Teksmark Joburg 2026: Hear new stories take shape
What does a new South African play sound like before it reaches the stage? What does it take to create a cabaret? Join UJ Arts & Culture and the KKNK for Teksmark Joburg on Wednesday 21 October 2026, and experience playreadings that bring fresh theatrical ideas to life.
Hear playwrights introduce their work, watch performers read excerpts, and be part of the conversation as these stories begin their journey towards the stage. Whether you love theatre or are curious about how a play is made, you are welcome.
This year a special focus is placed on cabaret, satire and comedy. With this in mind, veteran director Marthinus Basson presents a fascinating introduction to the art of cabaret, with new cabaret ideas and sketches performed as part of the session.
Admission is free. Book your ticket on Quicket to join us at the University of Johannesburg.
Teksmark Joburg is presented by the KKNK and NATi, with the support of UJ Arts & Culture, The Baxter Theatre and the Het Jan Marais Nationale Fonds.
Teksmark Joburg 2026: Hoor hoe nuwe stories gevorm word
Hoe klink ’n nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse toneelstuk voordat dit op die verhoog is? Hoe word ’n kabaret geskep? Sluit aan by UJ Kuns & Kultuur en die KKNK vir Teksmark Joburg op Woensdag 21 Oktober 2026 en beleef leesteater-aanbiedings wat lewe gee aan vars teateridees.
Hoor hoe skrywers hul werk bekendstel, kyk hoe kunstenaars uittreksels voorlees en neem deel aan die gesprek terwyl hierdie stories hul reis na die verhoog begin. Of jy nou ’n teaterliefhebber is, of bloot nuuskierig is oor hoe ’n toneelstuk gevorm word, almal is welkom.
Vanjaar word die fokus spesifiek op kabaret, satire en komedie geplaas. Met dit ingedagte, bied veteraan-regisseur Marthinus Basson ’n fassinerende inleiding tot die kuns van kabaret aan, met nuwe kabaretidees en sketse wat as deel van die sessie opgevoer word.
Toegang is gratis. Bespreek jou kaartjie op Quicket en kuier saam by die Universiteit van Johannesburg.
Teksmark Joburg word aangebied deur die KKNK en NATi, met ondersteuning van UJ Kuns & Kultuur, die Baxter-teater en die Het Jan Marais Nationale Fonds.
