A host of firsts at Skouspel 2011

20 Oct 2011

Skouspel 2011, the 12th event of its kind, took place from 7-9 October and 14-16 October 2011, at the Sun City Superbowl and a host of firsts were celebrated. There were seven female and 38 male artists at this year's event and Coenie de Villiers was honoured for his contribution to Afrikaans music.

Several artists were assisted by Coenie in performing a selection of his hits - Jennifer Jones, Snotkop and Die Heuwels Fantasties among them.

The year's Skouspel featured a range of new elements: giant screens with thematic videos complemented the multimillion rand stage, in step with international trends. This was also the first year that dancers formed part of the act.

Top fashion designers and design houses

A range of top fashion designers and design houses took care of the outfits, such as: Karen ter Morshuizen of Lunar, Stefania Morland, Suzaan Heyns, Diaan Daniels, Heni, 46664, Shaldon Kopman for Naked Ape, Errol Arendz shoes, Klûk CGDT, Hip Hop, Thula Sindi, David Tlale and Joel Janse van Vuuren. Eugenie Drakes of Piece provided the African-inspired jewellery. Designers well known for contributions to previous year's Skouspel outfits were also there: Kobus Dippenaar, Gert-Johan Coetzee and Dazelle Venter. House of Monatic's C2 label dressed the men in tailored suits.

First Nianell book

Italian singer Patrizio Buanne, the first international star to grace the Skouspel stage, impressed audiences when he sang a few lines of a song in Afrikaans and Nianell launched her first book, Knowing Who I Am, at Skouspel Vrouedag.

And for those who couldn't make it to this year's Skouspel, it will be on the big screen at Ster-Kinekor theatres from 11 November. Call Ster-Kinekor's ticket line on +27 (0)82 16789 or go to www.sterkinekor.com for more information. The Skouspel DVD and CD will go on sale at the end of November.
