In the post-independence Nasserite period, Egypt represented an example of highly significant anticolonial nationalism, aimed to resist first World cultural hegemony. This article seeks to investigate how State theatre in postcolonial Egypt addressed the issue of Egyptian cultural identity, within the cultural project of the new emerging republic. An analytical descriptive study is conducted to identify how the Egyptian cultural project addressed the magnitude and complexity of the predicaments of the colonial experience. Furthermore, this study serves not only to identify authentication literary trends in modern Egyptian theatre, but also investigates how these trends reconciled authenticity and contemporaneity while affirming Egyptian cultural identity. The study reached the conclusion that emerging authentication trends were predominantly Reality and Heritage. The article also offers analytical case studies of State theatre productions during the Nasserite period, affiliated with the mainstreams of authentication. In addition, we examine how State theatre presented society’s visible and underlying needs in the post-independence period. The article thus seeks to bring together two areas of inquiry that are related to postcolonial studies: the question of cultural identity, and the role of theatre production in national liberation movements.","PeriodicalId":42236,"journal":{"name":"South African Theatre Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"98 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48826915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, some of Ola Rotimi’s plays are analysed, to investigate and document how his Yoruba and Ijaw cultural background became an important tool in the craftsmanship of his plays, especially those that comment on social issues. In addition, the study discusses the influence of Western drama on the drama of Ola Rotimi. Rotimi studied at Yale School of Drama and Boston University, in the United States of America. Consequently, his exposure to western dramatic theories, dramatic concepts, epochs in world drama and theatre shows, clearly, in many of his works. Furthermore, this study asserts that Rotimi was also influenced by the cultures of Yoruba Traditional Travelling Theatre, storytelling, rituals and festivals among the Yoruba people. The study relied primarily on secondary literature; and related Rotimi’s drama and theatre to Cremona’s (2007) concept of ‘Theatre as Poly-System’ and Sauter’s (2007) theory of ‘Theatrical Events’. Rotimi, in his dramaturgy, embraced ‘socio commitment’ by dramatizing issues that concern the Nigerian populace, in connection to socio-political and economic mishap, in his plays, such as Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again (1977), If … (1983), Hopes of the Living Dead (1988), the three-act plays: Who is a Patriot? When Criminals Turn Judges, Man Talk, Woman Talk, and Tororo, Torororo-ro-ro (2006).","PeriodicalId":42236,"journal":{"name":"South African Theatre Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"131 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48413248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It pursues the revolutionary character of the comedies against an increasingly limiting and impoverishing politico-economic environment. In our rendition, we depart from the general and simplistic thinking that comedy is solely for entertainment’s sake to view it as a puissant genre of art that is deployed not only to articulate big national issues but revolutionise consciousness given the danger of pacifying the people that goes along with oppression. The paper pursues the revolutionary agenda in the comedies as the comedians are inadvertently committed to the search for a breakthrough against a limiting and impoverishing politico-economic environment. Emerging out of this elucidation of comedies is that steeped in the comedies, is a sharp sense of resistance against oppression as well as an intense interest in liberating reflection and struggle. The centrepiece of the article is to comparatively engage Pepukai Zvemhari’s ‘Border phobia’ and Prosper Ngomashi’s ‘Pastor and his wives’ against the keen interest in lampooning those in charge of the affairs of the state for breeding trepidation and social phobia among the masses while on their part, life is decorated with profligacy and self-aggrandizement. The two comic skirts perfectly fall into the category of revolutionary art.","PeriodicalId":42236,"journal":{"name":"South African Theatre Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"79 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45312784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The national lockdown, enacted through the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002, disrupted multiple economic activities, including that of the Creative and Cultural industries. In the performance and celebrations domain, under which live events (.i.e., theatre and performance) and technical production services (i.e., technical support and services for theatre and performance) resort, the postponement or cancellation of events in the face of the pandemic had a devastating effect on lives and livelihoods. An initiative called #LightSAred, initiated by the South African Communications Industries Association (SACIA) and the Technical Production and Services Association, was one of the private initiatives aimed at extending financial relief to those who earn a living in the technical production and live events industry. However, the lack of reliable data about the industry's market and the impact of COVID-19 was a significant challenge in resource development and allocation. In response, the Sun Circle Group, a media company that services the live entertainment and professional audio-visual industries in South Africa, conducted an extensive online survey of businesses in this industry. For this study, permission has been obtained from the Sun Circle Group to analyse the secondary data set. Situated within the literature on the creative economy, analysing the secondary industry data in this article offers an understanding of the market position and perceived financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Live Events, Technical and Production Services industry. The results of this research support advocacy for a long-term national strategy to secure livelihoods and the sustainability of not only the Live Events, Technical and Production Services industry, but the CCIs as a whole.","PeriodicalId":42236,"journal":{"name":"South African Theatre Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"45 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47671124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This symbiosis is most relevant with regards to the director and actors as they spend the most conceptual time together in determining the narrative storytelling. The director assumes the role of a leader and should be encouraging and supportive of the actors’ uninhibited participation as actor-creators. It is the director’s leadership role that forms the focus for this study, where leadership research has revealed that being empathetic will result in stimulating resonance as a strategy for positive outcomes. This article is based on a case study undertaken through participatory-action research strategies to determine the impact empathy has on the devising process. The interactive relationship between the director and actors was analysed by studying the components of empathy: emotional contagion, cognitive empathy, and emotional disconnect. Further, this study served to establish how an empathetic director stimulates resonance during the devising process. Empathy stimulates resonance which subsequently implies that an impactful empathetic director would be able to validate resonance within the devising process. Experiencing resonance provides the actors with the necessary faith and trust in the creative collaboration and the director’s facilitation of the devising process. Establishing a resonant devising practice will encourage the performers to both participate and collaborate to the best of their ability and consequently stimulate a positive and constructive creative process. This article offers the outcomes of a case study that presents devising through an awareness of the three components of empathy towards generating and sustaining a resonant devising practice.","PeriodicalId":42236,"journal":{"name":"South African Theatre Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45109884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
