The Playhouse Company has announced dates
for auditions for both their 2018 Sundowner Concerts and the Test Driving the
Arts programmes.
Over the years, the Sundowner programme has
become a regular feature on Durban’s arts calendar. Some of the names featured
on the current Sundowner programme include well-known stars such as the Khaya Dladla,
Lu Dlamini, Ndu Shezi, Dani Foster Trio, Platform Jazz, Tutti Grooves, Natalie
Rungan, Solomon Willy, Mbuso Khoza and Heels Over Head among others. If you fancy being counted alongside these
names, auditions for the 2018 Sundowner programme will be held at the Playhouse
on September 28, 2017
Meanwhile, upcoming artists will be given
an opportunity to showcase their talent through the Test Driving the Arts
programme which provides a space for them show off their skills during lunch-time
shows at the Playhouse. Auditions for the Test Driving the Arts programme will
be held from September 29 to 30, 2017.
The Test Driving the Arts programme
includes poetry and musical performances across a wide-ranging number of
genres. This means that whether you are an upcoming Jazz, Maskandi, Gospel,
Kwaito, Afro Reggae, Imfene, Pantsula, or Hip Hop artist, this is your chance
to showcase your skills in a public space.
