from 6-9 August 2015 at the Artscape Theatre Centre. The City of Cape Town is proud of its association with Artscape in this very important initiative and it is our wish that together we can restore the humanity and dignity for the many festival participants and attendants. The stage productions and activities included in the programme align with the overall theme, Humanity, and serves to reiterate that all citizens of our beautiful city have a right to be treated equally and with dignity. By engaging in meaningful discussions and using the arts as the platform, let’s together join hands to strengthen our city, country and continent where each person is free, equal and secure! Patricia De Lille Executive Mayor of Cape Town 2 ARTSCAPE WOMEN/HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL The 9th Artscape Women’s Humanity Arts Festival takes place at Artscape Theatre Centre from 6-9 August 2015. The theme of the festival is HUMANITY. This year we celebrate Humanity by partnering with organisations such as The Black Sash who celebrate their 60th anniversary and launch the latest publication by author and long-time Black Sash member, Mary Burton. Stage productions to be showcased this year in the Artscape Arena are Bittersoet on 31 July and 1 August. Performed and produced by Elsabé Daneel, this English translation of the wellknown work is about five women balancing their buoyancy with the curve balls of life. Cold Case, on 6 & 7 August is a tribute to Dulcie September, who was assassinated in 1988 while opening the ANC’s Paris office. This highly acclaimed work is produced and performed by actress, Denise Newman and directed by Basil Appollis. From the 8–15 August, Henrietta with Love explores the meaning of many things in Henrietta’s life and the one day that changed everything. A new work Written by Peter Voges for Lee-Ann van Rooi who plays the role of Henrietta, this story resonates with that of Dulcie September’s as both have their roots in Athlone, Cape Town and depicts the lives of Coloured women. In the Artscape Theatre, on 6 August Trapped merges visual art, sound dialogue and dance as three artists pioneer integrated techniques with mixed abilities. The work is autobiographical and includes well-known deaf dancer choreographer Andile Vellem and wheelchair dancer Nadine McKenzie Appollis - a celebration of the human spirit and the ability of persons with disability, directed by Themba Mbuli. Ashed on 7 August, mirrors the evolution of South African citizens, looking at ourselves as a nation, where did we come from, where we are now, and where are we heading. Die Glas Ennie Draad, on the 8th August is based on a true story from one of South Africa’s most notorious ganglands is an on-stage demonstration of how communities are reconstructed and the healing processes which can be achieved through dialogue. The festival programme will include a Humanity Walk commencing at the District Six Homecoming Centre and end at Artscape. This interactive initiative gives ‘Walkers’ the opportunity to communicate with someone they don’t know and build a bridge of dialogue. Join us and celebrate the Women’s Humanity Arts Festival. Let’s build our communities together. Marlene Le Roux DIRECTOR: AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION ARTSCAPE WOMEN/HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL 3 Festival Icons DULCIE SEPTEMBER Dulcie September was a strong and feisty woman who threw her weight behind the resistance movement. In an era when women were not expected to voice their opinions, Dulcie was very vocal about the injustices of apartheid. This led to her five year imprisonment and a further five years under banning orders, after which she chose exile over house arrest. She continued her work in the UK and Europe where in 1988 she was assassinated in France. Her comrades in London and Paris fondly remember her insistence of an Afrikaans, fish & chips Friday that became a ritual in her Paris home. Jacqueline Derens, head of the anti apartheid movement in Paris remembers a no-nonsense, straight talking soldier whose determination for liberation and equality could not be swayed. As recent as May 2012 a Cape Times article about the assassinated ANC activist still had the headline: “Who Killed Dulcie September”? Twenty-seven years after the assassination no-one has taken responsibility for her death and speculation today is as rife as it was then. Did the five bullets to her head come from a French mercenary? Was it the South African death squads operating in Paris? Or as Aziz Pahad (former deputy minister of foreign affairs) said in a 2011 documentary that Dulcie was shot because of her knowledge of nuclear military trade between South Africa and France. To this day her killers have not been brought to book. 4 ARTSCAPE WOMEN/HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL Thom Pier ce- photo In May 2015 the Black Sash celebrated its 60th anniversary – sixty years of service to South Africa and its people. For the first forty years it was an organisation of volunteers, mainly white women opposed to apartheid, its pass laws and its many injustices. For the most recent twenty years it has been a professionally-managed non-profit organisation, carrying forward the work, the vision and the values of rigorous work for human rights, including economic and social rights, with a special focus on how such issues affect women. Mary Burton, who been part of it in various capacities and is currently one of its trustees, has written about the history of this organisation, its members, its protests, and its campaigns, and how it has contributed to building the new society. grapher MARY BURTON PETER VOGES I received a good education with both primary and high school levels. I trained as a teacher and taught successfully as a primary school teacher before moving to the Battswood Training School for junior school teaching and ended my teaching career at the now defunct Hewat College of Education. In between I was invited to join the N.A.P Festival committee in 1989 withdrawing in 2004. My portfolio was student theatre. I served on the Fugard and CAP awards panel and was the first ever coloured person at that time in the history of the ATKV to serve on their adjudicators panel for schools drama. BLACK SASH 60TH ANNIVERSARY PHOTO EXHIBITION Date: Time: Venue: 6 August 17:30 Marble Extension Foyer In 2015, the Black Sash is a 60 year old, veteran human rights organisation whose current programmes draw on a rich institutional heritage of advocating for social justice in South Africa. The Sash today is an organisation of diverse South Africans who share an appreciation of the vision of making human rights real and an appreciation of how policy and administration affects people’s lives. The Black Sash currently works in three programmes with an emphasis on the needs of women and children: rights-based information, education and training; community monitoring and advocacy in partnership. Black Sash will install a photographic exhibition displaying the work of the former anti apartheid movement and the Black Sash as a post 1994 democratic dispensation human rights organisation.

The ‘Movie Snaps” studio that began in a building on the edge of the Grand Parade at the start of the Second World War, provides the photographic backdrop of Jewish families in South Africa on the one hand, and on the other, the further annihilation and fragmentation of lives legislated through apartheid in 1948. Positioned opposite the Cape Town General Post Office, photographers snapped thousands of Cape Town residents going about their daily lives, continuing this practice for over forty years. Contact person: SIONA O’CONNELL Tel: 021 4807151 Email: [email protected] / [email protected] DIALOGUE WITH AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Date: Time: Venue: 8 August 13:00 Artscape Theatre A dialogue facilitated by Dr Ruben Richards of the Ruben Richards Foundation and Dr Thaver, a Sociologist at UWC is included in the festival programme this year. What does the gang provide that makes it so attractive for youth? Has society failed our young people and our young men in particular? What institutional systems do we need to put in place to ensure sustainable and safe communities particularly in marginalised spaces such as the Cape Flats. The session is intended to be interactive and an opportunity for the audience to ‘debrief’ upon seeing the play, Die Glas ennie Draad, which is quite jarring at times. The session will be guided sensitively and cover not only the content covered by the play but the theatrical skills and delivery of the message. The session is intended to develop an appreciation for both the challenge of building social cohesion and making sense of gangsterism as well as an appreciation for theatre as an art form - a powerful medium through which to deal with a challenging societal issue. THE RUBEN RICHARDS FOUNDATION The Ruben Richards Foundation (RRF) was founded by Ruben Robert Richards. The RRF aims to bring healing to traumatised communities. Ruben has conducted peace-building seminars for leaders of criminal gangs, resulting in the longest ceasefire in the history of gang warfare on the Cape Flats. One of the foundations initiatives includes associating with Gantane Kusch and DMR Productions aka his son, Daniel Richards. Die Glas Ennie Draad is an artistic expression of the work the RRF does in traumatised communities.

Though they lost their first campaign – against the disenfranchisement of ‘coloured’ voters in the mid1950s – they turned their attention to other unjust laws and over the decades carved out a unique role for themselves, bearing witness, developing expertise and expert knowledge, and generally moving way ahead of the rest of white society in campaigning , for instance, for a universal adult franchise, for an end to capital punishment and for legal abortion. Though harassed by the government, the Black Sash was one of the few white organisations that won widespread credibility and respect, both locally and abroad, and by the 1980s had become a recognised part of the broad movement for change in the country. Writing from prison in 1985 to congratulate the Sash on its 30th anniversary, Nelson Mandela said: “In spite of the immense difficulties against which you have to operate, your voice is heard right across the country. Even though frowned upon by some, it pricks the conscience of others and is warmly welcomed by all good men and women.” This uniquely South African story is written by Mary Burton, herself a national president of the Black Sash for several years and, later, one of the Truth and Reconciliation commissioners. With an insider’s perspective she helps us understand what drove this group of women, what it was like to be involved, and what lessons we can learn from the Sash’s history. 8 ARTSCAPE WOMEN/HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL BEING A WOMAN IN CAPE TOWN Date: 7 August Time: 17:30 Venue: The Women’s Library, Woman Zone, Artscape ground floor next to Artscape box office WOMAN ZONE will be launching their book Being a Woman in Cape Town: Telling your story.

PLUS a Who’s Who of Women Champions who have helped sponsor the book. Some of the 13WOMEN and women writers will be joining us to read their work WOMAN ZONE Woman Zone is a movement designed to bring together all women from the Mother City’s cultural kaleidoscope. To get to know one another better, to share stories and experiences, work together, learn from each other - and above all to highlight and promote their past, present and future achievements, not their victimhood. Cape Town’s women are for unity and for integration.

Bittersoet, the Afrikaans translation by Hanli Rolfes, is produced by Elsabé Daneel who keeps on shining as the five characters in this solo production. The renowned director, Juanita Swanepoel, is responsible for the design and direction. How does a handful of contrasting women balance their buoyancy with the curve balls of life? Whether you are strong, funny or regretful: when dealt a bad deck of cards the sweet balm lies in the quiet triumph of healing. The comical pianist trudges along in her gown and curlers. The solitaire player fails to control her hair and emotions. The earth mother covets her joy while the English rose weeps for the little one she could never hold. The pioneer grandmother gallantly faces the essence of whites and blacks living side by side on a black continent. Director, choreographer, décor, costume and lighting design by Juanita Swanepoel. COLD CASE Date: 6 & 7 August Time: 19:30 / 19:30 Venue: Artscape Arena Ticket Price: R80.00 As a theatrical presentation Cold Case, doesn’t try to solve the mystery of who killed Dulcie September but it goes some way to present the various scenarios already in the public domain. At the same time it is a celebration of this legendary Cape Town school teacher turned freedom fighter who was deemed dangerous enough to be assassinated. Cape Town critics rave about just how Denise Newman gets under the skin of this ordinary fun loving Cape Flats young woman with a love for dancing on week-ends. Winner of The Standard Bank Ovation Award 2014 and Adelaide Tambo Humanitarian Award 2014. Written by Sylvia Vollenhoven and Basil Appollis, directed by Basil Appollis and lighting design by Faheem Bardien. 14 ARTSCAPE WOMEN/HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL TRAPPED Date: 6 August Time: 20:00 Venue: Artscape Theatre Ticket Price: R60.00 Trapped, merges visual art, sound dialogue and dance as three autobiographical solos, by artists pioneering integrated dance (combing dance techniques with mixed abilities) in South Africa, unfold.

ASHED Date: 7 August Time:20:00 Venue: Artscape Theatre Ticket Price: R60.00 Ashed mirrors the evolution of South African citizens.

And about that one day that changed everything… Written by Peter Voges, directed by Sandra Temmingh, with Vicky Sampson as singing coach, choreography by Mandy Stober Williams, décor and costume design by Leigh Bishop and lighting design by Alfred Rietmann. ARTSCAPE WOMEN/HUMANITY ARTS FESTIVAL 15 DIE GLAS ENNIE DRAAD Date: 8 August Time: 11:30 Venue: Artscape Theatre Ticket Price: R80.00 Die Glas ennie Draad is based on a true story from one of South Africa’s most notorious ganglands. Marlin is an active gang leader of over 3000 men and has recently survived an assassination. We journey into the mind of violence and abuse as Marlin reveals his life-story to ‘die kopdoktor’, Rob. From the offset it is evident to Rob that Marlin is suffering from serious mental and emotional instability. As the situation becomes increasingly more volatile our grasp of the monster and the man becomes blurred. Will Rob be able to leave unchanged or will he, like his client, pay with his life? “Dis bowana in, en bowana uit” - “Its blood to get in, and blood to get out”. Directed by Sandra Temmingh, written and performed by Daniel Richards & Gantane Kusch, lighting design by Kieran McGregor, produced by Christie Hollander of ReVel Productions in partnership with the Ruben Richards Foundation.

Following the success last year of WOMAN ZONE’s Women’s Humanity Walk – this time it’s going to be even bigger and stronger! The Walk will start at The District Six Homecoming Centre and finish at the Artscape Piazza where there will be music and speeches to welcome the Walkers. As before, prior to setting out, the Walkers will be blessed and addressed by women leaders of different faiths organised by The South African Faith and Family Institute. And, in keeping with the theme of Humanity, all are invited to join in the Walk – men, women and children, abled and differently abled – demonstrating that women can unite the Mother City. And once again, everyone is invited to talk to someone they don’t know along the way. In 2014 Artscape’s Marlene le Roux led the procession riding on the back of a Harley Davidson. She’ll be travelling in style again this year – so watch this space! Talking The Walk The Women’s Humanity Walk will be followed at Artscape by a 3 minute OPEN MIC session where all women will be invited to have their say. Alternatively they can write their message on a giant CLEAN SHEET – this will then be kept as an archive of what’s on the minds of the women of Cape Town in 2015. DISTRICT SIX HOMECOMING CENTRE In 2002 the District Six Museum was able to purchase the Sacks Futeran building (now the District Six Museum Homecoming Centre). The building is ideally located two blocks away from the current Museum building.

I Am A Sex Worker is a performance that will occupy the street (a site of countless injustices for sex workers), creatively drawing attention to the stigma and discrimination faced by sex workers on a daily basis and revealing a side of the City hidden to most. In Cape Town and other South African cities, sex work serves as a source of income for numerous people and their families. Despite this prevalence, sex workers remain voiceless in a City that claims to advocate equality - a City where continuing stigmatisation and criminalisation add to their vulnerability. Highlighting this struggle, the Umzekelo Drama Group will enact role-plays. In keeping with the style of Theatre of the Oppressed and Forum Theatre, interaction with the audience is integral to the performance. SWEAT is a registered non-profit organisation based in Cape Town, South Africa and working nationally. SWEAT was established in 1996 to deliver services to adult sex workers in the context of the HIV epidemic. Since this time we have continued to offer services and have also expanded our work to include human rights defence work, advocacy for the rights of sex work as well as mobilising sex workers. We support the decriminalisation of sex work and the recognition of sex work as work in order to extend labour rights to sex workers.

Being exposed to discrimination both financially and professionally as a performer, Thandi as she is affectionately called by her peers, embarked upon a drive to fight for the recognition of women and be treated as equal. She then decided to form a women only group and that was how her first group Women Unite was found in 1997. She has made great strides nationally and internationally through dance, instrumentals and art. Her teachings in traditional music and dances have benefited many schools, cultural groups, universities and teachers around the world.

Our vision is to see women, men and children live their full potential in a society free from gender based violence where faith and justice are honoured. Our work is done through sacred conversations, dialogues, workshops and short training courses. We also offer technical support to religious leaders (who completed our training) and faith communities in developing denominational or faith specific support services and material on prevention and intervention which would include faith statement development, policies and procedural guidelines for working with victims / survivors, perpetrators and children. We advocate for respectful partnerships and collaboration between government, gender justice/ domestic violence service providers and the faith sector in the quest to cultivate Ubuntu in intimate relationships, homes, places of worship and society. South African Faith and Family Institute (SAFFI) Inaugural Consultation Meeting with our Theological Advisory Council In December 2014, we launched our Theological Advisory Council as part of our 16 Days of Activism Conference at UWC. We appreciate the willingness shown by these senior and highly respected theologians, scholars and faith leaders from diverse faiths and denominations to serve in this way to end gender-based violence. On the 6th of August 2015 the Council will have its first consultative meeting at the Artscape Women Humanity Arts Festival. Archbishop Emeritus Njongonkulu Ndungane, Advisory Council Patron, will be present at this inaugural consultation meeting. WESTERN CAPE RELIGIOUS LEADERS FORUM (WCRLF) The Western Cape Religious Leaders Forum (WCRLF) commits itself to mobilise religious leadership from all the major faith communities and structures to work on issues of concern to its constituents in the Western Cape (and the City of Cape Town). Our imperative is to act jointly together with faith communities in approaching government and other relevant parties on issues to safeguard moral standards; to help protect the religious rights of citizens and interests of faith communities; and through networking and collaboration with civil society structures to address issues of concern as may arise in the Western Cape. WCRLF is committed to the difficult work of engaging human pain with a particular emphasis on amplifying black people’s pain in the quest to re-dress the legacy of apartheid and its lingering devastating impact on the large majority of the South African population. In its advocacy role, the WCRLF sees itself as a symbolic religious (moral) presence, walking alongside the voiceless, ignored and marginalized; using its influence and power in public life to develop models of transformation and healing that does not speak on behalf of, but rather with people.

The film is a tribute to artist, activist and writer Charlene Maslamoney who passed away from cancer in 2013. Charlene was diagnosed in 2010 with a duodenal ulcer and was treated for this for one year. A check up after this then revealed that she had stage 4 cancer and she was given 4-6 months to live. However, she defied the odds, looked into all alternative health options, including a healthy diet, meditation and affirmations and lived for 2 more years. The film reflects on Charlene’s life and achievements, her strength and perseverance and the indelible mark she has left behind. Shelley explains “ I have had no funding to make this film. It has been a labour of love. I hope that the film will inspire people to always reach for hope, even in the most difficult circumstances. Through her process of dying, Charlene taught many of us how to live”.
