    YESTERDAY • TODAY • TOMORROW ARTSCAPE THEATRE CENTRE | 1 OUR THEME: YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW “… in order to celebrate the achievements over the past 50 years, we need to be mindful of how it came about, build on the work of those that came before us, and lead the way to a future that is even more inclusive, more equitable and more just – a constant strife.” – Marlene le Roux Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Rajesh Jock CHAIRPERSON Artscape Theatre Centre Artscape Theatre Centre (formally the Nico Malan Theatre) has made major advances since its inception in 1971. Relying on a strong commitment from the National Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, the theatre now celebrates its Golden Anniversary! Entertainment, arts and culture contributes to the vibrancy, heritage and activation of the Cape Town Metropolitan City as well as the Western Cape Province, and plays an important role in tourism and economic growth. Since being renamed circa 1999, Artscape has provided a modern, contemporary and world-class regional venue supporting arts and culture, and especially local talent. Artscape represents a very special organisation, comprising committed professionals, who are dedicated to the advancement of many different local and international productions in the City of Cape Town and many other parts of the Western Cape Province. Combined with the passion and commitment of major stakeholders both nationally and provincially, Artscape has become a home for all in the arts and will continue to embrace the diverse communities of the Western Cape through performers and patrons. I thank and congratulate everyone who has, over many years, dedicated their expertise, time, effort and passion to continually building this wonderful organisation and making it what it is today.

Morale : the year started off well for us with an impressive stall during Orientation Week, but the procedure for incorporating new members failed. Our first GB was a slight disaster which resulted in old members (particularly those in leadership positions^)} feeling very low and un-inspired. With Gary's assistance we held an 'old members' meeting to plan our term more thoroughly as well as to boost morale. Our spirits were up again after our participation in the Rag procession and a very successful second GB. The highlight of the term (internally) was our weekend away to plan the national campaign. It resulted in all members feeling excited and enthusiastic about our potential to be an effective, cohesive campaign on c a m p u s . Security : the constant flow of activists through ECC made it fairly difficult to develop a security consciousness. After a session on security at the weekend away, members understood the need to practise security measures and are taking it seriously; there was even a request for a guidelines/tasks list to be written up in the event of activists being detained.

  • Sample Application Narratives
    Nov 2018 Under the Freedom of Information Act, agencies are required to proactively disclose frequently requested records. Often the National Endowment for the Arts receives requests for examples of funded grant proposals for various disciplines. In response, the NEA is providing examples of the “Project Information” also called the ”narrative” for five successful Arts Education projects that received NEA funding. The selected examples are not the entire funded grant proposal and only contain the grant narrative and selected portions. In addition, certain portions may have been redacted to protect the privacy interests of an individual and/or to protect confidential commercial and financial information and/or to protect copyrighted materials. The following narratives have been selected as examples because they represent a diversity of project types and are well written. Although each project was funded by the NEA, please note that nothing should be inferred about the ranking of each application within its respective applicant pool. We hope that you will find these records useful as examples of well written narratives. However please keep in mind that because each project is unique, these narratives should be used as references, rather than templates. If you are preparing your own application and have any questions, please contact the appropriate program office. You may also find additional information regarding the grant application process on our website at Apply for a Grant | NEA .

  • Western Cape Jazz Legends
    Western Cape Jazz Legends Foreword The Western Cape Jazz legends which unveiled on 17 March 2011 pays homage to the rich jazz heritage of the Western Cape. The publishing of the Western Cape Jazz Legends Booklet gives a wider audience access to an appreciation of the contribution of these musicians who often plied their trade under the most difficult circumstances and with very little material reward. The short biographies are informed by existing literature and interviews conducted with family members. The list is by no means comprehensive but it does indicate our resolve to give homage, to acknowledge, to preserve and to promote the rich musical heritage of the Western Cape. Documenting our musical history not only ensures that the impact of the role of these legends on the musical landscape of the Western Cape is captured for posterity, but also that their stories serve as a source of inspiration to aspiring musicians. This booklet represents an important step towards the building of a socially inclusive Western Cape. These Jazz Legends united us around our common love for music and the unique sounds of Cape Town Jazz. Let’s celebrate their achievement and resolve that we will continue to build on this initiative to acknowledge our musicians who created musical melodies which filled us with joy, often leaving us in awe of their amazing talent and with a deep sense of self-worth and cultural warmth. Dr IH Meyer Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western cape Government. Western Cape Jazz Legends 1 2 Western Cape Jazz Legends IntroductIon The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport has embedded in its vision, “… A socially cohesive and creative Western Cape.” The arts and culture component of the department has embraced this vision and the Western Cape Jazz Legends project is reflective thereof.
