The funding will be used to mount a production with the theme \u201cloving our land and its heritage\u201d. It explores ways of creating awareness of our depleting natural resources and how we can find ways of leaving a positive environmental footprint for future generations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jennie Reznek, co-founder and one of the Artistic Directors of Magnet Theatre, says the theatre is an independent physical theatre company that has been operating in and outside of South Africa for the past 37 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says Magnet runs the Training and Youth Upliftment Trust. These are multi-layered educational programmes that are aimed at the transformation of young people\u2019s lives and the theatre industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll are skills development initiatives that help youth bridge the gap to tertiary education and employment in the creative economy. To date, our youth development programmes have been instrumental in facilitating access for 37 first generation university students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reznek says they are grateful for the funding injection. She says this will allow them to continue to support young people as they are committed to using theatre as a way of expressing their concerns and stories and educating audiences about their context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is so important for us that we have received this support from the City. It means that together with them we are able to continue to skill young people to become employable and able to create their own income generating products. This will be a small but significant contribution combating the extremely high level of youth unemployment in the city.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says this will be a \u201csmall but significant\u201d contribution combating the high level of youth unemployment in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Ross says the recipients have projects in various communities, and, with the City\u2019s assistance, they are now able to reach a much wider audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving a creative outlet is crucial to anyone, and now, through these projects, hundreds of young people and community members will be part of creative cultural experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Ross says by supporting the arts, they are encouraging young people to increase their knowledge and become active citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParticipating in structured arts activities enhances cognitive abilities and the social skills that support learning, communication and problem-solving. I encourage our youth to participate in the programmes when the opportunities arise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nine local art organisations have been thrown a lifeline
