In the Final Edition...

In the final edition of the Grapevine on 26 July, 2013, it was reported in the article "From UP stage to small screen" (p6) that Liesel Harris is the director of the Krêkvars play, Kaftin and that she will feature in the upcoming South African film, Musiek vir die Agtergrond.  It is in fact Lizelle de Klerk who is the director of Kaftin and who will star in this film.

 

It was further reported that Luan Jacobs will feature in Deon Opperman's latest project, Donkerland.  This is not correct. He will be seen in Vir Beter of Baie Beter on kykNET.

 

We apologize respectively.

Thank you

Letter from the Editor, Annine Dormehl - New voice for the Grapevine

While most of the University if Pretoria's Hatfield campus might have seemed deserted when students headed home for the July recess, excitement started brewing at the Drama Department.

For the past few weeks, drama students have rehearsed until the early hours of the morning to prepare for the 13th annual Krêkvars Student Arts Festival.

The Krêkvars week has always been a special time of the year for me. Since my days as a first year, I've missed a fair share of classes to be delighted by what was brought to the stage by my fellow students.

This year I am thrilled to be in charge of the team of journalists and reviewers who are committed to bringing you festival news, insightful reviews and behind the scene interviews.

For the first time the Grapevine will be produced by honours students from the university's Journalism Program. We will bring you four editions of this new, revamped festival paper during the week of 19 to 27 July.

In this edition, you can read more about the introduction of the i-Ticket system and what Professor Marié-Heleen Coetzee, head of the drama department, believes Krêkvars means. In every edition you can also get a look at the daily production schedule.

Our reviewers will share their thoughts on the festival productions in the second edition (which will be distributed from Tuesday the 23rd of July). 

Look out for our staff members who will be selling copies at the box office.

Enjoy every second of the festival and remember to watch as much as possible (even if it means that you might have to skip a few classes).
