Year 10 

for the love of the arts 

10 – 19 JUNE 2022

Welcome from the Festival Director 

We are proud to celebrate ten years of the Hermanus Fynarts Festival, launched from the Tourism 

Bureau in 2013. 

At this time we look back over the years with thanks and gratitude, as we anticipate the future 

with hope and confidence. FynArts has continued to develop both as a an arts festival and as an 

organisation that now includes the FynArts Development Fund (2017) and the FynArts Gallery (2018). 

This would not have been possible without the loyal support and generosity of so many FynArts champions. 

Our heartfelt thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Patrons and Friends of FynArts, artists and presenters, 

the Overstrand Municipality, the media, advisors and many volunteers – and, of course, to you, our old and new festival 

goers. 

My sincere appreciation and thanks also to the members of our Advisory Board for their guidance on festival matters, 

including the annual programme, as well as to our Executive Committee for their advice and management of the 

business of FynArts. 

A personal word of deep gratitude to our Administrative Coordinator, Chantel Louskitt, for her 

commitment, dedication, hard work and sense of humour. It is a privilege to have had her on-side 

for the past ten years. 

In reflecting on the past decade, all seven previous festival artists will take part in a group exhibition 

in the FynArts Gallery. Sculpture on the Cliffs will also exhibit works by a selection of previous artists. 

Looking forward we launch, amongst others, the FynArts Development Platform, the first Primary 

School Choir Celebration and a short series of Breakfast Talks. 

Welcome to FynArts 10. We trust you will be entertained, stimulated, inspired and challenged by the 2022 festival 

programme.

Message from the Chairman 

Message from the Chairman 

In 2020 I took over as Chairman from Martin Ranger, our first chairman, who had served on the 

committee since 2014. A sincere thank-you to Martin for all his efforts and for playing an important 

role in leading the Management Committee (MANCO). 

I would like to offer a special word of thanks to each committee member. 

Frieda Lloyd, vice-chairperson, represents Hermanus Tourism. Amongst others, her advice on tourism 

matters is invaluable. 

In 2020 Johan Maritz took over from Juan Pieterse as our accountant. Thank you to Juan who fulfilled this role since 

the inception of the Festival. We are grateful for Johan’s commitment to this financial role ever since he joined the 

committee. 

Lou-Anne Lubbe provides expert advice on many matters, including on those related to human resources. 

Zanele Booysens and Lincoln Wildschut are new committee members. Zanele and Lincoln are the Principals of 

Zwelihle Primary School and Mount Pleasant Primary School respectively. We thank them for the contribution 

they have already made in this year’s festival programme in which, for the first time, all eleven primary schools will take 

part. 

Mary Faure, the Festival Director and Chantel Louskitt, the Administrative Coordinator. What a formidable executive 

team. A ‘never-say-die’ team! We are thankful to these two people for their tireless efforts in making the Hermanus 

FynArts Festival such a wonderful success. 

On behalf of the Management Committee, welcome to the tenth FynArts Festival. We trust that you will enjoy

Opening Concert 

Celebrate the return of the FynArts Opening Concert with Richard Cock 

and some of the many friends he has introduced to us over the last 10 

years. Since 2013 we have been entertained with exciting and uplifting 

programmes that have ranged from Bach to Billy Joel and a host of 

composers in between. 

Expect a memorable and fun-filled 

performance by these two well-known, 

classically trained pianists who also 

enjoy playing light music and jazz. 

For this concert they will perform works 

by Bach, Johann Strauss, Richard Strauss, 

Brahms, Dvořák, Mike Cornick and others. 

This year’s programme has been chosen to both celebrate the past ten 

years of the FynArts Festival and to commemorate this era in which 

we are living. Music composed by César Franck – who was born 200 years 

ago – as well as by Brahms and Schubert, will be included in the playlist.

Gertrude Stein and a Companion 

Shirley Johnston as Gertrude Stein 

Lynita Crofford as Alice B Toklas 

Gertrude Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright 

and art collector. She moved to Paris in 1903 and made 

France her home. 

Alice Toklas was Gertrude Stein’s great love and wrote 

her memoir-disguised-as-cookbook, chronicling their life 

together. 

Stein and Toklas rejected the conservative values of middleclass 

America in the early 1900s and found refuge in the 

bohemian decadence of Paris and in each other. Together 

they hosted expatriate American writers, such as Ernest 

Hemingway and Thornton Wilder, and avant-garde painters, 

including Picasso and Matisse. 

Written by Win Wells and Directed by Chris Weare. 

SUN 12 18:30 – 19:30 

An Evening of Jazz 

Darren English Jazz Trio

a Global Peace Song 

Award in the Jazz 

Category in Los 

Angeles in 2018. 

When he is not in 

South Africa, Darren 

lives in Atlanta, USA 

and is strongly 

influenced by great 

trumpeters and 

pianists. In 2016 

he formed a trio of 

drums, an acoustic 

base, and himself 

on both piano and 

trumpet. 

Earlier in the day Darren will also take part in Shado 

Twala’s presentation My Encounter with Jazz (Pg 17).

There will be a short interval during this performance. 

Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman provides the 

thread from which a multi-coloured and multi-textured 

fabric of moods and sounds is woven. 

Love, mystery, grace, indulgence, and beauty are 

expressed in this selection of music by inspirational, 

yet still significantly under-performed women composers 

from around the globe.

virtuosic Romanticism, passionate Spanish flamenco 

song, and the atmospheric lyricism of nostalgic

Smile 

Godfrey Johnson 

Godfrey has carved out 

a unique space and style 

of musical theatre, 

redefining the concept 

of the one-man show. 

Filling the stage with 

a cast of characters with 

his voice and a piano, 

his one-man shows are 

complete theatre. 

SMILE celebrates the 

genius of Charlie Chaplin 

in an all new musical theatre piece for which Johnson has 

composed an original score. This multi-media experience 

also features some of the classic, familiar Chaplin originals. 

Created by Godfrey Johnson and Mark Graham-Wilson. 

Directed by Mark Graham-Wilson.

Here be Dragons 

Performances 

The Enlighten Education Trust (EET) joins with 

FynArts in a double celebration – the 20 th year 

of the EET and the 10 th of Hermanus FynArts. 

The music department is one of the oldest 

projects within the EET. This concert 

celebrates the art of marimba-playing. 

During the past years thousands of learners 

in schools in the Overstrand have enjoyed 

music-making in both an informal, relaxed 

manner, as well as more formally through 

receiving excellent results in examinations. 

The marimba section has won many awards 

and prizes both Nationally and Internationally. 

Venue: Anglican Church 

Tickets: No charge. A donation through 

Webtickets or at the door would 

be much appreciated. 

This extraordinary Folk Baroque group comprises Josh Frank 

(recorders/guitar), Annien Shaw (baroque violin), Mariechen Meyer 

(double bass), John Pringle (percussion) and Jan-Hendrik Harley 

(baroque violin/viola/guitar, mandolin). 

Their name is a homage to warnings written on early exploratory 

maps to indicate where the known world ends – beware, beyond 

this point is the unknown. But to them it is also a reminder to keep 

pushing the boundaries of music interpretation into the unknown, 

which makes for captivating programmes and exhilarating 

performances. 

The group combines unexpected European musical styles, 

influences and instrumentation while delivering exceptional 

instrumental performances by renowned composers with original 

songs by Jan-Hendrik, the ensemble’s director and composer. 

This concert will be enjoyed by those who appreciate classical 

and/or folk music.

A programme of popular music for the whole family 

closes the festival with performance by the full Youth 

Wind Ensemble and percussion ensemble, as well as 

solos played on flute, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, 

trumpet, horn, trombone, and tuba! A great introduction 

to wind instruments for all ages. 

For nearly 20 years, the Cape Town Youth Wind Ensemble 

(CPYWE) has been amongst the foremost wind bands in 

the city performing under the direction of its conductor, 

wind band specialist Faan Malan. The CPYWE was formed 

to shape the musical lives of talented young people 

mainly from areas without access to music education. 

Many of its 60 members perform as ad hoc musicians 

in the CPO, paving the way for a career in music. 

Thank you to our benefactors, David and Sal Carter, 

for their generous support of the Closing Concert.

My Encounter with Jazz 

Shado Twala 

and Darren English 

In the 1950’s music was inspired by 

cultural traditions, religion and the 

African American music that filtered 

through the wireless. 

Now known as jazz, these rhythms 

and sounds led to a new language 

for social commentary and, in South 

Africa, on the dire living conditions 

in a township. An endless list of 

musicians were driven into exile, 

including Miriam Makeba, Hugh 

Masekela and Jonas Gwangwa. 

Those who stayed, energised a new 

generation of musicians, poets 

and storytellers. 

Jazz musician, Darren English, 

will highlight this talk with 

a few musical excerpts.

performing in major musicals all over

They worked with the region’s 

most famous musicians, endured 

threatening Special Branch 

attention, had their

To the Last Man 

James Gray and Morné du Plessis 

If ever there 

was a story that 

deserves to be 

told and retold 

it is that of the 

heroic last stand 

of the 6 th Battery 

of the Natal Field 

Artillery (NFA) on 

13 th June 1942 in the Libyan desert of 

North Africa. 

On the 80 th anniversary of Rigel 

Ridge James and Morné, who has a 

personal family interest in the events 

of that day, reflect on the little-known 

battle. Brilliantly led by a young 

23 year old artillery Major, John 

Newman, the men of the NFA fought 

to the last man. Why did they not 

retreat like the rest of the defeated 

British 8 th Army and what was the 

importance of their defiant stand?

To the Last Man 

James Gray and 

Morné du Plessis 

If ever there 

was a story that 

deserves to be 

told and retold 

it is that of the 

heroic last stand 

of the 6 th Battery 

of the Natal Field 

Artillery (NFA) on 

13 th June 1942 in the Libyan desert of 

North Africa. 

On the 80 th anniversary of Rigel Ridge 

James and Morné, who has a personal 

family interest in the events of that 

day, reflect on the little-known battle. 

Brilliantly led by a young 23 year old 

artillery Major, John Newman, the 

men of the NFA fought to the last 

man. Why did they not retreat like the 

rest of the defeated British 8 th Army 

and what was the importance of their 

defiant 

stand? 


Siya has trained and given 

opportunities to many unknown 

artists, a few of whom have since 

received major contracts including 

Nomcebo Zikode (Jerusalema hit 

singer). 

Edwin began his 

three-year term as 

inspecting judge of 

the Judicial 

Inspectorate for 

Correctional Services 

in January 2020.

children will create their 

own set of leaf benches, 

tables, nests, toadstools 

and fairy houses that 

capture the magic 

and wonder of their 

imagination. 

Children will create 1-3

bowls to hold pencils, 

trinkets or to be used as 

planters. Children will 

explore the versatility of 

clay to express textures 

through carving, stamps 

and texture moulds.

From Average to Great 

Leanne Dryburgh and Peter Hassel 

Do you have too many of the same 

photographs on your cell phone? 

Are they all average? 

Do you go through them to find the 

best one – or is the job just simply too 

big and too boring? 

Abstract art looks simple but can 

become messy very easily. 

Creating abstract landscapes that 

have balance and interest requires 

a knowledge of composition and 

a few basic techniques. 

If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the above 

questions, then join Leanne and 

Peter of the Photowalkers on this 

beginners’ workshop. 

Learn how to take fewer and more 

appealing photographs, ones that 

you will be proud to share. 

During this workshop you will 

practice and finish one abstract 

art work.

FynArts Development Fund 

The FynArts Development Fund (178 125 NPO) is the sole beneficiary of the FynArts Festival (930070839 PBO). 

The purpose of the Fund is to promote the arts and the business of the arts by offering support, skills development and 

education opportunities in underserved communities in Greater Hermanus throughout the year. 

Festival Participation 

Over the past nine years, thanks to our festival supporters and benefactors, more than 5 500 children, youths and adults 

have been sponsored, to attend workshops and other events. A number of events have also been presented at schools 

during the festival. 

This year the FynArts Youth Development Platform will be launched with the goal of offering opportunities to aspiring 

film-makers, poets, actors, artists and musicians to showcase their work during the festival. In addition, the first Primary 

School Choir Celebration will take place (pg 9) as well as a Primary School Writing Project and Exhibition (pg 59).

Storytelling with Sindiwe Magona

Skills – Identification, Development and Training 

A few recent highlights: In 2019, an Early Learning Music Project was initiated at four pre-schools and creches in 

Zwelihle and Mount Pleasant. The project was interrupted by Covid19 and did not resume when Axolile Hoza, our 

musician and community worker accepted full time employment as the Artistic Director of the Handevat Music Project. 

However, the musical skills learnt by the staff at the four centres, live on. 

At the end of 2021, five temporary staff from the Tourism Office commenced training as ‘guides’ to conduct walkthroughs 

of the Sculpture on the Cliffs exhibition. This project is planned to extend to Gallery Walks for visitors to meet 

the gallerists, and where possible, the artists. 

2018 – Luvo Maranti 

In 2018 Luvo Maranti, 

an intern working at Abagold, 

was sponsored by the company 

to take part in a FynArts 

workshop offered by George 

Stevens (now deceased), 

who was the Acting Head 

of the UCT Opera School. 

As a result, Luvo was invited 

to audition for opera studies 

as a full-time student. 

An enthusiastic 

baker was 

sponsored to 

attend a cake-icing 

workshop in 2019. 

She has established 

a thriving home

FynArts Youth Development Platform 


Instead of waiting for the artists to come and ask for help the Youth Platform is launched this year as an outreach 

project to find aspiring filmmakers, poets, actors, artists and musicians living Zwelihle, Hawston and Mount Pleasant. 

The platform has the potential to offer artists a larger and more diverse audience. It is hoped that this year’s limited 

programme will be extended in future festivals – and that some performers and artists might one day perform on 

the main programme. 

Venue: Moffat Hall for all performances 

Tickets: No charge. Donations appreciated and will be split 50/50 between the artists and Development Fund 

to sustain and initiate additional projects.

Voice Out 

Yonela Nella 

Voice Out is a play with a message 

to women that are being abused to 

stand up and talk about their issues 

– because when they hide something 

in their heart it grows and it comes 

out wrong and creates unnecessary 

drama. 

The play is also about women 

being abused 

by men and 

that the 

government 

is failing. 

The question 

is asked – 

where should 

women go?

but it really does have its rewards. 

Life is hard but for teenagers 

it’s even harder. Overcoming 

and embracing your differences 

will truly change your life for the 

better.” 

‘At the end of the performance enjoy 10 finger snapping, foot tapping, 

jaw dropping minutes of musical performances brought to you by 

10 of our insanely talented students.’

Poetic Moments 

Shamar Speaks and Carla Jonkers 

Shamar is a writer, poet 

and author who started 

writing as 

therapy when she was 

depressed. 

Her first book is 

compiled out of 

deep poetry about 

her experiences. 

Carla believes in 

the power of words. 

Publishing her first 

book was an 

opportunity to share 

both positive and negative thoughts with 

others. Her poems are based on personal 

experiences in which she shares 

a message of hope. 

Both writers will read from their books 

as well as new works.

to children, youths and adults who, due to socio-economic limitations, would not able to take part in these skills 

development events. Sponsored and reduced price tickets will also be available for learners and teachers for all other 

festival events. 

The Platform will also offer ongoing skills development, networking and other support. During the festival this will 

include the following.

disadvantaged communities with 

the opportunity for enjoyment, 

empowerment and the promotion 

of self-esteem through the medium 

of dance.

These videos could be used by 

the artists for marketing purposes 

on their social media platforms.

Ebb and Flow 

Curated by Dal Botha 

The twenty-two invited artists have 

interpreted the theme, Ebb & Flow: 

a recurring pattern of coming and going 

or decline and growth, particularly relevant 

to our present times. 

Over the past forty years fibre work has 

become increasingly conceptual with fibre 

artists creating artworks that are influenced 

by cultural, social, environmental and 

political issues. These artworks will be textile 

only or textiles used in combination with 

mixed media, including paper.

We cannot rely on the world’s 

politicians to act for the future 

well-being of life on earth. Intethe

focus highlights the immediacy of 

the precarious circumstances and 

the vulnerability of life on our planet.

Wanderings & Wonderings 

Lembu 

Nature’s Gift 

For his FynArts 

exhibition, 

resident 

artist Edward 

Bredenkamp 

explores the gifts 

that nature 

brings. 

Pre-pandemic, Edward was most 

well-known for his iconic 

‘Red Elephants.’ During lockdown, 

a Coral Tree in the garden captured 

his attention and the constant 

coming and going of sunbirds and 

white-eyes soon provided new 

inspiration.

Jubilation 

Nic van Rensburg 

Armand van Rensburg 

Armand van 

Rensburg, will be 

featuring small and 

life-size sculptures in 

bronze or acrylic resin 

pigments, in this, 

his first solo exhibition. 

The diverse collection 

is inspired by the 

human form – figures and faces. 

In a subjective perspective, 

he distorts form for emotional 

effect or to evoke a mood. His work 

is influenced by classic renaissance 

sculpture, impressionism and 

expressionism.

Primary School Learners 

Happiness is ... 


To wander 

means 

to travel 

or move. 

To wonder 

means 

to think, 

question, 

or ponder. 

You wonder 

and you 

wonder until you wander out into 

Infinity, where, if it is to be found 

anywhere, Truth really exists. 

– Marita Bonner 

All our regular 

artists will have some 

of their work on 

display. This includes 

paintings, sculptures, 

ceramics (Ardmore), 

homeware 

(Ardmore), glassware 

(David Reade) and 

high quality prints. 

Learners, from Grades 1 – 7 at all 

eleven primary school in Greater 

Hermanus will write or draw 

their interpretation of happiness 

as a feeling, experience or material 

object. 

We thank the principals and 

teachers for their support and 

enthusiasn for this first writing 

collaboration with the FynArts 

Festival.

Opening: Saturday 11 June 2022

anthropomorphic world to meditate on a human condition within
