Nyanga Gold Ikamvanites Get a Taste of the Arts!

Amidst all the craziness of World Cup matches and Winter School, gold Ikamvanites from Nyanga took a welcomed break from their studies to take a trip to Cape Town City Bowl District for an afternoon of art and theatre.  They started off the afternoon by visiting the Goodman Gallery in Woodstock.  Their exhibit featured South African artist Kendell Geers and his collective work entitled Thrid World Disorder.  The Ikamvanites were fortunate enough to have a personal guide for the exhibition focusing on tranformational images and language.           

After a quick bite to eat for lunch, the Ikamvanites ventured forth to the Fugard Theatre to watch the well-received musical of Aesop’s Fables.  With lots of music, singing, danicing, and joking eveyone had a wonderful time in town.

Special thanks to James Krowlikowski for arranging the afternoon’s activities, the Goodman Gallery and its staff, as well as the Fugard Theatre for their warm reception.
