Magnet Theatre

Magnet presents a programme of 6 brand new enchanting shows for children up to the age of seven. The shows have been created under the mentorship of Jennie Reznek from Magnet Theatre and Barbara Kölling from Helios Theatre in Germany with  innovative designs by Asiphe Lili and Puleng Stewart. Performing in the works are Magnet Theatre’s final year Full Time Training and Job Creation Programme trainees as well as six guest artists from Uganda, Lesotho, Botswana, and Mozambique.

The casts of performers are trained specifically to engage and communicate with young audiences in a six-week long incubation process with Jennie Reznek and guest children’s theatre specialists Barbara Kölling and Anna-Sofia Zimniak from the Helios Theatre Company in Germany. The project aims to skill a whole new cohort of young actors in the creation of work for pre-school children.

Each production explores a different material, captivating and fascinating the audiences with Magnet Theatre’s particular brand of play and physical  theatre. Using mostly the language of the body, song and strong images these 6 productions offer totally unique South African and African theatrical experiences.
