Learn about saving water through art

THE Playhouse Company is offering primary schools the perfect beginning to the year with I AM, an exciting environmental education production performed by the Playhouse Dance Residency (PDR) and choreographed by award-winning PDR member, Sandile Mkhize.

With its message of water conservation and love for and preservation of the Earth, I AM is back by popular demand after children were blown away by the production at The Playhouse Company’s South African Women’s Arts Festival (SAWAF) in 2015.

The production explores humankind’s relationship with the environment, the tree of life and natural elements, and the need for each and every person, no matter how young, to help to save our planet. Its emphasis on water conservation is highly relevant to South Africa in light of the current drought and consequent water restrictions.

The cost is negotiable for performances at schools during the tour and R20 per pupil in the Loft Theatre. To book a performance at your school or at The Playhouse Company, contact Dawn on (031) 369 9407.
