Integrated Arts

"FATC @ Ebhudlweni’s educational programming focuses on inclusive Arts Education and skills development to provide geographically and financially accessible Arts Education and Accredited and Non-Accredited training to those living in remote rural communities. In this way it creates accessible, high quality Arts Education and Training models and programmes that are a viable and valuable alternative to the largely inaccessible education and tertiary training historically located in urban areas. The LEAP Programme forms an integral part of the majority of FATC's programming. Additionally LEAP has nurtured the skills and talent of young people interested in developing their creative interests. Through the dance medium, many young people have been absorbed into FATC’s bridging and training courses as interns and trainees. LEAP learners who have “grown” through the programme that is targeted at children and youth, up to 21 years of age, have also enjoyed the opportunity of creating for the My body My Space Public Arts Festival, and exchanging with myriad national and international artists. In totality, Women, Children and Youth make up FATCs largest beneficiary community, as artists, participants and audience of its arts initiatives, experiences and events."
