MEC FOR SPORT, RECREATION, ARTS AND CULTURE PROVINCE OF THE EASTERN CAPE “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…” As this year marks the fourth term of the Democratically Elected Government, it is a cause for celebration. It is also a cause for evaluation and renewal. Let us pause a bit, look back, appreciate the good work that we have done and correct where we have made mistakes. We are, therefore, united to celebrate the National Arts Festival in 10 Days of Amazing. This is the culmination of a vast range of mini festivals, exhibitions and celebrations of the arts, signifying the realisation of dreams of many artists, and enthusiasts of Arts & Culture. This festival is a watershed of the endeavours by both government and civil society for increased mass participation, access to facilities and resources by all, development of skills and excellence, as well as preservation and conservation of the rich cultural heritage of the Eastern Cape Province. The department hopes to ensure that its Cultural Industries’ Growth Strategy is fully implemented by helping elevate local artists to become viable and innovative. Also, it provides the artists the opportunity to market themselves amongst other national and international artists and agents. The government of the Eastern Cape is making a meaningful contribution towards promotion of sustainable economic development through arts and culture tourism for Makana Local Municipality and the Eastern Cape as a whole. At Provincial level, the signiﬁcance of the Cultural Industries is expressed in the Provincial Growth and Development Plan, in which the 2010 Soccer World Cup is included. This festival is aimed at showcasing and branding the 2010 festival which is expected to host a big number of the international soccer fans. It is with pride and humility that I extend a warm welcome to all who will be part of the 2009 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. Let us work together so that we achieve the vision of a better life for all. “Xa sisebenza sonke singenza lukhulu”

JACKO MAREE GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE STANDARD BANK GROUP The National Arts Festival, now in its 35th year, continues to play a significant role in the cultural landscape of South Africa. In 2008 we celebrated 25 years of Standard Bank’s sponsorship of this prestigious event. In 2009 we are honoured to continue this celebration with the 25th anniversary of our support of the Young Artist Awards. We are pleased to be able to contribute to the growth and enrichment of South Africa’s artistic heritage, especially through the annual Young Artist Awards as well as the National Youth Jazz Festival which forms a vital part of the Standard Bank Jazz Festival. The partnership formed in 2002 with the Eastern Cape Government is now firmly established and, together with several other main sponsors, we believe that we make an important contribution to this cross-cultural showcase of our country’s artistic talent. As a financial institution we try to position ourselves as being relevant to the societies in which we operate and the arts constitute one of the core pillars of our involvement with communities. The festival has always been a platform for freedom of expression and, in the corporate and financial world, we know that a free society is the best environment for our business to grow. Our appreciation is due to all the people who help to make this festival happen, in particular the citizens of Grahamstown and the Eastern Cape as a whole, for whom this is such an important annual event. We wish you every success.

SIBONGILE KHUMALO

FESTIVAL COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON Welcome to “10 Days of Amazing” at the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown. We have been told that we are officially in a recession, yet you, Festivalgoer, have chosen to be here. Perhaps it’s because you had already made your bookings and would have lost some money if you cancelled and ultimately it wasn’t worth it to do that, or perhaps you are an invited guest and it really has not cost you much to be here, or perhaps this is your first time and you decided you would not be deprived of the experience. Whatever your reason for choosing to be here, we at the National Arts Festival value your patronage. We recognise the vitality and value of the creative essence, and trust that you will be thrilled and enchanted by these 10 Days of Amazing. As a festival we have been striving to deliver on our mission to present excellent, cutting edge work, work that pushes the envelope in whatever creative way the producers of the work deem fit. We don’t censor creative souls, no matter how uncomfortable the work might be to us and others. We do not impose restrictions. And that has brought both the creative people and the audiences back over the years. The Fringe at the Festival remains the hub of this particular approach. In 2009 we have over 400 productions. It is here that we see the inexperienced rub shoulders with the most celebrated, all on the same platform. Above all else, the National Arts Festival remains a platform for celebrating the human spirit. The Festival remains a showcase of the resilience and beauty and of the creative and unbounded side of the human spirit. We salute all the companies that are here, both those returning and those coming for the first time. Continued gratitude to the Festival Committee, the Festival Office, the production and technical teams for ensuring a world class programme and event; our sponsors and media partners, and all our suppliers, without whom we would not be able to mount an event of this magnitude; the Festival Board; and last but not least, you, the festivalgoers, for deciding to use your hard earned cash to support the work on show here. In December 2008 we bade farewell to Lynette Marais. We welcome Ismail Mahomed as Festival Director. We look forward to many years of stimulation and inspiration. Enjoy these 10 Days of Amazing!

AYANDA MJEKULA NATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL CHAIRPERSON It is with great pleasure and a sense of excitement that my Board and I welcome you to this, the 35th National Arts Festival. Presented as “10 Days of Amazing”, the Festival this year has undergone something of a facelift. We are hoping that everywhere you go in town you will see evidence of some of the work and thought that has gone into this rebranding exercise as we constantly look at new ways of packaging this iconic event to do justice to the work of our country’s artists and performers. But that’s just the packaging. When it comes to the substance of the Festival I’m sure you will agree that the programme this year is truly extraordinary. Whatever your personal “amazing” is, I am sure that you will leave town at the end of the Festival with a mind and heart full of great memories. South Africa and the world face uncertain times ahead as we get to grips with one of the worst recessions in our lifetime. It is at times like these that the Arts truly has a major role to play in uplifting and inspiring our society, and we are grateful to all of our sponsors and supporters who continue to have the foresight to invest in the Arts, and who recognise the Festival’s role as one of the primary custodians of the Arts in this country. I would like to take this opportunity of welcoming Justice Albie Sachs to our Board, as well as Louisa Clayton who joins as a representative of the Grahamstown Foundation. I would also like to thank the Board, the Festival Committee, the Audit Committee and the staff for their ongoing commitment to this great event, and for the generous contribution of their time, passion and insight. Have an amazing Festival!

2009 STANDARD BANK YOUNG ARTIST AWARD WINNERS DANCE

THABO RAPOO

For this talented artist, dance is not just an artistic expression. Rapoo sees his engagement in the dance sector as a valuable opportunity to inspire his generation. He has facilitated workshops for emerging choreographers at the FNB Dance Umbrella, as well as for the Gauteng Dance Manyano. Rapoo is driven by a deep passion for South African dance. Whilst he enjoys the accolades of performing on international stages, he is excited about being able to perform to appreciative South Africa audiences in his home country. From dancing in the inner city of Johannesburg, this young man has, through sheer perseverance and an undeniable talent, danced his way into the hearts of national and international audiences. His name will be etched alongside previous winners of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Dance as a continuous reminder to a new generation of artists about the possibilities that can be attained if you are committed, and work hard to achieve your aspirations.

DRAMA

MAIN PROGRAMME

NTSHIENG MOKGORO

Thabo Rapoo is not just a dancer with a dream. He is also a dancer with a mission. For a long time he has been dreaming about wanting to create a piece of work that would give him the opportunity to work with some of his peers. The Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Dance has provided him with the funds that he needed to bring this dream to fruition. This will be a cherished opportunity for Thabo’s colleagues because, although Thabo calls Newtown in Johannesburg his home, he has spent a long time away from his friends studying on an arts and culture scholarship programme in Surakarta, Indonesia, where he studied the traditional dance Prawiroguna. Rapoo’s dance career started when he was 29 years of age at the Johannesburg Dance Foundation. In 2002 he joined the Johannesburg-based company Moving Into Dance Mophatong as an aspirant dancer, becoming a fully-ﬂedged member in 2003. Since then, with Moving into Dance Mophatong, Rapoo has graced the stages of international festivals in Luxembourg, Bolzano, Vienna, Turin, Sweden, Kuopio, Washington, Finland and India. In 2002 he danced solo in Mumbai, Jaipur, Calcutta and Delhi. In 2004, he made his début as a choreographer with the Moving Into Dance production Kgotla, which was performed in Johannesburg, Luxembourg, Bolzano and Vienna. In 2005 he choreographed eMandulo for a Moving Into Dance and Vuyani Dance Theatre joint season, and in 2006 he attended an international choreographers’ workshop in Senegal. In 2007 Rapoo choreographed Time to Dance for the JIM-Jack Arts & Culture Company, and received a Phillip Stein Young Choreographer’s Grant to create a new work for the 2008 FNB Dance Umbrella. The new work Se-Hume Tlokweng, a tribute to his mentor, legendary musician Tlokwe Sehume, garnered Rapoo an award for most promising male dancer in a contemporary style.

Ntshieng Mokgoro is an artist who believes in creating a context for allowing women to share the kind of stories that require a strong courage to tell. She believes that storytelling is a means of healing and a vehicle for recovering hope. Through her stories she wants both artists and audiences to ﬁnd a shared experience that is woven from a texture of reﬂections of their own lives which are a mixture of comedy and tragedy, sham and truth, failure and triumph, joy and sadness. By confronting the human spirit through stories, this 35-year-old mother of three has already made a profound mark on South Africa’s theatre scene, having developed a number of community-based projects into professional productions staged on various national platforms. Mokgoro graduated from Alexandra Technical College in Johannesburg 1992 with a diploma in cosmetology but her career took a turn and she was appointed as an assistant librarian at the Alex San Resource Centre Library. Part of her job description was to present storytelling sessions for primary school children. The attentive following that she received from her child audiences unearthed a new found passion to tell the stories using dramatic effect, and so her career in the arts began to take root.

MAIN PROGRAMME

From observing the lives of people in the township Mokgoro found even more inspiration, but it was a sharpened focus on young girls and elderly women that grabbed her attention the most; and thus began her journey as a writer about myths of women, birth, arranged marriages, and the death of women. She is impressed by the presence, grace and power that women bring to the stage. Much of her success can be attributed to the deep insight with which she writes about their lives. Mokgoro’s production Umdlwembe, which she wrote and directed for the Barney Simon Young Directors Festival, was awarded a professional season at Johannesburg’s Market Theatre in December 1999, and was funded by Standard Bank to play at the 2000 National Arts Festival. Later that year Sello Maake Ka Ncube directed her play, Eyes of Truth, for the Barney Simon Young Writers Festival.

At the age of 15, Naidoo took some lessons with world-class drumming and jazz musician, the late Lulu Gontsana at the National Arts Festival. These lessons continued for two years. In 1995, 1999 and 2000, he was chosen for the National Youth Big Band, with whom he later toured New York. In 1996 Naidoo joined the Hotep Galeta Trio. Galeta, who had a big inﬂuence on Naidoo’s musical style, convinced him to study at the University of Cape Town from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Music, and with a First Class Honours in 2002. At the beginning of the millennium he became the youngest person to win the Samro Overseas Scholarship Competition. Given this opportunity to study abroad, he chose to study under Sitar guru Professor Sanjay Bandophadyah in India. He later completed his master’s degree in tabla and percussion.

In 2004, she was a trainee director for the controversial movie about the Rwandan genocide, Hotel Rwanda. She has also tried her hand successfully at scriptwriting for television and ﬁlm. In 2001 she was a script contributor for Gazlam 1, a drama for SABC 1 that explored the theme of HIV/Aids through the experience of two young people. In 2005, she wrote and directed a residence project Veil of Tears at the Market Theatre Laboratory, which was nominated for a Naledi Award. In 2007 she wrote and directed Thursday’s Child, which won an award at the Market Theatre’s Zwakala Festival and was performed at the Youth Festival in Vienna.

Naidoo has played a wide variety of musical genres over the years, and has performed with many greats such as Miriam Makeba, Selelo Salota, Feya Faku, Bheki Mseleku and Marcus Wyatt. He is current playing with Tribe, Babu, Restless Natives and Closet Snare, all of whom have met with acclaim. In 2006 he started a company called “Silent Revolution Productions” and he now co-owns the Armchair Theatre in Observatory in Cape Town, which has been an established music venue since 1999. Silent Revolution Productions hope to make more people aware of art music in South Africa.

By winning the prestigious Standard Bank Young Artist Award for drama, Ntshieng Mokgoro has afﬁrmed herself as a young leader who is opening new doors for Black women directors in South Africa to be ﬁnally recognised. She is determined to rise to the challenge that this award will position her pivotally to impart knowledge and skills to a growing number of women directors who are still struggling to make a mark, or have their voice heard, in the industry.

Naidoo has a wide range of eclectic musical inﬂuences that range from Charles Lazar, Jojo Mayer and Prince to Rage against the Machine. Drummers who have inspired him include Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Tony Williams, and the drummers who have played for James Brown. Musicians who have inﬂuenced his compositions include Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. His favourite music styles are jazz, electronica and world music.

JAZZ

KESIVAN NAIDOO

Naidoo has also ploughed his experience into developing the future of South Africa’s performing talent by facilitating workshops on performance at many South African universities. This is a young dynamic artist who believes that creative people with new ideas are what is going to make South Africa work. Kesivan Naidoo joins the ranks of past winners of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Jazz, which recognises his unique talent, commitment for excellence and above all his determination to be an artist who is respected for both his artistry and for his contribution to arts development.

MUSIC

JACQUES IMBRAILO

Kesivan Naidoo is a jazz musician who beats more than just his drums. His passion for music is undeniably strong and it is coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit which he believes is necessary for the arts to be able to sustain themselves. Born in East London, Naidoo graduated from Hudson Park High School in 1996. His introduction to drumming, however, can be attributed to the moment that he heard drumming while waiting to be let into his aunt’s house. His aunt’s boyfriend was playing drums over a song on the radio and what he heard excited him so much that it convinced him to become a drummer. Naidoo played his onstage début at the Hogsback Arts Festival in the Eastern Cape in 1994 and shortly after, he began to play for the Hudson Park Jazz Band, as well as the Hudson Concert Band which later toured Germany, France and England.

Jacques Imbrailo is a remarkable South African talent whose baritone voice has been heard on many international shores including Britain, France and the United States. Through passion, commitment and a deep spirituality, Imbrailo’s discipline to work at his art form has earned him, at the age of 30, an international career that most other artists at his age only dream about. Imbrailo grew up on a farm in the Free State. His early passion to sing was nurtured at the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir School. He went on to complete a BA Law degree and a BMus degree at Potchefstroom University, followed by post-graduate opera studies under Ryland Davies at the Royal College of Music in London.

As the winner of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Music, South African audiences at the National Arts Festival are incredibly fortunate to hear this internationally sought-after soloist whose professional career also has bookings for international concerts that extend well into the future with performances in France, Wales, England and the US. Imbrailo currently lives in London with his wife Cara.

VISUAL ART

NICHOLAS HLOBO

In September 2006 he joined the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, making his début as Morales in Bizet’s Carmen in December of the same year. In the subsequent season he performed the roles of Scythian in Iphigénie en Tauride, Demetrius in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Morales in Carmen, the Flemish deputy in Don Carlos and the Wig Maker in Ariadne auf Naxos. He also won the prestigious Audience Prize at the BBC’s Cardiff Singer of the World 2007 event. Nicholas Hlobo has gained an international reputation for his experimental use of materials to “create conversations” around issues of masculinity, gender, race and ethnicity. His materials are strategically chosen, and he often challenges stereotypes of sexual identity through his work.

Whilst Imbrailo’s international career takes ﬂight in strong leaps, it is the knowledge that his parents will be seated in the auditorium when he sings at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown that he ﬁnds truly gratifying. It is this kind of incredible humility which enables Jacques Imbrailo to also remember James Bailieu, Vuyani Mlinde and Pumeza Matshikiza, who are some of the young South African artists with whom he has enjoyed working.

He has an afﬁnity for non-traditional materials, like rubber inner tubes, leather, ribbons, soap and found objects, and he often makes use of his own body in performances in works which explore Xhosa traditions, homosexuality and ‘anything that people ﬁnd embarrassing in society’. His works and performances are distinguished by an unusual clarity of vision and sensitivity to the materials he uses. He also has the rare ability to write lucidly and insightfully about his process of art making.

He has performed extensively in South Africa and England, including lieder recitals and concert programmes. Oratorio performances include Bach’s St John Passion, Handel’s Messiah, Brahms’ Requiem, Fauré’s Requiem and Duruﬂe’s Requiem amongst others. In 2010 he will sing the title role of Billy Budd in Michael Grandage’s new production at the Glyndebourne Festival. As Imbrailo’s baritone voice soars in the music and concert halls of the world, the National Arts Festival salutes him for being a vibrant ambassador who is able to showcase the phenomenal talent and potential of South African artists. He sees his career as an opera singer as an opportunity of living out his faith. “I believe God uses me to do that where I work, and the fact that I am an opera singer is just a way to reach people,” he says. Jacques Imbrailo’s skilled musicianship, committed artistic excellence and strong human values make him a worthy recipient whose name will remain etched alongside previous winners of the prestigious Standard Bank Young Artist Award.

MAIN PROGRAMME

In the 2008/09 season he extended his repertoire, playing Count Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro with conductor Emmanuelle Haïm, Guglielmo in Così fan tutte with Opera Colorado and the Glyndebourne Touring Opera, and Schaunard in La Bohème with the Royal Opera House.

Born in Cape Town in 1975, Hlobo worked as a cement factory labourer for two and a half years before registering to study at the Witwatersrand Technikon, graduating in 2002 with B Tech Fine Arts degree. He ﬁrst began to come to public notice when he was selected by curator Tumelo Mosaka as one of his picks for 10 Years 100 Artists (Bell Roberts Publishing/Struik 2004), and appeared on the Sophie Perryer curated show at Michael Stevenson Contemporary, In the Making (2005). In 2005, Hlobo spent three months in residence at the Thami Mnyele Foundation studios in Amsterdam and in 2006 he was the winner of the Tollman Award for Fine Art. In 2007, he took up a two-month Ampersand Foundation residency in New York. During the same year, Hlobo exhibited Umdodo at the Aardklop National Arts Festival in Potchefstroom and he took Umakadenethwa engenadyasi to the Galeria Extraspazio in Rome and idiom[s] to the Savannah College of Art Design in Georgia, USA. Recent group exhibitions include the Boston ICA as part of the Momentum Series (2008), and his work was included in the third Guangzhou Triennial, China (2008); Flow at the Studio Museum in Harlem (2008); Home Lands/Land Marks at Haunch of Venison, London (2008); za: giovane arte dal Sudafrica at Palazzo delle Papesse, Siena (2008) and Mythologies at Haunch of Venison, London (2009). When asked what led to a decision to make a career in art, Hlobo replied, “It started when I was still young in primary school. We never had art as a subject and I’d be asked to illustrate for my class because I liked drawing”. Hlobo envisions seeing accomplished individuals in the arts sharing their stories and experiences with newer and unfamiliar audiences. In an interview with a journalist in Johannesburg, he commented that “Art should not always be difﬁcult, it should be accessible because that is what freedom is.’ Nicholas Hlobo joins the ranks of innovative South African artists who have previously won the Standard Bank Young Artist Award. His name and his work will be celebrated for its courage. It opens up the kind of conversations that allows us to get into the mind and soul of a visionary young artist.

ACT II In the forest the witches produce a magic scarf from a steaming cauldron. The exhausted James appears, unable to ﬁnd the Sylph. She reappears and is joined by other sylphs. He is momentarily happy, but is never able to hold the Sylph and is suddenly left alone again. In despair, he accepts the magic scarf from the witch, because she tells him that it will bind the Sylph’s love to him forever. When the Sylph returns, he drapes it around her shoulders. Her wings drop off when he kisses her, and she dies. As she is carried into the treetops by her mourning companions, James sees the wedding procession of Gurn and Efﬁe.

Nhlakanipo Cele Sibusiso Gantsa Siyabonga Mhlongo Mxolisi Nkomonde

MAIN PROGRAMME

What does the body do with this ebb and flow of knowledge? What does a collective nation’s memory do with history? With the paradox of the memorial? That we never forget, that we honour and move on, that we lie? Why do the memories reappear in so many violent forms? Projections of drawings from Henry Gray’s classic 1918 publication, Gray’s Anatomy, y a singular mapping of interior spaces, and James Webb’s original music composition based on recordings of the sounds of organs, provide frames within which the body probes possibilities of containment and abandonment. The body is temple and fortress, porous transparency, as well as taut, unrelenting opacity. It reveals as much as it conceals. But ruptures on the skin, the scar tissue and the night sweat all belie an unassailable world trapped under skin that constantly fuses shut even as it is broken. Large-scale projections of cross-sections of bones and tissue form the architecture within which Body of Evidencee unfolds. The body remembers more than through the head. Nerve and vessel, artery and synapse all carry information from point to point suffusing muscle, bone and cell with a plethora of image and sound, a flicker of light, a scream or a touch. Sometimes we wish that a delete button might annihilate some of this information. But the body instead stores relentlessly, file upon file, bottomless cabinets of memory, individual and collective.

Body of Evidence, therefore, ﬂying in the face of such noble attempts to do otherwise as Truth and Reconciliation Hearings, instead considers the enduring and perpetual containment of memories of violence in our bones. That the body trails behind the negotiating, agreeable head, and when it catches up and trips, it lashes out. That while and even as the body dances, its truth is sporadic, available in moments, calciﬁed and submerged in inner recesses at others. And with this knowledge deeply interred in its frame, its bones, it lashes out again and again. And then wonders why.

CARMEN Following her successful presentation of Romeo and Juliet at last year’s National Arts Festival, 2008 Standard Bank Young Artist Award dancer/choreographer Dada Masilo now presents Carmen. Masilo is a creator of contemporary dance, but is always intrigued with referencing other dance techniques. This time it’s Flamenco.

MAIN PROGRAMME

“I began with the idea of unravelling Carmen the woman – to search beneath the surface presented in the ballets and operas – to ﬁnd the vulnerability beneath the cold, heartless exterior ... I searched for Bizet and found Shchedrin, I discovered many existing narratives. Ultimately, I have created a narrative which allows me and the dancers to do what we love most – to dance.” – Dada Masilo CARMEN is presented with support from the National Arts Festival. Phase 1: Unravelling Carmen (30 minutes) was commissioned by the FNB Dance Umbrella 2009 and supported by the National Arts Council.

Philippe Pelen Baldini, from Réunion Island, choreographs and directs this multi-disciplined French theatre production inspired by the ravanne, a large round tambourine-like drum found in all Indian Ocean islands, Eastern Africa, India and Sri Lanka, among other countries. Mâ Ravan’ is written to primarily echo the memory and energy of the ravanne which was used to call the ancestors that stayed “on the other side of the sea”.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Two instruments have maintained the presence of Africa on the islands: the ravanne and the maravan (a type of large rattle half-ﬁlled with dried seeds). The ravanne is the most important instrument in the traditional sega, which originated on La Réunion.

Pelen Baldini,

Mâ Ravan’ is dedicated to the ancestors, the faceless, nameless ones who were taken from their families, wrested from their homelands, sold and bought as cattle in the slave market. It recounts the terrible truth about those slaves, known as the grands Marrons, who dared to make a bid for freedom; it praises them for their great deeds of daring and courage and, most important of all, it names them, one by one. Their names are whispered before the ritual starts and form the ongoing text to the piece. In the sacred space, the ritual is attended by the sacred conch, the sacred herb and the sacred drum, and the stories are told. How the men stood in the marketplace and called out their names, and the names of the men who thought they owned them. How they ﬂed into the mountains and the forests and hid, how they were hunted down and brought back to camp and their hands cut off as an example to others who might also seek their liberty. Choreographer Baldini draws attention to the hands throughout Mâ Ravan’, the beautiful, talented hands that beat the drums, a dance in itself. By naming the names, which have been meticulously researched by various historians both in Réunion and in Mauritius, those whose humanity had been violated and ignored are restored to dignity. ThéâtreTaliipot describes Mâ Ravan’ as “more than a show … it is a dramatic ritual in several stages, multiplying the emotions created”. Deeply inspired by the roots and traditions of the Indian Ocean islands, Théâtre Taliipot’s main focus revolves around the memory of the ancestors and their heritage. The company’s contemporary creations interrogate the notion of identity of the ‘coloured’ by mixing physical theatre, dance, music and traditional tales from the Indian Ocean. Baldini brings years of insight to life together with Thierry Moucazambo, who founded the company 20 years ago in Réunion. The cast hails from Mauritius, Réunion and Madagascar. The company has been bestowed with numerous international awards, particularly for its work towards a culture revolving around peace.

ZEBRA

A new work conceived and created by PJ Sabbagha g in collaboration with and performed by Ivan Estegneev (Russia),, Sergey g Kremnev (Russia), ( ) Ivan Teme ((SA), ) Daniel Mashita (SA) and Songezo Mcilizeli (SA)

MAIN PROGRAMME

This first time South African / Russian collaboration explores the brooding and explosive dynamics and entanglements between five men. Through a language of dance and physical theatre Zebra embarks on a journey that peels away the camouflage of masculine identity and reveals a world of fragile, violent, intimate, territorial and volatile relationships. The work explores our need to need and our need to be needed, our conflicting desires and pursuits for belonging and isolation. Zebra mirrors a male dominated world, which is characterised by short-lived, fractured relationships and irrational interruptions. This is a world in which the overriding desire to dominate and assert power results in a nonsensical relationship between cause and effect. Zebra documents the collaborators’ perceptions and experiences as men as well as reflecting the creative process and the diversity of creative and artistic agendas and ideologies. Zebra reflects the diversity of interactions and the fluid dynamics as they unravelled during the creation of the piece. At no point have we attempted to create a dance work by an “all male dance company”, rather it is a creative exploration by several distinctly individual men. Originally commissioned by the 2009 FNB Dance Umbrella and funded by FNB Dance Umbrella, The National Arts Council of South Africa and The Ford Foundation (Moscow Office).

Threads is a cross-cultural and cross-generational artistic collaboration between legendary choreographer and cultural activist Sylvia ‘Magogo’ Glasser, and Lebo Mashile, one of South Africa’s celebrated young literary voices. Threads explores gender relationships, cultural and artistic identity. Created for MIDM’s 30th anniversary, Threads can be thought of as a verbal dance or a physical poem. Glasser and Mashile’s experience in vastly different ﬁelds and their deep admiration for each other’s work has lead to a unique blend of the imaginative and the real, the young and the mature, the movement of poetry and the language of dance. Mashile created new poems for this collaboration, and three appear in her latest publication Flying above the Sky. “The stage is crisscrossed by strings and rope that echo the title of the work and the dancers weave in and around them. Mashile’s presence on stage, not only as poet but as an integral performer, another moving body, is strong and magnetic … Glasser’s choreography has been enriched through collaboration and the dancers are strong and dramatic, the work is powerful but deeply lyrical”. – Tammy Ballantyne, Business Day “Threads of new artistry wove magic. A new cultural narrative, offering unlimited opportunities of melding poetry, music and dance was created. Artistically appealing, courageously executed, even traditionally non-theatre audiences were left in awe … history in the making”. – Edward Tsumele, The Sowetan

MANIPURI CLASSICAL DANCE Sruti Bandopadhay with a dance and music troupe from India Manipuri Dance can be described as a kite swaying in the sky. It has its varying moods and tempo – sometimes it glides softly and gracefully, and at others it moves with a determined forcefulness and vigour. As the blowing winds sway the kite, Manipuri Dance ﬂows between its varying rhythms charmed by the lilting sounds from small hand-held cymbals and the cracking sounds of Indian drums.

One of the six classical dance styles of India, Manipuri dance dances date back to the time of the ancient scriptures. Originally performed in temples, Manipuri dance is a form of classical Indian dancing which forms an integral part of religious and social ceremonies. The other classical dances are Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, and Orissi, several of which have been presented at the Festival in previous years.

In theme and spirit, and with its flow, grace, ease and fluidity, Manipuri is very different from any other Indian dance style. This is due to an unusual treatment of the body – the vertical line of the body is never broken. There are no sharp shifts or deflections, the body merely curves itself into a figure of eight. There are no sudden transitions from one posture to another; one melts into the other. Even the neck and head execute this figure eight in space. The face is placid without any exaggerated facial expressions. In contrast with other Indian dance forms, Manipuri dance is delicate, lyrical and graceful. It aims to avoid any jerking movements or sharp edges. Even during vigorous movements, the dancers’ feet try not to pound down hard on the ground, as that would interfere with the delicate flow of the dance movements. Unlike other Indian dancers, Manipuri dancers do not wear ankle bells, which generally accentuate the beats tapped out by the feet. The musical accompaniment for Manipuri dance comes from a percussion instrument called the Pung, a singer, small cymbals, a stringed instrument called the Pena and wind instruments such as a flute. The drummers are always males. The legendary poet Rabindranath Tagore popularised the dance and brought it to international attention. Today, Manipuri Dance has become a ruling passion and an aesthetic obsession for initiated artists and spectators alike because of its colourful adornment, lightness of dancing footwork, lilting music and its poetic charm. With the support of the government and local bodies, this art form has grown considerably and has adopted modern techniques to adapt to the many different kinds of stages where it is performed. Heading the presentation at the National Arts Festival is Dr Sruti Bandopadhay, India’s leading exponent of this dance form and an eminent academic. She serves as Director of the Centre for Studies and Research on Modern Dance at Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkota.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Revered as the one of the most beautiful dance styles of India, Manipuri dance is nurtured in India’s mountainous northeast region. The dance takes its name from the name of the state, Manipur, which literally means a jewel of a land. The legend goes that the gods drained a lake in the beautiful countryside in order to ﬁnd a place to dance. It is no wonder, then, that dance in this part of India is an inherent part of the rituals of daily life, such as weddings and homage to ancestors. It is a form of artistic expression steeped in a rich spiritual experience. According to Manipuri legend, the dance is a medium of worship and enjoyment and a door to the divine.

In its present form, Manipuri classical dance is comparatively free and spontaneous, apparently easy and ﬂowing. But when viewed closely, it is a manifestation of a deeply ritualistic tradition combined with a vitality that is reﬂected only in an art form that is shared by a community at large.

The Department of Arts and Culture, Eastern Cape presents

THE EASTERN CAPE CULTURAL ENSEMBLE Treasures from the diverse indigenous cultures of the province are interwoven in this medley of story-telling, song and dance. We travel on a journey from the Tsitsikamma Valley, home of the Khoisan hunters, over the Hankey Mountains of Sarah Baartman fame. Here we experience the ancient traditional ‘trance dances’. The movements are animal-like, sometimes gentle and timid, at other times ﬁerce and spirited. These dances were mainly performed around a ﬁre or around a sick person to evoke the spirits of healing.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Descending the mountains we find the Eastern Tembu Umngqungqo Dance common in the Queenstown and Lady Frere areas. Music played on traditional instruments accompanies the dance of the dignified, joyous, and colourfully dressed elderly Mamfengu women. The elderly men wielding their sticks follow this celebratory dance, with its vibrant body movements, which always proves a pleasing sight to the women folk! Then on to the Kwa-Bomvana Tribe in the valleys of Elliotdale and Mqaunduli, home of the ‘red blankets’, where we find young boys wielding axes in an authentic traditional dance associated with war. Young girls with wonderful singing voices join them for the popular Umtshotsho – the ‘disco dance’ of past years, which is a special social activity enjoyed by this age group in the area.

DANCE GUY BUTLER THEATRE MONUMENT THURSDAY 9 JULY FRIDAY 10 JULY DURATION:

19:00 11:00 & 15:00 1 hour 10 minutes

In Mount Frere and Mount Fletcher we discover the Indlam Dance, performed by elderly women of the AmaBhaca, with its stamping of feet and rhythmic movement accompanied by young men with their war dance when returning home from the initiation schools in the mountains. Traditional healers, Amagqira (Masizake) from the Tsolo district, who practise both spiritual and medical healing, perform traditional healers’ dances. This group are genuine healers who have travelled widely exchanging their philosophy and knowledge of herbs and traditional medicine with people of many different cultures. We then meet the Basotho people on the hills and mountains of Sterkspruit and Maluti with their fascinating dance performed by women that centres their movement around the neck and shoulders. A traditional orchestra accompanies the dances and the musical instruments include the Uhadi (African harp), Umrubhe (African Violin), the Kudu horn, and a range of African drums and improvised percussion instruments.

Olive Tree Production Company presents

THE OLIVE TREE Written and directed by Ntshieng Mokgoro

2009 Standard Bank Young Artist for Drama

MAIN PROGRAMME

Ntshieng Mokgoro has been writing plays for as long as she can remember, not only because it is inescapable, but also to talk about ordinary and mythic women, about the fragmentation of their lives and the need for domestic continuity, about searching for a language in which to speak, and about rituals of birth and death. Through theatre she tries to heal a terrible damage that women have suffered and have passed on to each other generation after generation. At the same time she strives to rediscover evidence of a ﬁne and rich culture with which to portray the journey and which, hopefully, will sustain us into the future.

Mentor Director Choreographer Lighting Designer Set & Costume Designer Stage Manager Production Manager Stage Manager Cast

So The Olive Tree is a tale of female spiritual damage and rebirth. Told through story, image, poetry and song, and the beauty of indigenous ritual and culture, the play is ﬁrmly rooted in present day South African reality. It is also fed by the evidence of Ntshieng Mokgoro’s own environment and those of the female actors she is working with. The process of telling this story is a collaborative creation which Ntshieng hopes will be a collective sigh of relief for those who participate as artists and audience.

I AM MY OWN WIFE Written by Doug Wright

. Directed by Janice Honeyman . Starring Jeremy Crutchley

Doug Wright’s 2004 Pulitzer prize-winning drama about the will to survive, I Am My Own Wife, will make its South African première when it opens at the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown. Janice Honeyman directs Jeremy Crutchley, who plays 40 different characters as he slips into the heart and mind of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite caught up in the great European dramas of the 20th century and the subject of author Doug Wright’s fascination.

MAIN PROGRAMME

In a performance bound to be described as nothing short of alchemy the play offers insights into von Mahlsdorf’s perspectives and tells the amazing story of a mild-mannered human being who triumphed over a violent childhood and the brutalities of both the Nazis and the Communists to carve out a dignified life as an open cross-dresser in East Berlin at the time. The multi-award-winning one-hander could not have been more appropriately timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Unlike so many of his contemporaries von Mahlsdorf, who was born Lothar Berfelde and who died in 2002 at the age of 74, survived the Nazi regime and its replacement, the Soviet-dominated communist dictatorship. On Broadway the play scooped two Tony Awards, the Drama Desk Awards and the Lucille Lortel Awards, and went on to receive several others. The New York Times described it as “Nothing short of breathtaking. A terrific story,” with “A play of heart-stopping beauty” from The Journal News and “A rich, riveting and thrilling mystery” from Newsday while The Washington Post cautioned,” Don’t even think of missing it” and the Wall Street Journal said, “The show deserves every prize there is.“ It has been performed throughout the United States of America and Canada (where it was also translated and performed in French in Montreal), the West End, Sweden, Poland, Ireland and Australia. Doug Wright, who has garnered several accolades and awards for his writing, made his screenplay début when he adapted his hugely successful play Quills for the big screen. Starring Geoffrey Rush, Michael Caine and Kate Winslet the film received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. Some of his other plays include The Stonewater Rapture, Interrogating the Nude, Watbanland, Buzzsaw Berkeley and Unwrap Your Candy. This year Jeremy Crutchley, who has received eight Best Actor awards and been nominated for several, celebrates 30 years in theatre. He was last seen at the Baxter Theatre in the highly acclaimed The Tempest, directed by Janice Honeyman, which transferred to Stratford-upon-Avon and toured five cities in the UK.

THE RETURN Written by Fatima Dike Directed by Roy Sargeant

A project of the Artscape new Writing Programme Seasoned director Roy Sargeant crafts an intimate production to compliment Fatima Dike’s use of the classic ‘fish-out-of-water’ (Isis and, to a lesser extent, Buntu) technique to fashion a play. A play that is as relevant in South Africa and internationally as any play could be, while at the same time not resorting to political tub-thumping or whiffs of stale agitprop theatre. The traditions that are explored in The Return is of considerable interest to visitors to South Africa, as they are to South Africans who are not black and who have never ‘bothered’ to find out about those traditions and/ or have dismissed them, in ignorance, as Isis does in the play, as ‘too primitive, my dear’. The Return is set in the Somdaka home in Langa, Cape Town’s oldest black township. Buntu Somdaka returns to South Africa and his parents, Tata and Mama, after eighteen years of exile and then working in the United States. With him he brings his African-American wife, Isis. Young, high-powered professionals, Buntu and Isis discover there is a lot of unfinished business awaiting them. Traditional African value systems do not sit well with an empowered younger generation. Two generations struggle to reconcile amidst things unspoken to do with Buntu’s older brother, now dead. Did he die a hero of the struggle against apartheid?

Fatima Dike’s astute writing and Roy Sargeant’s inventive directing of The Return unveils a text that is shot through with a fresh, ironic sense of humour, which will appeal to a broad spectrum of audience members. Fatima Dike’s lenses offer a fresh view which allows the audience to see how the politics of the past have disempowered an older generation and how a younger generation is driven by the need for power and wealth. Whilst Dike unravels layers of this family dilemma, her insightful writing evokes a passionate urge that makes us understand why it is so important for opposing sides to talk and create a better and balanced society that will safeguard its value systems for future generations. The talented cast immerse themselves in the emotional landscape of the play to resonate the passionate and deep sensitivity of Dike’s writing in a play that concludes with hope and a happy ending.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Fatima Dike has the distinction of being South Africa’s first published Black female playwright. Twenty years after accomplishing this milestone in her illustrious writing career, her most recent play, The Return, is an articulate interrogation of two generations of the same family. Dike crafts a clever plot in which a younger generation which has been deeply influenced by having lived in the US and has absorbed Western values and culture has to come face to face with an older generation which keeps close contact with the traditions, values and culture of the Xhosa people. When the Somdaka son returns with his US-born wife for the first time in eighteen years to the family home in Langa, both he and Isis, his wife, have to cope with the traditions of Africa. Can they come up to speed quickly?

WIT MAIN PROGRAMME

Directed by Steven Stead with Clare Mortimer as Vivian Bearing, Ph.D.

Margaret Edson’s play Wit is that rare beast: art that engages both the heart and the mind. “It is not my intention to give away the plot,” Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., announces near the beginning of the play, “but I think I die at the end. They’ve given me less than two hours.” Vivian has late-stage ovarian cancer. But to say that Wit is about cancer is misleading; it is really about ﬁnding a balance between head and heart.

The play isn’t a tearful lecture on how to die; it’s a dry-eyed lesson on how to live. It is a play about language and ideas, philosophy and religion. It is at once funny, sad, tragic and life afﬁrming, complex and simple. The New York Times critic called Wit, “the kind of theatrical experience of which legends are made.”

MAIN PROGRAMME

Fred Khumalo’s (author and Sunday Times columnist) novel Touch My Blood provides a fascinating journey into an extraordinary life of gangsters and political upheavals. It’s a compelling tale that is at turns hilarious, witty and full of pathos. “Touch my blood” was the greeting used by young men who called themselves “The Dudes” – hangovers from Sophiatown and the American-inﬂuenced gangsters who were the icons of that time. This is a tale of a young man growing up in Hammersdale Township, just outside Durban. Through him we are taken back to the vibrant eighties – when every young man worth his salt had the afro, the bell-bottomed trousers and platform shoes that went alongside a time of fear and madness, and the division (both political and racial) that shook that part of Durban. “Touch My Blood allows you to heal; it rewinds the tape, allowing you to witness some of what happened in South Africa. You’re not only left with anger, but shake your head and laugh.” – James Ncgobo

Gare St Lazare Players Ireland presents

Conor Lovett in Samuel Beckett’s

FIRST LOVE Directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett

Samuel Beckett reinvented the 20th century drama and literature. As Waiting for Godot heralded a new way of looking at the stage the great trilogy of novels, Molly, Maloney Dies and The Unnamable, forced us to reconsider the novel. Today, Beckett’s inﬂuence is apparent across theatre, cinema, music, art and literature. Harold Pinter, Anthony Minghella, Van Morrison, Laurie Anderson and Paul Auster have all cited Beckett’s inﬂuence.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Gare St Lazare Players Ireland have dedicated over 10 years to presenting Beckett’s prose work for a live audience. With a fresh and light approach they reveal an accessible and humorous Beckett while retaining the integrity, profundity and, above all, the poignancy of the work. International demand for Gare St Lazare has already seen them perform in 17 countries worldwide. One of Samuel Beckett’s earliest post-war novellas, First Love contains much of his distinctive black humour and a plot that is regarded as a masterpiece of Beckettian perversity. A young man, expelled from the family home, takes refuge on a bench by a canal. There he meets a woman who takes him home, with comically disastrous consequences.

First Love is presented at the National Arts Festival with support from Culture Ireland.

IAGO’S LAST DANCE Written by Mike van Graan . Directed by Lara Bye

Cast: Mbulelo Grootboom, Jan-Hendrik Opperman & Ntombi Makhutshi

Three actors. Three stories. Three styles. Numerous emotions. Inspired by three letters. HIV. About the Writer Mike van Graan is the Executive Director of the African Arts Institute and serves as the Head of the Secretariat of the Arterial Network, a continent-wide network of individuals, NGOs and companies engaged in the African creative sector. He is also the Programme Director for the Fourth World Summit on Arts and Culture to be hosted in Johannesburg in September 2009.

MAIN PROGRAMME

He has won numerous awards for his plays, most recently, the Fleur du Cap Theatre Award for Best New South African script for Die Generaal. In addition to Bafana Republic 3: Penalty Shootout and Iago’s Last Dance. His latest play Brothers in Blood premièred at the Market Theatre during June.

Othello. Medea. Lear. Tragedies all. Fatal ﬂaws, with fatal consequences. But this is the stuff of literature. What of our own tragedies? In which our modern-day Iagos play no small part? It is easy to recognise genocide when it is clothed in army uniforms, wide-eyed megalomania and blood-soaked, blunt weapons. But less so when it dresses itself in Armani suits, smokes a genteel pipe and spouts poetry. And yet, what is it when a thousand mothers, fathers, sisters, children die each day – decades prematurely – because they are denied access to life-saving drugs? AIDS. Our quiet genocide of shameful neglect and political pig-headedness. Iago’s Last Dance has evolved from a single drama into a trilogy of playlets, Heatbreak Medea, Iago’s Last Dance and Vuyo’s Vengeance, a symbol of the manifold themes and sheer magnitude of human dramas played out against the backdrop of a rampant plague, facilitated by thoroughly naked emperors.

A play with music

DO YOU KNOW BILLIE HOLIDAY? Written and directed by Nigel Vermaas Musical Direction by Michele Maxwell Designed by Dicky Longhurst Lighting designed by Daniel Galloway Michele Maxwell (Ellen) Mwenya Kabwe (Billie) The play is set in the USA In THE PRESENT (the 1960’s): Washington D.C. In THE PAST (1947-1948): a women’s reformatory in West Virginia and a dressing room in a Philadelphia nightclub. Note from the Writer and Director Do You Know Billie Holiday? marks the 50th anniversary of the death, on 17 July 1959, of Billie Holiday, who many consider the world’s greatest jazz singer. Her artistic success was achieved both because of – and despite – her social and personal challenges.

Nigel Vermaas is currently a radio drama director and writer, arts and jazz presenter and documentary maker. He also gives radio and theatre writing workshops. He has won numerous awards for radio, as both drama director and writer, and also as documentary maker. His original play The Day of the Trolleys won three awards, and he has adapted many masterworks for radio including Hamlet, Death of a Salesman and plays by Athol Fugard. From 1997 he specialised in jazz documentaries and features for SAfm, including a documentary on Billie Holiday. Before he joined the SABC in 1987, he worked for 18 years as an actor/director/writer in the theatre, television and radio, mainly in Johannesburg. He directed and acted for various performing arts councils, the Market Theatre and other theatre companies. Productions included The State Theatre Overﬂow Show (a revue), The Night of the Long Wake by Dakuza kaMacu, Spike Milligan’s The Bed-Sitting Room, and The Spare Room by Geraldine Aron.

MAIN PROGRAMME

The events in the Women’s Reformatory in 1947-1948 are based on fact, although I have, of course, taken some dramatic licence. All other events portrayed or described by the character of Ellen are entirely ﬁctitious. – Nigel Vermaas Michele Maxwell has been a highly acclaimed versatile actress and musician since the early 1970s. Her name is synonymous with the formative years of the Space, Baxter and Market theatres. In 1981, she relocated to London, after a co-created Music / Theatre production (Boogie Woogie!) was accepted by the Edinburgh Festival, subsequently transferring to the West End, which led to several appearances for B.B.C. Television. She also was in the Poppie Nongena Company that played at the Donmar Warehouse, before touring to Australia and Canada. In South Africa she has had leading roles in The Cherry Orchard, Major Barbara, Cowboy Mouth, Steel Magnolias and Death of a Salesman.

SOMETHING DARK

Written and performed by Lemn Sissay

A triumph * * * * * – The Scotsman The sheer intimacy of poet Lemn Sissay’s performance underpins the power of this monologue – The Stage

Lemn Sissay is the author of ﬁve collections of poetry: Tender Fingers in a Clenched Fist (Bogle L’Ouverture), Rebel Without Applause, Morning Breaks in the Elevator (Canongate), The Emperor’s Watchmaker (Bloomsbury) and Listener (Canongate). Also with Canongate he is the editor of The Fire People: A Collection of Contemporary Black British Poets. His poems have been the inspiration for a BBC Concerto at The BBC Proms with solo by virtuoso violinist Viktoria Muldova and one of his poem can be found on Brit award nominated album ‘Leftism’. In Manchester his poems have become landmarks which adorn the walls and streets of the city.

He seems illuminated from within, gives an adrenaline-fuelled performance. The actor’s glorious smile and his ﬂair for turning personal struggle into stand-up and poetry is effortlessly entertaining. – The Guardian Unlimited

Originally produced and commissioned by Apples and Snakes and Contact Theatre in association with the British Arts Council (BAC)

A big-hearted pleasure – Time Out (critics choice)

Presented at the National Arts Festival with the kind support of the British Council and Artsadmin (U.K.)

Something Dark is a journey through Lemn Sissay’s incredible life, driven by his two hundred words a minute delivery and shot through with the beautiful and powerful lyricism he’s renowned for.

MAIN PROGRAMME

“I was born in 1967 just months before Enoch Powell made the rivers of blood speech and the assassination of Martin Luther King happened. I was fostered by English foster parents on the basis that I was a message from their God and would go back to Africa as a missionary to save African babies. My name (not the name on my birth certiﬁcate) was illegally changed to Norman Mark Greenwood. It was felt this name would be better for me. The name “Norman” was the name of the social worker (he’d named me after himself.) Mark was the name of Mark from the Bible, and Greenwood was the foster parents’ second name. The foster parents experiment didn’t work. I was put back into care at 11 years old where I was held until I was eighteen. At eighteen years old I was given a birth certiﬁcate and told that my name was not in fact Norman Mark Greenwood. I was given letters from my mother to the social worker whose name was Norman pleading to get me back. He had not told her he had changed my name, nor had he told her that though she had approached him for short-term fostering, he had no intention of giving me back to her.” Something Dark takes the audience on Lemn’s emotional journey from his traumatic beginnings through the adventures of tracing his family to a place of some kind of reconciliation.

THE FAMISHED ROAD Based on the award-winning novel and the writings of Ben Okri

Directed by Helen Iskander Designed by Lisa Younger Production and Directing Assistant Prince Lamla

MAIN PROGRAMME

Performed By Mncedisi Shabangu Tinah Mnumzana Thembi Ntuli Labella Dani James Cuningham Alfred Kunutsor Zoey Lapinsky Lindiwe Matshikiza Based on the Booker Prize-winning novel and trilogy by Ben Okri, The Famished Road tells the story of Azaro, a spirit child, “an unwilling adventurer into chaos and sunlight, into the dreams of the living and the dead”. Director’s note Ever since I first read Ben Okri’s The Famished Road, I’ve been enchanted with it and fascinated with the possibility of telling the story on stage. The book is unstageable and Okri’s imagination is infinite, but the messages within the story are what make this challenge so worthwhile. Our aim is to create a platform for the audience’s imagination, influenced by Okri’s words, in a way that does not speak singularly of any one human society. Ultimately it is Azaro’s choice to stay on earth despite the harsh reality that makes it a story of love and sacrifice. Being a spirit-child, Azaro is different, but he also represents all children’s ability to see things that adults can’t and to love in a way that adults have forgotten. Special thanks to Alison Green, Dominika Jablonska, Patterson Park Recreation Cente, The Marsh Agency, Ben Okri, Ismail Mohamed and The National Arts Festival and Aardlop Nasionale Kunstefees.

UMTSHOTSHO Nicholas Hlobo

2009 Standard Bank Young Artist for Visual Art

MAIN PROGRAMME

Nicholas Hlobo presents a major new sculptural installation in his solo exhibition, Umtshotsho. Hlobo draws strongly on his Xhosa heritage in his work, invoking the rich idioms of the Xhosa language and exploring how traditions evolve in changing times. Of equal interest to Hlobo are his own sexual identity, and his place as a gay man within Xhosa culture. Where his previous shows have looked at ideas surrounding birth and sex, in this exhibition Hlobo takes as his theme the rituals that accompany the transition from youth to adulthood. As Hlobo explains, the term ‘umtshotsho’ refers to a traditional party for young people. “The focus is on that time when children are beginning to think and act like adults; the desire to explore life, dating, going out at night and all the consequences of wanting to do things older people do. Umtshotsho rarely takes place in its old form any more and young people have found alternatives such as going to bars and clubs. The works are not trying to tell a story about an old way of partying for teenagers but look at the new conventions and draw similarities between different times.” In a darkened room the central installation, Izithunzi (meaning ‘shadows’) comprises a gathering of eight figures resembling jellyfish, pumpkins or ghosts. Some are freestanding, others suspended or seated on a sofa. Constructed primarily from rubber inner tubing, the figures are individuated with details of lace, organza and ribbons – Hlobo’s signature materials. Casting a red glow on the group – and perhaps a playful warning – a reupholstered lamp stands on a table covered with rubber to resemble a sack or a scrotum. Born in Cape Town in 1975 and based in Johannesburg, Hlobo graduated from the Wits Technikon with a BTech degree in 2002. His first solo show, Izele, took place at Michael Stevenson, Cape Town, in 2006. In 2008 Hlobo had solo exhibitions in the Level 2 Gallery at Tate Modern, London, and at the ICA in Boston, Massachusetts. Recent group shows include Beauty and Pleasure in South African Contemporary Art at the Stenersen Museum in Oslo; the third Guangzhou Triennial in China; Flow at the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; and Home Lands/Land Marks at Haunch of Venison gallery in London.

Bronwen Findlay

matter and treasure and paint Curated by Mpho Monama with Julia Charlton

MAIN PROGRAMME

Findlay’s life-long love affair with paint and its endless possibilities of manipulation are reflected in this new body of work. They combine arbitrary and personal objects; a fascination with metallic colours; the play between expansive fields and pinpoint details and challenges ideas about significance and value. matter and treasure and paint comprises three vast and many small canvases. The large works are made of oil paint with objects such as daffodils, a beaded walking stick and a lace collar embedded in their surface. In Findlay’s words, A field of flowers is “about matter and decay and preservation”, the objects in Belongings are “things I have not thrown away” and the canvas is “a site where things are unearthed and buried”. The surface of Copper and Lace became “covered with lace-like filigree that changes depending on the changing light”. The work presents a powerful argument for the painting’s ongoing capacity to engage, provoke and delight.

Since 1984 these awards have been sponsored by the Standard Bank of South Africa making this 25 years of committed recognition and support to the extraordinary talents, which abound in South Africa. In 1999 the 25th anniversary of the National Arts Festival no awards were made. This anniversary exhibition reviews the work of visual artists who have joined the exclusive club of awardees. Many of them have become leaders in the art world since their moment of fame in Grahamstown. The work on show invites the imagination to walk through a quarter of a century of aesthetic innovation and inspired patronage.

EASTERN CAPE ART EXHIBITION Presented by the Eastern Cape Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture

MAIN PROGRAMME

This dynamic ‘annual report’ on the state of visual art in the province has become an important feature of the Festival programme. This year, the aim is to stimulate the dialogue between visual art and craft – the one being conceptual, the other sometimes more decorative and functional. By juxtaposing them in the same space, the curation of the exhibition privileges so-called art and so-called craft equally. The boundaries are blurred between painting and beadwork, between lines drawn in pencil and lines drawn with wire, and festivalgoers are invited to re-assess orthodox value systems. Traditional and contemporary skills will be demonstrated side by side. Grass and wool weavers, bead workers, wireworkers and designers will interact with the public, as will painters, graphic artists and print-makers. Participants have been selected from the length and breadth of the Eastern Cape. There is a strong emphasis on mentoring and providing access to the mainstream for art and craft makers from the remoter areas.

MAIN PROGRAMME

South Africa has a long and rich history in documentary photography. Historically the medium provided a representational document with the ﬁxed referent of reality. For this exhibition the curators wanted to uncover photographers working in and through the medium in an innovative way.

This exhibition can be read as an installation designed to unlock the dialogues between the different works. At each venue a different installation allowed for a fresh perspective.

The exhibition received ﬁnancial support from the National Arts Council

Each artist featured contributes a unique visual vocabulary. They challenge the traditional stereotype of photography by pushing the shifting boundaries of the medium. Works selected for this exhibition needed to enquire into notions of construction, deconstruction and/or reconstruction. Self-representation is an often-featured subject matter. Lien Botha, Nomusa Makhubu, Jennifer Lovemore-Reed and Jacque Coetzer feature themselves literally, whilst Abrie Fourie and Berni Searle use metaphor to reference personal identity. Some of the artists in the exhibition capitalise on the medium’s ability to collapse time and place; this is illustrated most clearly in the works by Dale Yudelman, Barbara Wildenboer, Jacques Coetzer and Lien Botha.

RISE UP! PHOTOGRAPHS BY GILLE RUTH DE VLIEG

MAIN PROGRAMME

Curated by Carol Brown and Jenney Stratton in collaboration with the Durban Art Gallery

In 2007 the Durban Art Gallery purchased a photograph titled Bishop Tutu at mass funeral Kwa Thema, Ekurhukeni 24th July 1985. This work bears a uncanny likeness to a work done 444 years ago in a completely different medium; oil on canvas by Italian artist Jacobo Tintoretto who rendered his work Cruciﬁxion for the Scuola di S. Rocco in his typical dramatic mannerist style. It is no coincidence both works speak of funerals, of sorrow, emotion, histories, and of social processes. South Africa during the eighties was under pressure with increasingly active and militant resistance campaigns. The government reacted with states of emergency calculated to exert its repressive rule. It is against this background that Gille de Vlieg, who had joined the Black Sash movement, took up the camera as a way of recording events. It was while working at the Black Sash ofﬁces at Khotso House in Johannesburg that De Vlieg claims to have recognised that she “could be both an ‘activist’ and a ‘photographer’”. In 1984 she was invited by Paul Weinberg to join Afrapix and became involved with documentary photography in rural and urban areas. During the same year, she was further encouraged to use photography as a tool of protest when she was introduced by a Tembisa COSAS organiser to the life of a chaotic township.

09:00 – 18:00

De Vlieg’s images have been published in newspapers, magazines and books nationally and internationally, from Vukhani Makhozikazi (1985) and Beyond the Barricades (1989) to Women by Women: 50 Years of Women’s Photography in South Africa (2006). They also formed part of the Afrapix monthly packages sent to various European organisations to support their ﬁght against Apartheid. Her work has been part of collective exhibitions such as People’s Portraits (SA National Gallery (1985), Radda Barnen (Sweden 1989), Malibongwe (Netherlands 1990) and others. This exhibition is a survey of her work during the apartheid years and premières at the National Arts Festival prior to its showing at the Durban Art Gallery during Heritage Month celebrations in September. Largescale outdoor images will be placed in different areas in Grahamstown in keeping with the photographer’s involvement in Resistance Art, which happened mainly in the streets and not in ofﬁcial spaces.

TRANSITIONS An exhibition by Paul Emmanuel “… a project with conceptual weight and visual poetry” – William Kentridge “… he provokes his audience to consider what it means to be human” – Professor Penny Siopsis

The Transitions exhibition creates, through a poignant visual and aural experience for the viewer, a contemplative space to meditate on transitory life stages. It aims to stimulate thoughts on patriarchy and poses questions around perceptions of masculinity, the passage of time and the human condition.

Transitions comprises a series of five ostensibly ‘photographic’ works which, when examined closely, are revealed as sensitive hand-drawn, photo-realist sequences of images. These film-like progressions obsessively capture liminal moments of five transitory stages in life. A sixth work titled 3 SAI A Rite of Passage – a 12-minute film produced by the artist – documents the head shaving of new recruits at the Third South African Infantry Battalion (3SAI) in Kimberley. The film extends the content of the second of the five drawings. The remaining four drawings individually explore liminal experiences within a society and how these resonate with the artist. Unidentifiable men subjected to a transition of identity through different processes and in different contexts – the “ritualistic” stripping of one identity and the other apparent unresisting acceptance of another identity. These societal markers have particular relevance and meaning to the artist as a young, white, gay South African male. The production of this body of work is a love affair with concept and surface.

Artistic Statement In late 2004 I was exploring how the military influenced and perpetuated notions of masculinity in South Africa. One morning, while thinking about moments of change, I decided to photograph an actual military recruit head shaving while it was happening – to witness to an unfolding drama. After some research, I discovered that there were only two remaining military bases in South Africa which still perform this obligatory ‘rite of passage’ on their premises, one in Oudtshoorn and the other, Third South African Infantry Battalion (3SAI) in Kimberley. I phoned the Kimberley base, spoke to the Officer-in-Command and arranged a visit to photograph head shavings from the January 2005 intake. I remember feeling apprehensive of what I would find. I did not do military service. I only had references to military experiences told to me by my brother and friends, who described their head shaving experiences of the apartheid military regime of the 1980s – their stories of feeling dehumanised, lots of shouting, indifference, bigotry and fear.

Instead, I found a very different setting … quiet lawns with well-tended beds full of roses. Lines of recruits waiting patiently. No shouting. No authoritarianism. No evidence of the violent breaking down of the human spirit. Compared with the horror stories related to South Africa’s past, the equanimity of the scene was arresting. I was spellbound. These liminal moments of transition, when a young man either voluntarily – or is forced to – let go of one identity and take on a new identity as State Property with an assigned Force Number, prompted me to ask many questions: What was I actually witnessing? What is a “Rite of Passage” and how have similar “rituals” helped to form and perpetuate identities and belief systems throughout history? Why was I so powerfully drawn to and transﬁxed by these dramatic spectacles of subtle change and moments of suspended possibility and impossibility? And so began an intensely reﬂexive outward and inward journey, in and beyond my studio, which was to last four long years … Paul Emmanuel 2008

A personal interrogation about the “Rite of Passage” and how similar rituals form and perpetuate identities throughout history are questions that started artist Paul Emmanuel on a four-year meditation that culminated in this exhibition.

EASTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL CRAFT FAIR 2009 Transnet Village Green, Great Field Rhodes The Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture is emphasising well-designed, good quality products that are unique to each District within the province. Through the selection process that happens in each District, the strengths and different styles that have developed in speciďŹ c areas becomes evident. The products are clustered according to predominant expressions of craft in the Eastern Cape. The Department has selected the following media in craft from across the province, which is broadly divided into traditional and contemporary forms of craft:; ceramics, grass weaving, attire and beadwork, leather, wirework, wood and decor.

The function of the craft hubs is to promote and develop craft producers in each district. One of their key roles is to develop quality through design intervention, and to market the products locally, nationally and internationally. The hubs can produce craft for conferences and other occasions, by sourcing relevant crafters to produce unique items. The craft hubs will market themselves in the craft tent. Demonstrations in the craft forms mentioned above are scheduled take place every morning and afternoon in the Eastern Cape Craft Tent and the public are welcome to attend these vibrant demonstrations.

MAIN PROGRAMME

An analysis of the province reveals that traditional attire and beadwork is the strength of the O.R. Tambo District, and it also excels in traditional woodcarving and grass weaving. The Amathole District is also very strong in traditional attire and beadwork but the crafters have also developed a more contemporary expression in their products. There is also a unique group of contemporary ceramicists, printmakers and painters who are emerging from the tertiary institutions. Fashion designers are gaining momentum and recognition in this district. Wool weaving is more popular in places closer to sheep farming such as Ukhahlamba, Cacudu and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan districts. The latter district has produced excellent ceramicists and fashion designers. The Alfred Nzo district has developed a unique and excellent style of beadwork and attire in the past few years, and the Chris Hani District excels in wirework, embroidery and wool weaving. Over the past few years the Department has explored the process of mentoring and demonstration during the provincial craft showcases. Each year a designer and curator, plus 14 craft producers are selected to design, manage, curate and interact with their customers, as well as selling the products for the full duration of the National Arts Festival. More experienced craft producers work alongside less experienced craft producers in the real context of the National Arts Festival and they compete with crafters from all over South Africa.

Grass Weaver Mr Tsepang

The Department is in the process of establishing craft hubs in the province, and they play a key role in the craft industry of the Eastern Cape. Two craft hubs are operational, in Mthatha and Dimbaza, and a third in Queenstown is on the brink of becoming operational.

Third World Bunﬁght presents

BLOO BLOOD O DIAMONDS Created by Brett Bailey

Artistic statement by Brett Bailey “I’ve always regarded Grahamstown and its dusty, one-sided history with a rather jaundiced eye. Somehow, in the popular consciousness of white South Africa, the 1820 Settlers – imported from Britain to provide a colonizing buffer between the amaXhosa and the Cape Colony – have managed to retain a butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-the-mouth innocence. As if they were any less rapacious, opportunistic, violent and bigoted than the other ‘civilizers’ that have used blades, bibles and brute arrogance to shatter the despised societies and cultures of indigenes, to annex their land, and to enrich themselves off the fragments. As if they had little to do with the history that has fouled up our country. So much broken, so much lost. So many consequences to deal with…

And barely the twain shall meet. Forever ’Frontier Country‘. Forever crouching on the great bloody fault line that divides Colony and Africa, Savage and Civilised. The city starkly illustrates an elemental fracture in the South African soul.

“In Grahamstown the faces of black poverty and white wealth, African illiteracy and Western Enlightenment, gaze forbiddingly at each other from opposing banks of a stinking stream as they have done for close on 200 years.

“This is not a play. There is no drama here. No beginning/middle/end. The piece has been made in collaboration with several artists, citizens and festival guests over a few days leading up to the Festival.”

MAIN PROGRAMME

“The Grahamstown Railway Terminal was built in 1878 on this boundary line between Us and Them. It sits directly below the Settler cemetery – an inter-zone between Here and There. The last train pulled out of the station in February 2009, and the empty platforms of this dead end, like the vandalized graves nearby, are haunted by memories trapped in airless limbo.

Rekopia Znaleziony w Saragossie Director: Wojciech J Has Cast: Zbigniew Cybulski, Iga Cembrzynska, Elzbieta Czyzewska Courtesy of Contemporary Films/Mr Bongo Rescued from obscurity by Grateful Dead head Jerry Garcia and then restored with the help of Martin Scorsese, this Polish classic of interweaving and complex narratives is a surreal delight of continually opening magic boxes. Based on a legendary tome by Count Potocki (1761-1815) – travel writer, novice king of Malta, Egyptologist, occultist, historian, balloonist, linguist, melancholic and eventually a suicide. Travelling across the arid wastes of 17th century Spain, a Belgian soldier comes upon an old book from Saragossa which chronicles the life of one of his ancestors. Two ghosts turn up to terrorise and seduce him and hallucinogenic scenarios start to unfold.

STEPPENWOLF (Switzerland 1974) Director: Fred Haines From the novel by Herman Hesse Cast: Max von Sydow, Dominique Sanda, Pierre Clementi, Carla Romanelli Courtesy of Contemporary Films Fred Haines’ film of the Herman Hesse classic stands head and shoulders above other adaptations of great books. The reclusive Haines will be remembered forever by Hesse aficionados. Max von Sydow is a memorable Harry Heller, Pierre Clementi is a wonderful host to debauchery in The Magic Theatre which is for “madmen only” and Carla Romanelli is perfectly equipped to lead Harry’s “wolf of the steppes” into the clear air of experience. With superb animation by Jaroslav Bradec and a video artwork of psychedelic intensity by Abdul Mati Klarwein when Harry enters the “star gate”, as it were, this film is a must for anybody seriously interested in cinema.

Now with the release of The BaaderMeinhof Complex, the time is right to rediscover it. Stammheim is the prison where the four major members of the Red Army Faction were held. Reconstructing their trial, Hauff is never partisan. The group use every opportunity presented by their inquisitors to spread their political propaganda: they insist that a covert policy authorised the killing of political prisoners. When Baader, Rasper and Enslin all committed suicide in prison in 1977 (Meinhof had committed suicide in prison during the trial), many supporters and intellectuals accused the state of murder.

The ﬁlm reaches levels of graphic sexuality and violence which place it in the pantheon of transgressive cinema.

Elvis has to get to his wedding in Cape Town where Ayanda – his bride-to-be – awaits him. He detours to Durban to pick up his best man, Tumi. The two get lost in the backroads of the Eastern Cape where they are hijacked by Rose, a heartbroken British backpacker. Thrown violently off course around George they have a goat foisted on them by Ayanda’s grandmother. Nkosi and Msutwana are perfect foils as the hapless pair and Jodie Whittaker, last seen as the schoolgirl temptress in Venus, is disarmingly scatty.

grandmother with her distant mother. Dealing with teen gangs, random sexual encounters and the aimlessness of her situation and her surroundings, the girl’s intrinsic goodness shines through. South African director Heinrich Dahms has lived in the Netherlands for some years and his concern with the plight of young people is given eloquent release.

Courtesy of the Director (www.heltic.webs.com) An abattoir, real blood and a demonic harpy intent on revenge for her boyfriend’s infidelity is the core of independent metal musician and no-budget filmmaker Axe’s new film.

PROGRAMME 7

FREDDY ILANGA: CHE GUEVARA’S SWAHILI TRANSLATOR

THE LIVES OF ANIMALS (UK 2002)

(Cuba/South Africa/USA 2009) Director: Katrin Hansing An affectionate documentary about a man who lives in Cuba but remembers his native country with regret. An anti-Mobutu rebel, he was assigned to be Guevara’s translator when he visited the Congo. He spent seven months at Guevara’s side, then he was sent to Cuba. He lost contact with his family and spent 40 years haunted by loneliness. Then in 2009, he received a phone call from the Congo. His family had ﬁnally found him.

Director: Alex Harvey Cast: Eileen Atkins, Paul Rhys Literary magus J.M. Coetzee is a vegetarian and animal rights activist. In his novel Disgrace, the pain of the dogs is as important as the existential agonies of the central human. His earlier novella, The Lives of Animals, is essentially a dissertation on his beliefs. In this ﬁlm, the dissertation is read by an academic receiving a prestigious award at a university function. It is simple and to the point, and animals are defended with a lucid rage.

PASSAGES: J.M. COETZEE Director: Liza Key Courtesy of the Director A controversial cantata using Truth and Reconciliation Hearing testimonies, composed by Philip Miller, championed by Antjie Krog, with singers including Sibongile Khumalo, this was performed to acclaim both locally and internationally. Investigative documentary ﬁlmmaker Liza Key goes behind the hype to talk to the parents and close ones of victims of apartheid executions, the people whose testimonies form the basis of the cantata. There is a horrifying image of a dead child. Many years later the grief-stricken mother’s memory is forever stuck on the image – “Rewind the picture,” she cries, “rewind the picture”. The cantata can be recycled again and again, night after night, city after city – the end of life is ﬁnal and lasting. Fri 10 July 12:30 (1 hr 16 mins) Age Restriction: All Ages

PROGRAMME 6 THE SOUL MINDERS (South Africa 2009) Director: Ryan Rees-Davies Cast: Natasha Rees-Davies, Ryan Rees-Davies Courtesy of the Director (www.TheSoulMindersMovie.com) An accidental head injury leaves Grace with the ability to see the auras of humans around her. It also enables her to see Gabriel, a Soul Minder and her protector. The Soul Minders try to prevent certain foreseen events with global consequences from taking place. They are forbidden however, to interfere directly with human souls. Gabriel’s concern for Grace takes him out of bounds. This gentle New Age love story is shot primarily in mountain and beach locations along the Cape coast.

H.A.M. (South Africa 2009) Director: Axe Cast: Inge Wessels, Anushka Draven Made without the assistance of the National Film and Video Foundation

(South Africa 1988) Director: Cheryl Tuckett A documentary on the work of the reclusive author includes rare interviews with him and various associates including Lionel Abrahams.

MAIN PROGRAMME

REWIND THE PICTURE (South Africa 2009)

Sat 11 July 12:30 (1 hr 37 mins) Age Restriction: All Ages

JOSEPH STRICK RETROSPECTIVE The most literary of filmmakers, Joseph Strick has been involved with filming books by Lawrence Durrell, Jean Genet, Henry Miller and, most notably, James Joyce. Now 85, Strick is ripe for rediscovery and the National Arts Festival is delighted to be the first festival to present this package of his films. The retrospective is coordinated and presented by Contemporary Films in London.

ULYSSES (Ireland / USA 1967) Director: Joseph Strick From the novel by James Joyce Cast: Milo O’Shea, Barbara Jefford, Maurice Roeves Academy Award Nominee Poet Stephen Dedalus and Jewish journalist Leopold Bloom go about the simple chores… just another day in Dublin but also an odyssey of epic proportions. The film moves, like the book, from actuality to fantasy with the ease of Fellini. Milo O’Shea is a superb Leopold Bloom and Barbara Jefford is an earthy personification of his wife and object of his considerable lust. The script by Strick and producer Fred Haines is intelligent and cinematographer Wolfgang Suschitzky’s images of Dublin are magnificent. Sat 4 July 12:30 (2 hrs 20 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (S)

FILM

A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN (Ireland/USA 1977) Director: Joseph Strick From the novel by James Joyce Cast: Bosco Hogan, T.P. McKenna, John Gielgud With a literate adaptation by Judith Roscoe, Strick’s adaptation of James Joyce’s ﬁrst book has Stephen Dedalus, Joyce’s alter ego, questioning his faith and reaching manhood in turn-of-the-century Dublin. It’s essentially a multi-layered examination of sexuality and myth. John Gielgud gives a rousing description of Hell but Stephen is dead-set on the pursuit of sensual delight. Sun 5 July 12:30 (1 hr 32 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (S)

MAIN PROGRAMME

TROPIC OF CANCER (USA 1970) Director: Joseph Strick From the novel by Henry Miller Cast: Rip Torn, Ellen Burstyn, James T. Callahan With Genet and Joyce under his belt, Strick next went for the equally un-ﬁlmable Henry Miller and made a pretty good job of it. Rip Torn, good at playing cowboys, showed he was equally adept at playing a sex addict writer on the loose in Paris. Ellen Burstyn makes a strong impression as his disgusted wife. Slapdash but invigorating – in line with Miller’s scattershot, scatological and scatty prose – the ﬁlm is true to the author. Mon 6 July 22:15 (1 hr 27 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (S)

THE BALCONY (USA 1963) Director: Joseph Strick From the play by Jean Genet Cast: Shelley Winters, Peter Falk, Lee Grant Academy Award Nominee Genet’s allegorical play is set in a brothel where the madam strives to keep business going during a revolution. The score is by Igor Stravinsky and there are great performances by Shelley Winters and Lee Grant as her lesbian confidante. The film is a gem of provocative American filmmaking. Tues 7 July 12:30 (1 hr 24 mins) Age Restriction: 16

THE SAVAGE EYE (USA 1960) Director: Joseph Strick Cast: Barbara Baxley, Gary Merrill, Herschel Bernardi The borders between documentary and fiction are blurred in the story of a divorcee wandering round Los Angeles trying to start life anew. As pertinent today as it ever was, the work analyses the high price paid by our psyches for the so-called benefits of civilisation. Brilliantly conceived, it impressed Jean Genet so much that he was prepared to allow Strick to film his play The Balcony and led to painter, Edward Hopper’s commendation “If you want to understand America, see The Savage Eye.”

& INTERVIEWS WITH MAI LAI VETERANS (USA 1971) Director: Joseph Strick Academy Award Winner Without any cut-aways to the atrocious incident itself, ﬁve participants in the Mai Lai massacre of women and children in Vietnam discuss their collusion with their commanding ofﬁcer. Why soldiers kill innocents

ROAD MOVIE (USA 1974) a.k.a. Janice Director: Joseph Strick Cast: Robert Drivas, Regina Baff, Barry Bostwick Two self-employed big-rig drivers pick up a self-destructive sexworker and set off on the road to ruination. The film shows America the bleak – filthy, trash strewn streets, swampy landfills, miles of destroyed land strip mining and dump yards. Regina Baff offers a frightening character study that is at once loathsome and pitiable. She is the boys’ big mistake, but it soon becomes clear that she is also their last chance for personal redemption. Wed 8 July 22:15 (1 hr 28 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (S)

THE REMARKABLE CINEMA OF THE PHILIPPINES This overview of Philippine cinema is made possible through the generous support of the Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and in particular the support of Ambassador Virgilio Reyes Jnr whose enthusiasm drove the project forward. The remarkable cinema of the Philippines is well worth investigating and a visit by the great scriptwriter Clodualdo del Mundo Jnr to introduce screenings adds value to the programme. Del Mundo will also present a workshop at the festival. He will speak about cinema and scriptwriting before taking part in a discussion with visiting South African filmmakers. Guest: CLODUALDO DEL MUNDO JNR As the writer of Lino Brocka’s classic 1974 production Manila in the Claws of Darkness, Clodualdo del Mundo Jnr was in the forefront of Philippine cinema’s recognition in Europe when the film was nominated for the Palme d’Or and Brocka was nominated as Best Director. Del Mundo is, however, also renowned as the script collaborator with director Mike de Leon – he wrote the classic films The Rites of May (1976), Kisapmata – In Just the Wink of an Eye (1981) and Batch 81 (1982). He also wrote the script for de Leon’s Third World Hero which is showing in this programme. Del Mundo is also the director of two films – Pepot Superstar (2005) and Ehemi Plo: Corruption and Integrity in Philippine Society (2007).

MANILA IN THE CLAWS OF DARKNESS (Philippines 1974) a.k.a. Manila in the Fangs of Neon/Maynila: Sa mga kuko ng Liwanag Director: Lino Brocka Script: Clodualdo del Mundo Jnr Cast: Hilda Koronel, Bembol Roco, Lou Salvador Jnr The film which brought Philippine cinema to the attention of the world tells of Julio, a small-town fisherman who goes to Manila in search of his childhood sweetheart Ligaya, losing his innocence and humanity in the process. Julio’s journey through the neon-lit hell of Manila has elements of Midnight Cowboy. The ending is a big surprise – never has a tragedy been as beautiful as this. s The film will be introduced by scriptwriter Clodualdo del Mundo Jnr.

PEPOT SUPERSTAR (Philippines 2005) a.k.a. Pepot Artista Director: Clodualdo del Mundo Jnr Cast: Elijah Castillio, Rio Locsin, Cris Villaneuva, Jeffrey Quizon Clodualdo del Mundo Jnrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directorial debut, Pepot Superstar is a comedy/musical ďŹ lm that carries all the charm of a cherished project. Pepot, a ten-year old boy with dreams of stardom in the movies, is surrounded by adults with movie fantasies of their own â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his mother, the school principal, various impersonators. He has to battle against poverty and the pressure of school bullies to realise his dreams. Winner of Best Film at the Cinemalaya Film Festival, the ďŹ lm is both joyful and positive. s )NTRODUCTION OF lLM AND 1 ! BY SCRIPTWRITER DIRECTOR #LODUALDO DEL Mundo Jnr.

SANTA SANTITA (Philippines 2004) Director: Laurice Guillen Cast: Angelica Panganiban, Hilda Koronel, Johnny Delgado, Cherry Pie Picache The call of the ďŹ&#x201A;esh and the call of service to God are the twin themes of this challenging and deeply engaging movie about the amorous Matet who becomes a reluctant saint. Rejoicing in her abundance she ďŹ rst acquires the power of healing and then develops stigmata. The ďŹ lm gains an epic dimension when actors are skilfully placed in documentary footage of mass religious ceremonies such as the Black Nazarene procession. Globalisation is also thematically intrinsic to the story: average Filipinos come under tremendous pressure when it comes to religion and money.

FOSTER CHILD (Philippines 2007) Director: Brillante Mendoza Cast: Cherry Pie Picache, Eugene Domingo, Jiro Manio A moving and engaging day in the life of a woman who lives in a Manila slum where she cares for abandoned children (often posted anonymously through a special aperture at the local church). She and her family prepare for the adoption of young John-John by wealthy Americans staying in a luxury city hotel. The meeting between the foster mother and the parents-to-be is fraught with searing emotions.

Audiences canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help falling in love with these three charmers. Sweet natured and unpretentious, deďŹ nitely a ďŹ lm to cherish.

DOCUMENTING THE MATERIAL WORLD Part one of a serious look at documentary and its many facets.

ZEITGEIST (USA 2007) Director: Peter Joseph Featuring: Osama bin Laden, George W Bush, David Icke Courtesy of Flamedrop.com/Cinemania An extraordinary documentary about (a) the origin of the Christian faith, (b) how American banks seized world power at the beginning of the 20th century and (c) how these two items are related to the wars in the 20th and 21st centuries. The ďŹ lm proposes that totalitarianism is the demand of the uncritical masses. Religion, State and Media all work towards this end, propagating the lie of Democracy as an absolute freedom, whereas in reality it thinly disguises the way we are all chained to the powerful.

a.k.a. Bayaning Third World Director: Mike de Leon Script: Clodualdo del Mundo Jnr Cast: Joel Torre, Ricky Devao, Cris Villaneuva, Cherry Pie Picache A national hero, Jose Rizal, a writer, doctor and intellectual who led the revolt against colonial domination, is the Filipino equivalent of Nelson Mandela. Fashioning a discursive narrative, de Leon and del Mundo peel away the layers of myth to expose the national hero in the cruellest light â&#x20AC;&#x201C; appropriated by commerce and popular culture to sell everything from deodorants to funeral parlours. Part philosophy, part journalism, part whimsy, this is cultural anthropology in dramatic form.

ZEITGEIST ADDENDUM (USA 2008) Director: Peter Joseph Featuring: Jiddu Krishnamurti, Jacque Fresco, Roxanne Meadows Courtesy of Flamedrop.com/Cinemania This is divided into four parts: Part 1 deals with the current monetary system and its ﬂaws; Part 2 is with an interview with John Perkins on his role as an economic hit-man, taking out opponents to the American banks in Latin America; Part 3 introduces The Venus Project, a proposal created by Jacque Fresco for a sustainable future; Part 4 examines the emergent and symbiotic aspects of natural law and what it means for humans.

RELIGULOUS (USA 2008)

MAIN PROGRAMME

Director: Larry Charles Courtesy of Nu-Metro Wars rage, the environment is in crisis and natural disasters are more frequent – the end of the world would appear to be nigh. “If there’s one thing I hate more than prophecy,” declares comedian and commentator Bill Maher, “it’s self-fulﬁlling prophecy”. Maher has done his theological homework and he interviews believers with deep scepticism. This irreverent, mordantly funny and provocative documentary has a pertinence that will give you the chills.

GRIPPING CINEMA TIGHTLY IN CELLULOID’S TWILIGHT SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (UK/India 2008) Director: Danny Boyle Cast: Irrfan Khan, Anil Kapoor, Dev Patel Courtesy of Ster-Kinekor An 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai is about to experience the biggest day of his life when, with the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a fortune on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? But when the show breaks for the night, the police arrest him on suspicion of cheating – he is only a slumdog after all – and he has to prove his innocence. The revelations of his story, and the role television plays, are fascinating and funny, and the kinetic ﬂashbacks to his life on the streets are exquisitely shot.

WHITE PEOPLE ALSO DREAM: The Shamanic Journey of a Sangoma (South Africa 2009) Director: Terry Westby-Nunn Courtesy of the Director A young white woman, plagued by disturbing dreams, interprets these as a calling to become a traditional healer. She begins the rigorous training and takes a journey into the heart of Xhosa culture. In order to be unobtrusive and to gain access in a very real way to the isolated ceremonies, the documentary was ﬁlmed on a small mini DV camera which imbues the images with a soft dream-like quality perfectly suiting the otherworldly ambience of the journey.

ADORATION (Canada 2008) Director: Atom Egonyan Cast: Arsinee Khanjian, Scott Speedman, Rachel Blanchard Courtesy of Video Vision An examination of the complexity of making connections in the modern world. When a teacher asks her class to translate a news story about a terrorist who plants a bomb in the airline luggage of his pregnant girlfriend, we witness the effect on one of her disturbed students. Re-imagining this event to be his own personal family history, the student begins to perpetuate this fiction through internet chat rooms. Using his new persona, the student, an orphan living with his uncle, finds access to explore his own relationship with his past. Ambitious in structure and scope, the film unfolds as a multi-layered mystery in which chronology is fractured and narrators sometimes unreliable. Unfailingly intelligent and certainly timely, the film’s rich visual texture combines sumptuous photography alongside images from the internet and mobile phones. Thurs 2 July 15:00 & Tues 7 July 17:30 (1 hr 40 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (V)

I’VE LOVED YOU SO LONG (France 2008) a.k.a. Il y a Longtemps que Je t’Aime Director: Philippe Claudel Cast: Kristin Scott Thomas, Elsa Zylberstein, Claire Johnston Courtesy of the Labia Juliette moves in with her younger sister’s family after a long estrangement in this beautifully nuanced study of familial tension and individual regeneration. After 15 years in prison, she hesitantly ﬁnds her way around the French village where they live. At ﬁrst she hardly talks,

but slowly remembers life can be fun and good. The ﬁlm rightly focuses on her as a person with a past rather than what the past was – does it really matter why she was gone, what she did or why she did it? Thurs 2 July 17:30 & Wed 8 July 20:00 (1 hr 55 mins) Age Restriction: 13

THE WRESTLER (USA / France 2008) Director: Darren Aronofsky Cast: Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood Courtesy of Video Vision This ﬁlm has a Golden Lion from Venice, two Golden Globes and a BAFTA (Best Actor) and was nominated for two Oscars, and it deserves them all and more. Rourke is magniﬁcent as a battered dreamer who doesn’t give up even when the odds are stacked against him, Marisa Tomei is more than his match as an ageing stripper, and Bruce Springsteen brings on the goose pimples with his theme song. Thurs 2 July 22:00 & Fri 10 July 22:00 (1 hr 45 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (SNVL)

Based on a book by Fay Weldon and produced by Weldon’s son Dan, the film is an unsettling mystery about thwarted desire and greeneyed rage. Kelly Reilly plays a young architect who plans to build a dream house in an Irish backwater on the ruins of a burnt out cottage. The location has a secret history and envious locals still practice witchcraft. A conflagration is imminent. There are nightmarish flights of fantasy and, as always with Roeg, there are startling and provocative visual surprises. Mon 6 July 20:00 & Sat 11 July 17:30 (2 hrs) Age Restriction: 16 (SNVL)

4 MONTHS 3 WEEKS & 2 DAYS (Romania 2007) a.k.a. 4 Luni, 3 Saptamani si 2 zile Director: Christian Mungiu Cast: Anamaria Marinca, Laura Vasiliu, Vlad Ivanov Courtesy of Ster-Kinekor The story of this multi-award-winning ﬁlm is very simple. It is 1987 and abortion is illegal in Romania. Pregnant student Gabita and her roommate Otilia check into a cheap hotel where a backstreet abortionist, Bebe, is going to deal with the problem. The degree of illegality depends on how long Gabita has been pregnant. On this subject, as on most others, she is worryingly vague. The question of whether abortion is right or wrong is irrelevant to the psychology of the ﬁlm – all that matters is that it is dangerous. Spare, direct and realistic, the suspense generated is astonishing.

The Wrestler

ELEGY (USA / Canada / Spain 2008) a.k.a. La Bellera esta en los ojos de quien la Mira Director: Isabel Coixet Cast: Penelope Cruz, Ben Kingsley, Dennis Hopper Courtesy of Nu-Metro This powerful dissection of sexual philandering and power play in a toxic affair between an arrogant older man and a vulnerable young woman is based on a Philip Roth story. David Kopesh is a literature professor coping badly with encroaching old age. When he meets a digniﬁed and sheltered student from Cuba, he callously targets her as a trophy. Like a vampire, he staves off death with the innocent blood of youth. Thurs 2 July 20:00 & Sat 11 July 15:00 (1 hr 53 mins) Age Restriction: 16 (S)

IN BRUGES (UK / USA 2008) Director: Martin McDonagh Cast: Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Clemence Poesy Courtesy of Ster Kinekor Holed up in the Belgian town of Bruges two British hit men are forced to confront themselves, each other and the real meaning of life and death. Bosch’s painting The Last Judgement points towards their own fate and a dwarf (who seems to come out of a painting) attends on them. Films seldom come this intelligent – it is superbly written.

Based on Stefan Aust’s definitive book on key figures Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, this film dissects a complex time in Germany’s post-war history. The contradictory nature of a group who fought an international terrorist campaign against American imperialism and the West German establishment throughout the Seventies is deftly handled without sensationalism or undue partisanship.

THE MUSE (Netherlands 2009) a.k.a. De Muze Director: Ben van Lieshout Cast: Matthias Schoenaerts, Tara Elders Courtesy of the Director Inspired by J.M. Coetzee’s Youth, the film uses beautiful, even futuristic, images to speak of alienation in contemporary society. John is a recreational writer who retreats to a Dutch harbour city where he intends to hold down an office job and write in his spare time. At night he wanders through the city in search of inspiration, only finding it in the cinema. After watching Antonioni’s The Eclipse he starts to daydream about lead actress Monica Vitti. Then he meets her equivalent … in the gloom of an industrial metropolis, a melancholy artist discovers a muse. Fri 10 July 15:00 (1 hr 12 mins) Age Restriction: 13 (N)

JAZZ FESTIVAL

UNITED NATIONS OF GRAHAMSTOWN

The Jazz Festival in Grahamstown is renowned for the amazing mix of musicians gathered for a week together, teaching at the Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Festival by day and performing on the Main Jazz Stage at night. 300 students and 50 teachers gather for the NYJF, itching for new musical ideas and keen to interact with the 80 musicians invited as performers and teachers. These performers come from nine countries and represent some of the hippest directions being taken in jazz around the world. As an introduction, we put together six musicians from opposite ends of the globe, each bringing their own compositions and reďŹ&#x201A;ecting their national style, and each with extensive and impressive performance pedigrees. From New York comes Salim Washington (sax), from Switzerland Samuel Blaser (trombone), from northern Sweden Tommy Lakso (guitar), from Israel Micu Narunsky (piano), with a South African rhythm section of Mike Campbell (bass) and Kevin Gibson (drums).

ANDRE PETERSEN TRIO

A conďŹ&#x201A;ation of composers from South Africa and Sweden is certainly worth watching, and here we present two from different continents. Pianist Andre Petersen began his musical education and career as a classical musician, but jazz has become his strength and love. He is ďŹ rmly established on the Cape Town scene and performs regularly with Winston â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mankunkuâ&#x20AC;? Ngozi, Robbie Jansen, Errol Dyers and many others. He has spent much time in the past couple of years collaborating with Norwegian musicians such as Andreas Bye (drums), who joins him after performing together in Norway. On bass is a master musician from Sweden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Martin SjĂśstedt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who is one of Scandinaviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading musicians and a progressive composer.

INTERGALACTIC RHYTHM EXCHANGE

What do you get if you add a Dutch ﬂute player from Surinam, a Norwegian percussionist enamoured with traditional African rhythms and a Khoi descendent proud of his musical heritage, which he presents on the European jazz circuit? An exchange of rhythm patterns of an intergalactic standard! Ronald Snijders (ﬂute) performed in Grahamstown in 2007 and blew the audience away with the rhythmic complexities of his personal style of Afro-Caribbean jazz, which he calls Kawinajazz. He returns to join pianist Hilton Schilder, who comes from a Cape Town musical aristocracy that has enthused audiences for generations. He is equally comfortable on piano, the traditional Khoi mouth bow or hip-hop rapping, jumping with ease across what are normally musical barriers. Norwegian drummer/percussionist Ottar Nesje has performed on over 100 professional recordings and rates as a highlight his work in Namibia’s Kalahari Desert, collaborating with traditional Kalahari musicians. Smoothing this extreme mix are Johannesburg trumpeter Prince Lengoasa and Cape Town jazz professor Mike Campbell, both with performance credentials stretching over decades

SCHOOL/YOUTH JAZZ BANDS II

We ﬁrst feature a selection of the top young vocalists attending the Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Festival, under the guidance of vocal teacher and performer Melanie Scholtz. Next up is a special guest quartet from Sweden – the Petter Olofsson Quartet – winners of the Swedish Jazz Federation Youth Competition 2008. We ﬁnish the session with the University of KwaZulu-Natal Jazz Band.

& NARUNSKY

Israeli-born pianist Micu Narunsky studied in Tel Aviv, New York and Canada where his teachers included Richard Bierach and Dave Holland. He has performed in international jazz festivals and clubs in Israel, Belgium, France and Ireland with such artists as David Liebman, Dee Dee Bridgewater and a range of others, and has recorded extensively. He has also performed with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. He has struck up a musical partnership over the past six years with woodwind specialist Michael J. Rossi, Professor of Jazz at UCT, who regularly performs at jazz festivals in South Africa, Europe and the United States. He has performed with as diverse an array of musicians as the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra, Clark Terry, Aretha Franklin and Winston “Mankunku” Ngozi. One of Cape Town’s busiest young musicians, Shaun Johannes, plays bass and drummer Frank Paco, originally from Maputo and now in great demand on the Cape Town jazz circuit, completes the ensemble. Two guests add to this fascinating collaboration – New York’s Salim Washington (sax), Professor at Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, and Oslo’s Guro Gravem Johansen (vocals), Assistant Professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music.

KESIVAN NAIDOO & THE LIGHTS

Standard Bank Young Artist Winner (Jazz) The phenomenal young drummer Kesivan Naidoo is Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz for 2009. He has made his presence felt strongly in South Africa over the past decade and he has begun to carve himself an international reputation. He is a ﬁne example of the success South Africa is beginning to reap from its youth development programmes, as he was selected for the Standard Bank National Schools Big Band in 1995 and the Standard Bank National Youth Big Band in 1999 and 2000. His particular strengths are a transformatory energy on stage, a keen commitment to maintaining the integrity of his artistic expression, and a willingness to explore all musical genres in an effort to give voice to the music inside. The bands he performs with and composes for range in style from post-bop to traditional Indian to acid jazz and all have one thing in common – they are cutting- edge. Here he fuses a variety of musicians who have inﬂuenced him in past years, drawing from them their “musical light” to achieve a common goal on stage. Joining him is the virtuosic alto saxophonist from Stockholm, Johan Hörlén; Australian trombonist Adrian Mears, a leading light in the European avant-garde; Reza Khota, steeped in Indian and Classical guitar; adventurous Cape Town pianist Andre Petersen; and one of Europe’s busiest bass players, Swede Martin Sjöstedt.

22:00 VICTOR

MASONDO

Bassist extraordinaire Victor Masondo, Standard Bank Young Artist in 1996, makes a welcome return to Grahamstown in an intimate quintet. He enjoys huge respect for his abilities on bass, having performed with the likes of Miriam Makeba, Dizzy Gillespie and Hugh Masekela, and has a massive following in Japan, where he performs regularly and creates signature basses for Yamaha as a specialist artist. He has become even better known in South Africa for his classy record production, producing the albums of musicians as diverse as PJ Powers, Miriam Makeba, Ringo Madlingozi and Freshlyground. Here he meets up with a pair of musicians who, as he did, studied jazz in Durban with Darius Brubeck – Melvin Peters (piano) and Kevin Gibson (drums) – both of whom have gone on to perform and record with the luminaries of South African jazz. Added to this superb rhythm section is the excitement of two outstanding saxophonists – Shannon Mowday and Karl-Martin Almqvist, the highly-acclaimed lead tenor from the Stockholm Jazz Orchestra who has been described as “one of Sweden’s most lyrical tenor saxophone players.” Almqvist has studied with musicians such as George Garzone and Bob Mintzer and has played extensively throughout Europe and also toured Mexico, Latin America, Asia and the US, with 2009 his ﬁrst visit to Grahamstown.

NORTH SEA BIG BAND

For years Norwegian trumpeter Arne Hiorth has been promoting musical contact between South Africa and Norway, particularly through his innovative combination of professionals and students in the North Sea Big Band, drawing on compositions and arrangements from both countries. The band alternates between performances in Oslo and Cape Town and this year comes to Grahamstown for the ﬁrst time. A standard Big Band format is used, drawing on a core of top professional musicians and with eight of the best students from Scandinavia and South Africa added. This is a Big Band with power and beauty, as well as the intensity of youth. Professionals from South Africa are Shannon Mowday (sax), Mike Rossi (sax), Graham Beyer (trombone) and Shaun Johannes (bass); from Norway Frank Brodahl (trumpet), Arne Hiorth (trumpet), Andreas Bye (drums) and Ottar Nesje (percussion) with Yossi Regev (trombone) from Israel. The participation of these musicians was made possible by the support of Norwegian funding organisation Mmino.

AWESOME BIG BAND

One of the sell-out trademarks of the Jazz Festival in Grahamstown is the Awesome Big Band – a unique selection of top international jazz musicians in a standard Big Band format. A band of this nature is also known as a Jazz Orchestra for the dynamic and harmonic depth and contrast that arrangers can produce from 17 instruments. It is reminiscent of a classical orchestra but with the added power and energy that jazz exudes. This year’s band pays tribute to Duke Ellington’s music in arrangements written by Victor Masondo, who was invited to arrange music in honour of the Duke for the Duke Ellington Jazz Festival held annually in Washington DC. Dizzy Gillespie’s band – the United Nation Orchestra – played Masondo’s arrangements with trumpeter Roy Hargrove as guest, and we now present those arrangements in Grahamstown. In addition, the band plays two compositions by Australian master trombonist Adrian Mears, whose work includes performances with the Vienna Art Orchestra, McCoy Tyner’s Big Band and Joey Calderazzo. The band consists of Sax: Johan Hörlén (Sweden), Francois le Roux, Karl-Martin Almqvist (Sweden), Salim Washington (US), Chris Engel; Trumpet: Fredrik Norén (Sweden), Prince Lengoasa, Sydney Mavundla, Lee Thomson; Trombones: Adrian Mears (Australia), Samuel Blaser (Switzerland), John Davies; Piano: Jason Reolon; Bass: Victor Masondo; Drums: Kevin Gibson.

STANDARD BANK YOUNG ARTIST: BABU

Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz 2009, drummer Kesivan Naidoo, has consistently pushed the boundaries of the art form whilst remaining true to the fundamental principles of jazz. After a jazz degree at UCT he spent a year in India on a SAMRO scholarship to further his studies at the Rhabindra Bharati University in Kolkata. With Babu he fuses the complexity and vibrancy of jazz with the long-standing improvisational practices of Indian Classical music, which has had an extensive history of spirituality in music. This fusion of two streams of musical expression taps into the more complex realms of human experience – the subconscious, perhaps mystical world – through the medium of four experienced, diverse, technically-impressive musicians. Babu features Reza Khota (guitar), Shane Cooper (bass) and Ronan Skillen (tabla, percussion, didgeridoo). The band undertook a very successful national tour earlier this year, and was nominated for a SAMA award.

STANDARD BANK NATIONAL SCHOOLS’ BIG BAND

Each year the Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Festival sets the stage for a national search for the finest young jazz talent in the country. Hopefuls between 13 and 26 years get the chance to play their hearts out for a prestigious place in one of two national bands – one at school level, and one representing the best players under the age of 26. After Grahamstown, the Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Band performs in leading jazz festivals around the country and has performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Netherlands and twice in Sweden. See these newly selected bands comprising the country’s top young jazz players performing together for the first time at 17:00 and 22:00. The Standard Bank National Schools’ Big Band will show you the strides being made in the jazz education programmes in high schools around South Africa. The band brings together the best young school players in the country under the guidance of Felicia Lesch, a very experienced music educator who ran the Heathfield High School Jazz Band for many years in Cape Town and is now co-ordinator of the Jazz Certificate Programme at Stellenbosch University. The irrepressible big band sound is the most popular genre in jazz and a wonderful vehicle for educating young players.

ARCTIC CIRCLE FIREWORKS

Guitarist Tommy Lakso lives and performs in Malmberget, 100 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in snow-covered Swedish Lapland. His speciality is plucked and acoustic guitar, and his music echoes the simplicity and starkness of a land besieged by the cold and dark. To this is added the ﬁreworks of South Africa’s most exciting and energetic young drummer – Kesivan Naidoo – and the ﬁre and ice that results from the North-South interaction will be spectacular and beautiful. Swedish bassist Martin Sjöstedt, no stranger to South Africa, melds the two together, and additional sparks are added by two of Scandinavia’s most impressive saxophonists – Karl-Martin Almqvist and Johan Hörlén – who join the trio as guests.

SONGS FOR THE NORTH

Melanie Scholtz is one of South Africa’s rapidly rising musical stars and, though she graduated cum laude from the UCT Opera School, she is a vocalist grounded in the down-to-earthness of the blues, R&B and legendary jazz singers like Dee Dee Bridgewater and Billie Holiday. Her classical training gives her spectacular vocal technique and she employs this as a basis in her search for jazz expression. Last year she recorded in Stockholm with two stalwarts of the Swedish jazz scene – alto saxophonist Johan Hörlén and bassist Martin Sjöstedt, both of whom have performed in Grahamstown on a number of occasions – and in this performance she brings that recording to life in Africa. Accompanying her on piano is Durban maestro Melvin Peters, who has performed in Australia, Norway, Scotland, France, Belgium and around the US, and who returns to Grahamstown for the ﬁrst time since 1993. Aside from his jazz renown he has performed with the Free State Symphony Orchestra, the KwaZuluNatal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Cape Town Jazz Orchestra. On drums is one of South Africa’s premier jazz drummers, Kevin Gibson. Saxophonist Shannon Mowday joins the group for a guest spot.

SALIM WASHINGTON & RONALD SNIJDERS

Born in Surinam, Ronald Snijders (flute) is considered “the most swinging flautist in The Netherlands”, and is the inventor of African Surinam kawinajazz. He has a Master’s Degree in Ethnomusicology and specialises in a conflation of Caribbean, Western and African jazz styles. Here he meets master tenor saxophonist, composer, and jazz educator, Salim Washington, who is one of the fastest rising stars on the New York Jazz scene today. He has a doctorate in the music of John Coltrane, a professorship in New York and hastravelled extensively, playing in festivals throughout the US and Canada, Latin America, and Europe. He has performed with Pharoah Sanders, Kenny Garret, Frank Lacy and Donald Smith among many others. On piano is Andile Yenana, one of South Africa’s most innovative young musicians who has been setting up a jazz programme at the University of Venda. Dr Marc Duby, Professor of Music at Rhodes, is on bass and Kesivan Naidoo is on drums.

Africa, European, Middle Eastern and Indian – all held together by the elastic structures we call jazz. The concept was given life by the personal and musical friendship of two of South Africa’s most sensitive composers and musicians – McCoy Mrubata (sax, ﬂute) and Greg Georgiades (vocals, oud, ﬂamenco guitar). Mrubata is one of our country’s best-known exponents of a jazz style we can truly call our own and Georgiades has incorporated a range of Mediterranean and North African instruments in an intoxicating hybrid of north and South African ethno-grooves that “cook” under vibrant melodies. To this mix is added Siya Makuzeni (trombone, vocals), a dynamic young musician from the Eastern Cape with a special penchant for free, expressive improvisation and a powerful stage presence; Mlungisi Gegana, also from the Eastern Cape and a bass player with a refreshingly funky approach; Wynand van der Walt (drums) from Pretoria, who has performed with Karen Zoid amonst others; and Ashish Joshi (tabla, darbuka, djembe, dhol), who brings to the musical table his years spent diligently studying classical Indian music.

STANDARD BANK YOUNG ARTIST QUARTET

Standard Bank has been a central supporter of the arts in South Africa for decades and since 1984 the Standard Bank Young Artist Awards have annually recognised artists pushing the boundaries of their chosen art forms and catching the attention of audiences and their peers. These awards have in recent years paid particular attention to the phenomenal jazz talent in our country and we are in the fortunate position of being able to draw together six of the winners from the list of musical luminaries who have won this prestigious prize to perform together this year in celebration of 25 years of Standard Bank sponsorship of the award. Shannon Mowday, South Africa’s package of saxophone dynamite, Mark Fransman, visionary on both piano and saxophone, Concord Nkabinde, who has blurred the restrictions of musical boundaries, and drummer Kesivan Naidoo, who will light a ﬁre under any musician, come together as a quartet forging a new direction in music. Joining the quartet as guests are the 2005 winner for Jazz, Andile Yenana (piano), and 2008 Music winner, opera star Zanne Stapelberg.

OFFSHORE + BUDDY WELLS, MARCUS WYATT & JONATHAN CROSSLEY

The Offshore Jazz Ensemble – Martin Wolfaardt (piano), Paul Gibbings (bass), Jonathan Sweetman (drums) – is one of the most dynamic young bands in the country and has emerged from the seclusion of Knysna onto the national jazz stage, drawing deserved accolades. The band’s sound is eclectic and sophisticated – deeply based in the jazz tradition with fusions of world music, funk and reggae. These young players show that jazz musicians do not always have to be based in the grittiness of urban centres to generate the soul needed for jazz. The trio has performed with an impressive series of guests including New York saxophonist Sam Thomas, Boston guitarist Gary Wittner and soul singer Wendy Oldﬁeld. In this performance Offshore is joined by three of South Africa’s most interesting jazz musicians: Buddy Wells (sax), Marcus Wyatt (trumpet) and Jonathan Crossley (guitar).

Guitarist Jonathan Crossley undertook a very successful national tour earlier this year with his original compositions, performing around the country with musicians from the Czech Republic, where his music has gained great popularity. Crossley has become known for his use of textured guitar-scapes and effects and his inﬂuences lie clearly with musicians like John Scoﬁeld and The Bad Plus, with simple, infectious grooves offset by Crossley’s eclectic guitar sojourns. This is funk, blues and soul with a very modern edge. The band this time is fully South African, with Janus van der Merwe (sax, keyboard), Martin Wolfaardt (piano), Paul Gibbings (bass) and Jonathan Sweetman (drums). One of South Africa’s best-known trumpeters – Marcus Wyatt – joins the band for a special guest spot.

Everyone knows Freshlyground! Their vibrant, danceable rhythms and unmistakably African joie de vivre have permeated our homes, our dance floors and our shopping malls, putting smiles on faces and getting toes tapping. Emerging in 2002 in Cape Town, this mix of young South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean musicians has taken the musical world by storm, touring constantly internationally and picking up a slew of awards, including an MTV Europe award and four SAMAs in 2008 including “Album of the Year”. Freshlyground incorporates elements of traditional South African music (such as kwela and African folk), blues and jazz, as well as features of indie rock, and the band has created a musical category all its own. Few South African bands can boast invitations to serious jazz festivals as well as extended weeks at Number 1 on the 5FM Top 40! Freshlyground has produced three albums and has developed a significant market, here and abroad. The band features the distinctive voice of Zolani Mahola (vocals), as well as Simon Attwell (flute, mbira, sax), Kyla-Rose Smith (violin), Julio Sigauque (guitar), Seredeal Scheepers (keyboard), Josh Hawks (bass) and Peter Cohen (drums).

Sarah Vaughn, South Africa’s Miriam Makeba and Dorothy Masuka, and the energy of reggae, jive and traditional Xhosa music. Simphiwe has scooped an impressive collection of music awards and accolades in South Africa and abroad, winning seven SAMA awards, including an unprecedented four SAMAs in 2007 for her latest release “One Love Movement on Bantu Biko Street” (Best Female Artist, Album of the Year, Best Contemporary Jazz Album, Best Vocal Jazz Album). Her international achievements include the prestigious AVO Session Arising Star Award in Switzerland; nomination in the 2008 BBC Radio 3 Awards for Best Artist in the category World Music – Africa; and Number 1 on the Billboard Music Charts. Her band includes Tokoloho S Moeketsi (guitar), Andile Yenana (piano), Herbie Tsoaeli (bass), Ayanda Sikade (drums), Mabeleng Moholo (percussion), Ntsubise Moshoeshoe (vocals) and Thantaswa Matshobongwana (vocals).

Her lyrics echo the struggle for self-confidence and freedom that we – especially African women – face constantly as we mould a society that cherishes its traditions and wrestles with its future. Simphiwe defines her style as Modern African Soul and her influences are clear – jazz greats (and civil rights activists) like Lena Horne and

MAIN PROGRAMME

Conductor: Bernhard Gueller Soloist Catherine Foxcroft (piano)

Catherine Foxcroft

Programme Michael Moerane (1909-1981) Fatse la heso (My Country) – a symphonic poem According to the composer in a note prefaced to the score, Fatse la heso is based on thematic material derived from freely-adapted African songs: a warrior’s song, a reaper’s song, a free transformation of a cradle-song and a hymn which supplies the harmonic structure. Sergey Sergey Prokofi Prokofiev ev (1891-1953) (1891-1953) Piano Concerto Concerto No. No. 33 in in CC major, major, Op. Op. 26 26 Piano Soloist: Catherine Foxcroft Andante - Allegro Tema con variazioni Allegro, ma non troppo The concerto radiates a crisp vitality that testifies to Prokofiev’s inventive prowess in punctuating lyrical passages with witty dissonances, while maintaining a balanced partnership between the soloist and orchestra. Andante - Allegro The first movement (C major) opens with an Andante clarinet solo, a long, lyrical melody that the whole orchestra eventually picks up and expands; the allegro entry of the solo piano unexpectedly breaks the lyrical mood in an exuberant, harmonically-fluid burst of brilliance and rhythm, utilising fragments of the first theme. Piano and orchestra continue in dialogue, until the piano introduces the harmonic structure for the second theme with a loud, unexpected march-like climax. The second theme, considerably more dissonant and ambiguous in tonality, is first taken by the orchestra, then expanded upon by the soloist. This leads into what is perhaps the most recognisable pianistic feat of the first movement; several lines of octaves interspersed with close tones either above or below (in a triplet rhythm), moving up and down the keyboard with the hands usually on top of one another. This is followed by a restatement of the principal theme, played loudly in the full orchestra, which transitions to a slow, haunting minor variation of the theme by the soloist. A quick, scalar passage backed by the orchestra leads back into a repeat of the piano’s original entrance material. The remainder of the piece mostly features the piano, backed by the orchestra.

Tema con variazioni The middle movement (E minor) is a theme and five variations and is a dazzling example of Prokofiev expressing his slightly sarcastic wit in musical terms. The central idea is stated by the orchestra in a hesitant, piquant gavotte. The first variation is a broad, slow restatement by the piano, beginning with a long trill followed by a glissando-like run up the keyboard. The second variation is presented by the orchestra at a galloping pace, with the piano providing excitement with long runs up and down the keyboard. The third variation is a heavily-syncopated deconstruction of the main theme with a lumbering jazzy backbeat. The fourth variation, possibly the most famous, is a haunting, wandering meditation of the main theme, with free dialogue between the piano and orchestra. The fifth variation is another allegro romp for soloist and orchestra, starting in a sunny major key but modulating into transitional waters as the main theme is fragmented and thrown into double-time pieces, then building and subsiding into the Coda. The orchestra plays the main theme in its original form, at original speed (one-half that of the preceding variation), with the piano providing double-time obbligato accompaniment. A short andante ending hinting at an E major ending gives the piano the last word with a low-octave E minor chord. Allegro, ma non troppo The third movement (C major), which Prokofiev himself called an “argument” between soloist and orchestra, begins with an A minor statement of the main theme in bassoons and pizzicato strings, interrupted by the piano’s assertive entrance with a conflicting theme. Interplay between the piano and orchestra builds up steam, with a brief quickening of tempo (foreshadowing the lengthy, brilliant Coda) before arriving at a slow, lyrical secondary theme in woodwinds. The piano offers a rather sarcastic reply, and the slow theme develops, through another Rachmaninoff-esque restatement and another ethereal exploration (the soloist running up and down the keyboard softly over gently-dissonant muted woodwinds), into a united climax with piano and strings in beautiful unison, then fading into the Coda. This is the most unabashedly virtuosic section of the Concerto, with an allegro restatement of the main theme, again in bassoons, but in E minor. The piano reframes it initially in D major, then slides into a bitonal obbligato against a G major underpinning in strings; then the coda explodes into a musical battle between soloist and orchestra, with dazzling piano ornamentation over the orchestra eventually establishing the ending key of C major and finishing in a flourish with a fortissimo unison C.

INTERVAL Johannes Johannes Brahms Brahms (1833-1897) (1833-1897) Symphony Symphony No. No. 11 Op Op 68 68 in in CC minor minor Un poco sostenuto – Allegro – Meno allegro (C minor) Adante sostenuto (E major) Un poco allgretto e grazioso (A flat major) Adagio – Più andante – Allegro non troppo, ma con brio – Più allegro (C major) The symphony begins with a broad introduction wherein three key elements are heard simultaneously: the low drumming, the rising figure in the strings, and the falling figure in the winds. This introduction was constructed after the remainder of the piece had been scored. The Allegro section of the movement is a large orchestral sonata, wherein musical ideas are stated, developed, and restated with altered relationships among them. The second and third movements are lighter in tone and tension than the first and last movements. The slow movement, Andante sostenuto, exhibits gentle lyricism through three sections, the third of which is a new treatment of the themes from the first. The long violin solo is reminiscent of some of Beethoven’s later works: the late quartets and Missa Solemnis. The third, scherzo-like movement, has an easy spirit yet is full of complex rhythms and interwoven textures.

Brahms stated that when he was writing the lush first theme of the last movement in C major played by the strings, he was thinking of John14:10: “I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.” BERNHARD GUELLER Beginning his career as a cellist, with a degree from the Hochschule in Stuttgart, Bernhard Gueller won the United German Radios Conducting Competition in 1979. Two years later he was deputed by the legendary conductor Sergiu Celibidache to take the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra on a national tour, and was acclaimed as one of Germany’s most talented young conductors. Gueller, with a long association as conductor in Cape Town, has an extremely heavy international schedule conducting orchestras throughout the world. CATHERINE FOXCROFT South African pianist Catherine Foxcroft is the darling of the critics and brings enthusiastic audiences to their feet time after time. She has a radiant stage presence which adds glamour and a sense of theatre to her memorable performances. She is in demand as a concerto soloist with South African orchestras and her recordings are broadcast regularly on FMR and Classic fm. As a student of Arie Vardi, she studied, performed and taught in Germany for over a decade before taking up her current post as senior lecturer in piano at Rhodes University. THE CAPE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), South Africa’s “orchestra for all seasons”, is a financially and culturally sustainable, multi-functional orchestra delivering a world-class musical experience to all communities of the Western Cape. The CPO is one of only three full-time professional symphony orchestras in South Africa and continues a long and proud history of symphony music since Cape Town’s first symphony orchestra was formed in 1914. Apart from traditional symphony concerts presented in the historic City Hall, the CPO also performs at the Artscape Theatre Centre with Cape Town Opera and Cape Town City Ballet for the opera and ballet seasons. The CPO is arguably the most versatile and active orchestra on the continent of Africa and contributes handsomely in making Cape Town part of a global culture.

MAIN PROGRAMME

The fourth movement begins with a slow introduction, where a new melody competes with “gloomy dramatic rhetoric”. In the Più andante section, the horns and timpani introduce a tune that Brahms heard from an Alpine shepherd with the words, “High on the hill, deep in the dale, I send you a thousand greetings!” The last section, Allegro non troppo, ma con brio, contains a grand melody in a major key, as the novel, Beethoven-like main subject of the grand ﬁnale.

The orchestra embraces education through its training orchestras, the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (CPYO), the Cape Philharmonic Youth Wind Ensemble (CPYWE), a cadet programme for aspiring professional musicians and various far-reaching educational and development programmes.

MOERANE MUSICAL TRIBUTE A Musical Tribute to Michael Mosoeu Moerane

VOICES OF CAPE TOWN directed by

LUNGILE JACOBS with MDUDUZI MTSHALI on Piano

MAIN PROGRAMME

Voices of Cape Town has distinguished itself as one of the foremost Choral Jazz choirs in South Africa, taking the art of choral singing to new heights by arranging and fusing African traditional choral music with a lovely jazz rhythm section producing something unique, rich and cross-cultural.

This recital is an apt tribute to Michael Moerane who will be remembered as one of South Africa’s great composers and educationists, and it aptly coincides to mark the hundredth anniversary of his birth in 1909. Moerane was educated at Lovedale College, Fort Hare University and UNISA, where he was the ﬁrst black graduate awarded a degree in music. In 1941, as part of his degree requirements, he submitted the symphonic poem Fatse la heso (My Country): a great moment in our musical history. The work is to be performed by the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the Symphony Concert. Among Moerane’s other compositions are three works for school orchestra, several descriptive piano pieces and a substantial body of choral music on biblical texts. He derived many of his themes from freely adapted African songs: warriors’ anthems, reapers’ work songs, lullabies and hymns.

In a musical tribute to Michael Moerane, they offer a remarkable fusion of Choral meets Jazz. Audiences will be amazed at the level of genius this composer showed during his time. Very few African choral music composers are able today to write the kind of music Moerane wrote at a time when exposure to modern music was a rare occurrence for Africans. As the ﬁrst black music graduate in South Africa, Moerane has truly been a great classical but African-rooted composer. This musical tribute to his genius will demonstrate the varied styles he composed in, including arrangements of African American Spirituals. Interspersed with his music, the audiences will get a fuller understanding of the man and his music from projected visual interviews with his children. Voices of Cape Town give a fresh new dimension to the usual traditional presentation of choral music by adding a Jazz rhythm section to their accompaniment. This not only makes choral music accessible to Jazz lovers but it also exposes traditional choral music to the beauty of Jazz while enjoying the passion of traditional songs. Director Lungile Jacobs has arranged Moerane’s music for the Jazz band without taking away the beauty of the original music by adding little elements to enhance and enunciate the melodic and somewhat modern, somewhat avant garde, harmonic approach to his music. Audiences are assured of an experience in choral music with a difference.

THE PACIFIC BOYCHOIR Conducted by Kevin Fox and Christopher Kula This acclaimed ensemble is the touring group from a choir academy in Oakland, California. Founded in 2004, it has already been compared favourably with the Vienna Boys Choir in music education and performance skill. The academy was opened following the success of an original chorus (formed in 1998 with six boys). It now includes 100 singers aged between seven and 17. They invest a pure joy in their singing which is based on strong musicianship and unfaltering professional discipline. Critics have hailed their musical sophistication and the quality of the sound they produce. “The sheer sonic experience was chilling. The full, powerful sound – clear and in-tune – nearly brought tears to my eyes...” wrote William Quillin, San Francisco Classical Voice of their performance of Rachmaninoff’s Vespers. The Paciﬁc Boychoir has made a number of recordings, winning a Grammy Award for Best Classical Album in 2004 for its performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 with the San Francisco Symphony.

Musicians Sbusiso Zondi Zoko Ndimande Barney Sbusiso Bophela Sbusiso Mndaweni Mphendukelwa Mkhise

Mzonjani Ndodile Shezi Susan Barry Lungisani Msomi Nonhlanhla Mhlongo

Born into a musical family in Inanda (KZN) and inspired by the relevance of her hometown, which is the birthplace of African Nationalist leader John Duke and the late prophet Isaiah Shembe, it was inevitable that Busi Mhlongo’s lyrics would resonate with universally powerful and poignant messages about empowerment and reconciliation. Coupled with her socially charged lyrics, Victoria ‘Busi’ Mhlongo has succeeded in giving worldwide attention to Maskanda guitar music and earning herself the reputation as “the reigning queen of modern Zulu music”. As a toddler, she started singing at weddings and church services. It was only after she made the obligatory pilgrimage to Johannesburg to win the Gallo Records Talent Competition that the pathway to her successful musical career became more deﬁned.

MUSIC GUY BUTLER THEATRE MONUMENT SATURDAY 11 JULY 20:00 DURATION: 1 hour 10 minutes

Her musical ability, which was fast gaining popularity, also enabled her to scoop a number of roles in theatrical productions, which included playing the lead in Gibson Kente’s The Jazz Prophet and Liefa. Spreading her talents across theatre and music festivals, Busi found herself being drawn to Portugal via Mozambique and Angola. The lively cabaret circuit of Portugal offered her many opportunities to serenade her newfound audiences. From a musical sojourn in Portugal, she relocated to London in the seventies to record with other South African exiles including Dudu Pukwana, Lucky Ranku and Julian Bahula and to establish her reputation as a global explorer who was determined to take her music to different shores. After spending five years in Canada, she returned to the mother continent for a musical tour that took her through Zimbabwe, Zambia and Lesotho before slipping back into South Africa after a decade of being away only to find that she would be trailed by the Security Forces. Frustrated by the political harassment, Busi accepted an invitation to return to Europe, and with the support of her friends she performed at the African Roots Festival in Amsterdam where her vibrant performances and dynamic stage presence led to an invitation to perform along with internationally-celebrated Senegalese musicians Salif Keita and Manu Dibango. She returned to South Africa in the eighties and performed with her band ‘Twasa’ and, in 1995, she appeared on the main programme of the National Arts Festival. As an international diva of African music, Busi Mhlongo’s music defies categorisation as she draws on mbaqanga, maskanda, marabi and traditional Zulu, fused with contemporary elements from jazz, funk, rock, gospel, rap, opera, reggae and West African music. She is a virtuoso singer, dancer and composer – her song We Baba Omncane was chosen by Adidas for a global advertising campaign in 2001 and for EMI’s Football World Cup.

CANCIONES EN ESPAÑOLAS Zanne Stapelberg & James Grace Zanne Stapelberg Earthy, fun-loving diva Zanne Stapelberg has attained fame as a serious classical artist with unprecedented popular appeal. A Stellenbosch graduate, she was acclaimed for her role as Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus in 2005 for Cape Town Opera, as well as for her solo performances in Marthinus Basson’s Pulcinella at Spier. She was the First Lady in William Kentridge’s Magic Flute in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Insig magazine named her South Africa’s most versatile artist and top theatre attraction of 2006.

sarod, cello, saxophone, tabla, udu

East Meets West is the perfect example of how different cultures can work and blend together in perfect harmony, each inspiring the other in the creation of something unique and beautiful. Through music we reach out to others, learn from and inspire one another. Music is the universal language through which we transcend all boundaries.

Bhavesh (composed by Rabin Ram)

Morning Love (traditional)

sitar, ﬂute, tabla

East Meets West is of great importance in the South African cultural context. All over the world there is a renewed interest in Indian classical music and East Meets West is contributing to this movement. The music is unique in the sense that no one else has performed in this combination and the work for cello and sarod is a world ﬁrst. The combination of sitar, sarod, tabla and cello lends itself to an exceptionally beautiful blend of Indian traditional and western classical instruments. The style and the mood of the music ranges from meditative, sweet and delicate to exuberant and ecstatic.

MAIN PROGRAMME

After meeting at a music festival in 2003, these inspired musicians decided to cross the cultural divide and make music together: Indian Classical music in the style of Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin, who recorded three albums in the 1960s. The project was launched early in 2004 and has widely become known as a unique and unusual spiritual experience. After receiving enthusiastic response and standing ovations at several concerts in 2004, the group was invited to perform at the Stellenbosch Festival and the Hermanus Whale Festival in 2005, the Cape Town Festival in 2006 and the National Arts Festival in 2007.

VIVA BAROQUE CELLO Hans Huyssen (baroque cello) & Andrew Cruickshank (harpsichord)

MAIN PROGRAMME

This ‘time-machine’ recital juxtaposes two contemporary African compositions with sonatas by Bach, Vivaldi and Boismortier, illustrating Huyssen’s contention that the ancient and the contemporary should not be isolated from one another. They yield exceptionally valid expressions, if heard in each other’s context. He regards contemporary work as the Period music of our time and strives to reconnect it to its various historical roots. Both Huyssen and Cruickshank perform old and new work believing “a concert hall should be neither a museum nor a laboratory.” In Harpsichord Piece 1, Cruickshank plays off African and Western musical languages and elements against each other. The music reﬂects the earthiness and grittiness of an African city: the frantic pace and on-the-edge lifestyle. With Ugubhu (rising and falling…and rising) Huyssen’s cello pays homage to one of its oldest ancestors, Africa’s bow. This work insists on its own African-ness and demands a re-assessment of the orthodox idea that only ‘traditional’ or ‘ethnic’ music is authentically African.

INTERSECTIONS: SWISS/AFRICA ensemBle baBel and Dizu Plaatjies Women’s Ensemble featuring Madosini Latozi Mpahleni

Audiences will be taken on a cross cultural musical journey where the percussion will respond to Xhosa clicks, the cello will have a dialogue with the uhadi bow, the saxophone will echo with the umngqokolo overtone singing of Madosini. This is an exchange of ideas that will surely surprise not only the listeners but also the musicians themselves.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Intersections: Swiss / Africa brings together four Swiss musicians from the ensemBle baBel under the direction of Olivier Cuendet performing with Dizu Plaatjies Women’s Ensemble featuring Madosini. Based on improvisation and interaction between the musicians and instruments, the performance is a dialogue of two worlds using language, rhythm, classical and contemporary music to create a new vocabulary made out of sounds, clicks, words, vibrations, emotions and gestures.

Eastern Cape born and Cape Town based, Madosini Latozi Mpahleni has been described as a “national treasure” and she is indeed the greatest living exponent of uhadi bow songs. Hailed as the ‘Queen of Xhosa Music’, Madosini was born amongst the Pondo, in the Dlomo district of the village of Mpheko near Umtata. She learned to play uhadi at the age of 13. Taught by her mother Madosini began playing, composing songs and making instruments at this early age and demonstrated remarkable skills at social gatherings. Her extraordinary music is unique, not just in its scope, but also in the variety and depth of the emotions she evokes.

ensemBle baBel features saxophone (Laurent Estoppey), cello (Pascal Desarzens), percussion (Luc Müller) and keyboards (Olivier Cuendet). The musicians perform both classical and contemporary music, mostly in arrangements that use techniques such as improvisation, collage, distortion and conceptual games. This progressive style will be fused with elements of Xhosa and AmaMpondo musical practices, including the uhadi playing. The uhadi (mouth bow), mostly played by women, offers composers a range of resources for elaboration in their idiom. It is a very personal genre of music making, which requires inventive translation. Both ensembles share their love of challenge through international collaborations.

Dizu Plaatjies is the founder and former leader of the South African group, Amampondo. He is a graduate of the University of Cape Town School of Music and now lectures there in African Music. Plaatjies is the son of an African traditional healer. His interest in African percussion music has taken him to numerous countries on the continent with the result that he now owns a substantial collection of hand made musical instruments from sub-Saharan Africa. His latest recordings made for the label Mountain Records, entitled, Ibuyambo (2005) and African Kings (2008), illustrate this knowledge and interest.

TRIO HEMANAY Helen Vosloo (ﬂute), Marion Lewin (cello) & Malcolm Nay (piano)

Trio Hemanay

MAIN PROGRAMME

Formed in 1997, the trio celebrated its tenth anniversary with a debut album which was nominated for a SAMA award in 2008. As a trio, they have made a name for commitment to works by South African composers. The South African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) has commissioned several works for the trio, amongst them Stefans Grové’s The Soul Birds and, more recently, Hans Huyssen’s The Cattle Have Gone Astray. Arrangements of well-known pieces by Satie and Bartók have also been specially commissioned for them. Hendrik Hofmeyr’s Notturno Elegiaco is dedicated to the group.

Helen Vosloo is Principal Flute with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of South Africa, and appears regularly as a soloist playing chamber music. She has been the recipient of several of South Africa’s top music awards, which enabled her to make extensive study tours to Europe and the USA, where she has worked with some of the world’s leading ﬂautists such as William Bennett in London and Peter Lukas Graf in Switzerland. In 2002 Helen was engaged as a member of the celebrated Tapiola Sinfonietta in Finland. Helen currently teaches part time at the University of the Witwatersrand. She founded the Keiskamma Music Academy in rural Eastern Cape in 2006. Malcolm Nay is one of the most charismatic of South African chamber musicians. He obtained a BMus degree and Postgraduate Performer’s Licentiate (cum laude) at the University of the Witwatersrand. In 1978 he won the P.J. Lemmer Scholarship for Overseas Study. During his time in the USA he performed and recorded extensively, winning numerous prizes. Since his return to South Africa, Malcolm has appeared as a soloist with most major local orchestras, and is a popular solo recitalist throughout the country. He now heads the practical teaching staff at Wits University, at the same time managing a very active concert career.

Marian Lewin is one of South Africa’s most highly accomplished cellists. She began playing at the age of ﬁve, studying with her aunt, the indomitable Betty Pack. A UNISA Scholarship took her overseas and in 1964 she began her almost 30-year long orchestral career. After a stint in the SABC Orchestra, she joined the newly formed PACT Orchestra as Principal Cello, a post that she held for 20 years. She currently plays with the Rosamunde String Quartet, Enigma Piano Quartet and Trio Hemanay. She has been nominated for three Artes Awards. Amongst her many CD recordings is a complete programme of the Glière Cello Duets.

Inﬂuenced initially by Spanish culture and later by American traditions, Filipino music rose to express strong nationalistic sentiments as well as the extremely romantic nature of the people. With limited resources but unlimited natural musicality, their music expresses their dreams and experiences.

Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909)

Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999)

Tárrega’s music and style of playing became strongly inﬂuential in the 20th century. The Nokia ring tone is based on Tárrega’s Gran Vals and Mike Oldﬁeld arranged Recuerdos de la Alhambra for the soundtrack of The Killing Fields. Tárrega had an interest in combining the prevailing romantic trend in classical music with Spanish folk elements. He also transcribed many of Albéniz’s piano pieces for guitar.

Rodrigo was blind from the age of three, and began his study of music from the age of eight. Despite never having mastered the guitar, he is credited with having popularised and distinguished it as a universal concert instrument. Joaquín wrote all his compositions in Braille, which were then transcribed for performance and publication. He is the composer of the famous Concierto de Aranjuez.

JAMES GRACE is one of South Africa’s leading concert artists, and Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) Albéniz was a child prodigy who ﬁrst performed at age 4, and by 15 he had performed worldwide. His crowning achievements are Iberia, written in the last few years of his life, Cordoba, celebrating one of his favourite cities, and Suite Española Op. 47, a piece that captures the diverse aspects of life in Andalusia.

the ﬁrst guitarist ever to receive the Tagore Gold Medal from the Royal College of Music in London, where he studied with Carlos Bonell. With this programme Grace pays tribute to the three composers by performing some of their best, and lesser-known, works. Since 2003 Grace has been based in Cape Town, where he maintains a full time teaching and performing schedule. He has released three albums, Granada – Music of Spain, Portrait and his newly released Café Latino. He has performed as the soloist in Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, both with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra in 2003 under the baton of David Scarr, and more recently in 2008 with Bernhard Gueller and the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2007 Grace performed the Villa Lobos guitar concerto with the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra under visiting conductor Orwain Arwel Hughes.

Crying Ladies

The National Arts Festival presents

JESSE CLEGG In little more than a year Jesse Clegg has gone from being the son of a famous father to a chart-topping rock performer in his own right, putting his authentic stamp on a sound markedly different from that of the world music style developed by his dad. After an early childhood spent largely on the road, Jesse experimented with a number of different instruments while at school - including saxophone, clarinet, drums and piano - until he ﬁnally settled on guitar. Songwriting became his musical focus and it was then that he honed his writing skills, putting together a catalogue of songs. After Jesse matriculated, he performed live while working with producer Brian O’Shea on what was to be his debut album, When I Wake Up. Released in 2008, the single “Today” debuted at number 1 on the Highveld Homebrew Chart, and has been nominated for a South African Music Award for both Record of the Year and Best Music Video. Guy Buttery will perform an opening set.

Artistic direction Les Grandes Personnes “The Grown-Ups” Collective, France

Amazing! Irresistible! Unforgettable! A family of friendly giants from Orange Farm (Gauteng) take the art of puppetry to new heights. Measuring up to four metres high, the granny, mother, father, brother, sister and baby will bring out your inner child as they enact their story and parade the Festival streets. The engineering and handling of these enormous figures is an awesome feat: the puppeteers stand up underneath the adult figures, working them from below. To achieve this storybook spectacle, artists from Les Grandes Personnes worked with fourteen young folk who were already actively developing their own arts and crafts careers. They have all reaped rich benefits from the skills transfer, sharing of ideas and cultural exchange that took place during the fun and games of creating these gentle giants.

OSADIA Alex Rendon and Josephine Grunzy

“A crack team known as Osadia invite volunteers to take a seat in the barber’s chairs and become transformed into walking works of art.” Wentworth Courier, Australia “For those brave enough to take a seat in the barber’s chair, the artistic duo will create weird, wild and wonderful hair sculptures using creative and innovative concepts of hairdressing. The less brave can simply watch the frantic creations take shape before their eyes.” City of Sydney Times “They are incredibly creative and quick ... All hairdressers should try and see them – they are stunningly good.” The Scotsman

MAIN PROGRAMME

“The performance continues long after the artists have completed their tasks, as the numerous hair creations pass among the attending public, acting as a visual reminder of the performance.” 3-D World, Australia

If you think your hairdresser has attitude, get a load of this surreal performance-art installation. This is extreme hairstyling, created by towering live sculptures of colour and ornament. The Osadia (“Audacity”) hair artists are costumed and coiffed in the extravagant traditions of the Venice and Rio carnivals: post-modern Pompadour, blue-faced oriental deity – expect the unexpected. They set up their salon in a public space and get whizzing with comb, gel, colour-sprays and glitter make-up, transforming ordinary audience members into technicolor sci-ﬁ fantasies. Osadia hails from Barcelona, that fabulous crucible where overdoing it is a way of life. Their shows have wowed festinos all over Europe as well as in Japan, New Zealand, Australia and the USA.

BORDER YOUTH DANCE THEATRE AND AMAPHIKO TOWNSHIP DANCE PROJECT

Amaphiko

Directed by Janet Buckland and Tembe Nkosi Puwane An electrifying collaboration on stage is created by two youthful dance groups from the Eastern Cape. Both formed in the early 1990s, these groups have been entertaining audiences in the Eastern Cape with their exuberant dances for years. Border Youth Dance Theatre from Mdantsane has received numerous awards and has been invited to dance festivals such as the Dance Umbrella, the Dance Umdudo and the Dance Indaba. Their dancers are highly skilled in several dance forms and this shines through in their dynamic and high-powered performances. Amaphiko (which means wings) Township Dance Project, a fantastically talented group from Grahamstown, is testimony to how dedication, hard work, passion and love of dance can power one to the top. The Amaphiko dancers give electrifying performances in a number of different styles ranging from traditional Xhosa dance through to Township Jive, and it has been said that any performance by these dancers is a life-afﬁrming experience for the audience.

MANYANDUBE DANCE GROUP Choreographed by Sibongile Nkombelo For more than two decades, this group of women from the Bhaca tribe have acted on their conviction that the youth will be empowered if they are held close to the traditions and values that will sustain them through life. Their songs and dances are the vehicle for these wisdoms and their performance is infused with knowledge and passion for their tribe and traditions. The dance of Umxhentso resonates with memory and heritage; it is a celebration and an expression of group pride.

Winner of the 2008 Makana Drama Development Festival, this piece takes audiences into township life, placing a spotlight on the shebeen scene where alcohol abuse breeds violence and apathy. Bra Zitt tries earnestly to convince the youth not to drink and disgrace traditional values. He has problems of his own though, and the shebeen queen won’t let him forget his debts. Political undertones in The Maxim question the state of the townships and ask why so little has changed. The production is current, local and scaringly real. The winners of Best Actor and Best Actress from the Makana Drama Development Festival 2008 star in the show.

MENEER Fire Theatre Promotions A devised collaboration between Simphiwe Mzimba, Lonwabo Xatase and Luvuyo Ketelo with Simphiwe Mzimba, Lonwabo Xatase, Luvuyo Khethelo and Sisanda Yawa (stage manager) A clever but cheeky schoolboy educates his teacher about the social importance of knowing his HIV status and caring about his partners. This fast-paced satirical piece lets no opportunity slip in its outspoken criticism of the bureaucracy that keeps ineffective policies in place. It capitalises on the misunderstandings that so often arise from political jargon. Founded in the Port Elizabeth area in 2006, Fire Theatre creates community drama that speaks to people and facilitates change.

The story traces a young man’s journey from a small Eastern Cape town to the metropolis, where he dreams of becoming a professional dancer. Drawing on a wealth of personal experience, the performers harness their dynamic physicality to detail life on the streets of Grahamstown and Jozi.

STUDENT THEATRE The National Arts Festival is committed to creating a pathway for the next generation of writers, directors, designers and performers to both showcase and to engage with the craft of theatre, playmaking and live performance to reﬂect, project and challenge the myriad facets of our world and of our times. A kaleidoscope of workshopped productions and originally scripted plays that are produced by students from invited universities and accredited colleges of higher learning offers audiences an innovative experience that is passionate, exuberant, deep and adventurous in the South African spirit. The eleven new productions take on the challenge of contributing to the excitement of new writing and the exploration of new theatre styles within the intimacy of the Student Theatre Festival experience and to reﬂect the world-view of culture in the way the students create their productions.

MAIN PROGRAMME

The Student Theatre Festival is generous in its mission to allow the student artists to ignite an explosive engagement between themselves and the professional theatre arena by developing, producing and promoting new plays that explore the edges of theatrical style and human experience, and by implementing new ways to use the artistry of theatre to inform, enlighten and entertain South African audiences. Not only will they perform for a broad and informed audience, but they will also be able to discuss elements of their production with two expert advisers.

The stage is set. The lights are up. Prospero’s books are open. Miranda wheels the barrow and Ariel has disappeared. In this barren wasteland of ash and scattered dust, a dream is being built. The dream of an island, its beaches caked with blood … experience the magic of the empty space in a three-wall temple, where a company of actors are preparing for a performance of The Tempest. Witness Prospero join in the creation of Caliban. Immerse yourself in the multiplicity of performance styles including physical theatre, acting, music, mime and more!

We are all interconnected in the labyrinth of life. Our lives touch one another whether we know it or not. As we evolve we are linked by fewer and fewer degrees of separation. In Parallel follows the story of characters brought together by fate and how seemingly random events alter all who encounter them, forever. The direction that the characters’ lives follow bring them in contact with one another, in a tale of truth and revelation, that you will remember for a long time to come.

Language could cause offence

A physical, multimedia exploration with strong surreal undertones A taxi driver, affectionately nicknamed “Khudu” (tortoise) by his peers, journeys through various relationships (geographical as well as meta/physical) to determine where he is headed. One journey ends and another route/ine begins. Where can one get off? It’s a physical, multimedia exploration with strong surreal undertones. We follow the hero as he strays down the rabbit warren of his mind, seeking something greater than him – something universal… Batho Bothle is Tswana for “Everyman”.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Stories about angels, nomads and flights of imagination… Five suitcases belonging to five isolated characters make journeys through the realms of the fantastic and the absurd. Five stories brush past each other in fleeting moments of possibility. Five worlds in which the lines between daydream and reality become blurred. Five actors telling these stories through physical theatre, puppetry and multimedia. The Suitcase Stories is a collection of modern fairytales that explore the themes of loneliness, the human longing to escape, the search for companionship, and what holds us back from following our innate nomadic nature.

Every day society places hurdles in our path, including identity, gender and race. This piece is about the way we try to overcome the hurdles and suppress the pain they cause. The body is used as a canvas to display an understanding of these social concerns. The idea is to create a relationship through time travel and the encounters that signify a relationship with ups/downs and past/present memories. Yes! The time has come to heal our bodies!

THE NATIONAL ARTS COUNCIL AT THE NATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL The National Arts Council is once more proud to support the National Arts Festival this year. The vision of the NAC is to promote, through the Arts, the free expression of South Africa’s cultures and its mission is to develop and promote excellence in the Arts.

In this regard the NAC has embarked on two specific interventions to address this specific object in the craft and theatre disciplines respectively that will feature at the National Arts festival this year. In theatre a new project called “So you think you can write” is a Script Reading Festival which will provide an opportunity for first time writers to have their work interrogated by experts who will then give constructive feedback on the scripts. Writing skills is but one of those areas of concern that we hope the Script Reading Festival will improve theatre production quality especially amongst the first time writers and to provide new and aspirant writers an opportunity to learn. The NAC will also have a special NAC Craft exhibition for crafters that the NAC has supported before at the National

MAIN PROGRAMME

The NAC was established through an Act of Parliament No 56 of 1997. One of the objects of the NAC Act is to give the historically disadvantaged such additional help and resources as are required to give them greater access to the arts. The NAC cannot continue to be seen as a funding agent only but must also be seen to be proactive in creating supportive structures with a clear growth path.

Arts Festival at the Village Green. The NAC has come to a realization that many crafters in the country have no access to markets to sell their products. The objectives of this exhibition would be to create market and exposure for crafters, introduce crafters to new marketing opportunities, increase their sales margins, understand market needs and how to prepare and run a stall. The targeted beneficiaries are rural communities including women and the youth. The NAC is also proud to be hosting the 4th World Summit on Arts and Culture in Johannesburg. The Summit will be brought in partnership with the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) on 22 – 25 September 2009. The Summit will bring arts policy makers, arts advocacy groups and public funders from all over the world to converge in Newtown, Johannesburg. The City of Johannesburg, the National Department of Arts and Culture, Business and Arts South Africa and the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation also partners in this event. The theme of the Summit is ‘Meeting of cultures: Creating Meaning through the Arts’

The challenge, he says, is avoiding the social instability and rise of militant nationalism that led to the Second World War. To do this we need leaders who understand what went wrong, and who have the vision and courage to get societies to do what is needed to put this right. Godsell was CEO of AngloGold Ashanti Limited and former President of the SA Chamber of Mines and Chairman of the World Gold Council.

HOLDING THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE

TWO CULTURES OR ONE WORLD? – GOING BEYOND THE SCIENCE/HUMANITIES OPPOSITION A lecture in memory of Michael Crichton (1942-2008) JOHN HIGGINS revisits the classic terms of the opposition between science and the humanities as set out in C.P. Snow’s famous lecture, Two Cultures, and argues that this opposition has lost much of its force in the contemporary world. In arguing for the need for some recognition of common ground between science and the humanities in our complex world, where funding for both in higher education is under threat, the lecture draws on the work of the late Michael Crichton and his attempts to bring science to the public in texts such as Jurassic Park, Next and State of Fear. Higgins is currently Andrew W. Mellon Research Professor in the Archives and Public Culture project at the University of Cape Town. (Wed 8 July 14:30)

Is it possible to integrate the two and to have a spiritual same-sex relationship? Bilchitz is Director of the South African Institute for Advanced Constitutional, Public, Human Rights and International Law (SAIFAC) and a Senior Research Associate at the University of Pretoria.

REV JUDITH KOTZÉ, from Inclusive and Affirming Ministries (IAM), discusses the growing interest in spirituality and sexuality in our times and then defines both aspects from a Christian perspective. She will explore the “Fact or Fantasy” issue as a metaphor for the mission, work and challenges of Inclusive and Affirming Ministries, and will conclude by showing how such a fantasy, in reality, can become a fact.

NKUNZI NKABINDE, author of Black Bull, Ancestors and Me, explores the dimensions of her sexual identity through her relationship with both male and female ancestors. “In Zulu culture a man must be a man and do male things and a woman must be a woman and do female things but with sangomas it is more ﬂexible. I can dance like a woman and wear a woman’s clothes and dance like a man and wear a man’s clothes…” Conscious of her constitutional rights as a young urban lesbian in a time of a relentless spate of hate crimes against township lesbians, Nkabinde is simultaneously sensitive to the demands of the guiding ancestral voice of the traditional, rural Zulu patriarch whose name she bears. Her quest is for a middle path of balance and integration between the living and the dead, the traditional and the modern. (Thu 9 July 14:30)

World Café is a world-wide phenomenon that brings people together to discover answers to life’s most important questions by simply talking them through with others. MELANIE KILEY, who has worked as a human resources manager for the Foschini Group and is an expert in organisational development, will lead this ﬁrst Festival experiment in which participants will brainstorm their most important questions and then embark on a deeply-captivating discussion process. Kiley has 18 years of experience in working with people and companies to facilitate growth and transformation. (Fri 10 July 14:00 – Duration 3 hours)

THE RIGHT TO WRITE – GRAFFITI ART AND URBAN IDENTITY IAIN “EWOK” ROBINSON discusses contemporary street art, with a focus on grafﬁti writing and its roots in hip-hop culture. He explains its impact on global urban youth culture and identity politics. Durbanbred artist Creamy Ewok Baggends, grafﬁti writing head from the original WK? crew, Hip Hop activist and proudly South African rapper, is also known as Iain “Ewok” Robinson, actor, writer, and performance poet.

(Sat 11 July 10:30) HIP-HOP ACTIVISM VERSUS BLING

GRAPHIC CRUSADERS: THE CARTOONIST AS SOCIAL ACTIVIST AND OPINION MAKER This mini-symposium, chaired by ANDY MASON, features three cartoonists whose work covers four decades of South African history. LEN SAK, whose career began in the 1950s, is the creator of the popular character Jojo, who appeared in newspapers like The World and Sowetan for several decades. In the mid-1990s, NANDA SOOBBEN became the ﬁrst black political cartoonist to be employed by a South African daily paper (Daily News). JESSE BREYTENBACH is an exciting young cartoonist. The work of these three artists provides an appropriate entry point into the intriguing world of South African cartooning, and of the social reality that is the subject of their work.

A CELEBRATION OF JOJO AND OTHER CHARACTERS – A THINK!FEST EXHIBITION LEN SAK, NANDA SOOBBEN and JESSE BREYTENBACH share a selection of their work with Festinos at the Eden Grove Complex. Open daily between 09:00 and 18:00. LEN SAK knew from the age of 11 that he wanted to be a cartoonist. He was born in Port Elizabeth, and moved to Johannesburg when he was 20, after trying what his father wanted him to do: a degree at Rhodes University. While at Rhodes he did illustrations for the Rhodes student magazine, Rhodeo, which served to cement his determination to become a cartoonist. In December 1958, Tom Hopkinson, editor of Drum magazine, and owner-publisher Jim Bailey, asked cartoonist Sak to invent a cartoon character – a sort of township “everyman”. Someone who would be involved in hilarious situations which, at the same time, touched on the reality of the hardships and sorrows of contemporary black urban life. A character that would, ultimately, transcend all the grimness and have “the last laugh”. And so JoJo was born and appeared for the ﬁrst time in Drum in February 1959. Since then he has gone on to feature in The World, Weekend World, The Post, Sunday Post and The Sowetan. Nelson Mandela revealed that while in prison he used to look to JoJo to get a sense of what was happening “outside”. In 2009 JoJo turns 50 years old. NANDA SOOBBEN is currently the cartoonist for the Daily News and the founder and creative director of Durban’s Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Design (CFAD). Nanda has received international recognition for his solo exhibitions of political cartoons in New York and Brazil. His book of cartoons, The Wizard of HOD (House of Delegates) is a collector’s item and part of the African Library Collection of the Smithsonian Institute Museum. While studying in New York he was a member of the prestigious New York-based Cartoon and Writers’ syndication. JESSE BREYTENBACH graduated from Rhodes University in 1995 with an MFA in Printmaking. Since then she has worked as a freelance illustrator, producing illustrations for educational publishers and advertising agencies in a variety of media (including knitting, embroidery, relief prints, drawing and painting). She has collaborated on three short animated ﬁlms, and published weekly and monthly comic strips for SL Magazine. Her debut graphic novel I Don’t Like Chocolate was published by Oshun in 2008.

MAIN PROGRAMME

Author of Stealing Empire: P2P, Intellectual Property and Hip-Hop Subversion, ADAM HAUPT asks “Is hip-hop blinged out?” Critics have made a great deal of the extent to which consumerism has overtaken youth culture, and hip-hop is their favourite case in point. In this lecture, Haupt explores that part of hip-hop that “won’t stop” – hip-hop activism. Haupt is a Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cape Town. He has taught in the English Department at the University of the Western Cape as well as in the English and Drama departments at the University of Stellenbosch. (Sat 11 July 14:30)

ANDY MASON is head of the Comic Art Unit at the newly-established Centre for Comic, Illustrative and Book Arts (CCIBA) at Stellenbosch University. He also works as a cartoonist, book designer, writer and editor. His self-published underground comix, published under the pen name N.D. Mazin, include The Vittokes, The Big Chillum and Blue Mamba. His current strip, Azaniamania, appears weekly on www.wavescape.co.za. His self-published ’zines include PAX (Pre-Azanian Comix) and Mamba Comix. His book What’s So Funny? Under the Skin of South African Cartooning (Double Storey Books), will be published in 2009. (Fri 10 July 17:00)

SO[U]LE EXCLUSIVE MC’S At some stage in life we all go through a period of reﬂection, where we examine the journey we have travelled. In So[u]le, the symbol of a shoe and/ or shoes plays an important role in deﬁning that journey. The main character uses different shoes to tell her story by associating different pairs with her memories in life. Her journey is juxtaposed with how she sees her shoes and more importantly, herself in her shoes. So[u]le challenges several theatrical conventions in parallel with questioning some notions that have been planted in humanity’s thinking by society. Written and directed by Clive Mathibe

COLOUR BLIND VICTORY SONQABA THEATRE COMPANY The journey to a rainbow nation is very rough. For many years we’ve lived apart which makes it hard for us to understand each other. This is a story of a racially mixed family, a black husband, a white wife, a white daughter and a black daughter from previous marriages, and a coloured daughter. Through this family we explore how South Africans are battling to form the so-called “Rainbow Nation” with our apartheid hangover. This is also a reﬂection of how the ‘Born Free’ generation see the world today. Written and directed by Bongani Linda Featuring Martina Griller, Vusi Mdaka and Claudine Ullma

A thorough research into the aspects of the most threatening phobia – fears of the known threats of learners and parents in South African schools. Against this background of uncertainty, criminality rears its ugly head, infiltrating the minds of future learners and rendering them uncooperative even to rational thinking. In this drama, a priest, a police officer, the Mayor and the community try to come to terms with this scourge. “A gripping, drama about the ups and downs of life and the display of courage to fight for hope” – Thulani Nika.

Last year’s production, The Lost Chapter of My Xhosa Genesis, revealed a lot about the AmaXhosa history. It left the audience debating and questioning themselves about their origins. In My Xhosa, those questions and debates are answered but still more are raised. The play, diligently researched, tells of the war between King Ngqika and King Ndlambe and the frontier wars. It asks what sparked the rumours of King Sandile’s removal from the Kingdom – is he now not a legitimate king? This is a theatre piece that tells true stories with raw feelings and also suggests new directions for the future in order to keep the legacy YobuXhosa.

NAC SCRIPT READING FESTIVAL SO YOU THINK YOU CAN WRITE This Script Reading Festival provides an opportunity for ﬁrst-time writers to have their work interrogated by experts who will then recommend them to the National Arts Council (NAC) for funding. The NAC has realised that they cannot continue to be seen as a funding agent only, but must also be proactive in crafting new ideas that are backed by sound programmes having a clear growth path. Writing skills are but one of those areas of concern and we hope the Script Reading Festival will assist in improving theatre production quality, particularly amongst ﬁrst-time writers, and that it will also unearth new work. The programme, aptly titled, “So you think you can write”, will assist in providing new and aspirant writers an opportunity to learn the craft through mentorship. This is also an opportunity for producers to spot new talent and works and thereby form partnerships with the NAC in its funded projects in producing theatre of excellence. It is the intention of the NAC to make this a feature of the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown, and provincial arts festivals in an endeavour to continue to create life enhancing opportunities and realise growth potential through NAC funding. It is hoped that this, as one of the NAC interventions, will stimulate the creative industry and allow many to come into the mainstream. Scripts will be read by professional actors under direction. Entry to performances is FREE and Festival goers, visitors, artists and arts practitioners are all encouraged to attend. All readings will be followed by a discussion period of approximately 30 minutes.

SUPPORTED BY THE REPRESENTATION OF FLANDERS Step into the literary world of four writers who are the ﬁrst winners of the National Arts Festival’s Writing Beyond the Fringe project. JAMES CAIRNS offers a satirical look at the new South Africa using a clever narrative and a cell phone conversation between two lovers which borders on the zany and funny Theatre of the Absurd. BRINK SCHOLTZ narrates a beautiful and lyrical feminist meditation, seemingly on landscape, but subtly delving into a troublesome father-daughter relationship. KURT EGELHOF’S story captures the atmosphere of the seventies and eighties, and the un-thought-through choices of two students who are rebels without a cause. PHILLIPPA YAA DE VILLIERS uses a mixture of prose and verse in a personal narrative that unfolds in the midst of the racial and gender conundrums of South Africa. Writing Beyond the Fringe aims to offer South African writers an opportunity to extend their work to newer international audiences through digital media and through participation in an international literary exchange. The four winners will be joined at the Festival by South African author, Niq Mhlongo and Belgium author Jeff Aerts in this series of readings and conversations. The project is supported by the Representation of Flanders and is a partnership between the National Arts Festival and the Belgianbased Possa Porta Festival and the VlaamsNederlands Huis DeBuren.
