‘Trapped’ merges visual art, sound dialogue and dance as three autobiographical solos, by artists pioneering integrated dance (combing dance techniques with mixed abilities) in South Africa, unfold. The soloists appear simultaneously, each story intersecting and interacting with the others. Through their stories, the dancers use their disabilities as a catalyst to open dialogue around questions of belonging, especially for people living with disability in a non-integrated society. ‘Trapped’ is directed by Themba Mbuli

The Women of Cape Town will be taking to the streets again this year to celebrate Women’s Day, Sunday August 9^th. Following the success last year of WOMAN ZONE’s Women’s Humanity Walk – this time it’s going to be even bigger and stronger! The Walk will start at The District Six Homecoming Centre and finish at the Artscape Piazza where there will be music and speeches followed by a Humanity Meal sponsored by The Next 48 Hours newspaper. Woman Zone will also be launching their book, Being a woman in Cape Town: Telling your story and an Open Mic Short StoryShare + Clean Sheet for festival attendants to write “What It Means To be a Woman in Cape Town”.
