The National Arts Festival 2021- Aiming to give Opportunities to Endless Artists
The National Arts Festival has released the call for artists who wish to take part in the 2021 National Arts Festival Fringe. The National Arts Festival is forecasting for a hybrid edition in July 2021 with a digital (online) festival and live fundamentals as allowed within the prevailing Covid-19 limitations.
Last year the festival was celebrated online when the pandemic restricted meetings and banned a live festival from taking place. The month-long digital 2020 Cybernetic National Arts Festival drew over 80,000 home-grown and international visitors to the festival site and showcased creations that included WhatsApp plays, robot-sketched portrait sessions, documentaries, music concerts, theatre, dance, retrospectives and more.
Providing An Opportunity to Artists
The National Arts Festival put out a call late last year for artists to propose mechanisms for the curated programme of the 2021 festival. Now the festival is probing artists who are attentive in presenting work on the 2021 Fringe to tell them more about their thoughts for live and digital work that could be part of the Fringe.
The festival is hoping to continue to play their part by providing a platform where artists can be understood and heard, irrespective of circumstance. Now more than ever, performers need spaces where their thoughts and assistances can be created and experienced by audiences in South Africa and across the world. People are living in strange and uncertain times but, as was the case last year, we know we can host the Festival by being flexible and strong.
If you are an artists, you can express your interest in being part of the National Arts Festival’s Fringe by going through the website with the route of registering to attend a useful webinar about the 2021 Fringe on Thursday, 4 February at 2pm.
