Workshops

New ideas for a newer festival

Community & Professional Workshops, talks, & seminar

In 2010, we plan on rolling out a comprehensive community building workshop programme that will cover 8-12 year olds, the Sabela Summer School 15-24 (part of the Beyond Ibumba Project) and special programmes for the established over 25 artists. The workshops and community team has been getting different proposals from organisations and individual practitioners that we have decided to explore this year.

The workshop packages includes among others:

  1. Ibumba Youth Theatre Project
  2. Community Participatory Video production
  3. All Stake-Holders Arts Seminar
  4. Drums of Peace Resonance workshop
  5. Sound, Lighting, and systems workshop
  6. The Green Room (theatre skills workshops)

Beyond Ibumba Workshops Programme 2010

Sabela Summer School — “Dansa madansani”

Africa is the world of expression, colours, adventures, music, warmth, and creative tools. Scholars would argue that it is the birthplace of music and dance. We profess that Africa IS the cradle of dance. Sabela Summer School is an educational initiative devised by Butshilo Nleya that focuses on equipping young people between 15-24 years old with creative thinking skills, performing arts skills, and business ethics. The first pilot ran in 2009 during the Ibumba International Festival and featured 18 young people who took part and covered Drama, Music, Dance and Arts business management short courses. The vision of the Sabela Summer School is to set up an independent Bulawayo based Institute of performing arts that will bridge the gap between secondary education and arts tertiary education and the arts industry. The institution aims to churn out a different artiste for Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and the world at large who is globally aware, business literate, creative, open minded, technological, and original.

Eligibility

Young people have to be 15–24 years old. Current target is O level candidates and A level students of varying dance capabilities, experience and styles and select young/amateur artistes from different companies in Bulawayo.

Total cast number is 16. This will be split between students and semi-professional performers. They will be drawn from different schools, groups and general public. A scouting team will select specific artists from the groups and audition the schools together with anyone who will see the adverts and come for the audition.

Recruitment

This year’s recruitment entails the proven methods and some specific techniques. With the total number being 16, we are opening up the school to amateur dancers and out of school youths or students in their final year of secondary or high school with a passion for dance that would have been recommended by the school.
