Thandiwe wa Bantu - Cradle of Creativity

A contemporary interactive issue-based play that seeks to create awareness and explore the realities of bullying taking place in our schools and communities. Using modern popular cultures, such as hip hop (rap), street dance and beat boxing, the performance presents this hard-hitting issue in a way that is both accessible and appealing to young audiences. The play employs participatory theatre techniques for engagement, reflection and dialogue; enrolling learners as social work students, and can include facilitated post-performance break away sessions for learners to explore topics in small groups and present their insights back to the audience.
