This intensive two week programme is open to young artists, emerging professionals and students of dance in their final years of study. Through daily technique classes, workshops and discussion sessions led by FATC company members and guest facilitators, Summer School 2012 offers its participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in various approaches to dance training and dance-making.

Funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, Summer School 2012 is focussed on providing participants with creative strategies in the processes of dance-making. These strategies seek to boost the creative resources of participants both as performers and theatre-makers.

This year The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative draws on the experiences of a combination of company members and guest facilitators to lead classes and workshops. These artists and educators include, amongst others: FATC artistic director: PJ Sabbagha; Fana Tshabalala; Craig Morris; Athena Mazarakis; Jane O’Connell-Crewe; and Naomi van Niekerk.

There are only 16 places available for Summer School 2012. These 12 places will be awarded on a first-come first-serve basis. The cost of Summer School is set at R500 per participant.

Please note there are a number of sponsored places available subject to a written motivation outlining the need for a full Summer School Bursary. Letters of motivation must be sent to [email protected]

The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative is funded by The National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund. FATC is dance company in Residence at The University of Johannesburg.
