Th e annual diary highlights the education, training and audience development programmes and co-productions which will take place at Artscape during 2018 demonstrating our dedication towards investment in the future of the Arts in South Africa. Artscape executes its mandate according to the following values 1. Inclusivity Inclusivity plays an important role in uniting a nation. At Artscape, we use the performing arts as the vehicle. Th e diversity of programmes and co-productions staged in conjunction with our collaborative institutions and partners locally, regionally and internationally provides clear evidence of our commitment to cultivating a diverse and inclusive arts environment for the community that we serve. 2. People Centred A performing arts centre cannot exist without the existence of its stakeholders, both internal and external. At Artscape we acknowledge and appreciate the support we receive from our Audiences, Funding Partners and all other Stakeholders whom have journeyed with us since Artscape’s existence, and no part of what we are mandated to deliver on would be possible without our valued and dedicated staff who create the magic behind the scenes. 3. Excellence Creating a culture of excellence is critical to the growth and sustainability of our organisation. To achieve this excellence, Artscape continuously monitors the quality of the productions that grace our stages, thereby creating a culture that ensures our development and educational programmes are masterpieces that will leave our audiences mesmerized in all genres of the performing arts. 4. Innovation At Artscape, we are constantly striving to be the leading innovative performing arts theatre globally. Which is why we invest in partnerships locally, regionally and abroad, focusing in all art forms. Th is is to adopt world class benchmarking standards that can be innovatively adopted using our African themes. Our education, development and mentoring programmes are geared towards equipping all who benefi t from them with cutting edge skills required to deliver exceptional performances. | 4 | ADE_DIARY2018_finalproof3.indd 4 2018/01/23 10:20 Messages Lastly, Artscape’s exemplary mission to promote social cohesion, contribute to nation-building and global solidarity through the pursuit of excellence in the performing arts will continue during the year 2018 through the programmes and productions presented in this diary.

Th eatre manages to shift mind-sets, build confi dence and bring forth a sense of inclusiveness as a result of its interactive nature. We know it is part of human nature to feel the need to examine who we are in relation to where we are, consequently, basic elements of theatre and drama exist in every society and what better tool than to communicate through dramatic arts. Th e Centre strongly believes in Youth development, Education and Development in general and as a result the programmes stretch out as far as the rural communities bringing enjoyment to those who would not otherwise experience theatre. We have the opportunity to bring life to community theatre dreams, to give youth a chance to perform on a professional stage and to educate hundreds of learners through Set Work productions. We open our doors to all members of the public to provide a world-class experience in our building while watching a professional theatre production. We are confi dent that 2018 will be a productive year!
