CONTINUING to address the issues of social cohesion, job creation, skills development, pride and self confidence in the young, TAPAS is the title of Artscape's 2008 Youth Collaboration. It brings together a hand picked cast and artistic directors who give a glimpse into a kaleidoscope of the diverse cultures of Cape Town.

Along with La Rosa Spanish Dance Theatre's Trainees and Youth Ensemble and young aspiring vocalists directed by Melanie Scholtz, these young professionals are guaranteed to serve up a menu of musical treats. Performances are at 19:00 from July 3 to 5 in the Artscape Theatre with a matinee on Saturday,.July 5 at 14:30.

Tapas or Spanish for "savoury snacks", comes with all the ingredients to stimulate your creative taste buds - traditional Flamenco, Latin Classics, frivolous Latin Pop, Spanish-tinged Broadway musical numbers and Afro-fusion Flamenco, a beautiful blend of our familiar rich flavours.

Artscape is privileged to work with singer Melanie Scholtz and Spanish dancer, teacher and choreographer, Carolyn Holden in association with Mark Hoeben, consulting director and Jeremy Quickfall musical director.

Adding to the professional team is a band of recognised musicians - Gorm Helfjord (guitar), Dave Ridgeway (bass) and André Swartz (drums), Bienyameen (Flamenco guitar) and Maria Cortes (cajon). The young vocalists include Talia Alexis, Madré Beukes, Shaun Klaasen, Natisha van Zyl, Nomfundo Xaluva and Paul Morrisey. Styling is by Franco Prinz, Zethu Mtati also choreographs and Peter Agulhas is the ballet master.
