Annie+Helen: Hennie en Pedro bring nuwe drama op die planke
2025-03-17"Twee vroue, beide getraumatiseerd, wat mekaar heel maak. Annie verduidelik op ’n stadium dat taal vir die brein is soos lig vir die oë, en ek hoop dat die ervaring van Annie+Helen mense se binnestes sal ligter maak."
"The world is in flux. And this is where creativity lives."
2020-05-05"Any stressful time of change comes with gifts. These divergent experiences in our lives knock us all off-centre, and for creativity, off-centre is a very good place to be. We expect especially our fine arts and writing learners to engage actively with the pandemic with their daily situations."
