Upcoming Events

In May 2026, NonScenes in collaboration with the Quickening Theatre Company and the Tsikanye-Chaka Centre will be hosting workshops in Johannesburg and Cape Town, with a central  focus on the immortal words of William Shakespeare. The workshops  will take place at the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre (on 15th May) and a soon to be confirmed venue in Cape Town (on 23rd May) respectively. They will offer the young participants an opportunity to use Shakespeare's words to explore contemporary issues in South African society, and create their own performance pieces that speak to these issues.

​

In creating these performances, they will be guided by the Quickening Theatre Company’s founders and co-directors Bianca Amato and Kensiwe Tshabalala, both of whom are internationally recognized performers. 

​

Most exciting of all, the participants will get the opportunity to perform their pieces in front of a live audience at both venues.

​

Shakespeare NonScenes is partly funded by Liverpool John Moore University's Faculty of Society and Cultures Research Development Fund.
