Improvision and TheatreSports
On today’s show we interviewed Megan Furniss from the theatre company- Improvision. She spoke about TheatreSports which is improvised theatre. Two teams of actors play out a series of improvised games. Because each scene is totally made up on the spot no one knows what to expect, but the result is said to be surprisingly logical, engaging and incredibly funny to watch. Once a year they run TheatreSports courses which are open to performers and non-performers that want to learn how to improvise. From Tuesday 1 July to 31 December 2008 you can watch their improvisers make up scenes on the spot in a variety of styles, accents and characters based on suggestions from the audience. The shows are said to be fun and is suitable for all ages. The shows will take place every Monday at the Intimate Theatre (across Labia) and every Tuesday at the Kalk Bay Theatre.

Camagwini
We ended off today’s show with musician Camagwini. She was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best African Contemporary album at the2008 SAMA awards. Her musical influence
and her soulful interpretations of Afro-traditional songs come from observing, part
icipating and interpreting Xhosa folklore songs. Her
debut album Zivile is traditionally laced with the melodic sound of the Maskandi guitar by Nothi Ntuli and concertina by
Zaba ‘Skhindi’ Zondi whilst Steve Zule and Joel Klein give the album a nice fusion of Afro-soul and jazzy played acoustic and electric guitars.
