The role of craft in poverty alleviation in semi-rural communitiesPillay, Tania January 2015 (has links)
This treatise explores the role of craft and craft training as a tool within poverty it looks to question the sustainability of this approach. The research was conducted amongst three community school sites. These were structured to better the relationships between schools and community members, in particular school parents. As the data had been collected through open questionnaires, after the first phase of implementation, it found that each site was trained in entrepreneurship and a craft skill. These were exercised through a selling opportunity within the Sundays River Valley. Assessments of the project looked to question and consider not only the implementation and framework of the project, but the expectations of both the participants and the facilitators. The data collected was reviewed in regards to the SRV Project’s goals and successes, as well as the universal measurements of success viewed within craft based projects and programmes with a poverty reduction focus. Findings showed that the project, though successful in meeting the basic goals, faced challenges in regards to funding, time constraints, participation consistency and challenges in market and product understanding. Recommendations were made in accordance with indicators highlighted in successful and sustainable models of craft based poverty alleviation projects.

Multi-Disciplinary Review and Comparison of Project Management for Social Engagement PracticesCrutchfield, Nicole Boudreaux January 2017 (has links)
This paper explores the practices of natural resources management, community development, and public arts by comparing the integration of social engagement as part of project management. All three of these practices originate from goals of social change and continue to advance in their disciplinary fields. Community-Based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) is framed in the natural resources management discipline. Community Development (CD) practice is framed in public participation and city planning disciplines. Creative Placemaking (CP) practice is framed in the public art discipline. These disciplines point to the intent to transform existing culture with the goal of becoming more democratic, socially just, transparent, and inclusive. Through the analysis of project management traits, key components are identified for successful project implementation with the goal of resulting in healthy and vibrant communities.

Arts in action: a public arena for art: the practical, functional and social implications of art within a cultural context with specific reference to South AfricaRoss, Wendy 30 November 2005 (has links)
The research is based on the belief that the Earth's survival is reliant on an understanding of the interconnectedness between people
and the planet. The premise that creative expression is an inherent need in human beings and a powerful agent for social change
is at the core of this study. The arts permeate all aspects of life and can play a positive pro-active role in economic and social
upliftment. The study therefore explored a contemporary public context in which artists intervene in society to provide practical
and functional social spaces but also, with the ecological crisis of the planet, to create an awareness of the interconnectedness of
life. Place-making was of specific concern and one of the aims was to examine ways of re-shaping the appearance and meaning
of public spaces. An equally important issue was the role and responsibility of both the artist and the commissioning process in a social context and the relevance of individual expression as modes of addressing social concerns and as a tool of public empowerment within a new democratic South Africa that can have a genuine impact on community well-being and social inclusion. The research therefore exists in between the arts, social sciences and the ecology of place: that is, the understanding of the role of creative intervention within social spaces.
The study provides a historical context and development of new trends in public and collaborative community arts, contextualises
the notion of public and argues for a repositioning of assessment criteria for the arts within a social public domain and in the interest of the people. It is based on a critical survey of international collaborative arts and its potential as a guide to alternative solutions and implementation within a South African context for creative interventions and regeneration of public spaces and empowerment
and capacity building of its citizens. The research discusses the relevance and the position of the arts and craft industry as a means of poverty alleviation, job creation and empowerment in South Africa. Rebuilding community demands both the rejuvenation of
social spaces and the restoration of community esteem together with mutual and self-respect. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / D. Litt. et Phil (Art History)

The Rebellious Mirror,Before and after 1984:Community-based theatre in AotearoaMaunder, Paul Allan January 2010 (has links)
In this thesis I outline the contribution Community-based theatre has made to New Zealand theatre. This involves a defining of theatre production as a material practice. Community-based theatre was a tendency from the 1930s, a promise of the left theatre movement and, I argue, was being searched for as a form of practice by the avant-garde, experimental practitioners of the 1970s. At the same time, early Māori theatre began as a Community-based practice before moving into the mainstream.
With the arrival of neo-liberalism to Aotearoa in 1984, community groups and Community-based theatre could become official providers within the political system. This led to a flowering of practices, which I describe, together with the tensions that arise from being a part of that system. However, neo-liberalism introduced managerial practices into state contracting and patronage policy, which effectively denied this flowering the sustenance deserved. At the same time, these policies commodified mainstream theatre production.
In conclusion, I argue that in the current situation of global crisis, Community-based theatre practice has a continuing role to play in giving voice to the multitude and by being a practice of the Common.
