Sakhisizwe -Building the Nation - Bou Die Nasie

On today's show i looked at the UHM production staged at Artscape , director Koleka Patuma came to speak to us more about it .  Here's a bit of background about the production as well as the team . The Papercut Collective, a theatre-making group consisting of the University of Cape Town Drama Department's 2014 graduating class of Theatre Making students, will present their award-winning production, UHM, at the Artscape Arena this December. Facilitated by the UCT Drama Department and the Little Theatre, UHM was originally created for the 2014 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. Its run at the festival earned UHM the Best Student Writing Award. Directed by Koleka Putuma and written by Alex McCarthy and Callum Tilbury, UHM is a madscape collision between history and the present, the unconscious and the real world. The historical figures of Queen Victoria (Kathleen Stephens), Cecil John Rhodes (Callum Tilbury) and Sol Plaatje (Jason Jacobs) go to battle over the soul o

Today's show consisted of nothing but good music and poetry , complimenting  all that the message that was spread was positive and up-lifting in the community. In studio with me today i was joined in studio by a young inspirational group called Anointed Youth Movement.  They come from Nyanga , a township that they claim has been nothing but support in their group and has also contributed to making Anointed Youth Movement the group that it is today. The Movement was formed in 2013 within the movement they do drama,dance and of-corse  music and poetry. They sing acapella and i must say they are very good at what they do. Their sound is different and unique. Thanks to all the members that made it in studio.
