This thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts and Culture Management by dissertation, 2016 / This study looks into the artistic strategies employed by the Inner-City High Schools Drama Festival to promote an appreciation for arts and culture programmes in inner-city high schools and beyond, and, by extension, reflects on how the festival impacts on participants’ perceptions of Hillbrow as home. Through an analysis of South African art historian Lize van Robbroeck’s conceptual framework of community arts centres, this case study unpacks how site specificities of the centre being in Hillbrow, starts to debunk what has become a widely understood framework of arts centres as inherently pro-marginal, thereby associated with ‘blackness’, both during apartheid and post-apartheid. Qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews with the Hillbrow Theatre Project staff, facilitators and school teachers, focus group discussions with school-goers, letters and organisational documents have therefore been used in order to get a deeper understanding of the workings of the Outreach Foundation as a centre and its artistic programme under the Hillbrow Theatre Project called the Inner-City High Schools Drama Festival. The study reveals that the artistic strategies employed by the Inner-City High Schools Drama Festival are effective in promoting an appreciation for an arts and culture programme, and it further shows that the festival can indeed effect some measure of change in participants’ attitudes about Hillbrow as home. / GR2017

The University Interscholastic League (UIL) One-Act Play Contest is a competition where similarly sized Texas schools present an 18-40 minute play usually adjudicated by a single judge. At each level of competition the judge awards individual acting awards as well as selecting two productions to advance to the next level of competition. After the awards are announced the judge gives an oral critique to each of the schools. Because of the wide participation and diversity of plays produced, certain rules and guidelines have been adopted to ensure safety, allow for equity, satisfy legal standards, and make the running of the contest practical. These rules can be modified to achieve positive outcomes and improved educational results. Changes in the rules of a UIL contest are in accordance with stated educational objectives of the UIL. Occasionally, however, modifications in procedures raise questions. The problem of this study was to determine, from the perceptions of administrators and teachers, whether significant modifications in the rules and policies for the UIL One-Act Play Contest over a time span of 20 years have had impacts on the goals and procedures of the contest. The study utilized a qualitative approach through historical analysis and a survey to answer two research questions. Historical analysis identified the six modifications in the UIL OAP over the years 1986-2006. The survey instrument determined the impact of these changes on the goals and procedures of the contest. Based on the responses of the survey the competition experience has been enhanced by recent changes.
