Culture

A Passion

For the Arts

Here in Riebieland, the culture pot simmers, bubble and boils over and all our achievements are proof of that.

In the culture pot, the following dishes (activities) for our culture hot shots are prepared and presented.

  • Junior Choir
  • Senior Choir
  • Revue
  • Eisteddfod
  • Public Speaking (Team and individual)
  • Redenaars (Span & individueel)

For both the choirs there are outside coaches namely Gert Pottas and Tertius du Plessis.

 

Our Revue dancing, singing, interpretive jerk and rolling bodies carry their audiences away to their world.

 

In Riebieland, the "smooth talkers" who like to have their say and make their point of view also get an opportunity to make their mark. They buzz and talk the world on fire. With Lydia Swanepoel (outdoor drama coach) involved in rounding teams and individuals off and leaving them perfect before each competition, the Riebies are sure to reap the rewards.

 

All the culture activities give every Riebie the opportunity to learn the skill of performing in front of audiences with ease.

 

If you are a culture tiger you'll find something in the culture pot for sure that you can feast on and carry those delicious, flavourful memories with you.
