Regional events of PANSA / NLDTF
Festival of Reading of New Writing 2012

Cape Town: Magnet Theatre: 18 & 19 May (Comedy)
Johannesburg: Univ of Jhb: 25& 26 May (1 & 2 Handers) Durban: Catalina theatre: 1& 2 June (Drama)
National Finals: Catalina theatre: 3 June

Regional events for the fifth PANSA/NLDTF Festival of Reading of New Writing – one of the country's most respected projects to encourage innovative new scriptwriting - will be held in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban later this month and early in June 2012.

The aims of this wonderful and annually much anticipated festival, run with the support of the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF), are to generate original South African theatre works, to provide a platform for these works to reach the attention of theatre producers, and to work towards full-scale productions of the winning plays.

Productions will be formally read (not staged) by actors under the guidance of a professional director, with the focus on the script being showcased most effectively, without being overwhelmed by elaborate staging, sets, costumes, lighting, performances and direction.

The winning scripts in each region - Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban - are re-read in the national final and are up for a Grand Prize of R30 000. A panel of carefully chosen industry leaders are the judges of the competition who critically adjudicate the scripts.

The festival is a national project of PANSA: the Performing Arts Network of South Africa which is a civic national network of individuals, NGOs, service providers and mainstream institutions that are engaged in the practice or support of the performing arts (performing arts in all forms - dance, music, theatre, opera, musical theatre). The national office is in Cape Town, with regional offices in Durban and North West, and active volunteers throughout the country.

Ticket price R30 per reading. R100 if you buy for all four readings in each region.
The National Final event is R30, or free with a stub from at least one regional performance.
Tickets in all instances are available at the door.

Shakuntala: Classic Sanskrit drama for DUT

"A necklace of poetic love strung with humour…"
Courtyard Theatre, DUT: Sunday 20 – Friday 25 May 2012

Shakuntala, a fifth-century classical Sanskrit masterpiece, is a simple story of profound romantic love intensified by adversity, which comes to the Courtyard Theatre at DUT from Sunday 20 – Friday 25 May.

Acknowledged as being an "ancient gem", Shakuntala tells the story of a king (Dushyanta) who falls in love with a girl of humble origins, the beautiful Shakuntala: a golden lotus. These plans are thwarted when an ill-tempered hermit curses Shakuntala for neglecting him. The curse results in the King forgetting who she is, but fate has a way of righting all wrongs and intervenes. But, true love is destined to win the day.,,,

"Since the law of karma mechanically dispenses a kind of cosmic justice for every thought, word and deed, no occurrence in human life can be considered as really tragic – hence the entire absence of tragedy in these classical forms – in fact the representation of death on stage is forbidden," explains director Robin Singh.

This production features DUT undergraduate Drama students and is directed by Robin Singh, with costumes by Robin Singh and Vasugi Singh who is a trained classical Indian dancer. She is also serving as cultural advisor for this production. The set has been designed by Robin Singh and Prof. Debbie Lutge, and lighting design is by Mtandazo Mofokeng, an award winning technician at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.

Shakuntala by Kalidasa
Directed by: Robin Singh, Senior Lecturer, Drama Studies, DUT
Performance dates: Sunday 20 May 2012 – Friday 25 May 2012
Time: 19:00 nightly
Venue: Courtyard Theatre, DUT, Steve Biko Road. Parking through Gate 4
Cast: Comprises 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students
Bookings: Lebohang Sibisi - 031-3732194
Cost: R20-00

Abbamaniacs returns

Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 29 May - 24 June

Back by popular demand, MacBob Productions presents its runaway hit, Abbamaniacs, at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 29 May - 24 June 2012.

Just when you thought it was safe to breathe, they're back, all set to take the Durban stage by storm once more!! MacBob Productions presents the return of Abbamaniacs, written and directed by Aaron McIlroy. This uproarious musical comedy features rock hits by the legendary Swedish super group, and stars the irrepressible Aaron ("Wake up my boy!")
McIlroy as the psychotic, wannabe DJ, Nigel Bjorn van Rensburg, an obsessive Abba fanatic who hijacks East Coast Radio's airwaves to flood listeners' homes with an ongoing string of his idols' hit songs.

Lisa Bobbert, Marion Loudon, Pinkie Mtshali, Cobus van Heerden and Sean de Klerk are the super-hot talent line-up who join Aaron onstage, playing a procession of zany characters who wander into his studio, to be swept away in the momentum of Nigel's hectic energy and the show's hilarious plot.

The show redefines nostalgia. Nothing is sacred in this affectionately irreverent, two-hour entertainment that combines fun and farce with all-time Abba favourites such as Fernando, Waterloo, Honey Honey, Money Money Money, Take a Chance and many more, all performed with immense gusto.

Last seen in Durban six years ago, Abbamaniacs has a track record as one of MacBob's greatest runaway successes. It has played to clamorous houses all over South Africa.
Back by public demand, the restaged production boasts costumes by Terrence Bray, lighting by Michael Broderick and sound by Tim Pullen. It runs from 29 May to 24 June 2012 at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in Durban. Performances are at 19h30 (Tuesdays to Saturdays) and 15h00 (Sundays). Tickets cost R150. Early booking at Computicket is advised on 0861 915 8000 or online at www.computicket.com.

He worked closely with the Archbishop for many years especially in the Catechetical Commission (from 1969 – 1976), as Director of the National Pastoral and Catechetical Centre (Khanyisa) (from 1976 – 1983) and as the Archbishop's last Vicar General ( 1983 - 1993 ). In his retirement he is one of the most active of the Denis Hurley Centre's patrons and trustees.

During that time young Paul Nadal was a member of the Cathedral Youth Club from 1946 – 1954 and frequently participated in social events in the Parish Centre. The dinner on 22 June will be one of the last major functions to be held in the Centre before its demolition to make way for the Denis Hurley Centre which is to be constructed on the same site.

The club and campus campaign takes this game of chance one step further, encouraging clubbers and students to "take the dare". They'll be challenged to complete a light-hearted and entertaining dare – such as getting a semi-permanent Doritos tattoo or shaving off an eyebrow or two!

Members of the public can then go online to vote for their favourite wacky videos. At the end of each week, the video that scoops the most votes will be entered into a lucky draw for R10 000, and the overall winner will be announced on 11 June.

In addition, Doritos fans can play a free interactive online roulette game on the Doritos South Africa Facebook page and mobisite (activated for all smartphones in South Africa). You'll start with a certain number of chips in your packet, and can earn extra chips by referring friends to the game.

Players stand a chance of winning a R500 daily cash prize, and the top three players with the highest points every day will be entered into a weekly lucky draw for a 16GB iPad 2 with 3G and Wi-fi, or a Blackberry Bold 9900, for the duration of the two-month campaign.

Denis Hurley Centre: Fundraiser
Run the Comrades!

Cardinal Wilfrid Napier OFM is inviting runners taking part in this year's Comrades Marathon on 3 June, to make it a sponsored run for the Denis Hurley Centre in Durban. The idea came from Thomas Daniels of Sacred Heart Parish, Woodlands, who will be running his 17th Comrades this year, and has offered to do it for the Hurley Centre.

The idea is that each Comrades runner who would like to participate in the project will appeal to the members of their family and friends, and parish/faith community to sponsor them. All the proceeds will go to the Denis Hurley Centre.

Further information about this project and official sponsorship forms can be obtained from the project organiser, Mark Wardell, at markvwardell@gmail.com , Phone 083 7895062 or from Jean-Marie at the Denis Hurley Centre. Phone 031 301 2240/ 072 549 0338 ntajeanmarie@yahoo.com . Runners from other parts of South Africa as well as from other countries are welcome to participate.

Cardinal Napier will officially launch the Comrades project at a social event to be held in the Emmanuel Cathedral Presbytery on March 15. If you would like to attend, please contact Mark Wardell (see contact details above). It is hoped that shortly before the Comrades Marathon on 3 June, the Cardinal will preside over a special service at the Cathedral for runners, their families, friends and sponsors – and will bless the runners who will be invited to attend in their running gear.

KZN Breeders / Triple Million Challenge

KZN Trainers and Breeders Golf Day, 29 June, Beachwood Golf Course. RSVP info@yellowstarstud.co.za

KZN Breeders Race Day, 1 July, Greyville.
RSVP info@yellowstarstud.co.za

KZN Yearling Sale: 5 - 6 July, Suncoast Casino

The KZN Breeders Club has announced new incentives for racehorse owners to support horses bred in the province. The KZN Breeders 1600, a historic race run the week before the Vodacom July Handicap, will be carry a stake of R1m this year, up four-fold from 2010. The race will be open to all KZN-bred three and four year olds on Sunday 1 July.

A new R1m race for juveniles will be introduced in 2013, run on Vodacom July Day over 1300m at Greyville. The race will be restricted to graduates of this year's Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale held between the running of the 2012 KZN Breeders 1600 and the 2012 Vodacom July.

As a further incentive, the KZN Breeders Club has introduced a bonus of R1m for any horse which, from next year, is able to win the R1m Juvenile race in 2013; and the KZN Breeders 1600 in the following two years. Meaning the only way to qualify for all three Million Rand races is to buy a KZN Bred on the Suncoast KZN Yearling sale. In this way, owners are given three opportunities to win R1 million, an incentive to support the local breeding industry - one which is proving itself nationally.

Roughly 250 yearlings will be offered on auction. Online bidding will be offered for those unable to make the sale.The KZN Breeders and the TBA will put together a number of exciting events around the KZN Yearling Sales; further developments will be announced in due course.

Durban Duck Day

Yacht Mole, Durban Harbour

A 'quacker' of a day, the first ever Durban Duck Day takes place at Durban's Yacht Mole (off Victoria Embankment/Margaret Mngadi Avenue) in June where a flock of 10,000 ducks will be released simultaneously to race, with the victorious duck winning the grand prize of up to R100,000.

Introducing a fabulous, fun family event for Durban that takes place in the new 'Fun Season' over May and June, with a day of non-stop entertainment with an obvious duck theme, be it duck dances for the younger participants, communal singing of specially adapted 'ducky' songs, or the quackier 'Best Duck Hat' or the 'Best Duck Costume' competitions. The colourful Duck Day 'Duckettes' will mingle in amongst the crowd to hand out spot prizes and giveaways.

Durban Duck Day is a really simple concept; a maximum of ten thousand numbered rubber bath ducks will be released at the same time to float on the tide, with wind and current assistance, towards a demarcated finish post. R10 from the sale of every duck goes into the prize pool, with the first duck to cross the finishing line winning up to R100,000 for the person that has 'bought' that duck.

The race venue will be carefully demarcated according to the tides and wind on the day, and will have pool-cleaning hoses keeping the ducks neatly in their corral. As the race progresses, the corral will be drawn towards the shore, containing the ducks for ease of removal once the race is over. Duck 'Wranglers' will be present at all times ensuring no ducks end up 'in the wild'.

Ducks are sold prior to the event. Schools and non-profit organisations can get involved by using this fun event as a fund raiser with a percentage of each bulk duck sale sold going to the selling school or organisation. Corporates can also purchase their own flock of ducks for employees or customers, and can take up a corporate hospitality area at the venue. Individual purchases of a single duck or a small flock can be made via the website below.

Towards Sustainable Housing

Diakonia Centre: Tues 29 May 10am

The vision of the eThekwini Municipality is to be Africa's most caring and liveable city.
The draft Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework published recently notes that currently, there is a housing backlog of over 410 000 units in the city, which, with the current government funding, will take 82 years to clear.

During election campaigns, promises are made to address the situation. Almost 20 years after Apartheid, the housing backlog is growing, not shrinking.

While we admit that some progress has been made, many deserving residents of the city have been on the waiting list for years, running from pillar to post for houses that do not come and not getting answers to their questions in order to maintain a roof over their head.

Meanwhile, evictions of tenants continue unabated and courts are inundated with cases.

Against this background, Diakonia Council of Churches cordially invite you to a takeholder's briefing to listen to the struggles of home seekers and hear what vision the city has for addressing the crisis.

The discussion panel will include representatives from
*Provincial Government,
*Ethekwini Municipality,
*SOHCO
*Abahlali baseMjondolo

Please indicate whether you would require parking when you RSVP for any event at the Diakonia Centre.
Secure parking is available on the 1st floor of the Renaissance Building, next door to the service entrance of Diakonia Centre in Maud Mfusi Street (previously St George's Street).
To donate online go to our website: www.diakonia.org.za.
The cost for this event, which Diakonia Council of Churches will gladly carry with the aim of transforming society, is roughly R100.00 per person.
Donations will be appreciated

Date: 29 May
Time: 10h00
Venue: Diakonia Centre, 20 Diakonia Avenue, Durban
Please RSVP for catering purposes at 031 310 3500 or reception@diakonia.org.za

Thursdays In Black

Diakonia Council of Churches – every Thursday

This campaign, which was launched in South Africa by the Diakonia Council of Churches during the 16 Days of Activism Campaign at the end of 2008, is an ongoing drive to raise awareness and encourage people to work towards a world without rape and violence against women and children. The World Health Organisation's statistics in 2009 indicated that every 15 seconds a woman is raped in South Africa. We say this is unacceptable.

This is part of a programme run by Diakonia Council of Churches to acknowledge women and raise awareness around issues of gender justice, violence against women and corrective rape.

On Form: A collective exhibition to honour the work and life of Martin Burnett

The Collective, 48b Florida Rd, Dbn – until 19 May

On Form - an exhibition to honour the life and work of Durban artist Martin Burnett who died in January, will be held at The Collective in Durban, opening on 7 May.

The KZN visual arts community have rallied together to create the works for this exhibition to pay tribute to this popular artist, teacher and collector. Burnett was known for finding interesting objects - "treasures that the city had discarded," as fellow artist Dee Donaldson called them - with the intention of transforming them into art. He had collected 30 paper mache mannequin busts which 30 KZN artists will re-interpret, decorate and re-imagine. These busts will form a major part of the exhibition.

Complementing the busts will be works by Burnett, and works for and of Burnett – including Jackie Freer's painting of the artist from the artSPACE Inspiration 2 Exhibition.

Burnett stood in solidarity with women in abusive relationships and supported initiatives which assisted abused women and children. To this end, the exhibition will be a fund raiser for two important organisations: the KZN Network of Violence Against Women which facilitates training for several small organisations in KZN. They address abuse against women, domestic violence, date rape, corrective rape, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, child molestation and many other social ills. The second beneficiary is Diakonia Council of Church's Thursdays in Black campaign which encourages people to wear black every Thursday – to create ongoing awareness about the international injustices against voiceless women and children.
