Head for Catalina Theatre on Monday evening (November 11) if
you are looking for entertainment for a function, team-builder, social event or
party. Also, if you are a young artist who would like to showcase your talents
and skills. Or if you are keen to check out a variety of new acts ...
Blue Monday Platform is a forum to encourage new performing
artists to explore, create and innovate. It is ideal for artists about to
embark on their career to get some exposure. It is a platform that operates on
a basic "open mic" theory where the Platform is yours for up to 15
minutes. Participants can perform anything from poetry to rap, sketches to play
excerpts, mime to music.
The Blue Monday Platform is an initiative of PANSA – the
Performing Arts Network of SA – which focuses on creating opportunities and
support to the professional and newly-professional echelons of the performing
arts industry.
The forum is on a mission to change the perception of arts,
get newcomers involved in the industry and new audiences into theatre foyers,
and also as a showcase for eventors, theatre managers and the public to see
what is out there and available. The aim is to make theatre universal,
accessible and appropriate for all walks of life - and appealing and challenging
to newcomers, particularly the youth - to engage with their culture.
The next PANSA Blue Monday Platform takes place on Monday (November
11) from 18h00 at Catalina Theatre, Wilsons Wharf. Entry is free and all are
welcome. The bar is open, and it is a perfect opportunity for networking. For
