As a strategic BBRA project, this portfolio is a heritage initiative to promote diverse community cultural offerings. We wish to establish a register of the cultural offerings currently available in Betty’s Bay. Please contact me on email at bettysbayratepayers@gmail.com, or on my cell phone (083 427 3706) – by call, SMS, or WhatsApp – to inform me of any directly or indirectly drama or theatre related offerings. We wish to know about you in order to be of assistance to you and to our community.
Personally, I offer weekly physical theatre classes which are going from strength to strength. The classes are every Thursday from 15H00 -17H00 at Crassula Hall.
Exciting news is that we are currently working towards a physical theatre performance called On the Shore/Langs die Kuslyn.
It is inspired by the wild coastline of Betty’s Bay, where bodies, sand and crashing waves, sea bamboo and shoreline wildlife meet.
Through movement and physical imagery, performers embody the intertidal zone, the swaying sea bamboo, the sharp piping sounds of the oystercatchers and the resilient spirit of the penguins.
This piece is a visceral tribute to the edge of the sea.
It will take place on 5 December at 15H00 at Crassula Hall.
Further detail regarding this performance will be distributed via the BBRA Whatsapp groups in due course
I offer Drama and improvisation classes once every month at Crassula Hall. The class in November will be on Wednesday 25 November from 11H00-12H30. Working towards performances would be lovely, but mainly I wish to create a space for individuals to explore creative ways to use one’s voice and body, and to express thoughts and ideas; and I plan to include enhancing skills in reading, storytelling (especially to children), and public speaking skills.
