Challenging Boundaries through the arts

The Cape Cultural Collective has grown from humble beginnings in 2007 to a powerful arts movement.

The CCC mission is to foster inclusion and unity and promote personal and collective development through the arts.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to promoting equality and justice through our programmes. We recognise the social divides in society and seek to build a shared and active citizenship and humanity.

We do so through the following nine programmes:

  • Cultural programmes – concerts, community cultural events and theatre productions.
  • Nature and Arts – includes hikes, excursions and education.
  • Rosa choir – a diverse community choir that sings in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa.
  • Triple C Ensemble – a high-level ensemble that strives for professional and income-generating performances.
  • Music Training and Development – music lessons for members.
  • Writers’ Club – a space for developing writing expertise.
  • Performing Arts Access and Support – supporting and facilitating greater access to the arts.
  • Children’s Arts Group – learners from three schools do music, dance and drama
  • Triple C Recordings – produces professional music, poetry and dance videos.

Over the last 18 years, we have had several theatre productions at Artscape, hosted arts and human rights workshops, produced two poetry anthologies, did a poetry production in France, appeared on TV and, recently, formed a partnership with Artscape.
