MESSAGE FROM THE ARTS & CULTURE TRUST’S AMBASSADOR When UJ Arts & Culture and the Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) explored a partnership to present an Arts & Culture Conference we were enthused by the possibilities that this presented. But while considering the value of this opportunity we were also compelled to look inward to consider and determine whether staging a conference did indeed fall within the mandate of the Arts & Culture Trust. The Board returned a resounding yes to the partnership stating that “development” is a clear goal of the Trust and a conference is an excellent vehicle to inform and develop the sector. We are enormously grateful to UJ for this opportunity that sees ACT, once again, extending its impact, reach and relevance in the sector. We believe that our agenda and line-up of practitioners and creative thought leaders will result

in two days of valuable sharing and spirited dialogue. We look forward to this conference growing from strength to strength and becoming a highly anticipated event on the cultural calendar. I would like to extend my thanks to all who have worked so hard to make this a reality but most specifically I wish to thank our conference speakers and delegates – it is your presence and your response that will ultimately validate the vision and help to charter the way forward. Brenda Devar-Sakellarides ACT AMBASSADOR

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTS & CULTURE TRUST’S CHAIRPERSON

2

It is an honour and privilege to serve as chairperson of an institution with an archive of cultural activity and support for the arts like that of the Arts & Culture Trust. 2014 marks the celebration of ACT’s 20 years in existence – a milestone that signals and affirms projects and affiliations. We hope that activities such as this will lay a substantial foundation for the development of our own South African history. One need only look at the array of presenters at the conference to see the extent and depth of our commitment to the arts and culture of South Africa.

It is our vision that such events and subsequent documentation will serve as a testament to the wealth and knowledge that is our culture. A culture that supersedes intellectual snobbery, is accessible to both cultural practitioners and their intended audiences and speaks to the now, locally and globally. Melissa Goba ACT CHAIRPERSON

MESSAGE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG In a tweet from the 2011 re:create Arts Conference, speaker Mike Hyatt is quoted as saying, “In the space between the stimulus and the response lies opportunity.” It is into that space – the space between the stimulus and the response – that UJ Arts & Culture, in partnership with the Arts & Culture Trust, is proud to present inaugural ACT | UJ Arts & Culture Conference. As arts and culture practitioners increasingly start working across disciplines it has become evident that we need to develop comprehensive and sustainable action plans for the future of the arts in South Africa. An arts conference of this nature is an ideal platform for surveying arts and culture practice within our borders, and beyond. It will provide the opportunity for players in the industry to interrogate not only the policies, but also the thinking that informs us in our practice today. At the media launch for this conference some weeks ago, Eleanor Turney was quoted from an article in The Guardian, which reads: A group of like-minded people gathered in one place could put serious weight behind something and make a practical difference. However, many of the recent events I’ve attended have not taken advantage of this fact. These events have, at best, been a showcase of great work without much other content and, at worst, been mutual commiserating or back-scratching. I know the big conversations happen, around the country, daily. Arts organisations are innovating, taking risks, finding new methods and partners for collaboration. So why doesn’t this creative, intelligent, forward-thinking attitude translate into organising good conferences? Wary of poor organisation and this tendency in conferences towards talk-shopping without action and follow-through, UJ Arts & Culture has supported ACT in putting a

formidable content team in place. We also tested our intention to host a conference as well as an initial theme through a survey of more than 100 local and international arts and culture practitioners. The feedback from this survey was reassuringly positive. The majority of respondents agreed and strongly agreed that there is a valid place and, indeed a need, for arts conferences of this nature in South Africa. The content team and organisers also used the survey feedback to focus and refine what was initially a broadbased subject into the compelling and engaging theme: “The Art of The Creative Economy.” And into this theme, the team have built very clear objectives, outcomes and concrete deliverables. We trust you will enjoy and engage with the programme we have planned for you over the next two days. We look forward to your engagement, feedback and the critical conversations we must start to have now in order to secure the future: for ourselves and our audiences; for the practitioners to come and for the audiences of tomorrow. Ashraf Johaardien & Grace Meadows HEAD: UJ ARTS & CULTURE & PRODUCER: UJ ARTS & CULTURE

MESSAGE FROM THE CONTENT TEAM Putting together the content for this important conference has been such a humbling but incredible journey of arts and culture, discovery and enlightenment, for the content team. In an effort to consult and collaborate as widely as possible in constructing this inaugural event, to lay solid foundations for future communications platforms for the sector, we have met with, and been totally inspired by, a host of thinkers and practitioners who have passionately explored the length and breadth of our arts and culture universe to build their own and contribute to the sector’s body of knowledge. As we engaged with these great minds the raison d’être for this conference became all the more evident – this amazing wealth of knowledge, insights and ideas need to be shared. What also became increasingly clear is that a two-day event cannot hope to thoroughly explore and interrogate the myriad issues and opportunities facing the sector – it is merely a start of the conversation, and we sincerely hope that this conversation will be continued vigorously in future forums. To this end, we hope that delegates will be inspired to invest the time going forward to collaborate across genres within our sector in order that we may, together, present a unified voice and vision to address the issues and opportunities that

will enable us to increase our economic participation, recognition and support and, in so doing, realise our potential as formidable contributors to the national economy and to the core appeal of “brand” South Africa.

THE ART OF THE CREATIVE ECONOMY

There are many themes within this exciting two-day event, but the over-arching theme is the “art”, the skill, which is required to deliver an effective, efficient and inspiring creative economy. The impressive line-up of presenters includes some of the creative sector’s finest thought leaders, activists and practitioners. Informed debate and outcomes-focused panel discussions will provide the sector with a rare opportunity to find a cohesive voice through interrogating current policy, application, research and interpretation. Recognising, however, that art is not created by governments but by individuals, the conference will provide a platform and a bridge between policymakers and practitioners, between funding bodies and those they fund, while sharing some ground-breaking and maverick commercial success stories which are sure to inspire confidence that the creative bottom line can be compelling. Art is expansive by nature and over the two days the agenda will cover the spectrum from looking at policy and how it should impact the sector to looking at the creative challenges and possibilities inspired and presented by the ever-advancing digital frontier. Forced to examine this new reality daily, the conference will venture into the exciting space that lies at the nexus of the heartfelt real world and the digital palette of creative opportunities that lie within the virtual world. If the digital world is the new mirror do we indeed recognise our reflected “form and nature” in it, do we see it as a new creative frontier or could it be instead a creative cul-de-sac? And the inherent forward-thinking nature of the sector will be further tantalised by visions of the future and its inexhaustible possibilities, presented by some of the country’s most maverick futurists. We express our deepest thanks to the many wonderful individuals and organisations that have responded so enthusiastically and shared their knowledge so generously to ensure that this conference is as comprehensive, thought-provoking and constructive as possible and represents a major step towards the sector realising its dream and potential of a powerful South African Creative Economy. We look forward to engaging with you over the next two days – and beyond! Trish Downing, Mpho Molepo and Brenda Devar-Sakellarides

BRENDA DEVAR-SAKELLARIDES

MPHO J MOLEPO

East London born Brenda DevarSakellarides (Radloff), describes herself as a creative catalyst. She studied at UKZN where she graduated with an Honours degree in Speech & Drama (cum laude) in 1984. Her journey in the creative sector has seen her working as an actress, singer, creative consultant, project developer and arts administrator. She is the Director of Pink Room Productions, a music studio and creative consultancy which, offers a wide range of services including the generation of original music for theatre, film and television, copy and script writing and arts management services. She was nominated as an ACT Trustee in 2007 and stepped into the leadership position in 2009. At the recent board meeting she was appointed the first ACT Ambassador. She serves on the governing body of the National School of the Arts and the committee of the Johannesburg Youth Ballet (JYB). A firm believer in the imperative to honour creative impulses and dreams, she strives to realise not only her own, but to enable and nurture the creative dreams of others. She relishes performing when she is able to juggle it with her family responsibilities. She is married to composer Nik Sakellarides and is mom to Kiruna (15), Leela (11) and Ziya (9).

Mpho Molepo studied at the Market Theatre Laboratory, where he was employed as a fieldworker during his studies. He has over 10 years of extensive acting experience and has had several roles in popular South African productions for television and on stage. Furthering his studies after years of acting, he completed his Honours degree in Dramatic Arts at Wits in 2008. Mr Molepo has served as a member of the National Arts Council theatre panel, he was also the Deputy Chairperson for the National Arts Festival for a number of years and as part of his leadership involvement he served as a member of the Gauteng Provincial Arts and Culture Council. He was a member of the Windybrow Centre of the Arts for a couple of years and respectively served as chairperson for the artistic committee of the Centre. Molepo has been instrumental in the hosting of the Arts Alive Alternative Spaces Festival for the City of Johannesburg and also for the provincial government during the World Cup in 2010. Molepo produced the theatre programme for the Polokwane Arts festival in 2009 and later he managed The Gauteng Mapantsula Festival in partnership with the State Theatre. He is being labelled as a leader and an activist in the arts and has dedicated his life to the upliftment of community practitioners. Molepo recently directed two productions “The Pen” and “Play Me” at the Market Theatre by Monde Mayephu. In 2012 he produced the Joburg Promusica Sisonke Community Theatre and Dance Festival.

As the youngest of a large family active in the arts, it was inevitable that Trish would be on stage from an early age. She acted and sang her way through school, singing in the Natal School’s Choir, NAPAC Opera and a country rock band, then studied Speech & Drama at UKZN and Trinity College of Music, London, where she attained her Associate and Licentiate Speech & Drama Teachers Diplomas and went on to work extensively as an actress in theatre, film, TV, radio and as voice artist. Ever-curious and wanting to find other outlets for her creativity, Trish took up freelance PR and marketing, having attained PRISA (Public Relations Institute of SA) Certification and Accreditation, while working in long-running plays. A major bank for which she had freelanced for many years made her an offer she couldn’t refuse – and her career took a completely unintended turn into the world of blue chip corporate communications and PR. In a career that she says has taken her to amazing places and afforded her awesome opportunities, Trish has held senior positions at FNB, ABSA, Old Mutual, M-Net, Ster-Kinekor and The South African Ballet Theatre. While relishing what she was learning about the strategic cut-and-thrust of big business, Trish was also able to satisfy her deep passion for the arts through her corporate work, by sponsoring several major arts and culture initiatives aimed at developing and recognising the arts and artists in South Africa and beyond. Among these projects were the FNB Vita Awards – comprising the FNB Vita Art Now competition and exhibition, the Craft Now competition and exhibition, the Dance Umbrella, The Market Theatre Laboratory Community Theatre Festival and the Regional and National Vita Theatre Awards; the start-up of the South African Music Awards (SAMAs); the M-Net All-Africa Film Awards, the M-Net Book Prize and a host of projects aimed at developing emerging talent. Trish is serving on the Board of Trustees of the Arts & Culture Trust and is a Council Member of the National Film and Video Foundation where she also serves on the Transformation sub-committee and chairs the Marketing and Distribution Advisory Panel.

LADY GREY ARTS ACADEMY

Founded in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa in 1996, the Lady Grey Arts Academy is tucked away in the Southern Drakensberg Mountains in the quaint town of Lady Grey. In a changing society, the Academy’s boundaries have long since expanded to welcome pupils from all backgrounds and cultures. The Academy is indeed a true reflection of the South African “Rainbow Nation”, offering specialized education to pupils from the more remote parts of the rural areas of South Africa. The Academy’s horizons in all educational aspects are ever expanding to meet the needs of the young people of today, focusing especially on the development of artistic talent and skills.Following the political changes of 1994, a severe drought situation and the depopulation of the small rural town Lady Grey, the School Governing Body at that particular time had to implement drastic measures to ensure the future of the town as well as the well-being of its community. A decision was made that would change the former David Ross Primary School to a completely new undertaking - that of an Art

and Music School. From 1997 onwards, the other performing arts disciplines were introduced owing to a growing demand for these subjects as part of the official curriculum. The Academy very soon reached the status of a combined Primary and Secondary school with its first Matric Class in 2000.

The Market Photo Workshop was started by world-renowned photographer David Goldblatt in the late eighties. At the outset, the aim was to provide visual literacy and practical training to young photographers who were excluded from formal training in tertiary education institutions by the policies of the government at the time. Located in Newtown, Johannesburg, the Market Photo Workshop strives to create an environment where students learn not only the technical and conceptual aspects of photography, but also the thinking integral to the understanding of contemporary photographic practice. Through its various endeavours and ongoing projects the Market Photo Workshop continues to make strong links with organisations both locally and internationally. The Market Photo Workshop has played a crucial role in establishing new voices in South African photography. Alumni include: Jodi Bieber (seven times World Press Winner), other World Press winners like Themba Hadebe, and Sydney Seshibedi; and internationally acclaimed photographers such as Nontsikelelo Veleko and Zanele Muholi.

Despite its present manifestation, Outlet is purely a concept, an idea placed within an alternative real-world platform, abstracted from age-old perceptions of what a gallery or museum should represent. Outlet questions the various purposes and reasoning’s that underlie traditional exhibiting spaces, their histories, geographies, and topographies, but does not necessarily pretend to overwhelm, subvert, or negate such spaces. Outlet is an ongoing and changing discourse, focused on the deconstruction of contemporary and historical ideologies about artistic spaces and practices.

The Owl House Museum is situated in the small town of Nieu-Bethesda in the Klein Karoo. The town was once a lively farming community, but in the 1940’s and 50’s it went into decline. Today the town is renowned for the Owl House with an annual visitor’s count of 15000, and is now a popular tourist town with guest houses, restaurants and coffee shops. The Owl House was created by famous reclusive Helen Martins when she started her obsessive project of bringing light and colour to the interior of her house with walls covered in colourful crushed glass, cement and wire. The garden is full of concrete sculptures of owls, camels, people and mythical beasts. Since her death in 1976 the house has been turned into a museum and is managed by the Owl House Foundation. The play The Road to Mecca by Athol Fugard was inspired by the house, and in 1991 the house was declared a provisional national monument.

exhibi�on DE MAGNETE

Solo exhibition by Jacki McInnes 6 – 27 JUNE

In her solo exhibition, entitled de Magnete, McInnes interrogates the contradictions inherent in present-day human thought and behaviour, especially with respect to the disconnection between our material aspirations and their inevitable effect on our planet and ultimate future. Key areas of interest relate to the forces of attraction and repulsion and, secondarily, to the speed at which we hurtle resolutely on our chosen trajectory into an uncertain future. A leit motif of the effect exerted by the magnetic field runs through her work speaking to the concepts of the loss of our societal moral compass and to the binary opposing forces to which we are subjected: nature on nature; man on nature; man on man, and inevitably, nature on man. With lecture/walkabout.
