In its 33rd year of developing world-class creatives, the multi-disciplinary arts and culture service provider, Sibikwa Art Centre, has forged a unique partnership with Standard Bank Young Artist of the Year Jefferson Bobs Tshabalala of Ub’Dope Shishini.
Dubbed Ub’Dope eSibikwa, this partnership is active for a season of dynamic performances and workshops is running until March 31.
The centre, which is situated on Liverpool Road, has crossed and merged paths with Tshabala to give life to a season of Ub’Dope eSibikwa.
“This collaboration will inject vigorous activities at Sibikwa wherein a slew of dynamic young artists who are already formidable practitioners will share their skills and talents with the youth and community of East Jozi,” Tshabalala said.
“I will be facilitating workshops on performance, writing and directing to East Rand youths, and through my network, I have invited other dope people to bring more dopeness to Sibikwa.”
Sharing her view on Ub’Dope eSibikwa, artistic director Phyllis Klotz said: “We found it imperative to keep the flame of innovation and creativity burning at Sibikwa, by bringing in fresh and young ideas and voices and the young Ub’Dope Team.”
The schedule for the workshops will be announced as per Covid-19 regulations. Visit the Ub’Dope Channel at tixsa.co.za for tickets and the events schedule.
