Painting, dancing and making music kept us busy last week.

We painted with John Bauer, an artist from Cape Town, at the Caste of Good Hope. In the beginning he told us about his work and inspired us with his artwork. Afterwards each of us created our individual artwork with the help of some oil colour, feathers and cuddly toys. Our printings looked very creative and before we left, all our pictures were interpreted and signed by John Bauer.

The dancing with Theo from the iKapa Dance Theatre was a big challenge. Everyone did their best to do the African moves of Pantsula, Gumboot and African dance. We became better and better and in the end we could definitely show our faces. It was great fun to learn the traditional African dances.

Last but not least we headed to Gugulethu for a Drum workshop with Lucky. The group from Ilangale-Afrika showed us how to play the Marimbas and the Djembes and we played some nice African rhythms together.
