Projects and Productions
Productions
Back to the 80′s
Artéma, in co-production with Creative Entertainment, presented this musical on campus at the beginning of September 2008. We believe it was the right product and that it was performed at a high standard, but the ticket sales, in spite of intensive marketing, told another story.
Persreën
One of our greatest and proudest highlights of 2010 was the planning and execution of the production “Persreën” about the music of alumnus Johannes Kerkorrel.
20 Hande, 1 Hart
The Potchefstroom Campus of the NWU, under the patronage of the Office of the Rector, held a fundraising concert in aid of alumnus, Christa Steyn, on 25 February 2012
Grease
Brylcreem, combs and chewing gum took the campus by storm during the last week of August 2012 with the evergreen production Grease presented by Artéma and Alabama Productions, produced in association with PUK Arts.
Campus Talent Festival 30th Anniversary Concert
The first groundwork and planning for the establishment of a campus talent festival as exposure platform for students began in 1983 with Mr Horst Bütow, head of the former Culture Office (today PUK Arts), at the helm.
Projects
Project ““Thotloetso ya Mmino” (“Empowerment through Music”)
The Institute, in collaboration with Aardklop, undertook this project in 2007 in the capacity of project managers.
National Arts Management Symposi
The three National Arts Management Symposia presented by Artéma from 2006–2008 was the first of its kind within the arts environment in South Africa.
Klein Karoo Arts Academy
Artéma, in association with the ABSA KKNK and ATKV, is a founding partner of the Klein Karoo Arts Academy. This academy’s first project was executed successfully at the end of August 2008.
Flip-a-Coin Tour to Namibia
On request of the ATKV, Artéma arranged a tour to Namibia for the well-known a cappella group Flip-a-Coin.
Project Promosa
The ATKV had this project since the Aardklop National Arts Festival came into existence in 1998 until 2010. This project focused on basic arts development and exposure to the arts for the community of Promosa outside Potchefstroom
“Ke na le toro” (“I have a dream to unite people through the power of music”)
A conversation with the queen mother of the Royal Bafokeng Nation, Mmemogolo Seremane Molotlegi, led to a meeting where it was decided to record a CD at the Artéma Recording Studio.
