The Playhouse Company has announced
audition dates for the genres of Dance, Poetry, Music, Storytelling and Theatre
performance, for the 2018 Okwethu Community Outreach Festival.
This is open to groups and individuals. The
festival will be held at Umlazi Cinema on December 14, 2018.
This outreach initiative is an annual event
that kicks off in Umlazi Township, but is open for all KwaZulu-Natal artists
who would like to participate. The festival will rotate annually to all corners
of the province every December. The Playhouse Company is committed to
unleashing new talent and exposing young artists to training through the many
development programmes offered by the institution, which will ultimately
empower them to perform on Playhouse stages.
The selected groups or individuals will be
allocated mentors in preparation for the festival. Aspirants who wish to
participate in the festival must register for auditions. Registration forms are
available at the Playhouse, or can be downloaded from the Playhouse Company’s
website at www.playhousecompany.com
The auditions will be held at Umlazi Cinema
on November 29, 2018, from 09h00 to 17h00. Only groups or individuals who have
registered will be allowed to audition. The duration for auditions will be five
minutes or less. NB: no bands are allowed to participate in auditions or
festival.
