In its 25th year, 'Funk' continues to generate tremendous excitemen t and is a firm favourite on the annual school production calendar!

F unk evolved as an idea to create a dance programme for schools with very sp ecific aims. Firstly to unite schools in working towards a common goal; sec ondly to give Drama students and their teachers the opportunity to create a nd rehearse pieces of dance theatre for public performance; thirdly, to ena ble young people to see that movement, dance and dance theatre is accessibl e to them and not only in the hands of professional adult companies; and fi nally, and perhaps most importantly of all, to generate meaning and artisti c integrity through dance choreography whilst challenging young people to w ork outside of their comfort zones.

The task for each school remains constant: to create a 6-minute piece of dance choreography integrating any type of musical or textual accompaniment. The programme accommodates a rang e of choreographic and performance possibilities and provides the perfect o pportunity for schools to experiment with new forms. It is also important t o emphasise that this platform is not a competition, and should not be seen in the same light as a sports festival or inter-house competition. The hig hlight of the production is always the mass group Finale which incorporates all the schools together on the stage.

Schools participating include : Pietermaritzburg Girls' High School, Epworth School, Howick High School, Russell High School, St Anne's Diocesan College, St John's D.S.G., St. Nich olas Diocesan School, Michaelhouse, Riverwood College & The Wykeham Col legiate.

Performances take place on 10, 11, 13, 14 & 15 May 2024 at The Theatre - St Anne’s Diocesan College at 7.00 pm. Tickets can be book ed via www.quicket.co.za from 23 April 2024.
