The conversation will examine how organisations\, funders\, and practitioners can collaborate to build a more caring and equitable creative ecosystem. The event will be live-streamed. \nPresented by: Africa Melane\, Colin Daries\, Mike van Graan\, & Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux \n\nDirectors\, producers\, theatre makers and those that know the theatrical landscape – where is theatre at & where are we heading? \nDATE:            1 August 2026 \nTIME:             10:00 to 12:00 \nVENUE:         Isibaya – Artscape \nHow has the landscape and the make-up of directors and theatre-makers changed through the years? The building (Artscape) is 55 years old – have we done enough in those 55 years to transform the look and feel of who makes theatre\, of what is being portrayed on our stages? If not\, what can\, and needs\, still to be done? Who makes the decisions about the aforementioned? Has enough been poured into the training of and opportunities for\, for example\, women directors? Where are our young\, dynamic theatre makers? How do they break into the industry? Who mentors them? Where do they get funding? Do they know how to apply? These are a few of the questions we will explore\, along with those from the audience\, and hopefully get meaningful\, usable responses. \nA panel discussion led by Rafiek Mammon with panellists:  \nJana Hattingh  \nGillian Mitchell  \nLee-Ann van Rooi  \nVeronique Jephtas \n\nQueer Expressions… An intimate\, authentic conversation exploring Queer issues of faith and healing \nDate: 8 August 2026 \nIAM’s programme manager\, Marlow Valentine\, will anchor an intimate conversation with one of South Africa’s leading music artists who will share their story of resilience\, personal trauma\, sexuality and faith.
