South African Stories


In October-November 2000, I was invited by a colleague from England to join him at the University of Port Elizabeth to work with a group of young women from the New Brighton Township. These young women had formed a performance group, Tambora, mostly singing and dancing. I was there to teach workshops on creating and performing autobiographically based text. These are some of the stories that came out of the first workshops.

This work was supported by a grant from the Autumn Harp Foundation, Bristol, VT and by the generosity of friends and other supporters.
