Festival of Fame
The Festival of Fame embarks on its 19th year in 2019with some specific objectives in mind:
- To develop the skills and talents of our learners in their specialist fields
- To ensure that our learners do not perform to empty seats and that auditoriums have as close to capacity audiences as possible
- To expose young South Africans to live performances in professional venues, at an affordable and/or subsidized price. Many of these learners have not had the opportunity to set foot in a theatre before.
- Providing marketing and publicity not only for the Festival, but also for the National School of the Arts
- Participation by professionals, at a fraction of their normal fees, provides insight into the work ethic and discipline required in delivering and maintaining professional performances
- Providing opportunity to assess learners during the Festival in line with the syllabi and portfolio work in the Specialist Fields
- To establish the Festival as an annual, uniting event for learners and staff alike that will be instrumental in developing excitement and energy for the NSA as a visual and performing arts school.
