Seabrooke’s Theatre at Durban High School will host the
Shakespeare Schools Festival South Africa this weekend.
The Shakespeare Schools Festival South Africa was initiated
and coordinated by Educape, with the aim of providing an equal opportunity
where there are no boundaries for participation and is a fantastic opportunity
for youth seeking opportunities to explore their potential in a fun and
developmental way. The festival will be in its fifth consecutive season and has
reached over 1,000 high school learners and educators in the Western Cape,
Gauteng, Eastern Cape and KZN.
“The dramatic increase in feedback compared to previous
year’s shows that more participants than before are beginning to realise that
access to the arts is a fundamental human right and that theatre can contribute
significantly to human development and motivation,” says Kseniya
Filinova-Bruton, Festival Director for the Shakespeare Schools Festival South
Africa. “We believe that unless children are given the opportunity to fall in
love with the theatre experience at an early age, we will have no theatre
industry in the future.”
The Shakespeare Schools Festival South Africa takes place
tomorrow and Saturday (May 22 & 23) at from 19h00 at Seabrooke’s Theatre, Durban
High School. Tickets R50 at the door.
