Ethekwini Municipality Department of Arts
and Living Cultures which is under Parks, Recreation and Culture Unit, is
inviting interested groups and individuals from eThekwini who are taking
productions to the 2017 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown to apply to the
department for financial and marketing support.
As part of the city’s continued commitment
to ensure that Durban has a meaningful presence at the National Arts Festival
(NAF), it selects a comprehensive range of productions to support and assist.
The application process is open to groups
and individuals who have already registered and have been approved to perform on
the fringe at Grahamstown. There are no criteria restricting the genre of
productions to be supported: they can be dance, musical theatre, drama, comedy,
physical theatre, et cetera.
Selected productions will receive city
support towards their transport, accommodation and marketing costs.
To be considered, interested candidates
need to send in a comprehensive motivation – including their approval reference
number from NAF, confirmed performance dates, times and designated performance
venue, as well as a detailed proposal about the production to be staged, and
information about the production company, including their history and
experience.
A letter or letters of reference and
support material about their company’s previous work would be an advantage.
The 2017 National Arts Festival will be
held from June 29 to July 9 in Grahamstown, and promises to be another amazing
celebration of the best in performance and visual arts in South Africa.
Applications must be hand delivered to 99
Umgeni Road, Durban on or before March 31 at 16h00.
