KASI RC – Shack Art School & Theatre is a new ‘shack theatre’ in Khayelitsha. The not for profit performing arts training and performance space gives local youth a voice and a safe space. The program is not only allowing these incredible young people the chance to be seen and heard but is keeping them focused on a positive future and away from the gang, drug and drinking cultures in the township. Whether it’s in music, poetry, dance, or acting that is so raw and real it leaves you shaking, the depth of talent here is immense and it was a real privilege to watch, and for the kids to join them for a session of drama training.
