Description
Frequent Fliers (2021) is an audio drama based on interviews and stories told by members of the Second Chance Theatre Project. “Frequent fliers” is a colloquial term for repeat offenders.
The script was written and performed by members of the Second Chance Theatre Project and students from the Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies. The Second Chance Theatre Project is an engaged scholarship project linked to the University of Cape Town. The aim of the project is to work with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to devise original theatre pieces, develop transferable skills in theatre, and through theatre to create opportunities for social reintegration. Second Chance Theatre Project works in the languages of the Western Cape and incorporates local performance forms wherever possible.
Devised under COVID conditions, the script was collectively written and edited by project members with guidance from Zandile Mentjies and Veronica Baxter. The Project prefers to work through participatory improvisation, collective devising and scripting. The work is collectively owned, but the processes are guided by the principal research investigator, Associate Professor Veronica Baxter.
The project has been funded as a Community Engagement Project by the South African National Research Foundation (2019 – 2021). The views and opinions expressed here are those of the creators.
Frequent Fliers was performed by:
Cornell Bouwer, Tracey Geland Block, Marwaan Mamwell, Zikhona Madlalisa, Ashley Myla, Matthew Petersen and Zandile Mentjies (Second Chance Theatre Project), and Nawaal Adams, Veronica Baxter, Gaby du Toit (UCT).
Sound recording by Ronel Jordaan at the Little Theatre at UCT, and sound effects by Tracey Geland Block. Sound Editing by Naledi Majola.
