Tembisa Theatre Week 2024

The Tembisa theatre week, is a celebration of theatre and dance in the township. This programme is designed to train, educate, preserve honor and celebrate great theatre makers, dance choreographers that have emerged from the township to stardom and to give back to the townships.

The Tembisa theatre week is designed in a way that will mold, shape and nurture the art industry in Africa. The theatre week will be presenting some of the works that are not recognized and some of their voices are not heard and recognized in the theatre scene of South Africa. The Tembisa theatre week is here as a platform for young artists to practice their art.
Is a safe space for artists to tell their stories from the depth of their souls, It is not an easy journey but with one heart, one soul and one vision in this journey we shall honor, respect, love and share the power of theatre in the township. Now is the time to envision the goal, and embark on a journey to achieve what was never achieved and to open new routes for the upcoming generation of artists.

This is a program that will preserve or dance and theatre traditions, with the hope that is instilled in our minds, hearts and souls, with our theatre will lead everyone to a safe and productive destiny.
