SUMMARY:Acapella Musical Festival
DESCRIPTION:Acapella Musical Festival is a community based initiative that aims at establishing new forms of partnerships with youth and surrounding communities through music and entertainment making up the loss of competitive art forms in townships\, involving new faces and talent. The Festival was created after seeing the consistency and drive of Acapella groups who are singing tirelessly for commuters that are traveling by taxis in different ranks around Cape Town. The organisation realised a definite need for an annual platform to keep these musical groups going. The Festival will feature 20 musical groups with an opportunity to showcase their talents\, promote their music and to create job opportunities for youth in the arts and culture industry.

SUMMARY:Unclear
DESCRIPTION:‘Unclear’ by queer disabled artist Louise Westerhout\, in their first performance piece since stage 4 cancer and hip/femur replacement from February this year. Louise recounts in forensic detail the symptoms she remembers before\, during\, and now as a perhaps futile effort in clarifying when it started\, what caused it\, where next. Unclear exposes the uncomfortable\, shifting realities of our mortal existence and our erroneous need for meaning. As a multimedia installation it offers nuanced diagnoses\, on the personal\, but also the socio-cultural pathologies which perpetuate illness\, such as ableism\, misogyny\, ageism and queer phobia. \nUnclear is made in conversation with Craig Leo. \nPlease note that this production is PG18

Louise recounts in forensic detail the symptoms she remembers before\, during\, and now as a perhaps futile effort in clarifying when it started\, what caused it\, where next. Unclear exposes the uncomfortable\, shifting realities of our mortal existence and our erroneous need for meaning. As a multimedia installation it offers nuanced diagnoses\, on the personal\, but also the socio-cultural pathologies which perpetuate illness\, such as ableism\, misogyny\, ageism and queer phobia. \nUnclear is made in conversation with Craig Leo. \nDUST TO MAN and DIVERSITY IN DANCE – 1 December @ 19h30\n \nDust To Man is inspired by the Islamic story of Adam and Hawa (Adam and Eve).  The production looks at the beginning of Adam’s purpose and what he was meant to do for man on Earth.  “Caretaker\, answer\, rename and lead man’s doing today”.  He was then influenced by what is forbidden which led to change and life as we know it.  ‘When the Lord said to the angels:  I am going to create a human (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.  So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me\, then fall prostrate to him”. \nThe Diversity in Dance Project\, funded by the British Council\, is a partnership between Artscape and Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival in Edinburgh\, Scotland.  Unmute Dance Theatre will host 3 dancers from the UK for 2 months to work on creating new work.  The collaborative work will see able and disabled bodied dancers create and showcase what they’ve created at the Edinburgh Carnival in July 2022.  The project will culminate again at the ArtsAbility Festival at the end of the year where dancers will showcase  what they’ve been working on throughout the year. \nCHINK IN A RUBBER WALL – 2 December @ 19h30\n \nItalian artist Alessandro Schiattarella who is based in Switzerland returns to South Africa in 2022 to create a new work with the company dancers for the ArtsAbility Festival.  Alessandro’s working relationship with Unmute began in 2016 with his first residency in SA with the company and since then this relationship developed with exchanges and two of his works “Altrove” and “One at a Time” which was performed at the ArtsAbility Festival in 2018.  This year we are delighted to have him back with a new work. \nLISTEN TO MY HANDS and DIVERSITY IN DANCE – 3 December @ 15h00\n \nIn September Unmute celebrated Deaf Awareness Month with a new work to create awareness for this month and sign language.  The work brings out a world full of communication through his hands.  He’s been in a quiet place finding it difficult to communicate with people who can listen – he is inviting us into his world where hands are louder than the voice. \nThis time he will be doing this work in collaboration with Jazzart Theatre \n The Diversity in Dance Project\, funded by the British Council\, is a partnership between Artscape and Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival in Edinburgh\, Scotland.  Unmute Dance Theatre will host 3 dancers from the UK for 2 months to work on creating new work.  The collaborative work will see able and disabled bodied dancers create and showcase what they’ve created at the Edinburgh Carnival in July 2022.  The project will culminate again at the ArtsAbility Festival at the end of the year where dancers will showcase  what they’ve been working on throughout the year.
