Part of a blog entry by Markus Schmid, mime artist who offered so much joy to the children of Cape Town
A beautiful piece written by Markus Schmid, Mime artist, who worked alongside our schools in Cape Town:
In this approach we find the incredible Duncan, director of the " Helen O'Grady Academy " for Africa (drama school ) .
In the mid- 1980s he left the country in disaster threatened by six years in prison following his activism . He went into exile and took refuge in the UK for over a decade. There is formed in acting and teaching . In 2003 he returned to the country , and began body and soul into this project laboratory mix.
"Creative drama classes give children a voice, literally and figuratively . Beyond the development of the child projects , it is also learning to ex-press outside, to say NO . There are many problems and sexual violence against them in the South African company abuses"
Through his contacts we continue to explore the incredible range of Cape Town: more than 80 nationalities live on this small piece of land together for ages, all backgrounds , all religious diversities together ( Muslims, Christians, Jews, Catholics ), while together socially. Of the school 's most prestigious South African schools with the poorest neighbourhoods girls, as well as professional theatre
school " Magnet Theatre" held by Jennie movement, a disciple of teaching Jaques Lecoq of Paris .
In a few weeks if we look at the city was shaken . A true metamorphosis. Lots and lots of freshness and a huge hospitality in these schools. We improvise, we move, we arrange for tat schedules. The solutions are always found to get us fully . It offers us and we take the time to talk . Some small debates post - game are exquisite. This patchwork of socio- cultural areas of the city and its suburbs , we passed through countless neighbourhoods , meet many principals, teachers , parents and actors. Brewing proved stronger every day before our eyes. Openness and strength to "see ahead" in the faculty have really touched us.
12 schools visited , 21 shows and many enchantments.
