Thinking Through Food in South Africa
When we sit at individual or communal tables, we consider each other and our senses before taking a single bite. We think about what brought us to the table, who we are eating with, what meal will be served and possibly even where the food is from. South Africa is home to diverse cultures, histories, food heritages, culinary landscapes, food-growing and food-buying environments that collectively spice the food eaten and enjoyed by individuals and…
The theatre of development
This article explores performance within development spaces. Dramaturgy, a concept deriving from theatre studies, can be understood as an analytical lens that examines the various roles and performances of different ‘actors’ in particular social spaces. While there is literature exploring the use of the arts, such as applied theatre and dance, in development interventions, this article looks at the roles, performances and actors in development sp…
The South African live events, technical and production services industry’s market position and Covid-19 funding implications
COVID-19 has had a significant economic impact on a global scale. The national lockdown, enacted through the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002, disrupted multiple economic activities, including that of the Creative and Cultural industries. In the performance and celebrations domain, under which live events (.i.e., theatre and performance) and technical production services (i.e., technical support and services for theatre and performance) resort,…
Embracing Aporia
This article explores the role of play and playfulness—as both methodological and analytical tools—in research on social violence. While play may seem antithetical to both discussions on methods and to studying social violence, we found that actually paying attention to such elements was in fact very productive. This article draws on a series of participatory workshops that engaged theater, dance, and comedy, which were held in Sierra Leone in 20…
The mediality of pre-recorded digital performing arts on YouTube
This article assessed the efficacy of a skills-development module in pre-recorded digital performing arts (PRDPA) that was presented as an online workshop within the South African educational paradigm. The PRDPA module embraces the democratization of online media that the internet, in specific YouTube offers. PRDPA skills may enable young performers to introduce themselves to an online audience, promote themselves as performing artists and facili…
Embodied knowledge(s), embodied pedagogies and performance
I shall reconsider human knowledge by starting from the fact that we can know more than we can tell. (Polanyi 1967, p.4)
Storying worlds
This article explores the ways in which playback theatre was used to interrogate the views of adolescents on their social context(s) and establish what the personal and dominant discourses operating in their views were. Playback theatre, with its focus on reframing personal stories to generate new perspectives on these stories, was an appropriate tool to do so. By referring to participants’ reflections, we demonstrate how playback theatre interve…
Exploring the potential of the process drama convention of dramatised poetry to enhance anger-management skills in adolescent girls
This article investigates the way the methodology of process drama, and specifically the convention of dramatised poetry, can enhance the anger-management skills of adolescent girls. The article presents findings from a recent study that set out to teach anger-management skills to adolescent girls using process drama conventions. The argument explores the notion of process drama propounded by the prominent applied drama scholar Cecily O'Neill (19…
Embodied knowledges
While the general contours of virtuosity are the same across media, every sacred monster is unique; every technique organizes its own monstrosity, and every community engages its virtuoso monsters on its own terms (Hamera 2007: 42)
(Re)Storying the Self
This paper investigates the ways in which the use of performative inquiry can shift notions of knowledge as situated to knowledge as experiential, embodied and an in situ encounter in the domain of performance studies. Specifically, this paper will focus on \nunderstandings of knowledge(s) around the articulation and construction of identity with \nparticular reference to the production Shiftings (2007). Shiftings was conceptualised as an extensi…
The 2007 Paddy Crean Art of the Sword Stage Combat Workshop and Symposium—December 31, 2006–January 06, 2007, Banff Centre for the Arts
The symposium focused on exploring historical martial arts, on contemporary movement disciplines that inform the practice of stage combat, and the technologies currently in use in the entertainment industry. This well-attended symposium drew a global body of presenters and participants (a total of about 200 people) and offered a platform for stage combat practitioners, historians and scholars to share and exchange research, methodological approac…
Mind the Gap
The authors explored the ways in which the changes in the South African educational dispensation impact on the work of educators within a Drama department in the Higher Education and Training band (HET) in South Africa. These changes include a focus on competencies and critical outcomes across learning areas and across the qualification bands identified by the new National Qualifications Framework
