    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.

Violence prevention strategies are actively used in efforts to rehabilitate offenders during their incarceration, and are intended to prepare them for reintegration into society and to prevent recidivism. Given the lack of research undertaken on violence prevention strategies in the gang-ridden context of Cape Town, South Africa, this dissertation looks at a prison intervention programme, Help I am Free, that uses performance arts as a case study to investigate the ​ potential impacts of such intervention strategies.
