16th Masdanza Contemporary Dance Festival (Spain)
Movimiento África is a programme that began with the conclusion of the 1st Africa-Spain meeting of Choreographers held in La Gomera (Canary Islands) in January 2010, to establish contacts between professionals in this art form in order to launch a series of creative residences for African artists in Spanish choreographic centres, in addition to promoting visibility for African contemporary dance in our country.
In this regard, and to celebrate the 16th Masdanza Contemporary Dance Festival of the Canary Islands, which will take place from 15 to 22 October, an international call has been opened for dancers from all over the world to submit their choreographies and to compete for participation.
The emergent African artists selected to participate in this festival, will have the opportunity to take part in the 2nd Africa-Spain Choreographer's Meeting which will be held from 8 to 12 October in Mercat des Flors (Barcelona).

Rent: National Trust of Zimbabwe Gala Performance Fund-raiser (15 April)
Rent is a fast paced, energetic, very moving musical that follows the lives of a group of friends living in Alphabet City in New York and how
they cope with life, love and art all under the shadow of the ever-increasing AIDS problem. The music is fantastic; the young cast is
vibrant and talented; and the director, Zane Lucas, won Afdis awards last year for best direction and best production.
Owing to some of the content, the show is rated PG 16 and we can provide details for any concerned parents, should need be.
This fund-raiser is for La Rochelle - a property left in Trust for the enjoyment of all Zimbabweans and visitors alike, by the Courtaulds. The aim is to restore this gracious property situated in the Imbeza Valley on the Mozambique border - and adjacent botanical garden to its former glory.

Performing Arts Bulawayo [PAB] and the Academy [Bulawayo]
Downton Abbey (14 April)
Thursday 14 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
This outstanding series set in the years preceding World War I continues. "Sumptuous, instantly riveting" [The Daily Telegraph]
Admission: $3.00
Ballet Double Bill: Le Corsaire and The Dream (15 April)
Friday 15 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.
The Corsair is a colourful extravaganza with a preposterous plot, magnificent scenic effects and dramatic choreography. It is one of Petipa's least known but most exotic ballets and contains some of his most spectacular choreography, done full justice in this recording from the Kirov Ballet made in 1989. The Dream, by contrast, is one of Sir Frederick Ashton's best-loved ballets, created for the Shakespeare quatercentenary in 1964 and shown here in a production by the American Ballet Theatre with Alexandra Ferri as Titania.
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
Bulawayo Chamber Music Society (16 April)
Saturday 16 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m.

There will also be some vocal music including Handel's Ombra ma fui (better known as "Handel's Largo"), Stranger in Paradise, Jealousy, Cinema Paradiso, Panis Angelicus and a medley of Italian Songs when the singers will be Pieter Cloete and Graham Bishop.

Elgar's great work was presented in St.Paul's Cathedral in November 1997 as part of the celebrations of the BBC's 75th and the Cathedral's 300th anniversaries . Andrew Davis conducts an inspired performance with Catherine Wyn Rogers, Philip Langridge, Alastair Miles and the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
Film: Barabbas (21 April)
Thursday 21 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
Anthony Quinn stars in Barabbas, the fictional story of the man released by the people of Jerusalem in preference to Jesus. "A lavish production coupled with a good script (based on Per Langerkvist's novel) and generally fine acting by the large cast make for an engrossing, literate experience" (Leonard Maltin's 2011 Movie Guide).
Admission: $3.00 [free to film subscribers]
The Queen (28 April)
Thursday 28 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
The celebrated film is an engrossing, intimate and intelligently witty portrait of some of the monarchy's darkest days in the week following the death of Princess Diana. "Helen Mirren as the Queen is a sensation" (The Times).
Admission: $3.00 [free to film subscribers]
Donizetti: Mary Stuart (29 April)
Friday 29 April in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.
Donizetti's opera offers a great singing-actress tremendous opportunities, especially in the fictitious encounter with her persecutor, Elizabeth I, when royal pride, defiance and finally fury are her undoing, whilst the scenes leading to her execution embrace optimism, regret, love, remorse and despair. Dame Janet Baker's portrayal was regarded as one of the pinnacles of her career, and she chose the role for her farewell to the London operatic stage in 1982 when this recording was made.
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

DRAMA, THEATRE & SPOKEN WORD
Literary discussion: 'Reading In Zimbabwe' @ Book Café (12 April)
On 12 April, the early evening Book Café literary discussion will look at 'Reading in Zimbabwe', led by Petina Gappah, with writers Ian Holding, Daniel Mandishona and Blessing Musariri. It will discuss the importance and pleasures of reading, and explore how Zimbabwe can truly become a literate country.
In 2010, the UN placed Zimbabwe at the top of the adult literacy table in Africa with a 92 per cent adult literacy rate. But what is the meaning of literacy in a country where reading has become an expense?
Petina, the Chairperson of the Harare City Library Management Committee, is determined to make a difference, and this discussion is the first presentation hosted jointly between the Library and Pamberi Trust.
The Book Café, Fife Ave, Harare, Tuesday 12 April, 5.30-7pm
Fife Avenue Shopping Mall (upstairs), cnr. Fife Ave. / 6th Street, Harare (access upstairs parking from 6th St)
Book reading: Shimmer Chinodya (English and German) @ ZGS (14 April)
Weaver Press and GZH / ZGS invite you to join them for a lively discussion - while enjoying some wine and snacks - on cross-cultural fiction in 2011 with a book-reading in English and German of Shimmer Chinodya's "Strife" / "Zwietracht" on 14 April, 17.30 to 19.30pm, at the ZGS Gazebo.
Shimmer Chinodya's novel, Strife, winner of the Noma Award, has recently been published in Germany, entitled, Zwietracht. What gives a novel its appeal in a different continent in another language?
Its shared humanity, through the depth of its characterisation; the fascination of its plot? contemporary themes that address concerns shared worldwide? or its exoticism? These are among the few questions that Franzi Kramer a young German scholar will address when she introduces Strife, and analyses its appeal for a German audience, following which she and Shimmer Chinodya will read passages from both books in German and in English.
Come and join us for some wine and snacks and a lively discussion about cross-cultural fiction in 2011.

Association of Complementary Health Practitioners (12 April)
Our monthly gathering at Highlands Sports Club will be on Tuesday, 12 April, at 6.00 pm for 6.30 pm.
Please note earlier start to accommodate the AGM, which we ask everyone to attend as we are introducing a revised constitution.
We need your support everyone. Please be there.
Our speaker will be Dell Smith, a well-known and well-loved natural therapist who has treated thousands of people over the 40 years in which she has practised in Harare. Dell works as a homeopath, and uses a variety of therapies, although she modestly sums up her work in the following few words;
"I qualified as a Naturopath in 1969 through the Naturopathic College of South Africa, which is no longer in existence. I was taught to work with the pendulum by Sister Marie Naude, a Naturopath from Cape Town, and learnt to use a radionic instrument for diagnosis. I worked and studied with Dr. Andrew Cox, a Homoeopath and Osteopath in Harare,for two and a half years before he left in March 1971. He referred many of his patients to me and I started practising in a small way at that time. My talk, after the AGMm will be about the many memorable moments which have occurred during my forty years of practice."
Everyone will find Dell's talk of interest and value, and most of us have been to her as patients, so come and hear some of her memories and stories.
After the talk we will have a "Bring and Share Supper", and we ask that everyone who attends will bring a plate of snacks towards the meal, or a pudding or salad. It is a pleasant evening, and the bar will be open for drinks. A small donation is requested at the door to cover our costs of hall hire and the help of the kitchen staff. Everyone is welcome, and new members invited to join, and we always welcome new therapists.
Zimbabwe German Society: Treffpunkt Deutsch (14 April)

Our signature look is one of casual elegance - the decor items, wrought-iron furniture & accessories we manufacture speak to a lifestyle of discerning taste & a mix of the old (local Tonga doors/stools & collections from abroad) and new. We now have in stock wrought-iron products with stained glass, Zimbabwean and Namibian granite and Rhodesian teak. For further details, please contact Kudzi on : 0773-654 892 or 499851.
