The Grahamstown National
\n Arts Festival<\/a> just got word that it will have funding for the next 3 years
\n from the South
\n African National Lottery<\/a> – R10.5-million (currently about $1.3-million-US).
\n This is the biggest arts festival in all of Africa! It’s mostly dance and theatre,
\n and also sponsors some traditional and contemporary art (and one can’t forget
\n that festivals this big always have a fringe and a fringe-fringe…). I had
\n a great time there last year, both performing (the
\n double room)<\/i><\/a> and viewing stunning work such as Andrew Buckland’s "Feedback"
\n & Helen Iskander and James Cuningham’s "Baobabs Don’t Grow Here."
\n Lately, I have been thinking that the United States is really the only country
\n in existence (or Bush, Blair and Rummy are the only men?) and that they created
\n the rest of the "evil" world so that they could judge themselves as
\n "good" against it. But then, why do they need all that oil?
\n Being the only three men in the world, you’d think these
\n guys<\/a> would chat more…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
