Mystical Delights and Ingenious Madness fitting for the month of March. Fancy a cuppa tea with that???
Unlike the Mad Hatters traumatic little event, this one promises to delight.
And so it shall. Prepare yourself for this is one event that bound to turn your world inside out.
Join the “madcap melody-makers, artists flamboyant, syrupy tea-ladies, freakish party animals, cross-dressing gorilla’s, candy-floss cowgirls, rooibos sippen diva’s, greased-up rockers, disco deviants, swingtastical jazz-cats, loved-up funkters, queenly kings, kingly queens, non-sensical amusers, trumpet blasting poodles, cupcake cuties, cookie-cutter mullets,betty crocker matrons, minge muffins, crimplene cookies, animal crackers, hot-but-not-cross buns, iced fancies, eccentric tribesman, afro-shaking mama’s, unorthodox greeks, harmonious poets, rubbish magicians, safari suited cubans and possibly that smelly family dog too!” and enter a world beyond imagination.
As you may have guessed this is more then upper nosed high society cradling the finest china. However there are recommended behaviours to observe.
For instance the actual act of tea drinking is a highly sophisticated art form and if therefore more refined then your usual cuppa tea. However this isn’t a pinkie in the air kind of affair…so kudos to creativeness and originality. What would the world be without it?
This is your weekend to let out your inner child and run wild. (Terms and Conditions always apply)
SATURDAY IS FOR PLEASURE & SUNDAY FOR LEISURE & THIS IS HOW WE ARE TOLD THINGS WILL UNFOLD:
THE TEA GARDEN is open from Saturday morning till late and hosts The Great Waltz after sunset. Sunday will present Le Picnic as we continue to shift sideways through a relaxed daytime party aimed to uplift and leave you feeling fresh.
NIGHT TIME once darkness descends and the nightly creatures come out, your options still twinkle. Saunter over to the Munged Bean Shebeen and get caught up in some late night shenanigans, or cut yourself a rug at the Pyjama Party.
THE GREAT WALTZ is your chance to be part of a World Record breaking attempt! Bring your partner, or grab one there, as an esteemed dance teacher shows us the moves to use as we attempt to break the world record for the largest coupled Waltz.
So there you have it… and knowing this lot* they are bound to dazzle and surprise you with gift wrapped wicked afterthoughts.
It seems surprising that a cramped little upstairs room at Cape Town’s longstanding late-night Long Street eatery, Mr Pickwicks, can accommodate the kind of high-energy live performance hybrid dance music that fans of Goldfish, Coda, Iridium Project and Flash Republic are presently switching on to. But, with typically irrational disregard for conventional behaviour, dynamic three-piece live dance outfit Pravda23 has scaled down its successful dance/art stageshow to accommodate only 60 brave and fortunate people every week. Welcome to Saturdays in October with Pravda23.
Every Saturday in October, Pravda23 will be plugging in and banging out an inimitable live music party upstairs at Mr Pickwicks at 9pm. Cover charge is R30 (for your first Saturday: free for all Saturdays in October thereafter!). T-shirts, CDs, comic art, badges and stickers are on sale. Various art projects take place every week on the open-air balcony overlooking Long Street, and materials are provided.
Pravda23 is a musical outfit from Cape Town, South Africa. Taking cues from groove music across a number of genres, Pravda23 is led by multi-instrumentalist and musical director John Bartmann, and features a variety of session artists, including acclaimed scratch DJ Knucklez, and classical guitarist and pianist James Harris. Their music is a cross section of danceable electronic beats and live performance, often featuring live violin, keyboard, guitar, turntables, djembe drums, knives, forks, tables, stomping feet, and various other percussive instruments.
Bartmann began his music career at the age of three, playing from his older sister’s piano books, taking violin lessons at the age of 10, teaching himself guitar, drums and African drums and returning to violin twelve years later after receiving an amazing response to live violin electronica from the South African crowds. He has been composing hybrid electronic music since 2004. Nick Knucklez has been DJing since 2003 and performs live djembe, didgeridoo, scratching and FX from behind the decks. All music is free to download and enjoy from www.pravda23.com.
Pravda23 can be compared to artists such as Röyksopp, Telépopmusik, Nôze, Daft Punk, Goldfrapp, Moby, Massive Attack, Underworld, The Bays, Robert Miles, Plaid, Zero7, Telefon Tel Aviv, Air, Portishead, Leftfield, and St Germain, amongst others. Sparse vocals, dense basslines and powerful synthesizer stabs, arrhythmic trip-hop violin pizzicato, glitchy patches of intelligent dance music programming and haunting violin overlays. A magnificent hybrid of live and programmed audio, performed enthusiastically and released for free download on www.pravda23.com regularly.

Sensity, the a multi-sensory, multi-faceted event for the deaf and hearing impaired now comes to Cape Town! Friday, 6th of March 2009 in the Founders Garden.
Senscity is a multi-sensory, multi-faceted event; a concept born in the Netherlands by Skyway Foundation creator, Ronald Ligtenberg (described as “slightly off-the-wall” by his friends and colleagues). He believes that since nothing is impossible; everything is possible. Which is why, six years ago, he started organising Sencity – a music event for deaf, hearing and hearing impaired. What seems to be impossible, music events for the deaf, has taken on the world over. By stimulating all senses, Sencity makes it possible to give the deaf and hearing impaired a music experience that even hearing-able hearing people can mark down as something they have never exprienced before.
