From the Hip :: Khulumakahle

from the hip: khulumakahle (or FTH:K) is a young, funky, Deaf/hearing integrated theatre company.

Our focus is to offer access to theatre training for the Deaf community and to prepare Deaf and hearing performers for entrance into both the professional theatre industry and for integration into the Company itself.

Our goal is to open South Africa's first Deaf and hearing Integrated Theatre Training Centre in Cape Town.

Through the medium of physical performance, our work has already won us the Arts & Culture Trust's Award
for Cultural Development Project of 2005 among others.

Pictures of You – Stellar team presents mesmerising visual theatre

At first sight, Frank and Janet’s marriage is the picture of perfection – neat, ordered, and respectable. But underneath lies a deeper truth – one of buried secrets and repressed desires that begin leaking out when Frank starts to dream. Quirky and visual, Pictures of You is a dramatic love story that explores the pleasure, pain, mistakes and forgiveness that govern our responses to being in love. Without saying a word.

This non-verbal performance is a collaborative result of the multi-award winning team of innovative director Rob Murray, soundscape artist James Webb, puppetmaster Janni Younge, and up-and-coming performers Liezl de Kock and Dorian Burstein.

After setting Grahamstown abuzz with excitement at the National Arts Festival in 2008, Pictures of You was voted Best Production at the National School’s Festival and played to sell-out houses at the Out the Box Festival.
