A Career in the Arts - Wynberg Secondary School
Project
Dance requires that an enormous amount of work be done outside the classroom in order to expose learners to dance performances as well as allowing them to experience as many of the other aspects of the art form as possible. A misconception exists around seeking career opportunities within this art form and my dream is to aid in dispelling these misconceptions. I would like to take a group of grade 11 learners to the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town to show them the different and varied career opportunities that await them within the world of theatre. They will have the opportunity to tour the backstage area and to engage with full time professional sound; lighting and backstage people who work at the theatre.
How the project fits the RNCS
The advantage of this experience over a lecture at school is that the learners will be able to see for themselves what goes on behind the scenes at a professional theatre and this will hopefully create a positive impression and provide them with much satisfaction.

A Career in the Arts : Wynberg Secondary
On arrival at the theatre the students were taken to the auditorium of the opera house where the senior lighting manger, Nicholas, gave an in-depth presentation on many varied jobs available in live theatre.  This was made much more exciting as the respective people were working in front of us constructing set, rigging lights and setting up sound equipment, so we were able to experience it first-hand.
