Artistic Director Kate Stafford writes:
Bilimankhwe is expanding, and finally, after a long time looking, we have found the perfect Creative Producer. Georgina (George) Bednar is currently working for the Barbican; however, due to her freelance producing career taking off, she is now available to help us at Bilimankhwe to fulfil our potential as leading practitioners in African theatre. Hurrah!!
George is the retiring Artistic Director of Muju, a Muslim and Jewish theatre organisation based at the Tricycle. Which is a lovely bit of serendipity, as our autumn project, a tour of playreadings by Mike Van Graan, includes Brothers in Blood, a play about Muslim/Jewish/Christian relations in Capetown, South Africa.
So the Arts Council grant has come in, and we are almost cast for the play readings which are being produced at Afrovibes2014. We're going to be reading the two plays in London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle so there's a lot to organise. More info is on our website here: http://www.bilimankhwe-arts.org/#!afrovibes-2014/c1rsg
There's a lot more in the pipeline ... so expect rather more regular blog updates. I'm hoping that both George and Amy (Associate Artistic Director) will be contributing interesting, entertaining pieces for your delectation. So watch this space, and follow us on twitter @bilimankhwearts
