Now in its second year, the Funda School Festival competition
will be held tomorrow (August 1) at 10h00 at Ekhaya Multi Arts Centre. The 2014
theme links with the 20 Years of Democracy.
The aim of the competition is to encourage and promote
community involvement through the arts by holding the first annual Schools
Drama Festival. This will help students get involved in their communities, teach
students the impact of drama in society and encourage the study of drama as a
career amongst students. A further objective is to provide local artists with the
opportunity to display their work & talents.
The Funda School Drama Festival encourages primary and
secondary schools to develop drama as a regular co-curricular activity. The
Festival this year can accommodate a maximum of 30 drama groups.
Each school enters with a play of maximum 20 minutes. There
will be three winning prizes for the schools each accompanied by the trophy and
certificates. There will be individual prizes for best outstanding performers.
Some 18 high schools are expected. Already the winner of
Hlabisa schools is in the finals and Funda is expecting five schools from UGU.
