Various methodologies on theatrical events and festivalisation are integrated into a devised model. The devised model offers a clear and comprehensive understanding of the numerous processes and structures that play significant roles in the production and experience of a theatrical event or festival. The devised model is utilised to investigate and analyse the trends and practices of Theatre for Young People internationally (specifically Australia) and locally. The devised model allows the study to highlight certain strengths, opportunities, challenges and shortcomings of the different industries. Through comparing the local trends and practices with those of the international Theatre for Young People industries, areas of development are identified.

    DIE OPKOMS VAN AFRIKAANSE ROCK EN DIE LITERÊRE STATUS VAN LIRIEKE, MET SPESIFIEKE VERWYSING NA FOKOFPOLISIEKAR ANNIE ELIZABETH KLOPPER Tesis ingelewer ter gedeeltelike voldoening aan die vereistes vir die graad van Magister in die Lettere en Sosiale Wetenskappe aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch Studieleier: PROF PH FOSTER (Departement Afrikaans en Nederlands) Medestudieleier: PROF AM GRUNDLINGH (Departement Geskiedenis) MAART 2009 ii VERKLARING Deur hierdie tesis elektronies in te lewer, verklaar ek dat die geheel van die werk hierin vervat, my eie, oorspronklike werk is, dat ek die outeursregeienaar daarvan is (behalwe tot die mate uitdruklik anders aangedui) en dat ek dit nie vantevore, in die geheel of gedeeltelik, ter verkryging van enige kwalifikasie aangebied het nie . Datum: 4 Maart 2009 Kopiereg © 2009 Universiteit Stellenbosch Alle regte voorbehou iii OPSOMMING Die doel van hierdie studie is om die opkoms van Afrikaanse rock en die literêre status van Afrikaanse rocklirieke te ondersoek, met Fokofpolisiekar as voorbeeld. Daar word nagespoor hoe die spesifieke sosiopolitieke konteks waarbinne Afrikaanse rock ontwikkel, die lirieke en styl daarvan beïnvloed. Afleidings word gemaak oor die implikasies wat Afrikaanse rock inhou ten opsigte van die Afrikanerjeug se identiteit in die nuwe millennium. Ter demonstrasie van hierdie interdissiplinêre en kon- tekstuele ondersoek, word ’n gevallestudie onderneem van die Afrikaanse punkrock- groep Fokofpolisiekar. Nie net word gekyk na die ontstaan en invloed van die groep nie, maar 'n beduidende deel van die tesis word bestee aan hul lirieke, wat vanuit ’n literêre oogpunt beskou en ondersoek word. In die proses kom sekere vrae met betrekking tot die posisie van lirieke in die Afrikaanse literêre sisteem onder die loep.

  • How Ninja from Die Antwoord Performs South African White Masculinities Through the Digital Archive
    ZEF AS PERFORMANCE ART ON THE ‘INTERWEB’: How Ninja from Die Antwoord performs South African white masculinities through the digital archive by Esther Alet Rossouw Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MAGISTER ARTIUM in the Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Supervisor: Dr M Taub AUGUST 2015 1 ABSTRACT The experience of South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord’s digital archive of online videos is one that, in this study, is interpreted as performance art. This interpretation provides a reading of the character Ninja as a performance of South African white masculinities, which places Die Antwoord’s work within identity discourse. The resurgence of the discussion and practice of performance art in the past thirty years has led some observers to suggest that Die Antwoord’s questionable work may be performance art. This study investigates a reconfiguration of the notion of performance art in online video. This is done through an interrogation of notions of risk, a conceptual dimension of ideas, audience participation and digital liveness. The character Ninja performs notions of South African white masculinities in their music videos, interviews and short film Umshini Wam which raises questions of representation. Based on the critical reading of Die Antwoord’s online video performance art, this dissertation explores notions of Zef, freakery, the abject, new ethnicities, and racechanges, as related to the research field of whiteness, to interpret Ninja’s performance of whiteness. A gendered reading of Die Antwoord’s digital archive is used to determine how hegemonic masculinities are performed by Ninja. It is determined that through their parodic performance art, Die Antwoord creates a transformative intervention through which stagnant notions of South African white masculinity may be reconfigured.

  • Die Liedtekste Van Bok Van Blerk, Fokofpolisiekar, the Buckfever Underground En Karen Zoid
    AFRIKAANSE LIEDTEKSTE IN KONTEKS: DIE LIEDTEKSTE VAN BOK VAN BLERK, FOKOFPOLISIEKAR, THE BUCKFEVER UNDERGROUND EN KAREN ZOID deur WENDY DESRÉ NELL voorgelê luidens die vereistes vir die graad MAGISTER ARTIUM in die vak AFRIKAANS aan die UNIVERSITEIT VAN SUID-AFRIKA STUDIELEIER: PROF A G VISAGIE MEDESTUDIELEIER: PROF J L COETSER FEBRUARIE 2014 1 OPSOMMING Die doel van hierdie studie is om op die liedtekste van die kunstenaars, Bok van Blerk, Fokofpolisiekar, The Buckfever Underground (en Toast Coetzer) en Karen Zoid te fokus en om te bepaal wat hulle funksie in die eietydse Afrikaanse kultuurlandskap is, en wat hulle rol in die definiëring van kulturele identiteit is. In hierdie studie sal daar ook klem gelê word op die sosiopolitieke faktore wat tot die opbloei van die Afrikaanse musiekbedryf gelei het. Deur die analise van dié kunstenaars se lirieke, sal ek vasstel of hulle wel betekenisvolle werk van literêre gehalte lewer. Ek het spesifiek hierdie musikante gekies omdat hulle jong eietydse musikante is. 2 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to focus on the song texts of artists, Karen Zoid, Fokofpolisiekar, The Buckfever Underground (and Toast Coetzer) and Bok van Blerk and to determine their function in today’s cultural reality, and whether these musicians and their music have an influence on today’s youth and their search for a Cultural Identity. This study will also focus on the socio-political factors that led to the rise of the Afrikaans Music Industry. By analyzing these artists’ lyrics, I want to determine whether they are significant works of literary quality. These musicians were chosen because they are regarded as young contemporary musicians.

    DWR partners with South African drummer Jason Oosthuizen | 1 Jason Oosthuizen and South Africa band Oooth As far as South African drummers are concerned, there are few who can compete with Jason Oosthuizen’s incredible skill and expansive CV. Jason started drumming at the age of four and is a deeply passionate and committed musician, but also understands what it takes to make a successful living as an artist in South Africa. Jason has served as a drummer for some of South Africa’s most successful bands, including One Day Remains, who wrote the theme song for the rugby tri-nations entitled ‘Never say die’. He has recorded two albums with the Van Coke Kartel and has worked with some of the biggest names in South African music including Jack Parow, Fokofpolisiekar, The Black Cat Bones, The Narrow and Die Heuwels Fantasties, among others. In 2018, Jason stepped out from behind his drum-kit and took the frontman position for his own band, Oooth. He has successfully launched a range of enterprises around the brand, including a clothing line, boutique coffee, fine wine and, most importantly, music. In addition to Oooth, Jason has established seven tribute bands, including Guns ‘n Roses & Friends Tribute, Led Zeppelin Tribute, AC/DC vs Deep Purple Tribute and Bob Marley & Lenny Kravitz Tribute, among others. In DWR partners with South African drummer Jason Oosthuizen | 2 addition, Jason has established a signature snare drum range, entitled J.O Drums, which are the first to be made on-site from start to finish in Africa, using African materials.
