Creative Feel is ‘pretty in pink’ this June. But don’t judge
this magazine by just its cover ....
Whether you’re making the big trek to see what's setting the
stages of Grahamstown alight, or keeping the home fires burning; the June issue
of Creative Feel has something to offer.
If you’re preparing to hit the streets of Grahamstown festino-style
this July, and want to get some behind-the-scenes info to help you wade through
the programme; or will be donning your gloves and scarf and curling up beside
the fire with a serious case of FOMO instead; then this month’s issue of
Creative Feel is the place to find out what's hot on and off the country’s
stages, including interviews with some of this year’s top National Arts
Festival acts.
The work produced by the Standard Bank Young Artist Award
winners is undoubtedly a highlight of the Festival programme each year. Actress
Jennifer Steyn is ‘pretty in pink’ on the cover, in Christiaan Olwagen’s
adaptation of Ibsen’s iconic A Dolls
House. Olwagen chats to Nondumiso Msimanga about his choices, and about
what it means to be given a platform to ‘play’.
The country’s most famous white woman, Evita Bezuidenhout
will be in attendance as an honoured guest at this year’s Festival. Creative
Feel’s Editor-in-Chief Lore Watterson speaks to Pieter Dirk Uys who will be
presenting an extensive repertoire in Grahamstown this year, in honour of his
70th birthday, and 20th appearance at the Festival.
If you haven’t got your ticket for Dylan Moran, you had best
move fast. With an extra show already added, there are a smattering of seats
remaining across the three performances scheduled for this Irish comic and
writer’s South African debut.
In addition to an overview of what’s hot on the country’s
stages this year, particularly for theatre, dance, opera and at the
ever-popular Standard Bank Jazz Festival; readers can get the lowdown on what
to expect from the Festival’s visual arts offering. The publication also tips
its hats to the legend Frank Sinatra, born 100 years ago this year; find out
what inspires the CEO of Gauteng Opera, Marcus Desando; and consider which
newly-released books and CDs to add to your collections.
