Freedom Dialogue

Glen Arendse and Winslow Schalkwyk


The Poetry Production FREEDOM DIALOGUE has been accepted into the Arts Lounge Program at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival 2012 with performances scheduled for 3pm on Friday 29th  June 2012 and 3pm on Sunday 1st July 2012.



Aims of the production:


to create a dialogue about freedom using poetry and percussion

to revisit the South African struggle for freedom

to offer a retrospect of our history

to challenge our notions of freedom

to explore identity in this post 1994 South Africa


The recent ANC Centenary Celebrations reminded us of the struggle for freedom that this country and its people have endured. Through a 30 minute performance - using Poetry and Percussion - Winslow Schalkwyk and Glen Arendse, will examine our notions of freedom and deliver commentary from pre and post 1994, as the duo ebb and flow through history remembering not only the Cape Town struggle or South Africa's struggle for freedom but also the struggle to be a human, to be free, to be comfortable in your own skin and be classified as South African.

The Poetry Production is directed by Eldene Jones - actress, writer, producer, director - of Kuier Kombuis and Bittersoet Einde fame.
