Need a mid-year break?




The Easter holidays came very early this year so if you’re heading towards the middle of the year feeling ragged already then it’s no wonder! The push to midyear is stressful enough but what lies on the other side of the midyear bump is even more intense.



Stress levels start to spike, road rage incidents are on the increase, managers who were previously understanding and supportive are becoming impatient and shorttempered and you’re not feeling yourself either. Your family life starts to suffer, the flu bug gets hold of you and you’re not quite sure you’re going to make it. All very good reasons you should be planning a midyear break. It doesn’t have to be a long break. A quick getaway to reset your equilibrium and your family’s is really all you need.
WorldVentures has some ideas on how you can relax on one of their DreamTrip holidays – hassle free as they do all the work for you because there really isn’t any point in planning a holiday when it’s as stressful as getting through a day’s work.

Rest with the beasts of Africa:
On this DreamTrip to Zimbabwe, you’ll be staying in Antelope Park, an area dedicated to the conservation of African lions. Walk alongside these majestic big cats through the Zimbabwe bush, then watch from close by as the pride rushes toward a pile of meat, their deep roars rumbling and vibrating the ground as they feast.

Doing it Island Style:
Island hopping in the Seychelles aboard a 21cabin motor yacht Pegasus. Winter blues can really get the better of you when it gets cold in South Africa, why not pop across to the beautiful tropical islands in the warm Indian ocean to revive yourself.

This will float your Boat:
Head out on a sightseeing river safari aboard a pontoon boat and see a variety of indigenous wildlife, including waterloving birds, hippos, elephants and more. Discover even more of Zimbabwe’s flora and fauna – including lions, leopards and buffalo – on a game drive around the Zambezi River. Meet and interact with the Wild Horizons elephants, gentle giants known for their friendly demeanor. Visit the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust and learn more about the organization dedicated to raising awareness of sustainable natural resources and environmental conservation.

Switch off to the sights and sounds of Zim:
This DreamTrip to Zimbabwe is a oneofakind adventure filled with possibility. The excursions available to travellers include a game drive, cultural village tour and sundowner cruise to experience the lakeside sunset.

Assault your senses with the Serene:
This DreamTrip to Namibia takes you on one thrilling ride after another, beginning with a dolphin and seal cruise aboard a spacious catamaran. Sip sundowner cocktails on a leisurely nature drive to one of the most picturesque points on Sossusvlei Lodge’s private reserve. Take in stunning sights at Sesriem Canyon and explore Deadvlei and Sossusvlei, salt and clay pans surrounded by vibrant red dunes. Many of these dunes reach heights of more than 250 meters, reflecting the golden light of the sun as it rises over the vlei.

Events around SA, News for Photographers and Jobs in SA


Gateway will be packed full of Events this December

Glenwood Community Forum Christmas Carols in the Park & Glenwood Night Market:
Bulwer Park, Glenwood: Sat 30 Nov from 5pm
A bumper evening of outdoor festive activity is scheduled for Bulwer Park on Saturday 30 November: a Night Market and a Christmas Pageant. 
There will be an original Christmas Pageant, starting at 7pm called Sipho’s Christmas Gift. It is a quaint South African Christmas parable interwoven with a programme of beautifully- chosen carols sung by candlelight. 
People are asked to bring picnic blankets and enjoy the show and carols. Supper is available before and after the pageant – the usual Bulwer Market has a special one-off night market which offers outdoor picnic style supper including tasty Lebanese flatbread and curry. There will be an array of stalls offering gift ideas, décor items, arts and crafts on sale.

Pansa needs your help with a coffee table book

The PANSA coffee table book of South African dance is nearing completion, so we are making a last call for contributions of both text and photos. Your voluntary contributions to the book will be much appreciated, and acknowledged in the book. Content we are looking for includes, but is not limited to:
  • written contributions, in the form of history of dance organisations, anecdotes of leading personalities, brief biographies of important and ground-breaking dance practitioners
  • high-resolution digital images of dancers, choreographers, or dance productions
  • insights into the history of contemporary dance in SA, important milestones and personalities, or any other content that you think might be relevant.

All contributions to the book will be treated with the care and attention they deserve. While we cannot guarantee that every photograph or line of text will be included, all contributions used in the book will be acknowledged.

Important legal stuff
By sending the images and/or text to us for inclusion in the book, you warrant that:
1. You are the owner of the complete copyright and all other rights in the material submitted.
2. The content submitted does not infringe any existing copyright or any licence or any other right of any person, organisation or company.
3. The material submitted does not contain plagiarised, obscene or objectionable material or anything of a libellous or scandalous character.

If the content submitted does not belong to you, or is subject to copyright by some other body, you provide full details of such person or organisation to enable us to contact them for permission to use the content.

Final date for last contributions is 31/12/2013.

A HUGE thank you to all those people who have already sent us photos and biographies. The fact that we have already heard from you does not preclude you from sending more photos, or from referring us to other dancers/choreographers or photographers, or referring them to us. The more inclusive we can make the book, while staying within the bounds of contemporary dance, the better.

One last thing that we ask. If any of you have any suggestions of who you think should be asked to write a foreword/introduction, we would like to hear from you. Please include contact details for the person you suggest, and a short motivation as to why you think they should be the person to do it. While we have our own ideas on this (but no consensus as yet) we will consider any suggestions you have. And your suggestion might sway the team one way or the other! 

Please email contributions to dancebook@pansa.org.za
