The group consists of nine young and vibrant eurythmists from many different countries including Korea, China, Romania and the US, under the experienced leadership of Michael Leber, a seasoned eurythmy trainer and performer. Alison Kane, a former Waldorf pupil at Michael Oak and Constantia studied Eurythmy at the Kairos Eurythmy School here in Cape Town and is now a member of the Stuttgart Eurythmy Ensemble for the second year. This group will be touring the Cape from the 10th to the 25th of March, performing in various Waldorf schools to Primary and High School classes as well as for the teachers at the 100 years Teachers Conference, Nurturing Seeds. They will also give a public performance at Michael Oak on Saturday 16th of March at 7.30pm to which everyone is warmly invited. The group is covering their costs through fundraising and donations which will be gratefully received at the door. This will be a wonderful opportunity for new - and not so new - parents to get a glimpse of what Eurythmy is, see you there! Christiane Janowski, High School Eurythmy Teacher For the first time, the Märchenensemble (Fairytale Ensemble) from the Eurythmeum Stuttgart, will be coming to South Africa! For 25 years, The Märchenensemble has been a platform for graduated eurythmists to work with and experience artistic stage eurythmy. This year, we are a colourful group of nine eurythmists, from seven different countries (Germany, America, Holland, Japan. South Korea, South Africa and Serbia) and six different eurythmy trainings: Eurythmeum Stuttgart, Alanus Hochschule, Eurythmeum CH (Aesch, Dornarch) Spring Valley (USA), Leiden (Holland), Euritmije Stoimena (Zagreb, Croatia) and Kairos Eurythmy Training (Cape Town). The Märchenensemble is a year-long project, in which we work on a fair- ytale and evening program, and perform up to a hundred performances in schools, kindergartens and homes around the world. Everything from the selection of the fairytale, choreography, design of stage and background, costumes and the organisation of performances, are arranged by the group with the help of our director, Michael Leber. Along with Germany and South Africa, this year our tour takes us to Italy, China, South Korea, Georgia, Armenia and the Netherlands. As a past student of Michael Oak and Constantia Waldorf, I am excited to be bringing what I have learnt and experienced these past two years in the Eurythmeum Stuttgart. I feel that this is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the connection between the Anthroposophical communities of Germany and South Africa, especially during this time, as we celebrate 100 Years of Waldorf education.

Eurythmy Ensemble from Stuttgart/German... Continued An urgent plea to our community. One of the host families who were going to accommodate three members of the eurythmy group has withdrawn at the last minute. We are looking to find accommodation for three men, two are happy to share a room. They are unable to pay for the accommodation as they are performing simply to cover cost. We would be deeply grateful if a simple breakfast could be offered with the accommodation. The group is working and performing mainly on a voluntary basis and there are limited funds to meet costs for breakfast. The required time is 13th to 25th of
March or a portion thereof.
If you are able to help in any way please email Christiane Janowski at [email protected] .
The Class 12s have been hard at work with their modern play presentations, constructing elaborate sets, creating their costumes, and directing each other towards two challenging and entertaining comedies. The process has been an intense one of inspired teamwork and self discovery and the
curtains will soon open for your enjoyment!
The Real Inspector Hound
In Tom Stoppard's brilliant philosophical comedy, a new whodunnit is opening on the London stage. Who is the psychopathic madman on the loose? Will the police arrive at isolated Muldoon Manor in time? In time for what, exactly? How many twists in the tale will there be? Hilarious melodrama and West End clichés ensue, but some of the critics in the audience clearly have other questions on their minds. How does a theatre critic reach the
height of their profession? Who were you seen drinking with last night? And coffee cream or Turkish delight?
A Flea in her Ear
Georges Feydeau was the undoubted master of the French farce and this classic from the turn of the 20th century shows off his plot pyrotechnics and saucy good humour to great effect! Victor Chandebise is struggling to connect with his lovely wife Raymonde. He asks his doctor for advice, but in her suspicious jealousy Raymonde calls on the aid of her friend Lucienne and crafts a trick for Victor involving a trip to the somewhat seedy Hotel Casablanca. Chaos ensues involving a porter who looks just like Victor, Raymonde's wannabe suitor, compromised maids and servants, a cousin
who can't pronounce any consonants, a ferocious Spanish husband and a truly misguided Englishman.

“What is the difference between a community and an ecosystem? An ecosystem is a community without
waste!” Fritjof Capra
In Grapevine #4 2019, Eduardo Shimahara from the Fair of Bees Green Team presented a challenge to shift the mindset from ‘managing waste’ to ‘preventing and avoiding
waste’.
His vision of zero or minimal waste was daunting but working towards that goal really paid off and the end
result was impressive.
These were the final results of all the waste which was measured at
the school’s Recycling Depot::
RECYCLING WASTE: 48.5 kg (collected for recycling in a dozen boxes)
GENERAL WASTE: 28.8kg (including all biodegradable items)
FOOD WASTE: 13.5 kg (mainly fruit peels, salad scraps, chicken bones & coffee grains which only partially filled two packets)
To achieve these results, drinks were sold in tins & refundable glass bottles, a wash station was manned for hired crockery & cutlery, cakes were supplied by parents on plates & in tins, the sale of ice--bites and other plastic-packaged items was banned and many stall holders sought creative ways to reduce unnecessary packaging. So there was very little plastic in the mix besides the garbage bags we used to bag food and general waste,
wrappers from a few of the stalls and coffee cup lids.
We’d welcome constructive feedback which can be mailed to Eduardo ([email protected]). What can be improved in future? What
difficulties did you experience? We noted that we could have designed a better system to help the food stalls manage waste.
We are very grateful to the many stall holders, teachers, students and parents who supported this waste initiative and especially to the ground staff
and cleaning ladies who gave invaluable help with the recycling and wash station efforts throughout the day.
We also urge next year’s fair organis-ers (and actually all school event or-ganisers) to pick up the minimal waste challenge too and improve on these
results in the future.
