The POPArt Centre is an inclusive, collaborative venue that aims to be a home for the People of Performing Arts in Johannesburg. We intend to build an infrastructure that supports professionals in the industry by providing a networking hub, a place to flex and hone skills, generate and develop ideas and work, as well as a venue for performances.
The POP Art Centre has found a home in the newly developed cultural hub, The Maboneng Precinct and is situated on the
ground floor of Main Street Life, right next door to ‘we’re bringing independent cinema back’, The Bioscope, and the oh-so-trendy Arts on Main.
The POP Art Centre for Performing Arts has been created by actors. For actors. Because we need it.
To find out more about us and what we are about, spend some time cruising our site! If you simply want to find out what’s coming up in shows and workshops, look no further than the ticket window above.
Part of our goal is to create an unstoppable performing culture in Jozi. We think it is our responisibilty to start a new mentality amongst Jo’burg performers, that of: practice, practice, practice. Muscians are continuoulsy rehearsing with their instrunments, dancers are constantly stretching their bodies and as actors, what are we doing? We offer workshops for professional perfomers, a place for performers of all disciplines to work their craft. While we know it’s twee, it’s true! “Practise makes Perfect” and when you’re not getting hands on experience in the industry, we all need to have a place and platform to learn and develop! The workshops are all outcomes based, which, let’s face it, makes it more worthwhile.
Part of our aim is “to make performing possible” means that POPArt offers a great rehearsal space, based on each individual production. At POPArt, you have the opportunity to rehearse and create in a dedicated theatre space. Please contact us for more details on how rehearsal space works.
“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” right? We’ve all heard it a million times, and as much as we don’t want to admit it, it is kind of true. Because creating our own work is such an important aspect of being a performer in this country, networking evenings could be the first step in making your lightbulb moment idea into a LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION reality. Networking evenings are a time to meet the people who make it happen.
So you’ve met all the right people, you’ve put together a brilliant piece, your mom think’s you’re a genius and your cat gave you a standing ovation… now what?
Most of us don’t have the budget or the balls to rent out a space to bring our pieces to the people. POPArt offers performers a stage at reasonable rates again to make the dream of perfomring possible.
If you’re working on a piece, or have a piece that’s good to go, tell us about it in a proposal. Please note, we are not producers (yet!) but we will co-market the pieces with you!
