PANSA has
announced that it is to produce a coffee table book of South African dance.
With this in mind, PANSA is calling for contributions of both text and photos. Voluntary
contributions to this historic venture will be greatly appreciated, and
acknowledged in the book.
Required content
includes, but is not limited to written
contributions, in the form of history of dance organisations, anecdotes of
leading personalities, brief biographies of important and ground-breaking dance
practitioners, reviews of major productions, or any similar written content.
Of great value would be high-resolution digital images of
dancers, choreographers, or dance productions as well as insights
into the history of contemporary dance in South Africa, important milestones
and personalities, or any other content that you think might be relevant.
All photographs,
paragraphs and contributions of another nature will be acknowledged in the
book. “So pull out your photographs, old or new, of personal and professional
dance and dancers for possible inclusion in this historic publication,” says PANSA.
“While we cannot guarantee that every photograph or line of text will be
included, all contributions will be treated with honour and accorded the care
and attention they deserve.”
By sending the
images and/or text to PANSA for inclusion in the book, you warrant the
following:
