Gogola: Growth through Knowledge II

The project aims at creating greater awareness around issues related to the protection of natural resources – with specific reference to water. Providing knowledge and information around these issues are some of the first stepping stones towards developing personal responsibility in this regard and to realise what the potential impact of a lack of (or lack of usable) natural resources like water, can be. Gogola II forms part of the Aardklop/Clover National Arts Festival and AngloGold Ashanti’s community engagement programmes.

The productions will again tour in the in Matlosana, Merafong and Tlokwe municipal regions from 10 September - 21 September 2012 and will play to schools and community organisations. The programmes are participatory and collectively devised by the students and the directors. The Honours students specialising in applied drama/theatre take part in the productions together with students from the second year group. The programmes are conceptualised by Prof M-H Coetzee.

The Drama Department is honoured to have the opportunity to again work on a project with such distinguished partners.
