  • Reply: 'Too Colonial' Cape Town City Ballet Finds New Home
    29 March 2017 Re: ‘Too colonial’ Cape Town City Ballet finds new home Good day, Your article titled “‘Too colonial’ Cape Town City Ballet finds new home” refers. The article claims that Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB) was “kicked out of its Base at the University of Cape Town for being “too colonial”” and reports this as a fact. This is, in fact, the second time this claim has Been reported as a fact By Times Media. Despite this claim, UCT was not offered the right to reply in an article that turned out to be unbalanced and unfair. In NovemBer 2016, a different journalist claimed that CTCB was “booted out of its University of Cape Town premises Because Ballet is “Eurocentric and colonial””. UCT provided a detailed response to this claim, which we are again providing. There is certainly no truth to the claim that “#FeesMustFall protesters demanded that the ballet company Be removed from UCT last year” as reported in this latest article. UCT’s lease agreement with CTCB for studio space expired on 31 December 2016. The lease had been under discussion for almost two years, as UCT had already been taking in larger numBers in our dance courses – which include classical Ballet, as well as choreographic studies and dance teaching methods. The space constraints for UCT dance courses had already reached a tipping point as early as 2014. At the Beginning of 2016, UCT took the proactive step of approaching the Cape Town municipality aBout the possiBle use of an alternate venue for CTCB. Discussions around the lease agreement, and UCT’s steps to proactively arrive at a possiBle solution, Began long Before the spate of protests on campus last year.

    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2013/14 The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) con- tinues to make signifi cant strides in positioning Arts and the cultural and creative industries as one of the main drivers of economic growth and job crea- tion in South Africa. The success of the arts and culture sector is also reliant on effective governance, infra- Culture structure and skills development, partnerships, research, sharing of information and enterprise development. In this context, the department is committed to supporting a number of emergent shifts in the arts, culture and heritage sector over the next fi ve years. These shifts have the potential to increase the growth and development of the sector signifi cantly. They include addressing a number of inade- quacies in the policy and regulatory environment to strengthen governance in the sector, increase investment and improve information and sta- tistics for more effective planning and decision - making. The DAC is strengthening co - operation with a range of public and private sector institu- tions and stakeholders. The development and implementation of the Mzansi Golden Economy Strategy is an example of how to mobilise the resources of all stakeholders in the sector. Measures to promote the arts include: • providing fi nancial, as well as information and communication technology support to artists to enable the creation of works expressing national creativity, while opening space for vibrant debate • strengthening the Independent Communica- tions Authority of South Africa’s mandate for nation - building and value inculcation • incentivising commercial distribution networks to distribute and/or host art • developing and implementing plans for a more effective arts and culture curriculum in schools with appropriate educator support • supporting income-smoothing for artists in a special unemployment insurance scheme and evaluating funding models for such initiatives • developing sectoral determination legislation frameworks to protect arts-sector employees.

How and when did you decide that this is what you love and want to pursue as a career? “I grew up knowing that music was something I wanted to do. The realisation, however, sparked when I decided to go study at The National School of the Arts. I had always been a singer, but it all became real when I packed up my bags and went to Johannesburg. I believe there’s magic in me to share with the world.” What excites you most about Festival? “Togetherness. I’ve been coming here since 2010 when I first met The Soil.
