been running for three years, with events and entertainment created to educate
and celebrate comics and other related art forms. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Up-and-coming
15-year-old actor JC Du Toit’s career has skyrocketed in an incredibly short
space of time. The recent winner of Mr Personality and 1<sup>st</sup> Prince at
the Mr and Miss Willowridge High School competition, JC has also been selected
as an ambassador for the Forever Changed cancer awareness campaign. The
talented teenager is not only aiming to make his mark as a performer, but is
totally committed to raising awareness for a worthy cause – Forever Changed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Du
Toit became interested in the world of entertainment at a young age. As a child, he was fascinated by movies. He would watch TV for hours on end. “I love
powerful characters and good storylines. I was mesmerised by movies like <i>The
Godfather</i> and <i>Goodfellas</i>,” notes Du Toit. “I would rerun the scenes in my head
and act them out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%;">At the
age of 10, Du Toit asked his mom if he could take drama classes. At first, she
wasn’t convinced. She thought it was a passing phase, but he kept asking and
showing interest. He also took part in all his school productions. Eventually,
she realised he was serious. The school’s drama teacher encouraged him, realising his potential. Eventually, his mom contacted Melissa Lottering, a
professional acting coach, who immediately saw his incredible talent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Seed Experiences have organised some of the greatest, chilled

better. The latest event that Andrea Vermaak, editor of <i>Supernova, the mag for curious kids</i>, could attend was the Sowing
the Seeds Music and Lifestyle Festival, featuring Jungle, and the amazing Of
Monsters and Men. The event took place at Emmarentia Dam on 2 April 2016. Supporting
acts included local greats BCUC, December Streets, and the Matthew Mole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Of Monsters and Men was no exception. Hailing from Iceland,
the indie folk band sounded as great live as on their albums. Vocalists and
guitarists Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Thorhallsson were simply…magical.
They took us on a journey far away across the snow-topped mountains of their country with hit
single favourites ‘Little Talks’, ‘Mountain Sound’ and ‘Dirty Paws’, among others. They were
one of very few bands that also genuinely seemed to enjoy the crowd as much as
the crowd enjoyed them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s
the time of the year that we all look forward to – yes, it is the
December holidays. A time of fun where some of you go on family
vacations around the country and others stay home and relax – but
that doesn’t mean it can’t, and won’t be, exciting. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
holidays should be an opportunity to explore places and enjoy some
free time with friends and family.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of
course, while you are out exploring and having fun, don’t forget to
make sure you are always safe and that your parents know where you
are.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because,
even though this holiday time – no more homework, no after school
activities and of course no early morning wake-ups – you still need
to be responsible about your own safety. Especially, as over
this time, criminal activity can increase. So you can’t blame
parents for those phone calls, every now and again, to check that you
are safe, when you are at the mall or the ice rink.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
to make sure you can enjoy your holiday to the fullest, there are
ways for you to help your parents relax, while you go out with your
friends. In fact, there are app’s available online that can
actually help here.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.ttrumpet.co.za/">ttrumpet</a>
is an app that is easy to use and lets to your family and friends,
know exactly where you are, all via your phone – but of course only
once you have given them permission. For instance, through this app,
you can automatically tell your family and friends where you are or
where you are visiting, and you can even share pictures along the way
in real-time – all privately and for free, if they are using
ttrumpet as well? </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So,
if you are visiting a theme park in Cape Town or even going to the
Kruger National Park, this app allows you to share experiences with
your chosen friends along your journey – as often as you want –
and they can also tag you along the journey. Also, with this app, if
you are visiting a friend’s house or just going to the mall, it
will ‘tell’ your parents, when you have arrived safely or when
you are at home – so they don’t need to keep calling you.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And,
if you are ever in any trouble, you can press a panic button, which
sends an alert to your top five contacts, telling them that there is
a problem and your exact location. </span></span>
</div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In
fact, I would say that the top 8 top tips to help keep you safe while
you are online, are:</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Investigate the app you would like to download first – make sure
it’s a real app that is well used.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Keep your personal information private when you register as a user.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
If you don’t know the person – don’t trust them – when you
are online.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Think before you click.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Watch out for spam scams.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Don’t share private pictures online, as they always remain online.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Manage your friend’s list on social media platforms, only chat to
people you actually know.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·
Always log out from social media platforms when you are done using
them.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Having
fun in the December holidays is important, but so is staying safe. So
make it easy – and use your mobile, to help keep you in touch and
safe. </span></span></div>

biggest lesson we're really trying to learn, and it sounds strange,
is to 'be less perfect'. Not in an arrogant way, but in a digital
age, our music is too perfect. It is all edited and pushed into
perfect time, and every sound is massive and clean and quantized. You
have this pressure to play it flawlessly so people don't think you're
a bad musician and you forget that the impurities are what give it
character.</span></span></div>

how the young grow up and how they navigate the oceans. Most shark

<div lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
certainly agree that we are far more of a threat to sharks than the
other way round. Sharks have few natural predators, though killer
whales and seals may go for them. As their natural food is very often
fish, my guess would be that declining fish stocks would be a very
large threat.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB"><b>Why
is it so important to look after our sharks?</b></span> </span></span>
</div>
<div lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sharks
are top predators in the ecosystem of the sea. We know that on land
if top predators, like wolves or big cats, are taken out of
ecosystems, it can have a big effect on other species. It follows
that the same effect will happen in the sea.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>What
can we, even children, do to help save threatened species? </b></span></span>
</div>
<div lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There
are lots of ways to help. Most importantly, take an interest in
sharks and find out more about them. Tell your friends and family all
the cool facts about them. If people say that sharks are horrible and
scary then tell them they are fascinating, smart and complicated
creatures, and humans pose more of a threat to them than the other
way round. The first step in conservation is changing attitudes. As
you get older, you may want to learn how to snorkel or scuba dive,
then you could go and watch sharks in the wild. How cool is that?</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Can
I choose three favourites? The hammerhead looks the most amazing. The
great white has the most incredible predation when it breaches out of
the water when chasing seals. But my overall favourite is the manta
ray as they are so beautiful, and they look at you with those big
eyes with real intelligence. They also look as though they are from
outer space! </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 150%;">The
ballet piece ‘Fix Me, Jesus’ is transfixing. Linda Celeste Sims
is the epitome of grace and strength, arousing gasps from the
audience as she pivots in arabesque, perfectly balanced. One should not underestimate the strength of her dance partner Glenn Allen
Sims, as many non-dancers so often do. It takes a great amount of
agility, strength and focus to partner a ballerina with such grace and effortlessness.</span></div>

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is a unique, inspirational modern

African-American culture and the power of American modern dance
tradition. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater deserves its reputation

opened the show with his beautiful, haunting melodies, followed by
the ever energetic, entertaining Freshly Ground. The latter took the
minds of every South African present back to the past with their hits
'Do Bee Do', 'I'd like' and, of course, 'Waka Waka'. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
lovely George Ezra then took the stage. He held the audience
captivated from start to finish with his quirky sense of humour as he
told anecdotes of his journey across Europe, and how certain people
and places influenced his songwriting. His humble smile and soulful
baritone voice then captured a few hearts as he delighted with hits
'Budapest' and 'Blame it on me', as well as few other gems that are
sure to be hit singles in the near future.</span></span><br />

sparkling lights of Carnival City. We'd happily take another road trip –
physically and mentally – with George Ezra any time!</span></span></div>

Goema, is part of their heritage and they grew up listening to
Abdullah Ibrahim, Winston Mankunku and Errol Dyers, and hearing the

passionate about what you do and to plug at it constantly no matter

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
you haven’t seen the high-energy ‘My Mom is so cool’ </span></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW4WfO0LMnw"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">commercia</span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">l
from Blue Ribbon, where have you been? In a bold break from
tradition, the commercial was created as a contemporary music video,
showcasing the dance talent of young South Africans. It’s
already got people talking.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Blue
Ribbon called on expert choreographer and actress, Lorcia Cooper, to
bring the commercial to life. Cooper choreographed the dance sequence
by drawing on her extensive knowledge of dance trends including Hip
Hop, Pantsula and Kwaito to produce a high-energy routine. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
selection process for the cast of school kids began with open
auditions, and was based on talent and personality. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
“<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
cast was full of energy – there was never a dip in enthusiasm at
any point during rehearsals or filming,” says Cooper. “Dance is a
fun way to keep young bodies and minds fit and healthy – and with
the energy from a balanced diet, kids can fully enjoy growing up.”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On
seeing the finished product for the first time, Cooper says, “I was
incredibly proud of the kids and couldn’t believe how well the
routine worked as both a commercial and a music video.” </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
“<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
don’t like to pick favourites, but I really love the Pantsula
segments and the closing scene, when all the kids are dancing
together – we had so much fun,” she adds.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.17in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cooper
hopes this snapshot of young talent will encourage support for South
African dance. “I hope to be more involved in the development of
the local dance scene, and projects like this one are a step in the
right direction,” she concludes.</span></span></div>
