SUMMARY:FUNK 2024
LOCATION:St Anne's Diocesan College Theatre
DESCRIPTION:In its 25th year, 'Funk' continues to generate tremendous excitement and is
a firm favourite on the annual school production calendar!\nFunk evolved a
s an idea to create a dance programme for schools with very specific aims.
Firstly to unite schools in working towards a common goal; secondly to give
Drama students and their teachers the opportunity to create and rehearse p
ieces of dance theatre for public performance; thirdly, to enable young peo
ple to see that movement, dance and dance theatre is accessible to them and
not only in the hands of professional adult companies; and finally, and pe
rhaps most importantly of all, to generate meaning and artistic integrity t
hrough dance choreography whilst challenging young people to work outside o
f their comfort zones.\nThe task for each school remains constant: to creat
e a 6-minute piece of dance choreography integrating any type of musical or
textual accompaniment. The programme accommodates a range of choreographic
and performance possibilities and provides the perfect opportunity for sch
ools to experiment with new forms. It is also important to emphasise that t
his platform is not a competition, and should not be seen in the same light
as a sports festival or inter-house competition. The highlight of the prod
uction is always the mass group Finale which incorporates all the schools t
ogether on the stage.\nSchools participating include: Pietermaritzburg Girl
s' High School, Epworth School, Howick High School, Russell High School, St
Anne's Diocesan College, St John's D.S.G., St. Nicholas Diocesan School, M
ichaelhouse, Riverwood College & The Wykeham Collegiate.\nPerformances
take place on 10, 11, 13, 14 & 15 May 2024 at The Theatre - St Anne’s D
iocesan College at 7.00 pm. Tickets can be booked via www.quicket.co.za fro

Funk e
volved as an idea to create a dance programme for schools with very specifi
c aims. Firstly to unite schools in working towards a common goal; secondly
to give Drama students and their teachers the opportunity to create and re
hearse pieces of dance theatre for public performance; thirdly, to enable y
oung people to see that movement, dance and dance theatre is accessible to
them and not only in the hands of professional adult companies; and finally
, and perhaps most importantly of all, to generate meaning and artistic int
egrity through dance choreography whilst challenging young people to work o
utside of their comfort zones.
The task for each school remains const
ant: to create a 6-minute piece of dance choreography integrating any type
of musical or textual accompaniment. The programme accommodates a range of
choreographic and performance possibilities and provides the perfect opport
unity for schools to experiment with new forms. It is also important to emp
hasise that this platform is not a competition, and should not be seen in t
he same light as a sports festival or inter-house competition. The highligh
t of the production is always the mass group Finale which incorporates all
the schools together on the stage.
Schools participating include: Pie
