Cut To Black Media to run 2012 Joburg Arts Alive International Festival

Published: 17 July 2012

The bid to run and manage the annual Joburg Arts Alive International Festival has been won by Cut To Black Media in collaboration with a collective of arts practitioners across the various disciplines – from theatre, dance, spoken-word, music right through to fine arts.

Team leader, Lesley Hudson of Cut To Black Media explains: “Our approach was to work on a ‘best of breed’ principle when it came to the group - we were extremely rigorous in selecting individuals who we knew would deliver an incredible programme for Arts Alive - we’re thrilled that the City of Joburg felt the same way. The entire team is excited to put together our first Arts Alive programme – we’ve been brainstorming, debating and planning hard- September cannot come fast enough.”

Other members of the team consist of Sibojama Theatre – represented by theatrical and music giants James Ngcobo and Hugh Masekela, Dance Forum – headed up by renowned Dance Umbrella Festival practitioners David April and Georgina Thomson, Ross Douglas of Artlogic, coordinator of the pan African and global FNB Joburg Arts Fair, musical events in the capable hands of Brad Holmes of the Bassline and Langa Mancunga, spoken word co-ordinator with Dreamcatcher coordinating the festival’s publicity.

Now celebrating its 20th year, the Festival has earned itself an undisputed spot on the Joburg arts calendar. Over the years, Arts Alive has hosted a diverse and exciting pool of artists across the genres from all over the world. This years festival promises to be a fitting celebration to mark it’s 20 year anniversary, and will deliver the 'feast of culture' that Arts Alive has become so renowned for.
