NATi Jong Sterre/Rising Stars Project for Upcoming Playwrights
102 posts
NATi, the Jakes Gerwel Foundation, Suidoosterfees and Artscape invest in the development of the talents of upcoming playwrights though this project. After an intensive script-writing programme at Paulet House, the young playwrights’ work will be developed further to be premiered at the Suidoosterfees. While the Foundation covers the costs of the playwrights’ residency at Paulet House, the Suidoosterfees carries, with the support of NATi, the production fees to stage the theatre pieces. In turn, Artscape supports the theatremakers with repetition venues, costumes and technical help. The playwrights will also get the opportunity to stage extracts from their plays at the text market of the presenter of the KKNK, Kunste Onbeperk.

Stories by writers who took part in this programme
In retrospect I can only lovingly think back to the Paulet Huis like a grandmother happily welcoming us into her midst
Mannetjie is ’n seun wat sy tienerjare in ’n kinderhuis probeer oorleef. Hy is die stem van so baie kinders in die land (en seker wêreldwyd ook) wat die traumatiese gebeure van seksuele misbruik beleef het.
I did not choose you. I did not choose you. I did not choose you.

an upmarket suburb on the coast of Cape Town, a place called Camps Bay.
Jane Mpholo, Stephren Saayman, Melissa Myburgh, Heloine Armstrong en Henque Heymans was die uitverkore teatermakers wat vir drie weke in Somerset-Oos gaan skryf het, met die befaamde Abduragman Adams as mentor. Hulle produksies is volgende jaar op die Suidoosterfees-planke te sien. Hierdie projek word aangebied deur verskeie vennote wat hande neem – Jakes Gerwel Stigting, Suidoosterfees, Artscape en NATi.
