenes of four different Xhosa cultural events occurring in rural areas. The style is taken from the French tapestry style mille-fleurs of thousands of flowers.
This is an exhibition of works that explores the genre of non-traditional portraiture. In his large mixed media works, Bastiaan creates composite and layered figures reflecting the fluid and shifting nature of identity. Karlien, on the other hand, explores the emotional condition of her sitters in a darkly rich and humorous way.
Lize Art Gallery Anton Burger Lize van der Walt Bedazzled Anton decorates skulls of wild animals and cattle with colourful beads. He is inspired by the Bushveld as well as by the Ndebele tribe’s colourful art. Bright flowers and other themes make the ghostly skulls come to life. Lize expresses her spiritual journeys on canvas through monotone paintings as well as large canvasses creating a feeling of space. Seascapes are universal and semiabstract, reflecting Lize’s unique impressionistic style.

FynArts Legacy Award Presentation
This annual programme of presentations, talks, interviews and discussions is presented in memory of Stephan Welz, former managing director of Strauss & Co. His name was synonymous with the world of art and he was a firm supporter of Hermanus FynArts from its inception.
2019 Recipient: Sindiwe Magona The Award is presented each year to an artist in honour of a longstanding and unique contribution to the arts in South Africa and beyond. Introduced in 2015, the award is conferred at the discretion of the FynArts Advisory Board. Sindiwe, a teacher, civil servant, novelist, poet, playwright and women’s activist, has received numerous awards for her literary and humanitarian work as well as for her outstanding achievements in literature. As a writer, her work is informed by her experiences of impoverishment, femininity, resistance to subjugation as well as by her roles as domestic worker, mother, wife and community leader in a township.

Michael Godby introduces William Kentridge: Drawings for Projection Between 1989 and 2011, William Kentridge made ten ‘Drawings for Projection’ - also known after their principal character as ‘The Soho Chronicles’. This period of the artist’s maturation and arrival on the world stage coincides with the unfolding political revolution in South Africa. Personal and political themes are intertwined in this series of films, perhaps the artist’s most experimental and deeply felt series of work. The three sessions will introduce a number of films and raise points and themes for discussion. Venue: Auditorium Tickets: R85 / session or R200 for the full series of three presentations SAT 8

Elana Brundyn
Bina Genovese
There has been a growing recognition of the importance of cultural activity in the lives of people, communities and places. Elana has always believed in the value of cultural activity as an enriching experience and dreamed about bringing more of it to her own community. After playing her role in launching two prominent museums in South Africa, she knows the real challenge lies in ‘access for all’ and building the audience/participants to benefit from these institutions.
Bina will discuss the origin and history of auctions through the examination of both local and international examples of auction houses and their record sales. Reflecting on the history of the South African secondary market, she will provide insight into the importance of the auction industry and how it differs from the primary market.

The History and Meaning of Icons John de Gruchy
Sindiwe is recognised for her work on women’s issues, the plight of children and the fight against racism. As a worker for peaceful change during the struggle years, she was one of the founding members of the Women’s Peace Movement in 1976. With her inspiration and encouragement, the Gugulethu Writers’ Group meets once a month and nurtures new writers.
In this illustrated talk John will briefly tell the story of Christian iconography from the 3rd century to the Reformation, discuss their symbolism, liturgical use, and significance in the life of the Coptic, Byzantine and Russian Orthodox traditions. He will also discuss the reason why some Christian traditions reject their use for fear of idolatry, but also why there has been a renewal of interest in and use of icons in our time across different traditions.

Zola Nene talks to Shado Twala
The Honorable Pamela Churchill was Winston Churchill’s daughter-in-law but she was so much more than just that. In an extraordinary story, combining intrigue, drama, determination and plenty of passion, Joanna will show how Pamela played a major role in influencing the course of history of both England and America.
Having survived a British Concentration Camp as a child in the Anglo Boer War, Dan Pienaar was an unlikely candidate to be leading the 1st South African Division in the North African Desert War against Field Marshall Erwin Rommel’s legendary Afrika Korps. Hailed as ‘the last of the Boer Generals’, Pienaar played an important role in defeating Rommel at the battle of El Alamein in October and November 1942. Who was this Afrikaner General who some tipped to succeed Smuts? And what happened to him?
Zola is a two-time cookbook author, TV chef and food stylist with a personality that packs a lot of flavour, and an inescapable passion for food.

Tannie Evita’s Committie of Enquiry Evita Bezuidenthout Alan Committie Evita Bezuidenhout is still the most famous white woman in South Africa. She is a proud member of the ANC, in the kitchen of Luthuli House, where she cooks for reconciliation. She believes there is light at the end of the tunnel, although she suspects the tunnel is curved. Alan Committie, well-known stand-up comedian and actor, will play interrogator/interviewer/investigator/ comedy stooge to this SA legend. The result should be hilariously informative. Or the opposite. Or both. Words will be used. Perhaps even pauses. Can you afford to miss this?

What kind of President will the 2019 elections deliver?
Terry and Barbara Bell
Leanne Dryburgh
Tinyiko Maluleke
Setting off with a Michelin road map down the River Thames and into spring tides, the Bells got lost in fog, blundered into a nudist colony and missed a scheduled channel crossing. This was followed by some quite idyllic paddling through the waterways of France before striking the Mediterranean in winter, again being caught by fog after having lost their compass overboard. Thirteen years, two continents and two children later, they finally reached Dar es Salaam.
Ecologically the horses have adapted themselves remarkably well to their environment. They have been studied and documented since 1970 and today are monitored by Horse Watch Groups. Where do they come from, what are their breeding patterns and herd dynamics, how do they survive the Cape winters and sometimes dry summers?
As the cliché goes, this year’s national elections are the most important since democracy. But haven’t they all been since 1994? Beyond the question of the winning margin, another question has been lurking, namely, what kind of President will the elections deliver? After nine years of a rampant Jacob Zuma presidency and roughly 16 months of a tentative Ramaphosa presidency, in what ways do the 2019 National Elections results strengthen, weaken or complicate the presidency?
John Platter: wine and travel writer.
Horse Watcher and Photographer Leanne Dryburgh will take you through their history with stories, facts and photographs of these national treasures.

Leonard Cohen (1934 - 2016)
Film: Krotoa
Poetry, Performance, Pilgrimage
Krotoa, a bright and feisty 11-year old girl is removed from her close-knit Khoi tribe to serve her uncle’s trading partner, Jan van Riebeeck. She grows into an enterprising young woman who masters the Dutch language and culture so well that she rises to become an influential interpreter for Van Riebeeck. Krotoa then becomes rejected by her own Khoi people and destroyed by the Dutch when she tries to find the middle way between the two cultures. At the end of the film Roberta Durrant, the film director, will speak to Christopher Hope about the film.
Yvette Hardie
A homage by Lesley Marx
Drawing on her experiences from around the world, and from home soil, Yvette will explore how theatre and the arts can be a vehicle for changing perceptions, shifting boundaries and creating new communities in places where divisions and suspicion may exist.
As a poet, Leonard Cohen gave us lyrics that wove together death, desire and the quest for the divine in richly evocative ways. As a performer, he brought wit, elegance and immense charm to the stage. With Hallelujah, he left a special legacy in a multitude of cover versions that unfold the varied layers of the song. Lesley will pay homage to the late and much-mourned troubadour through film and other media.
Yvette is a director, producer, and educator active in the world of theatre, with a focus on children and youth. She initiated the launch of ASSITEJ SA, in 2007, the organisation for theatre for young audiences. She is serving her third term as President of the international ASSITEJ, which networks across 100 countries.
MON 17 JUNE
Lesley has taught English literature and film at the University of Cape Town since the 1980s. She was the inaugural director and founder of the Centre for Film and Media Studies in 2003.

Christopher Hope
A presentation by Southern Writers, a Hermanus group founded twenty years ago. Members will read their own short stories or poems, published or recent.
Finuala, an award-winning poet and novelist, reads her best-known poems as well as new ones, some funny, some sad, linking them together into a story about her life’s experiences. Her most recent poetry collection, Pretend You Don’t Know Me, was published in the UK in 2018. Finuala works at the University of Cape Town where she helps to put the annual Summer School programme together.
Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer played an essential role in one of South Africa’s events of the previous century. When Marjorie, first Curator of the East London Museum, saw an unfamiliar large blue fish she called in her mentor in matters ichthyological. Dr JLB Smith decided it must be a coelacanth, a member of an order of fishes believed to have been extinct for more than sixty million years. Mike is one of the leading fish biologists in Africa.
The Cafe de Move-On Blues is a powerful and moving portrait of South Africa. Christopher’s latest novel is a travelogue, memoir, polemic, adventures in absurdity, an account of history, written with a shrewd eye for detail and a text darted with piquant wit. Christopher will read from, and discuss, his journey in ‘search of understanding who ‘we’ are and what we thought we were doing there.’

Participants will learn practical techniques for working with silver while the very small group ensures Ralph and Heidi’s dedicated attention. Those who have already attended one of these popular ring-design workshops will have the option of creating an alternative item of jewellery.
Origami is a Japanese traditional art form, literally meaning ‘folding paper’. Its rules are old and meant to be followed - no glue, no cuts, no marking. Niki Daly has broken these rules creating a unique form that Kyoko Kimura, his Japanese origami teacher, has coined ‘NikiGami’. The first half of the workshop will explore the principles applied to ‘traditional origami’, while the second half will explore some rule-breaking and the quizzical art of NikiGami.
Learn the secrets of making authentic Japanese sushi from a Master Sushi Chef. He will be assisted by chefs who will demonstrate and offer individual advice on cooking and flavouring sushi rice, assembling sushi in various styles, as well as cutting and plating techniques. Learn how to prepare your workstation and the seafoods used in sushi and their preparation. At the end the morning you will enjoy the fruits of your labour.

There are spiritual lessons to be learned and refreshing pleasures to be had. The fragile surface of an untrodden beach responds with surprising beauty when you touch it in the right way. And even if it doesn’t, it always forgives and always offers you a clean slate.

Since grating carrots at the age of eight years, kitchen life has become Emilia’s life. As well as being a nature loving, healthy eating, vegetarian foodie, she is also a keen photographer and food stylist.
Cape Malay cuisine has had a major influence on South African food. Its origins can be traced back to cooking pots of exiled dissidents and slaves brought to the Cape in the 17th and 18th century from the Dutch East Indies. Zainie will take you on a virtual tour into the life, food and culture of the Cape Malays in Bo-Kaap while demonstrating an authentic Cape Malay dish and the finer art of folding samoosas. She will also explain the fine art of blending.
Carolyn’s earliest childhood memories are of her grandparents’ wine farm in the Stellenbosch region, especially of her grandmother, Eleanor Finlayson. ‘She taught me so much about wine, cooking and entertaining. From her I learnt the basics of wine and food pairing.’ Today Carolyn is regarded as an expert in the art of wine and food pairing. More recently she has focussed on the role of umami in wine and food pairing. Join her to find out more about this subject.

Davide is the co-founder of Puglia Cheese, artisan producer of the most authentic mozzarella in South Africa. The cheeses are made by hand as was done centuries ago producing cheese such as Burrata. (a filled mozzarella ball, oozing with ripped mozzarella soaked in double cream), a customary stretched mozzarella, the knot-shaped Nodini and a more traditional mozzarella ball, the Fior di latte roughly translated as the ‘Flower of the milk’.
Rudolf uses local exotic ingredients to create an interesting tasting platter. Enjoy a good, simple cooking demonstration with interesting ingredients that include local abalone, alikreukel, guinea fowl, wild rabbit, wild mushrooms and wild local herbs.

So, over four days, there is going to be something a little educational next to the super samples that we will be pouring to taste and appreciate. The idea is to provide those not too familiar with the how and what, with an introduction and guide to the tasting and the joy of wine today. At the same time the presenters will provide a glimpse of just how exciting contemporary South African wine is.
Discovering the Pleasure If you have not experienced the intrinsic delights of our wonderful range of wines, this is your chance with the well-known Master of Wine, Cathy van Zyl. Taste joy.
Venue: The Wine Glass TIckets: R140 / R130 (early bird) - individual sessions R450 - all four mornings R350 - all three afternoons R250 - any one day of two sessions

Price plays Louis D’Ascoyne, the would-be Duke of Chalfont whose mother was spurned by her noble family for marrying an Italian singer for love. D’Ascoyne resolves to avenge his mother by murdering the relatives ahead of him in line for the dukedom, all of whom are played by Guinness.
A distinguished London linguist makes a wager with a colleague that he can transform a working-class girl into an elegant, mannered lady, free of her Cockney accent. When he finds his subject, he turns her into the belle of high-society, but can’t admit to himself that he’s fallen in love with her. Eight Oscars includes Best Picture.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE
(1957), B&W, DRAMA Directed by Sidney Lumet Starring Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb
(2004), Colour, COMEDY Directed by Jared Hess Starring Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, Jon Gries, Aaron Ruell, Tina Majorino
A brilliant film about one man who tries to convince 11 other jurors that their hasty conviction of a boy on trial should be reconsidered - and an open and shut case of murder soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors’ prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. All the action takes place in the jury room. Three Oscar nominations: Best Picture, Direction and Screenplay.
The film is lampoon at its best with interactions of a dysfunctional family: two namby-pamby brothers, a rough and tumble granny and a vainglorious uncle. Napoleon is the central character an overconfident self-assertive nerd. The election for school president is between Summer, the “do everything right” girl, and Pedro, Napoleon’s dim-witted Mexican friend, who has no chance to be elected until Napoleon steps in.

Although shot in California, the film won cinematographer, Gregg Toland, an Oscar for his haunting and evocative depiction of mid-19th century English moors.
