Abstract
English: This study inquires about the drama activities at Kruik/CAPAB and Kuntekaap/Arts Cape over three periods. The background to the establishment of the Arts Council and info regarding the structure, finances and policy is shortly provided. In 1971 the Nico Malan Theatre was built and its functioning and artistic highlights are indicated. By 2001 the ACTAG-report led to the new arts policy in the White Paper (Arts, Culture and Heritage) in 1996. The impact and name change to Kunstekaap/Arts Cape on the functioning, the artists and the artistic programme, which became more commercialized, is investigated. According to the study, by 2011 there is a revival of activities and Kunstekaap/Arts Cape plays a major role in the arts life in Cape Town. The policy is fully established and better cooperation with other theatres, governing bodies and artist groups is established. The last chapter deals with the perceptions of artists regarding the functioning and policies. There is definite discontent about the issue that Kunstekaap/Arts Cape and other similar institutions do not appoint permanent artists as the quality of their lives and work security has been negatively influenced. They plead for a revisit to the National arts policy and a few suggestions are made.
Afrikaans: In die studie word die drama-aktiwiteite by Kruik/CAPAB en Kunstekaap/Arts Cape in drie periodes ondersoek. Die agtergrond na die stigting van die Streeksrade kortliks geskets met inligting oor die struktuur, finansiering en beleid. In 1971 is die Nico Malanteater gebou en die funksionering en artistieke hoogtepunte in die jaar word uitgelig. Teen 2001 het die ACTAG-verslag gelei tot 'n nuwe kunstebeleid volgens die Witskrif (Kuns, Kultuur en Erfenis) 1996. Die impak van die nuwe beleid en naamsverandering na Kunstekaap/Arts Cape op die funksionering van die instelling, en die kunstenaars en artistieke program, wat meer gekommersialiseer geraak het, word ondersoek. Teen 2011 is daar volgens die ondersoek weer ʼn oplewing in aktiwiteite en Kunstekaap/Arts Cape speel ʼn besondere rol in die kunstelewe van Kaapstad. Die beleid is ten volle ingestel en beter samewerking met owerheidsinstansies en ander teaters en kunstenaarsgroepe word sterk gevestig. In die laaste hoofstuk kom die persepsies van kunstenaars oor die funksionering van die beleid ter sprake en opsigtelik is daar ontevredenheid onder kunstenaars spesifiek oor die feit dat Kunstekaap en ander soortgelyke instelling nie vaste geselskappe het nie en hul lewensgehalte en werksekerheid negatief beïnvloed is. ʼn Herbesoek aan die Nasionale kunstebeleid word versoek en enkele voorstelle word gemaak.
