This workshop is aimed at theatre-makers, directors, and performers, and will offer some insight into a theatre-making practice from a different global context.
South Africa’s theatre scene is known by key works like WOZA ALBERT, The Island, and Sophiatown – all of which drew from the theatre-making practices developed in the 60s and 70s that came as a result of the political apartheid imposed.
Importantly, this is NOT a South African theatre-making workshop. This does not yet exist in our context as there are so many streams, influences and styles present across our context. It is, however, a theatre-making workshop that highlight some of the common theatre making practices from the broader South African Theatre making scene.
